That's just insane IMO.
Oh, the days of XF. Those wars between the shipper's and the no-romo's were so funny.
Anyway, I have more confidence in Sparky. Anything is possible but I'll ride as long as I can.

Ah, cliffhangers.....
I've got a love/hate relationship with cliffhangers. Since Seige 1 was my first eppy and I dreaded the TBC part, it led me to Gateworld and you lovely people. The other plus was the steep learning curve I needed for computer-speak. Hopefully next season I can progress to video-making. Still can't photoshop. My daughter made my new sig in honour of Season 3, and she's not even a Stargate fan. MY kids humour my little obsession.*Luffs my kids*
The hate bit? Obviously having to wait for the next episode to be screened.
So far all the ships I've gone for have sunk in one way or another. S/J, Grissom and the other one, HP and the other one, M/S (because I just lost interest in the end). Please let me have one ship that sails...please, please, please?

S/J isn't sunk, godammit!! I still have hope
I don't actually mind if John and Elizabeth never make canon. They'll still have an interesting connection. The only thing that can take that away is if TPTB stop writing them scenes together, and as they're both leaders of Atlantis - and the principle characters - I don't see that happening.
Besides, there's nothing to say that once a pairing is canon they're going to live Happily Ever After. Look at Buffy; out of the original characters, she had long term relationships with both Angel and Spike, and then there was Riley who was brought in for season 5 IIRC. The Buffy/Spike shippers may have waited seven (?) years for their ship to come in but it wasn't any less powerful or meaningful than Buffy/Angel.
So no matter what happens, I'm happy

I'm going to randomly pop in and say that something that really annoyed me was that the fact that TPTB threw in the whole "Sheppard cares for you, Teyla..." line really, really, really, pissed me off. It was a Sheppard/Weir ship episode but then they throw in that irksome Sheppard/Teyla ship moment. It annoys me to this day.

Yippee! The cables back! And looking clearer than before if I might add. Which means I'll get to see all the sparky goodness in beautiful clarity on my 13 inch screen. *glares at anyone who even snickers* Someday, I'll get a bigger one. A panel TV if I can swing it. Sigh. Bless that wonderful cable man. So, I'm all set for tomorrow night. Yeehaw!

Forgive a newbie for popping in like this, but I've been lurking for ages and read the previous pages of this thread. I finally got pulled in. Let me say, too, that I still have hope for John and Elizabeth. Whether they become canon or not, my Fridays are complete just to see them together. Sparky scenes are more preferred though for a good squee.sigpic

Originally posted by lissa1000I was wondering if the ship wars of other fandoms are as bad as Sparky vs Sheyla. I was thinking it might be worse here because tptb have teased us with both ships, but I don't have a lot of experience with fandoms, so I don't know. I hope this isn't off-topic. I'll delete it if it is.
Other fandoms, however... FP mentioned what's probably the highest-drama fandom of them all: Harry Potter. That fandom has some of the craziest ship wars you'll ever see. The craziest fangirl problems I've ever come across were in Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars has the "canon war" on perpetual simmer. And X-Files, as someone else mentioned, had massive, massive battles, one of which culminated in an attempt to break into the Vancouver studio and vandalize other fans in the process.
So... yeah. I honestly think we're really lucky in this fandom.
In other news, there are some new pictures up at SciFi's site available here. Haven't looked through all of them yet, but hopefully we'll be getting these in high-res soon.
EDIT: Ruined_puzzle beat me to it! But yeah, very cute picture there, along with some episode stills that haven't been released before. There's a cute one that showcases the lack of personal space. Either that or the people on the other sides of them smell funny.Last edited by Melyanna; 13 July 2006, 06:26 PM.Mirror, Mirror: Melyanna's multi-fandom fic site

Thanks for the great pics and links Puzzle and Mel. Those Skiffy pics are nice. I remember how we had the "triangle" discussion ages back, but one of the new pics looks almost exactly like the Shep/Weir/Teyla pic from last year.
Here is the new one:
