Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[xkawaiix]

Ah, don't mind those linguistically challenged, transported yankees! Everyone in their right mind knows a "sack" is what things go into! And I shouldn't even have to tell you guys how this post is totally on topic in relation to John and Elizabeth.

Of course we know it is! Even if it's very unPG thoughts.

Well, I was thinking totally 'G' thoughts about how he put her Birthday present in a 'sack'...but if you guys insist on thinking in other directions...well...I certainly won't be held responsible...

Actually honey, if you're from the deep south as I am, it's neither. When you ask for a soft drink down this 'a way you ask for 'Coke' and then you're asked, 'What kind?'

I'm actually a California transplant, so I still say, "soda". My hub says "Coke" though - he's a good Southern Boy.

"Sack"

I totally missed that possible touching thing! I gotta go back and watch again!

Oh, dear lord, when I lived in Florida, that was the bane of my existence. I remember the first time I went to a night party at the Magic Kingdom and asked for a Coke (meaning a Coke) and being asked, "Sure! What kind?" *insert blank stare here* "...a Coke?" Being a Seattleite, I call it "pop," but I get solidly laughed at for that here in SoCal.

[wizengamot]

haha being from the midwest I say "pop" but since I moved out east everyone is like "wtf?"

touch? I suppose its spoilery but not at all and since most people are posting pics except IT I will post it and take it down if anyones offended but its "the touch that may or may not have been seen around the world" Im inclined to say yah b/c he looks down as he moves forward.

You know what the crazy thing about the soda/pop/Coke conversation is? We've had it at least once before in this thread.

My two cents: lived long enough in the South that I still call everything carbonated Coke. My friends now in Chicago think I'm crazy when I say I ask what kind of Coke they want.

Anyway. Good observations, Bama, on Elizabeth and touch. When I get around to the vid I mentioned yesterday, I may PM you for some input on scenes to use. (What, you people expect me to come up with seven minutes of footage on my own? )

[Blue Banrigh]

*turns around* Wait... when did this thread pass 16,000? Holy Crap, I could have sworn we were in the lower 15,000 last week.

[Tracy Jane]

Well, I don't say any of that soda / pop / coke stuff. Unless I want cream soda or coke I alsk for a fizzy drink, or a soft drink. I tend to ask for a can of fizzy.

I knew the whole coke/soda/pop convo popped up once before. I was having some deja vu moments.

Good to know I'm not going insane. I guess it just shows some of us have been hanging in this thread for a long time.

I think you can blame the "TLG" spoilers for the sudden jump in posts over the last week.

So if "TLG" spoilers can get us to post that much and nearly kill GW. Imagine when the episode airs. KABOOM!

[Tracy Jane]

I think the server will collapse. Again.

As for Elizabeth and John 'accidentally' touching...I'm convinced by her reactions when he's close or lightly touching her that those tinny things really effect her but it's odd that she allows them to only with him. Elizabeth seems rather affectionate. She pats beckett and rodney on the back or arm but only with john do you literally see her *react* to proximity or touch. I like watching her face when he does those little things. There's a subtle but still noticable reaction.

Bama, I was just about to respond to the whole "coke what kind issue". I am from the deep south too. **hugs to my southern friend** When I got to the north, I could not understand what soda/pop was. LOL

[xfkirsten]

Okay, just watched GUP again, and

Spoiler:

I'm afraid I didn't see where y'all were talking about touching... it seemed like he was just standing too far away from her to reach across without it being blatantly obvious (lots of shoulder movement).

You silly goose! It's sooo soda!

Not Alone, chapter 2
This fabulous fic looks like it's turned into a WIP. Author's looking for ideas, so go read, review and leave ideas

When i hear 'Coke' i think of the white chalky stuff. Could be a sign it's time to move
