Editing Teal'c (section)

===Relationships===
At the beginning of the series, Teal'c is married to [[Drey'auc]] and has a son, [[Rya'c]]. When Teal'c defects to Earth, he leaves them behind on his homeworld, Chulak. Teal'c briefly reunites with his family in season 1's "[[Bloodlines (Stargate SG-1)|Bloodlines]]" and season 2's "[[Family (Stargate SG-1)|Family]]" to prevent Goa'uld influence on their life. Drey'auc marries Teal'c's childhood friend, Frotak, but Rya'c and Drey'auc leave Chulak to live in the Land of Light (from season 1's "[[The Broca Divide]]") soon after Frotak's death in "Family". Teal'c rekindles his feelings with a Tuk'ac temple priestess named Shau'nac in season 4's "[[Crossroads (Stargate SG-1)|Crossroads]]", but she is murdered soon thereafter. Drey'auc dies in a rebel Jaffa camp in season 6's "[[Redemption (Stargate SG-1)|Redemption]]" after refusing a new larval symbiote. Teal'c begins a relationship with the [[Hak'tyl]] leader [[Ishta (Stargate)|Ishta]] in season 7's "[[Birthright (Stargate SG-1)|Birthright]]". He continues this relationship until at least season 8's "[[Sacrifices (Stargate SG-1)|Sacrifices]]", where Rya'c also marries Kar'yn, a student of Ishta. Teal'c would also have a brief relationship with his neighbor, Krista.

O'Neill is suspicious of aliens in general except of Teal'c.<ref name=tvzones46_4>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Richard Dean Anderson &ndash; Mr Anderson &ndash; Colonel O'Neill |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 46 |pages=4&ndash;9 |date=July 2002}}</ref> At the beginning of the series, Hammond does not accept Teal'c but comes to trust and respect him after realizing Teal'c's devotion to the Stargate Program.<ref name=tvzones46_30>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Don S.

The writers at first wanted to establish animosity between Teal'c and Daniel, particularly since Teal'c is indirectly responsible for the abduction of Daniel's wife Sha're, who was subsequent selected as a host for the Goa'uld Amaunet by Teal'c's then-master Apophis. "Forever in a Day" almost tries to flesh out this animosity. Judge and Michael Shanks, in real life best friends, protested, as they thought that Daniel would be fascinated by Teal'c's background, and Teal'c would be quite respectful to humans who have similar nobility despite behaving in a different manner. The producers eventually allowed the actors to show how much their characters care about and respect each other, although the characters may not get on with one another.<ref name=tvzones55_20>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Michael Shanks & Christopher Judge &ndash; The Buddy System |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 46 |pages=20&ndash;25 |date=February 2004}}</ref>

For most of the run of ''SG-1'', Teal'c is the only SG-1 member who is not from Earth. With the introduction of the human alien [[Jonas Quinn]] in season 6, the writers developed a relationship between the two aliens of the team "without making it seem exclusionary", and Teal'c is no longer the "Other" of the show.<ref name=approaching_64>{{cite book | last = Storm | first = Jo | title = Approaching the Possible: The World of Stargate SG-1 | publisher = ECW Press | location = Toronto, Canada | year = 2005 | page = 64 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=T196lU-jXI8C | isbn = 1-55022-705-X }}</ref> Teal'c and Jonas end up bonding because they have similar backgrounds.<ref name=tvzones46_22>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Corin Nemec &ndash; Jonas Quinn |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 46 |pages=22&ndash;26 |date=July 2002}}</ref> Christopher Judge explained that his character's amusement with Vala in seasons 9 and 10 contributed to Teal'c's loosening up.<ref name=tvzones71_24>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven |title=Actor Christopher Judge &ndash; Out Of The Box |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 74 |pages=24&ndash;27 |date=July 2006}}</ref>

When Cameron Mitchell is introduced in season 9, Teal'c first reacts taken aback to Mitchell's enthusiasm, being more used to O'Neill's reserved attitude.<ref name=tvzones67_30>{{Cite journal |last=Eramo |first=Steven | title=Amanda Tapping &ndash; Coming Home |journal=[[TV Zone]] |issue=Special 67 |pages=30&ndash;33 |date=December 2005}}</ref> Teal'c is unsure if he likes Mitchell at first, but Mitchell forces Teal'c to interact with him.
