I'm SO glad the atmosphere worked - it was written in such a rush that I was worried that got lost. But it was clear in my head so I'm delighted it came over right.
Once I got John's motivations sorted out, the scene just seemed to come together - the whole thing between them is so awkward, I really wanted that in there.
Heh, Teyla's wisdom is actually cut from an old Big Bang draft. Recycling: Better for the environment and story-telling ;) But yes, in her voice it doesn't sound trite at all, although Star Wars is definitely more John's level :D
Thanks so much for all the encouragement and help - wouldn't have made it without you guys!
