That's truly beautiful. I need to abandon the angst and do a pretty one.

5. They're pesky and hard to kill.

THANK YOU!!! I'm so glad someone other than me remembers it! It's funny, because it was actually my hubby (who is six years younger than I am ) who remembered the name of the show....

Thank you so much...it was truly a labor of love, but now that I've figured things out a little I'm ready to start making more!

I love the combination of Google and youtube...helps you find just about anything! you're not old, just more experienced than some of the rest of us!

That song is great!

*pops in* College is going to be the death of me I swear!

You know let's just say *somehow* she got clearance. Like maybe years later the Stargate goes public or something like that. I can so see John going to tell her Mom and even though it's been years his voice still breaks and her Mom goes "You loved her don't you?" And he says "I still do" and then she goes "I thought so. I can see the pain in your eyes" *sniffles*

*kicks college's butt for RA* *hugs* you'll make...I know you will!

....aw....that would be an angsty/sweet story....*hint hint*

*huggles* Thanks I had to do a video for my English class (I have to make apostrophes "fun and informative" )

And maybe

*joins in the sniffling*

Why yes, yes it would...

Hmm, like the old "Schoolhouse Rock" animated shorts? Ah, memories.

Uh...that's sort of the fic I've been working on. When is angst day again?

Conjunction Junction! How a Bill Becomes a Bill! Electric Company! *runs around squeeing in nostalgia*

Well, if we're right about their ages, they'd have been kids in the 70s, sooo...

I don't remember that one, either, sorry.

Awwwwwww! I was all set to do the grand reveal of Kidd Video! I loved that show! Actually, I have about twelve episodes on VHS that I seriously need to convert to DVD before the tape goes bad, because it's about twenty years old.

sorry I ruined your reveal.... But I'm really glad I'm not the only person who remembers that show! I was starting to think that I was losing my mind!
*iz jealous* I wish I had recordings......

I wish fans would start jabbering about getting it on DVD. It didn't run for very long, but it was a fun show, and it had music videos at the end. Kidd and Carla were sort of my original OTP.

Point me in the right direction and I'll jabber til the cows come home! I LOVED that show! and my kids are crazy music fanatics, they'd get a huge kick out of it!

A fan of muse...In my arms.
I had a big problem for my ticket because the store had made a mistake. No ticket for me even if I had already pay for it. I was so angry that I scared the saleswoman who has finally found a solution.LOL
22 november will be a great and beautiful day.

New question.
How would you have wanted to see Elizabeth and John at the end of the show?
-Happy end: They're alive. They are together and happy.
-Stupid end: Don't read this drew because it's a reference to an episode.

Spoiler:

Elizabeth is floating in space and John is alone or with his buddy Todd. lol

-Angst end: Elizabeth and John tell their feelings to each other but they still can't be together.
-Sad end: Everybody dies.
-Humor end: John and Elizabeth go to the office of the writers and kick them.

You don't have to choose one of them. It's just some stupid example.
My mom wants a "happy ending". Poor her. She doesn't see the season 5.lol
I prefer an "angst end". They know that they care for each other but they can't be together. Elizabeth is still a replicator so a threat and she's rejected or an other thing. I can't find a good idea.lol I'm not a fan of happy ending. Maybe for this that I like Joss Whedon. Never a happy end with him.lol

As far as I'm concerned we got an angsty ending with GitM. The number of non-shippers who agree is proof of that.

I would like for them to have found her, brought her back and given her a job in Atlantis other than leader. Then in the movie (ha) they could have gotten them together.

I don't think anybody would really quibble with a 'happy ending' for a ship, but the question is whether it's realistic for the show. The way the characters were written, I don't think John and Elizabeth would suddenly have declared their love for each other and been all squishy happy on the balcony.

I agree with SR, I think we got angsty with GITM. I consider GITM to be very West Side Story, with John playing the role of Maria, especially after the rest of S5 and his being alone in EATG. *LOL* Honestly, our ship was one of the few with an 'open' ending at the end of the series. Everyone else had someone at the end of the series, except John--and Elizabeth is floating out there, capable of being rescued and remade organic, or her real body found, etc. The storyline isn't difficult to come up with and it doesn't require 'breaking up' couples or families. It's kinda 'one step away' though I have no faith we'll ever get that final step of 'getting Elizabeth back' other than in fanfiction.

As far as my own personal feelings, I would have been content with a mirror of the end of "Rising", though--so long as they were together, I wouldn't need declarations of love. Torri and Joe played John and Elizabeth as so comfortably compatible with each other throughout the series that I would have taken it as a sailed ship if we saw them talking about the future of Atlantis and still getting into trouble.
