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 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.

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.

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.
