Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Yusagi]

Our World

Then I'd maintain that their similar (yet opposite) career paths would eventually lead them to meet one another. Wherever John's ability to shoot people came in handy, so would Elizabeth's ability to convince people not to shoot.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

i'm sure John in our world would probably be over seas right now fighting in afghanistan.

[Yusagi]

And Elizabeth would be all over that, working to soothe things. Alternatively, he might be stuck in McMurdo.

[Scary Kitty]

Oh, no. It's a panfandom game, so he quite literally vanished from the island. The same with Carson and Teyla and Zelenka and Ford. (Ronon, too, but he came back XD) It's quite an interesting dynamic, though. Elizabeth has been stuck on a strange island for a year, where people appear and disappear at random. She knows she can't go 'home', because she's been taken from after she became a Replicator (in fact, in a plot where everyone visited home, she was left behind), so she's made her peace that the circle of huts they have, 'New Atlantis' is all of the home she'll have, and hopes to see familiar faces show up again.

Awwww! That's just too sad and unfair! Poor Lizzie!

I don't think any Sparky was every officially 'scripted'. I think the boys who wrote it were clueless as to how it would look on-screen. In my fictitious mind it's something like:

Spoiler:

Gero: Hmm...let's see...I gotta lot of action with this big storm, the Genii-people are good bad guys...but I need more drama. MORE! What can we do?

BW: Uh, how about making Sheppard go super badass? We haven't really seen that yet.

RCC: Yeah, he's supposed to be special-ops or something.

Gero: Okay...sure. We'll have him take out the Genii, sniper-style, cuz that stuff's cool! One by one until he faces up with Kolya. I'll just write that in. *scribbles*

BW: WAIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT. We can just have him go all badass on them because they're there, that's not Sheppard. He's more sensitive than that.

RCC: Yeah.

Gero: Okay, so...we give him a reason.

BW: Well, his whole deal is the leave-no-man behind thing. We know Kolya's taking hostages, so what if he shoots the hostages? Kills off a few red shirts.

RCC: Nah, it has to be someone more important to really set him off.

Gero: Well, there's McKay...

RCC & BW: NO.

Gero: Okay, then there's Teyla...oh wait, I wanted her for the catfight at the end. Well, then, what about Weir?

BW: Yeah, that'll work, especially as she's anti-gun. Symbolism & parallelism and all that jazz.

Gero: GREAT! So, we'll kill off Weir.

BW & RCC: NO!

Gero: So...we'll pretend to kill off Weir?

BW: Yeah. Bluff her death. Have Sheppard go nuts over it cuz Kolya's killed one of his people.

Gero: I LOVE IT! And we can have this standoff moment at the end where he shoots Kolya to save her or something! DRAMATIC! And, uh, it'll be awesome to see Sheppard snap back to reality when he finds out she's alive.

BW: Sounds good.

RCC: Wait...this isn't going to be romantic or anything, is it?

Gero: What? No way. I am not into that idea for a ship! Leave it to me, I'll make sure it's completely sanitized.

Joe & Torri upon reading the script: That's what you think.

Sparkies upon seeing the script: Thank you for canonizing!!!

AHAHAHAHAH! That's priceless!

I can't begin to tell you how accurate that is, especially given Gero's "a hug is sometimes just a hug" explanation. LOL

*snorts* That 'explanation' was such a joke. We caught him, and there's no going back.

Thoughts on the 'hug is just a hug' moment...if that were the case, what the heck was the rest of that scene all about?! I mean please, even my super non-romantic hubby saw the Sparky-ness of that whole exchange!

Well obviously two platonic friends just showing they cared about each other in a completely platonic, lip-licking, awkward stuttering kind of way.

Duhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Southern Red]

Please allow me a short OT report. Even in the ICE sculpture show, I found a bit of Sparky. It was freezing in there and by the time we got out I couldn't feel my fingers. We don't always match. They gave us giant parkas to wear.

Spoiler:

First of all: Me and Hubby in the ice sleigh


And the ice Sparky

[Yusagi]

Awwww! That's just too sad and unfair! Poor Lizzie!

Yeah, but Ronon and Jennifer are good to her, at least. It's better than the SG-1 side of New Atlantis has fared.

Awwwwwwwwww...cute!!!!!!!!! And I love that ice-sculpture. Man, you're right, it really does look Sparky-ish!!

Oh...right...silly me, what was I thinking!? I always act like that with my friends.

That's so cool!!!!

and rather Sparky, you're right!

[Southern Red]

It was literally cool...9 degrees F. LOL

*huggles Ronon and Jen*

Yikes! I don't want to know how bad it is for SG-1, do I?

Hahahah! And haven't we been saying all along that if even the non-shippers are seeing it, it's totally there? Sparky is unstoppable!

Well obviously two platonic friends just showing they cared about each other in a completely platonic, lip-licking, awkward stuttering kind of way.

Duhhhhhhhhhhh.

*snickers* Yeah, it's just nervous body language because they're so uncomfortable with each other. Suuuuure.

Oh...right...silly me, what was I thinking!? I always act like that with my friends.

Hah! And if you believe that, I've got a bridge in the Sahara desert I wanna sell you!

I can see the faces of my mommy and daddy.
Love the ice sparky pic

We can start a new game thanks to you. The name of this game "We are officially obsessed with John/Elizabeth when...."lol

1/We are officially obsessed with John/Elizabeth when someone posts a pic with ice sculpure and we all see Sparky in it.
2/.....when I see my boss and I wonder what he would think if I give him a hug.

Aww, thanks. And you can't even see Hubby's cowboy hat and thankfully much of my face.

And on the hug. That is totally the way you welcome an employee back to the place of business. LOL In SGU she would have dragged him off to a storage closet and everybody would love it.
