Teyla

The last time I rewatched SGA I was alligning myself and focusing on Rodney McKay, but in the past I had focused on Elizabeth Weir and when I was,faced with a difficult choice I liked to think of myself more as a Teyla.

As I was sitting around minding my own thoughts one came to me that Teyla was an incredible person and I ought to be more like her, it would really be more of an uncomfortable stretch for me.

No, On the surface she is a strong warrior woman, but that is not what I want to model. Rather it is her bahavior and general goodwill and respectability.

Originally, her plight, as explained to Woolsey as no easy one, was ended when she decided that making no change would be best; However, this time it seems more the balance. She, like I have discovered often, has her serious intent of protecting her child and feels like continuing to serve on the team was a huge risk to her child, one he never chose, and the baby seems innocent but, she sees that by joining the team and serving others, she will be saving more lives, including her self-centered interest, so it seems that the greater good is served in returning to the team. Though it was not the way she intended to protect her son, it is the best option (though so,many others would argue that her place is with her son) but she must just accept another plan though not as widely understood is best.
