Elizabeth Weir/Torri Higginson WOW Thread - Part 2

[Trialia]

I think the ones for Phantoms are the newest, because they had The Return pics as ep 309.

But those were already there last time I visited the site... so I guess there's nothing new for me.

[SapphireJewelledQueen]

In the john_elizabeth LJ comm it says there are new Promo pics yet the promo pics are old and they don't even have the other 10 I'm confused

There are some new ones for Misbegotten, but none of Lizzeh

*Waves* I'm here too.

Yeah, the photos look very similar. Still, I like the ensemble ones. They haven't been air-brushed out of recognition like some other photos.

Also, ditto to what Ubi and Trialia said about Elizabeth Weir as a compelling character.
The fact that she is not a paragon of virtue who can never do anything wrong is what creates this empathy I have for certain characters. She makes decisions which may seem right at the time but may also have devastating consequences further down the road. Weir always set out with the best intentions that don't always pan out and on the surface she appears quite stoic but she is played by Torri as having a certain vulnerability. Kudos to TH for making Elizabeth 3-dimensional.

BTW, WELCOME NEWBIES and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to those who had them during the upgrade.

New pics? The what where? I don't see 'em.

There's two new ensemble ones (they're a higher res than the ones on Scifi, apparently), and five more up for Misbegotten. No Lizzie in the Misbegotten ones though.

No Lizzie? Oh well, then not so interested.

Can somebody help my addled little brain here?

Just re-read Garwin Sanford's interview (Simon), so was he or was he not Elizabeth's husband? I'm taking it to mean he started off being her husband but then TPTB changed their minds further down the track and just made him her boyfriend.

Here's part of the interview:

Spoiler:

GW: One of the big questions is was Simon Elizabeth's husband or just her boyfriend? Is that another -- do you know for sure which one he was because they never specifically say. And some of the producers have said "He is her husband."

GS: Yes, OK. If the producers have said it, so can I. In the first episode I was her husband. And in the second episode I was still her husband because it was a dream sequence --

GW: -- "Home" --

GS: -- Yeah, exactly, where they come back. Not a dream sequence, but the aliens give them the ability to live out their life as they would like to have happen. And I think they realized that they painted themselves into a bit of a corner with the character. What are they going to do with this guy? Are they going to take me and make me a regular on the series?

GW: Which would tie her down.

GS: Yeah, exactly. I just think they realized that it wasn't a good place to go. They saw where the show was headed and they realized, and I think they made the right choice for the show. It was a smart choice, unfortunately for me. When they brought me back they changed my name.

GW: Wallace.

GS: Yes. So the thing was, and I don't think in the first episodes they even had my last name on the credits. So they looked back and they decided. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. That's how you do shows. You look at them, you start something off, and then you realize "This isn't going to service us" about the storytelling. And as far as I'm concerned, that's always where you have to go.

[lizzyana]

I deliver just my opinion, I find that Simon and Elisabeth did not go
sets...
I find that Simon was one can old.Lol.For she.

I always just assumed they were de-facto partners, and had been together for ages and stuff, but weren't actually married.

I always thought that'd make the writing around their relation ship less complicated cause then in Intruder

Spoiler:

they wouldn't have to deal with a divorce and stuff... Just being safe

Oh, random question. Does anyone know what happened to Sedge after Intruder? Cause I would have thought

Spoiler:

Liz may have taken him back to Atlantis, but then at the same time it would have been difficult to do with a dog. If Sedge was a cat do you think she would have taken him? She could have taken Sedge and let him live on the main land with the Athosians, and visited him like every week. That's what I would have done...Just being safe...again

/me is rambling...


I like this pic, she's kinda... pouting...


Hmmm... I need to make more caps... Later

I has always thought that he was her boyfriend (/de facto sorta thing) all along. I never got the impression of him being her husband. Not to mention that it'd be kinda silly to have anyone who is particularly connected to anyone in such away going on a mission like that. But from the excerpt of the interview, my understanding is much the same as yours, Ronnikins.

Well I would think that Liz and Simon would still be friends, and seeing as how he's pretty much the only person close to her who knows about it and Sedge would stay with him. Much as it hurt her, I don't think it's something she'd blame him for, and I think he still cares for her, to a point. On the other hand, in TRW

Spoiler:

they showed Sedge with her mum so it's possible Sedge could stay with her.

Of course, the ideal thing would be for Sedge to come and live in Atlantis and follow Lizzie about all day. ^.^ And that would mean Rodney's cat would go too. And

Spoiler:

Carson's turtles, if they're still alive

Yeah, if they were married I don't think she would have gone off without telling him in person...

That's what I think should happen, cause if Sedge can follow her around the lot all day I'm sure he'd be fine in Atlantis.

Torri thinks the wraith are "kind of hot"

Just a clip from one of the DVD bonus features.. I love clips of Torri, she's so lively/funny.

Well, she has a point. Take away the life-sucky-ness and they are. I guess. That's why, in the urban rush interview, when she was describing hot aliens she said "long grey dreads"

She does have a point. They are. Those white flowy locks...it's just that horrible 'get too close and you're dead' thing.

Haha, I love that video. XDDD I made an icon out of it (file size is ok for Livejournal):

Like I could resist THAT quote. *lol*

[Trialia]

Argh, I really must figure out this video lark. The list of songs that beg for Atlantis music videos is mounting up.
