Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Erised]

But then, he says he's had enough and isn't watching the rest of the season.

noooo the rest of the season is awesome!

I'm just forgetting I ever saw this episode. On to next week!

yeah forget this ep...every show has a really bad one. The Long Goodbye was awesome you both will love it!

There was a subplot? Rats. Sometimes the subplots should be the main plots.

Yup. Elizabeth had some sort of political/diplomatic thing going in this episode when the casting sides were put out.

(Epiphany also had a radical departure from the initial concept of the episode – namely, the flashbacks to the Afghanistan incident, when Sheppard got the black mark on his record.)

Of course, if you give me a choice between babe of the week and politics and/or character development, I'll take the politics and/or character development any day of the week. Compounding the babe of the week with the aforementioned agrarians with tech plot just makes it worse for me – they're my least favorite sci-fi plots, and Atlantis has managed to stick them together in two episodes so far. Makes me cranky.

Definately, the rest of the season is much much much better. Besides next week "The Long Goodbye"!!

I'd go for character development over airhead of the week as well, but that's just me.

On a random note: This whole week everytime the Promo for "The Tower" aired, my dad would switch channels or turn off the TV. And I haven't told him about my dislike for the episode. At first I thought it was a coincidence that he switched the channel on the add, but he did it again a few hours later. It just amused me.

Even though I've seen "TLG" already, I'm excited to see it again.

I was so annoyed that Elizabeth had like a total of 5 minutes in this episode!!

Considering the episode's quality and ability to make characters act annoying, I think that's a good thing.

Spoiler:

Well, it contained the kiss. Made it pretty clear that it was alien-induced, but I'm still terribly amused that they're using this kiss in promos.

No kidding! I don't even know how many times I looped a couple scenes over and over again. And I'm still giddy thinking about it airing next week.

TLG is definately one of my favorites for this season.
