Isn't it, though? And of course, having Elizabeth be the only one who goes to see John when he's going buggy in Conversion. Makes me wonder if Gero was a subconscious Sparky and trying to go with other ships to cover it up.

It totally makes sense to me. It does need to be personal; that's why I see John's angst over losing Elizabeth and his vow to get her back in Lifeline as being more than just the military mindset of 'we don't leave our people behind,' it's also his own personal honor driving him to help the woman who's stuck up for him so many times in the past. Really, one doesn't even have to ship John and Elizabeth to see that.
And I agree with you that the balcony scene in Rising isn't shippy, either. It's really more in the context of them trying to feel each other out as to where they stand on issues, what they believe in; perhaps it might be considered pre-ship on some level, I don't know.
The icing, the candles, the ribbons and roses... yeah. *raises a glass to JoeF*
