    Here's your answer key...

    Top Ten Reasons Why John Sheppard Loves Elizabeth Weir
    10. The Eyebrow of Doom. - This is one of those that had multiple answers. My personal favorite is "Condemned," when she's totally pwning the Olesian Magistrate to get not only herself and Lorne's team out of the Magistrate's clutches, but find out WTF happened to Team Shep. Plus, her hair was fan-frakkin-tastic!

    9. He likes defending her honor. - "Misbegotten." What can I say? There's nothing like a little chivalry to get the heart racing.

    8. He knows that she knows what he was really going to say when he had that bug on his neck. - "Thirty-Eight Minutes." Because let's face it, Lizzeh had him pegged. He knew it. And he so enjoyed basking under her oh-so-knowing gaze in the infirmary.

    7. She looks so damn sexy in red. - Elizabeth wore red in every episode of Atlantis she appeared in, except for "Lifeline," "Be All My Sins Remember'd," and "Ghost in the Machine." So if you answered with any of the other Weir-era episodes, you got this one in the bag!

    6. She got him promoted by threatening to go to the President. Talk about working those political connections! - "The Intruder." Sure didn't see her fighting for Simon like that, did we? *snorts*

    5. Beauty AND brains. What more could a guy want? - Another one with multiple answers. My personal faves are "The Siege, Part 2" (mad diplomatic skillz!), "Epiphany" (mad linguist skillz to save John's ass from premature old age!), and "Tao of Rodney," (mad linguist skillz strike again!).

    4. She's not afraid of him, even when he's turning into a homicidal bug-man. - "Conversion." And she's the only one we ever saw go to see him when he shut himself up in his quarters. That had to make an impression on him.

    3. You don't go on a rampage and kill fifty-eight Genii assault troops in less than ten minutes to avenge someone who's nothing more than your "boss." "The Eye." - And when, pray tell, have we ever seen him go off the deep end Rambo on that kind of scale for anyone else? Even his teammates? Nope. Just for her.

    2. She believed in him when no one else did. "Rising." Though one could also count "The Intruder," for the way she told off Landry & Co. to promote Sheppard.

    1. He just does. Again, this could be multiple episodes, but my personal pick is "Lifeline." He let her go because she asked him to. There is no greater act of love than that. Except, perhaps, going back for her. Bring on Atlantis Rising.

    Congratulations, Sparkies!

          Oh that would be fun...I could use that right now. I'm getting emotionally whumped writing this part (Coincidentally about Common Ground and I feel my eyes watering at this part) maybe a fun humorous little series about Kolya finding ways to bring Sparky together.

                  “I thought Teyla was teaching this section.”

                  “I thought Dr. Weir was.”

                  “Why does Colonel Sheppard look like he’s been drinking?”

                  “Has anyone called Dr. McKay by his actual first name yet?”

                  Everyone looks at the last person to comment.

                  “What?” he asks with a shrug.

                  “Stay on topic. Sheppard’s drunk. And … starting to strip?”

                  The men groan. The women giggle.

                  -----------

                  “G’d evening, everybody. I am Lieutenant--” Jacket comes off. “Colonel--” Beer falls to the floor. “John Sheppard.”

                  A round of applause comes up from one side of the room. A couple of the Marines snicker. Most of the men are still glaring at the women.

                  “So. Y’all are probably expecting the Pegasus culture class, aren’t ya?”

                  Heads nod.

                  “Well, Teyla got sick earlier. So I volunteered to substitute for her. Only, I’ve never taught this particular class before. So we’re not doing it tonight. Instead, with the help of the lovely Doctor Elizabeth Weir, we will have our ‘official’ sexual harassment workshop.”

                  The women almost faint in pure ecstasy.


                  I'm a horrible, horrible, horrible person.
                  Very interesting! More please.

                    This took forevvvvvver! Let me see... probably 13 hours, at times possibly over 12 layers, at least 9 references, 1 tutorial, and countless wrock (wizard rock) and random songs later... I give you this...

                    Spoiler:


                    Someone many pages back (I forgot who) mentioned John and Liz dancing together at an Athosian harvest festival and once I heard this song I was just struck with an urge to draw (and paint) that scene. Honestly I think it's one of, if not the, best Sparky drawings I have ever done (certainly the best non-portait one of Elizabeth). Even though I CANNOT shade faces in firelight to save my life!!! Arrggh! I especially like how the background turned out - it reminds me of Disney concept art for some reason. But yeah... forever. Just the lineart of John and Liz itself took over 4 hours (John's face was being sooooo stupid!!! Grrr him! For once Lizzie was actually relatively easy, b/c I found a screencap with just the right angle and even the right expression! So lucky on that; usually Liz never turns out right for me, but this time she did!

                    Apologies for the mini-rant/gush of info, but I've been working on it so long that I just had to get it out! *takes a deep breath and relaxes* Ahh...
                    Erin, that IS THE BEST SPARKY DRAWING I HAVE SEEN!!!!!!!

                          Hi Torri! I said it in the thunk page too.

                          I like the idea of Kolya being a sparky cupid! It cracks me up!

                          TLM - I watch CG again last night because I'm putting parts of it in my fic.

                                YAY!!! I survived 12 hours of work!

                                But I come home and find my microwave is dead. EDIT: Then the internet went down for the night and I didn’t get to post this till morning.

                                Crud.

                                You nailed it right on the head. The thing with both Weir and Woolsey was that they were neither fish nor fowl in the 'military vs. scientist' debate. So for them to step back and ask for facts and advice from the experts (namely, Sheppard and McKay) to make informed decisions about the conflicts they faced, made them look stronger. Carter, on the other hand, was both military and a scientist. She had enough expertise herself in both fields that she could make good decisions on her own, so for her to step back and yield the floor (especially when it came to McKay, because you're totally right, she could totally kick his mental butt) made her look weaker. She just wasn't as good a fit for the job as either Weir or Woolsey.

                                Though personally, I prefer Woolsey in the center seat. Why? Because that frees up Elizabeth to go play off-world with Sheppard and his team more often. Win-win for us.
                                Yeah, S4 was a bit OOC for Carter.

                                Ahahahahah! That's great! And yes, Ronon so knows. Heck, I think everyone on Atlantis has figured it out even before John and Elizabeth!

                                *snickers*

                                My poor Seahawks are losing.

                                *screams of laughter* Horrible, but hilarious! I hope you get 104 finished soon, 'cause you're killing me with the suspense!
                                Workin on it right now ... it's heading straight for the gutter!!! LOL

That made him a bit snippy which leads into the argument in Hot Zone, the Kirk-ing in Sanctuary, and then later the "whoa I'm sorry can we still be friends?" in Before I Sleep.

                                Then I think they started hooking up after Carson died. Seems to me that losing someone so close to them might have made them realize to not waste time. But they were keeping it secret. (Remember him adjusting his pants when walking in with Elizabeth in Vengeance?). And the First Strike comment "I don't think leaders should lie, Elizabeth" was a cheeky dig because they were lying to everyone about their relationship.

                                Or, you know, we can take SK's approach and get them together after season 6.
                                Could totally see that happening ...

                                *nods approvingly* Nice answer key!!! Yay, I was right on most of them. I suppose my punishment on the points I missed is to go back and "research" said episode, right???

                                Working on fics some more, then heading to bed ...

                                EDIT: That was last night.

                                Yeah, I slept in this morning til almost 11, then go to work at 2 til 11. Love my life!
