Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Reiko]

Joe Flanigan once again proves how smart he is. This man has brains. Anyone who loves John's character should go have a watch.

And yes, it can be connected to Sparky.

Not only proving how smart he is, but why he should be running Stargate instead of TPTW.

The hero's journey. Including finding and losing the love of his life, and the hope that he might find her again. Coming full circle, indeed. Sparky for the win.

True, and that bit was at his very first con, I believe.

It will make you feel better. It's all about heroes and circles and coming home changed. Flanigan FTW!

I remember squeeing my head off at those bolded bits when I first read the book, too. That was some tasty Sparky awesomesauce.

I flailed during Casualties, but I flailed more in Mirror, Mirror. Talk about Sparky awesomeness!!!

Hee. One of the first things I noticed about him was his good vocabulary. I guess I was used to actors sounding like they didn't have two brain cells to rub together. Joe was a refreshing surprise. OMG! I admire him for his mind.

SMART IS SEXY. I love discovering my favorite actors are intelligent. I think there is a stigma that actors aren't, for some reason, but generally I think to be a good actor you need to be intelligent. I think a wide variety of people can 'act', but those who are intelligent are the ones whose performances truly shine through.

i just watch the video i did see some hint of sparky even if he didnt meant to be interepted that way.

[Reiko]

Awww LOVE your sig there Reiko... Within Temptation fan as well???

Yep. That's actually one of the older signatures. Mods thought my other ones were too big.

I'll transcribe it in a sec.

[Reiko]

Here you go. It's better when you hear him say it though.

"What you got is a circle, and the circle is the most universal symbol(?), and the most universal aspect is that a hero travels from his world outside into a foreign, unknown world. And he comes back as a changed person [inaudible], and I think every episode is like that. It follows one of the most tried and true paradigms of drama for storytelling, with the symbol of the circle, entering through the circle, going to a different world, being transformed by the world, coming back to our world, and being different as a result. Hopefully better, sometimes for the worse, but that is the heroic journey, and I think they have those elements and that is its lasting quality. As far as it's legacy, that's a good question. I couldn't even begin to answer that, but I think it's lasting quality is those elements. So, it's a classic universal paradigm."

Remember that he was a writer. So he understands storytelling. No wonder he was so frustrated later on.

He was a writer? That explained a lot.

Hello darlings. Here is your tired and sick sparky friend. No fever any more, but I'm still sore all over.
