Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[LurkerLa]

Well, that's pretty much all

Spoiler:

The Tower has going for it..Sheppard being a babe magnet. He's also presented as stupid (which he isn't) and superficial, the entire plot stinks, and just a bit insulting to those of us who live under a monarchy. I choose to ignore the whole episode altogther..it's an aberration, a bad dream. Elizabeth will wake up and John will be in the shower and she'll say 'I had the wierdest dream'

Shades of Dallas... it was Dallas right?

Eek! OT - sorry.

Finally saw "Grace Under Pressure" and like it quite a lot - mainly for McKay. . and the "sparks".

Disappointed in Skiffy's blurb for next week. . "Babe Magnet"? Sorry, I don't think I'm even going to watch.

Yep, Dallas. And SGA is capable of being so much more. They've got an adult, intelligent, fascinating, thrilling, loving, deep relationship right there, waiting to be explored, with John and Elizabeth. Why waste screen time on bimbo's?

(see, dragged it back on topic)

I think they did that on Family Guy, too.

Yeah Grace Under Pressure was fabulous. McKay was just hilarious and those sparks sooo gave away who those lurkers are! haha.

WTF?

Spoiler:

It ended when Rodney got on the jumper and the door closed! Fade to black then the "babe magnet" coming attractions!

I thought I was nuts, so I asked my son and he said the same thing. Anyone else lose that last scene?

michelleb is referring to the ending scene next week - saying that all that's worth watching of next week's episode is the ending scene.

And it is a cute ending scene.

LMAO!!!!!!! no no dearie!!!!!!!

It was just so shallow. I mean as if I couldn't have figured out he was hot and a babe magnet already.
I need a faster way to get to the eyerolling smiley tonight.

Exactly... tell us something we DON'T already know. :rollseyes:

But at least Michael, Critical Mass, Coup d'etat and Inferno are decent episodes... and shows Sheppard as the caring, sometimes ruthless but driven person that we remember him to be from S1.

Regarding Inferno

Spoiler:

I didn't mind a bit of harmless flirtation but I suspect that some of it was about egging Rodney on. Good to see some of that natural Sheppard cunning in action anyway.

[Bama]

And of course we get from the preview

Spoiler:

naked back of prom queen and Shep's line "I never see these things coming." And a scene where he's groped under the table with those lines mixed in.

ETA: I think I need to go back and watch tonight's ep. and rewatch the sparky scene. Heck the whole ep.

LOL!

Spoiler:

Glad to know I wasn't the only one rolling my eyes at the Shep 'babe magnet' selling that was going on in the promo. The shot of shep oogling the 16 year old prom queen was enough to make me wretch. And people wonder why some of us are fed up with the entire used and tired 'yet *another* girl drops her drawers for sheppy babe magnet' sub plots?

Geesh.

I love-adore-Shep and his potential. He's cute, funny, intelligent and sharp. Those are the 'parts' that they need to market to sell the program to the audiences. While the 'babe magnet' sell may raise interests short-term, it's not doing Shep's character any favors long-term.

yeah i thought that was ok.... brother like relationshiop there!!!!!

*Hugs Bama* Good to see you again!

Even my teen son gagged at that "Babe Magnet" promo. Do they really think fans enjoy seeing Sheppard portrayed like that?
