I do feel sorry for John as he's missing such great aspects of his team's characters... "Teyla smiles more. Her eyes are sly, slanted." and "they often argue in a silent, shared language."
I know that it's the 'curse' of a leader to be somewhat apart from their team, as it wouldn't work otherwise, but this shows some of the cost of that... so in that way, I find it has the air of melancholy.
