nellacittaThis is from August, but oh my goodness, my heart grew three sizes reading it. Rachel Luttrell, how are you so lovely??
I loved the relationship that Teyla had with MacKay. It was somewhat irreverent and yet lovable. My character would constantly roll her eyes, even if not physically but sometimes in her demeanor, at McKay, but it was always in a kind of affectionate way.
...
With Michael's and Teyla's relationship, that was such a crazy and wonderful journey. My character was, at least in the beginning, truly sympathetic to his plight, and yet here was this man, creature, or whatever who was for all intents and purposes a Wraith, and therefore an entity who decimated her people. That was quite compelling to play, and something that carried through to the end where, sadly, there was absolutely no love loss, certainly for Teyla, when it comes to Michael. However, in those last few scenes and working with Connor, it was fascinating to discuss the fact that Michael's view of Teyla was that she could be his queen. She could be the one person who would understand him, and he really latched onto that. So for all his kind of diabolical undertones, and there were many, he honestly thought that their relationship could work.
