Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Bama]

I smell Shep Angst!

He will truly DIE if something dangerously serious ever does happen to her in his presence. That stubborn, blind man loves her whether he will admit it to himself or not. *kicks Shep in the rump*

I think the phrase "you don't know whatcha got till it's gone" may apply here.

Did you all notice:

Spoiler:

that in the beginning when she fainted, yes, Caldwell and Shep caught her. BUT Shep's eyes never left her. Caldwell turned back to look behind him, but Shep's eyes were full of concern for her and never left her.

Shippy sigh.....

Hehe, that was the first thing I noticed when someone did the caps for that scene.... OH GOD THE AGONY of having to wait... blammit. YAY for TLG.

That and:

Spoiler:

when she goes to smooch him, John/Thalan, whoever the hell it is at that moment, TOTALLY puckers up

hehe... don't deny it. Even the AU ppl see it... Oh, and go for all his amusement. He's almost as shippy as

Their reactions (the three of them) were pure gold, and now we know our dear Rodneykins is a shipper .

Since this is the shippy thread, I'll lay my focus on that. In my typical drive-by fashion, I noticed two things (the kiss aside):

Spoiler:

1. The line to Teyla about John caring more than she knows. I do believe it was directed at Teyla...for self-preservation. He knew full well she was going to shoot him. Actually, both women would have one way or the other. It was a last ditch plea, that's all. (That and the fact that Teyla really would have shot him. hello!)

2. The end in the infirmary I was very surprised Caldwell teased them about the kiss. And the fact that Sheppard and Weir merely tossed a glance at each other and nodded and ended it right there. Here's what I noticed: there was no apology from either one. Unlike "Conversion" where Sheppard feels bad for molesting Teyla, neither John nor Elizabeth feel bad about this one. It made me giggle. The absence of any kind of further conversation gives me hope. Maybe it'll go on festering until they can't stand it anymore and have to resolve it. Better.

Well...then *spork* YOU! Get outta my way you wench! I gave Sheppy the 'booboo' and I'll kiss it better! Who do you think you are-the prom queen?!

Oh, I <3 him and all his egomanical ravings Plus he thinks like I do: "Where's the food?"

Well...then *spork* YOU! Get outta my way you wench! I gave Sheppy the 'booboo' and I'll kiss it better! Who do you think you are-the prom queen?!

Oh, hun I luv that Southern Fried humour y'all got goin' on yonder.

Really good Sparky tonight! *clapping*

As for the

Spoiler:

Teyla talk - did that mean anything? Uh,nope. Earlier in the Episode he conned Ronon into thinking he was really Sheppard to get him to help find Elizabeth. When he was tied up, he still wasn't Sheppard, and was just conning Teyla to keep from killing him. It wasn't Sheppard until he did the convulsing bit.

Besides, I saw the latest Rachel interview and

Spoiler:

she pretty much squelched Sheyla in favor of Ronon.

Yeah, that's my assessment. In a minute, I'm going to repost something I posted at LJ when the episode aired in Canada – I don't think I posted it here, but it probably bears repeating.

Well, given the choice... wouldn't you?

EDIT: Holy crap, I screwed up the markups.

Spoiler:

I agree with both points. If Thalan didn't have such a track record for lying through out this episode, I might have believed him. That and if the scene played out differently.

Another interesting point that I pointed out before was when John and Caldwell mentioned most of the things that Phoebus did while in Elizabeth's body she made an "OMG, that wasn't me! Don't believe her" outburst. That is, until they brought up the kiss. She was almost completely silent.

Oh and btw, spoiler tags are [ spoiler ]text[ / spoiler ] without the spaces.

Ahhhh...yes, FP...let's 'talk' of the 'red herring'. It's like they can't quite bring themselves to let go of the rope quite yet because now they've decided that the hint of something other than the obvious logical path they've brought us down brings dada! More Drama!! TPB: Now...watch closely audience...Whoops, is it *this way* or *that way*? LOL! *sporks tptb and trashes the illogical little 'game' they want us to buy into* And NOPE, like you, I refuse to buy the fool's gold they want me to buy. You throw out *everything* AU in the past and in this ep and just look at the real stuff and it all adds up to one sum: S+W=yes
