Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
Hi Sparkies, hope everybody is OK
I didn't have time to read your homeworks but I promise I will ... I had a crappy week at work and seems next weeks won't be any better.
Hopefully in July I will have 3 weeks holyday and I'll have time for Sparky videos and fics
Have a nice weekend everybody.
OT
Spoiler:
The weekend started badly with this poor kitten abandoned on the street: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...&id=1527036902
He's sick and is very thin, he needs recovery. Let's hope my vet will do the miracle!!!
And then me and my friend will find a good adoption for him
We just got back home from the funeral. It was a beautiful ceremony and very touching at times. I'm glad my mother in law was allowed to be there. There's a chance she'll be allowed to return home on monday, so we're looking forward to that.
Again, thank you everyone, for your support.
SK, that novelization was great!
nephtys, I'll keep my fingers crossed for that kitten.
I hear the ratings are a bit...slow...and not very action packed also. Not that I'm snickering or anything.
*snickers*
Hmm, I guess now I'm going to have to bite the bullet and watch all of Season 1 to look for anything we might be able to use in Season 6. Oh, the humanity.
nephtys: Awww! I hope the kitten does okay! And I'm sorry your week has been crappy; things have got to improve soon!
Kris: I'm glad to hear your mother in law is doing well and that she'll be home soon! *big hugs*

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon.Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

SK, fantastic job on the homework. Great description and detail.
Sgu's ratings arent so great, especially for the second half. And the second half is a whole lot better than the first half. i guess a lot of people lost interest because of all the ummm "character development" going on in the first half and didnt care enough to watch the second half. Especially since most of the character developement involved
Spoiler:
soap opera sex and drama just not in your own body using the communication stones; so it could be called sci-fi. It nearly turned me off, I dont mind sex on a tv show as long as its done tastefully and not in someone elses body. At least that wasnt going on second half and they actually put the stones to good use.

(((hugs))) I know you're glad it's over. I'm also glad your MIL got to go. She would have always regretted it even though it was very painful.
Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Sparky!Family Saturday!
Thanks for the good words on my homework, everyone! I'm glad it came out so well!

You are indeed a brave soul. There are some things I won't do, even for Sparky. I'm glad some people get enjoyment out of that show, but I barely survived the pilot. Mr. SR and I have a lot in common with Joe's kids. LOL

*snorts* Honestly, I'm surprised I held out until Time. Though it was fun watching everyone get killed off again and again.

Bwahahaha!
But yeah, someone's gotta do it, so it might as well be me. After all, we've got to make sure Season 6 jives with canon.

SK, maybe we could do another post-a-thon. That way you won't have to suffer all by yourself
True, dat. After all, the thread that snarks together, stays together. We've just got to keep telling ourselves, 'it's all in the name of Sparky.' LOL!

We tied England 1:1... weeeee! I thought we were going to get our butts handed to us.
Quiet Sparky day again. This has got to stop. *thinks*
*cracks up*
Hey, go turn on SyFy, Stonehenge: Apocalypse is about to come on! I think I'm gonna go post-a-thon in the Torri-Weir thread.

I'm recording it. My cookout just broke up and we are exhausted. Nothing to do with the gallon of Sangria. FYI: Did you know if you freeze Sangria, it makes a really nice slushy? There's got to be a fic there somewhere. Will think tomorrow.

Yes, Miss Torri was good in Stonehenge. The British accent was interesting. Nothing against Brits, I know a few and they're terrific folks. But now if Miss Torri got to play something with a Southern drawl, saying maybe something like, "I do declare. You've given me a terrible case of the vapors!" Or being all angry, "Don't sass me or I'll stomp a mud hole in ya then walk it dry."
I'm always feeling very conflicted on the topic of SGU. I think no matter how good I feel the quality of the writing is, I'll probably feel resentful toward the show on some level because I'm still annoyed at the fact that SGA as canceled for it. As if the writers had a shiny new toy to play with because dramas were "in" now or something. So I sort of had mixed emotions about wanting to like the show or not. It didn't start off at the level that it's two predecessors did, in my opinion, so I thought it was just "OK" most of the time. Still I think my enjoyment of the episodes improved little by little as the show proceeded.
With that said I actually really very much enjoyed finale, and I think I might just finally be able to appreciate the show for what it is and would be sad it see it be discontinued. It's different enough that I think comparing it to SGA positively or negatively isn't really the best way think about it.
I think the second half of the season was definitely better of the two, so it's a little unfortunate the ratings were worse for it.
Still I sometimes have a weird moment when I think about ratings when my mixed feelings emerge. Sorta of like "Hah! The ratings aren't as high as before! That'll show them! Oh wait, the ratings aren't as high as before! Crap! "
