I definitely agree with you; the writers are lousy with ships. And too, I love the friendship aspect of all their relationships the best. Going down the shipper wars, well, I never should've gone there- hope I didn't offend. I understand how Sheyla shippers have their opinions and will dutifully respect them.
And to the anti-shippers, I get their point most of all. Plausibly speaking, there's just no room for anything other than the friendships Sheppard has with both Weir and Teyla. Anything more would not undermind either his working relationship with Weir or his team functionality with Teyla, and when off-world, that could be dangerous.
The friendship bond, that's what I'll miss most of all between Weir and Sheppard. I would rather she died in his arms and we get to see some good Sheppard angst at her passing, than her slowly fading into Fordville.
It's scarry too to see such sweeping changes in the face of SGA still making a bid for a 5th season and that hinging on the back half of season 3 and the front half of season 4; alienating viewers by offing key characters just doesn't seem too smart.
Will Tapping be enough to 'save the day' ... I almost hope not just to show TP&TB how very wrong they are. Except that we'd no longer have Shep, and for him, I'll hold on. I just won't deny how I feel.
