Sometimes I feel like I'm in bizarro universe b/c Sparky already seems canon to me.
Spoiler:
In TRW, John breaks quarantine risking his life impulsively to try to just touch Elizabeth and tell her to keep fighting. Not Carson. Not Rodney. The team has no idea what exactly Elizabeth is experienceing. John has no cool technical plan to rescue. His couldn't contain his strong feelings for her and finally gives in to them in order to touch her and speak to her. It's like Sleeping Beauty with John as the prince. Also, who does Elizabeth see in her hallucination to help her but John himself. I think she trusts him more than any other Atlantis person. For a Sci-Fi show, wouldn't one expect some neat technological solution, but it's John's love that saves Elizabeth from the nanites.
Re: Real World Part 1, great analysis Southern Red. It's Elizabeth who pulls away from John and he doesn't know how to cope with that. She ignores his phone calls and emails. He has a hard time expressing his feelings and probably thinks she's not interested in him. Seriously, if TPTB want the audience to think there's nothing between John and Elizabeth, why throw in all that stuff about Elizabeth being in a minor depression and isolating herself. They could have had her back at Georgetown or a university in Colorado teaching to indicate that John and Elizabeth are basically only friends when they all reunite. It's a deliberate roadblock so that they can show ship development later on. All TPTB are men and they probably identify more with John than Elizabeth. Approaching a beautiful, accomplished woman like Elizabeth is not an easy thing to do, even for a hero like John.

I'm fyd, and thanks to Dia Dahling's constant prodding, I am finally coming out of my who-knows-how-long lurk here. I'm a Sparky fan, which I was originally a fan of, but my sig says what I'm also loyal to. 
I love looking at Sparky art, vids, and fanfics. I also love writing, and am tempted to try a vid. Maybe.

That's just the way I see it too! I think its why this pairing works so much for me. I don't have to overanalyse it to see it. It doesn't seem forced and I think that its so much about the chemistry between the actors: where their eyes are, the subtle changes in their faces. But then there are the moments that surely must come from TPTB, such as in TRW and Echoes, that could've been done a different way. Maybe that's just me grasping, hoping that if the TPTB are supportive of it that aren't about to destroy it all. I will join you in your apprehension about Sunday. I am really apprehensive about that one.
