I've been putting off checking out ATL because of some of the reactions I've seen online, particularly towards Weir. I liked Weir in SGSG-1 and I wanted to continue liking her. I've only seen 8 episodes or thereabouts and my response was pretty much the same as yours, so perhaps I'll buy or rent the ATL boxset and catch up on what I've missed.
"The show has done nothing to cure me of my 48 Hours-induced McKay crush as he simply rules."
Yeah, I was pleased to hear they had kept the '48 Hours' Rodney rather than diluting him. It's very satisfying to see how popular he is now as DH isn't really a pretty boy but he's a damned good actor, so in this case talent has won out. Now I want to see DH and Michael Shanks tossed into a room together to see what would happen with their characters. I'm not entirely sure who would win that particular snark-fest but it would be so much fun watching it.
"Love Weir; such a change having someone in charge who doesn’t get into entrenched positions. I suspect she has a What Would Daniel Do? badge hidden somewhere in her room. "
*snort* According to Torri, Weir has a Daniel Jackson pillow so the badge is a distinct possibility. I'm so relieved you like her as it's a good indication I'll continue to like her, too.
"However, even though I know it would probably be very bad for the show on all kinds of levels, I really *really* want Ronon and Teyla to have lots and lots of sex where I can watch them having it, because they’re just so amazingly hot together."
One of the recent episodes I caught was one with a volcano about to erupt. There was a lovely scene with Ronon and Teyla with Ronon admitting Teyla was right. Very nicely done and showed up both characters in a good light. Very nice chemistry there.
