SGA episode question...

[icarus]

"I just have a hard time talking about... you know...."

"Feelings?"

wildernessguru wants to watch the episode where John has that stilted conversation with Teyla ("that was sweet"). The thing is, I can't even remember what season that was, let alone what episode.

Which episode has that conversation between John and Teyla?

I believe it was "Sateda", S3.

Yup, 3x04. It was making me crazy trying to remember, so I found a transcript. http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/atlantis/season3/atlantis-304.htm

As a side note, if you try googling SGA, John, Teyla and emotions, you get...well, a heck of a lot more het (and smooshy het, at that) then I've seen in quite a while.

Aha! You're right. And coincidence of coincidences, it just happens to be the episode we're watching.

Cool.

Thank you. And coincidence of coincidences, it just happens to be the episode we're watching now.

Now I have to do that google search.

[sasha-feather.livejournal.com]

Whoo! That's just a classic conversation.

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

Lucky coincidence indeed!

And if you do that google search, don't say I didn't warn you...

Is it good het?

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

Well, I have to admit that I didn't actually click on any of the links, but from what google showed me, my guess would be no, not quite so much with the good het. I fully admit that some of it is just that I can't see John/Teyla no matter which way I turn my head, but there were some...interesting snippets. Let's see if I can find some that I saw earlier.

"Five Ways John Confesses His Feelings for Teyla"
"My attempt at a not so angsty John and Teyla vid. So way more of the fluff and less of the other stuff.John/Teyla Scenario:Teyla has feelings for John"
"Looking at Teyla, John could see her concern, but his feelings were in a state of flux, what if, he did tell her everything, and how would that affect the future."
"John and Teyla have always had this understanding between each other and this magnetizing connection that binds them in ways that I don't think they can even express. It started in Rising from the minute that they met and it has continued on since."
"I think if Ronon starts to develop feelings for Teyla, John might get a little jealous"

"...and this magnetizing connection..."

Oh, dear. LOL.

Well, goodness knows you could never find any descriptions like that for John/Rodney fic! Slash is just so much higher and nobler and purer!

It is in "Sateda," one of those weird awkwardly-written things they did in S3 to try to make the team seem more bonded. Apparently they had some trouble figuring out how, you know, people who are friends would actually talk to and act with each other, so you got those bizarre anvils in between the occasional very good moment (still love the end of "McKay & Mrs. Miller" where the rest of the team tells obvious horrible lies about how much they didn't like Rod to make Rodney feel better about himself).

LOL! Good heavens, gosh no. Here, let me scan ff.net for any slash fic summary that's followed with "R&R plz!"

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know - I've read descriptions of slash fic that were much, much more cringe-worthy than these. Part of it was that I was *completely* not expecting to see any links about fic - het, slash, or otherwise - since I was looking for an episode description, and part of it is that to me, John and Teyla's relationship seems so sibling-like that any description of them wanting to be intimate with each other just seems off.

Or even better, the "review or I won't continue". Gotta love that.

Guaranteed to get me to *not* read a story, that one.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Nothing makes me want to read a story more than a threat -- minus the gun to my head.

If they were able to include the gun I would surely read it.
