Or, with the more realistic end-point of 80,000 words:



Most of this week has ben about Teyla and the Athosians (though I did get to write movie night on Atlantis, which was a lot of fun), which has, of course, led to a whole lot of stuff that I wasn't anticipating when I started that story-line, like what Michael would do if he went to capture the Athosians and couldn't get them. For which I actually have a solution, but, gah, changing the plot of an entire season is a lot more work that it seemed when I started.

Oh yeah, that whole, then Cam and John have sex thing I was talking about this time last week? Still haven't written it. It's totally in the next scene or two, I swear. Maybe.

I think Elizabeth was awesome. Especially when they first introduced the character and in moments where she wasn't around Rodney or John (dealing with the IOA, "Real World," Intruder) But way too often she ended up playing mom/principal to John and Rodney's BS.

While I don't doubt that Sheppard and Weir liked and cared for one another, I don't think he was anymore respectful of her than he was of his military commanders. With Weir, in Atlantis, it was just easier to get away with it.

I was always kind of ambivalent about her - she had moments of being very cool, as you say, but then moments when it seemed like she just couldn't be bothered, like in The Game.

I dunno - in a lot of ways, their styles of leadership were too different to work without some kind of agreed compromise, and Sheppard's not really a compromise person; he definitely got away with a lot, as you say, maybe because she didn't exactly have authority over him? Okay, yes, she was the expedition leader, but there wasn't a lot she cold do if he disobeyed her, short of sending him back to Earth.
