The Atlantis Shipper Thread

[Kip_Cathey_Furlings_are_Cats]

I was told to move my shippyness somewhere else, so here it is.

Does anyone else see the ship between McKay and Dr. Weir? Or is it just me?

Ok, then thats it.

[Ancient-Jaron]

I don't, honestly.

But maybe thats cause the Shepard and Weir ship got in the way...

I personally don’t watch the show for ship although I see where you are coming from Mackay does have hots for Dr Weir you can tell when they talk to each other.

[Wass]

oh By the way why don't you rename this thread to Mackay/weir shipper thread it would be more appropriate.

i do.. course i do... proof enough in my fics course I also support the shep/teyla ship as well... yuppers.. you're not alone ya know that... the whole yahoo group that ya joined loves the McWeir pairing too

[Major Fischer]

I'm going to be very blunt here, so please no one take particular or personal offense.

A) The likely reason you were told to take your shipper talk elsewhere is because this forum contains a number of people with opinions on ship and there is an understanding between all parties that ship is a dividing subject and bringing it indescriminately into non-ship threads just begs for bad feelings.

B) No, I don't see any sparks at all between McKay and Weir. None at all. Zip. Zero. Nothing. Sorry. Similarly I think it's clear as of the midseason Atlantis episodes that they aren't persuing Sheppard/Teyla ship either. I find it particularly annoying when people combine character names. I certainly wouldn't be taken seriously if I went around talking about Cartneill or Sack and Jam.

C) I also would request that you change the title of this thread. There is already a significant Atlantis Shipper community, and they aren't going to be posting about Weir/McKay, I assure you.

The Major always says it best.

Well, it's named Atlantis shipper thread so all ships can come, not just McKay and Weir. That was just the first combo I remembered seeing.

If you dont like ship, or feel against any form of ship, maybe you shouldn't read a thread that clearly says 'shipper' in the title. Please don't go around knocking my opinions or anyone elses. We are all here to have an intelligent discussion, like the adults most of us are. No one should have to post some thing and have to worry about others hating it, or knocking it.

Go ahead and kill my rep points. See if I care. I'm here to post, and post I will.

[Major Fischer]

The problem is that shippers do not mix with each other. People who see one ship rarely have nice civil debates about combinations that they don't see.

I'm a Weir/Sheppard shipper. I started the thread. To borrow an expression of Mr. P's, I"m posting my colors to the mast right now. I honestly don't see how Sheppard/Teyla works, I don't see the chemistry, but I can see that more than I could possibly see Weir/McKay.

Now McKay/McKay makes sense. My bet is that the loveable little guy will be happiest with his own ego

[John&Teylaalltheway]

I am interested seeing Shephard/Teyla connecting romantically and possible McKay & Weir but my first priority is Shephard/Teyla and if possible do a Beckett/Teyla/Shephard triangle ...

You know, this is quite the possibility. McKay is way into himself, and I dont know that anyone can pull him free. Although, we have seen a softer, braver side of McKay since his debeut on SG-1. Maybe him fleshing out will allow for more than just himself.

As for Shep/Teyla, that seems more like a good freinds type connection. I dont see much in the way of romance, but it depends on TPTB in the end. I do, however, hold a candle, as those two could be good together, if the conditions were right.

I think what Major Fischer was trying to say is that this thread started with the title Atlantis Shipper Thread and then spoke about one ship combination. It annoyed me slightly (I'm a Weir/Shep shipper), but I decided just to let it be, knowing that we have our own thread on general discussion. I think that you might have stumbled into something you might not be aware of, that there is general high feelings around ship in Stargate. People generally don't like discussions about ship in non-ship specific threads, nor do different ship combinations tend to mix on the same thread.

I'm not knocking what you see, with regards to McKay/Weir, it's up to you... (see this post for my feelings about why people ship..http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost....&postcount=596). But perhaps you might be better setting up a distinct thread for McKay/Weir ship and then creating a place where you can play with it. Or if you want to have a debate about ship on Atlantis, create an Atlantis ship discussion thread, but it could get very heated so be warned!

I'm all for a heated discussion, so long as no one gets rude. I live to start a good topic, then see it cause people to look at others points of veiw.

I may be a Weir/McKay shipper, but I can see where the Shep/Weir shippers come from. I have seen a lot of scenes where they act like way more than freinds. Maybe I'm wrong in my ship, and I have no problem admiting that possibility. But I want to be able to see any ship, with equally open eyes, and the best way is with someone elses insight. Maybe they say an interaction I missed, or a quip from a charecter. All I know is, I want to learn about others opinions before I judge.

Well, I'm more of a Sheppard/Weir shipper and I seriously don't see anything between Weir and McKay more than the possibility of a very interesting friendship. I also see the makings of a ship in McKay/Teyla. Did anyone see any ship in that long look she gave him on, I think it was Underground, when he was eating the sandwich and drinking coffee during the briefing? I think they'd make a funny couple. Him so full of himself and all and she so stoic and realistic about him...

Anyway, that's what I see. Maybe also some Ford/Teyla...

I see it both with Sheppard and Teyla and mckay and weir. i show it in my fanfiction all the time i think they totally belong together

You are right, that look seemed very ship-worthy. Could be an interesting arc, Teyla and McKay.

And thats it from this stick in the mud.

I don't really know why people freak out about ship. It's just for fun, so let people see relationships whereever they want to if it increases their enjoyment of the series. I don't see very much ship in Atlantis, but I'm not going to chastise someone who does.

Personally, I've seen more Sheppard/McKay moments than Weir/McKay moments!

actually, that could really work... think I'll be a Tey'la/Mckay shipper, nice mix...


What is that McTey? Tey'kay? Tey'mc? Mc'La?

I think it's okay when it's left covert so that people can read what they like into it, but it's when it becomes obvious, then ship wars start, at least as far as I can see...
