Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[astronomicalchick]

Yeah, the addition of Ronon was really made me warm to the character. I was just chatting about this with someone else, and she expressed her continual amazement on my 180 on Teyla. Last season I was so irritated by her that I really wouldn't have minded if they got rid of her – and was thinking they actually might – but this season they've allowed her to interact with people other than Sheppard. Letting her interact more with McKay, Beckett, and Ronon has made her so much more accessible and likable. She's shown warmth and humor now that rarely came up in the first season.

I'm with Mel here, all I could see for Teyla last year was this very stiff character who was just wheeled out for anvil ship moments and for her lack of dress. I really didn't like her at all and I was quite vocerifious in my complaints (and that's spelt wrong but WTF) about her.

This year, what a difference! She's open, she smiles, she's friendly, she's got a sense of humour. It's like the writers got stuck with her, couldn't find a way to develop her but the introduction of Ronon acted as a bridge for them to open up her character (this just reinforces my theory that PTB can't do women). It's a shame it took the introduction of a male to do that (it does nothing to help misognist notions), but at least I actually like her now. And I'd really like PTB to develop her relationship with Weir, some girly chat over a cup of Athosian tea after a yoga spell where they giggle their way through some gossip about Sheppard's kirking. It would be great!

I had to delurk...

Personally, I think tptb were giving Rachel a chance to get used to her new job, and to adjust to a very steep learning curve. Now she's coming into her own and the writers are having fun with the character.

Oh, now that's a fun little tidbit. How is the novelization, by the way? I've always heard good things about Sally Malcolm's SG-1 fics (I believe she writes under the name Sally Reeve), but never got around to reading any of them.

I wondered if it might be her. Wow. I highly recommend her fic - she's one of the best.

Btw - congrats on the number of posts. You guys are awesome.

Time for me to go back to lurking.

Sally Reeves is the only fanfic writer that's kept me up to 2 am!

I've finally watched Inferno and

Spoiler:

Atlantis novelization? Hey I didn't know! *off to search for the book*

Me too!!

Spoiler:

Liked Inferno. Didn't care for the kirking, but at times thought it was actually pretty funny how Rodney and John were kinda competing. Anyway we all know Elizabeth is his one and only . So no worries!!!!!

As for the book, I'm only a few chapters into it, but so far I can tell its definitly worth the read!!!!!!

Wohooo my 300th post!!!! And at my fav thread!!!!!! Long live the Sparks Everyone / !!!!!!!

Spoiler:

Do you think it was Shep kirking? I didn't think so... well, maybe a tiny bit John seemed annoyed by her because she liked McKay! So it was prolly McKay kirking lol but hey, at least we got the office scene!
I couldn't help but notice *AGAIN * how comfortable our sparkys are with each other. It's not even a leader-leader relationship. They're waaay to giggly and flirty for that.
I love Elizabeth's expressions during "Smittin'?" and "Hot?" lol! She's so funny and John's reaction is awesome too!!
I noticed how she held her breath again when she ran up to John. I think she realized that she did it too fast. It seemed like she didn't want to let him go from her sight! Then she stopped really quickly, that loving look in her eyes... *squee!*

Spoiler:

There's a tiny bit of kirking, at least in the beginning when he came back, I don't think it was only to keep watch on Rodney.
They were so flirting in the office!!
And when she went on their balcony I don't think it was only to watch the sky, she wanted some time alone to think about John.

yeah, my 200th post and on my favourite thread!

Congrats on 300 k8tbug1!

Edit: and on 200 Vicky!!

[Vicky]

Thanks!

And because I'm on a pic mood:

John: Liz, you know how I love when you say those kind of things to me but I'm not alone in that jumper
Elizabeth: Oops!
Teyla: *thinking* omg


Sorry but it was too tempting!

LOL.

I don't think I really have anything to say right at the moment, but I wanted to make a post before I went off into the world of schoolwork and no computers all day. I wish I could spend more time here, but it's just not possible. Oh, well, it's no use.

I'd post a screencap, but I'm not on my computer right now, so I can't get to any of them.

Oh, BTW, is has Inferno been played in the US yet? Sometimes I have trouble remembering the names of episodes, and I'm probably wrong. *goes off to read episode lists*

And there's a novelization of Rising? Ooooh, that's gotten 'christmas money' written all over it.

Anyway, must leave again.*tear* Go Sparky! /

[Vicky]

Inferno has been played yesterday night in Canada. For US, you still have to wait since it's the second to last ep of the season and last ep on Sci-Fi was Critical Mas, the 13th.

[FoolishPleasure]

Inferno again. .

Spoiler:

why does there have to be any kirking at all? We have ANOTHER hot chick - so she wants Rodney this time. Anyone else tired of HOT ALIEN CHICKS in general? I just want to throw things at the TV screen lately. And Shep flirts with her because she likes Rodney? WTF??? How old is Shep? My patience with his character wears thin these days. Or else I'm taking too much Nyquil today.
