Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[gateraid]

*reaches back into Joe handbook* He was a competitive downhill skier in college and I think I heard he played tennis. I'm not sure if that was high school or college. He tells a funny story about playing basketball in high school until an embarassing throw into the wrong net. Ouch. He's too small to have played football and soccer wasn't very popular in those days above middle school.

I think you got the ice hockey idea from reports that he and Michael Shanks were trading hockey taunts at a con. Joe also said his boys are LA Lakers fans but he's not so much into it. And I think the Irish hurling game he went to with Jason last year proves that any sport will do. Oh, and he also loves Nascar.

Lol on the basketball. Somebody in my class did that at college and never lived it down.

Romancing the Stone is the first one. I think the second is called Jewel of the Nile and did indeed stink.

I should have looked that up before I posted. I got the titles muddled

Oh Wow! Stopped by to say good morning and - 24 users on the thread. 21 guests! It may be a great Monday after all.

Glad you enjoyed the fic, I am working on the next chap. The bunnies and I have made peace but I'm not allowed to bring any more cake home SR- I'd like to take a peek in the JF handbook of yours, that sounds quite interesting.

Gateraid- OT

Spoiler:

Give Farscape a try. It really was great, pay no attention to the parody.

Good morning Sparkies! Happy Monday! Took the day off because my kiddo didn't have school today, but we'll be making a doctor's run soon - she came down with a fever Saturday night - now she has sore throat and swollen tonsils. YIKES!

Okay - on to the Sparky part.....prompties! Let's go with a theme of warmth and sunshine (as I sit in my midwestern home, preparing for more snow on Tuesday...grrrrr....):

Umbrella Drinks
Sand between their toes
Crashing Waves
Catching some rays
Warm tropical breezes

LOL. The handbook resides in the dark recesses of my brain. It is held together by duct tape and rubber bands and sometimes pages fall out never to be seen again. It was accumulated over the last 7 *yikes* years of hanging out in the fandom. Accuracy varies according to how my synapses are firing that day.

Oh dear. Sick kids are never fun. Best wishes.

Love the prompts. It's quite balmy here today-in the 50's.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday! Because Atlantis Rising really does stick to canon equally for all characters. Unlike some novels we could name.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl. I went to Disneyland! (yes, again. Hey, I have an annual pass! And they were having a Lunar New Year festival, so I got to see all sorts of martial arts and Chinese dance exhibitions! It was fun! )

*hugs SMB_BOOKS* Hope the kiddo is okay! Fevers aren't fun.

And before I retire on this fair eve...I humbly offer the second chapter of The Hot Button. Hopefully Torri012 and Erin87 will still enjoy the product of their prompts...

Aaaaahhhhh! I love it when the Atlantis betting pool runs amok! Now John, stop rabbiting off and go snog Lizzeh! You're making her sad!

If anyone's in the market for a matching set of director's chair backs used by Torri and Joe, Propworx now has them up for sale on eBay!

Torri Higginson Chair Back

Joe Flanigan Chair Back

Before anyone asks, no, I'm not going for them. I'd be tempted to go for Torri's but I'd like to see someone get the Sparky set.

[Falcon Horus]

You don't want to open the s/z can of worms Not to mention the re/er, our/or..........

Considering I'm up against a Dutch English-teacher, it does require some can opening. Especially since that is the first time someone (her son) told me that it's perfectly acceptable to write warrior with one R.

Not me. Although I did hear the odd update on the radio. However I did manage to find Eri13's Echoes recap, Return I and Return II

As I went over the Echoes recap for old time's sake, I happen to stumble across one of my responses... I made myself giggle.

I thought about watching that a while back, but the spoof they did of it on SG-1's 200 put me off

LOL!

And be prepared to cough up a lot of money cause the last set on sale (Jewel - Paul - Kavan - Pileggi) all went for over 100$ (+ 20$ shipping if you're in the US/Canada or 85$ shipping elsewhere). And I imagine that Flanigan's especially will go for a lot of money (Sheppard's dogtags went for nearly or over 1000$).

I tried for Jewel's but I'm going with a set amount of money I want to spend, since I have to keep in mind that I have to pay 85$ on shipping and possible have to add taxes once it arrives, so I was outbid rather quickly.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

Speaking of Return: Why didn't John get any sort of reprimand after they retook the city? i mean he did disobey orders.

In so doing, he saved O'Neill and Woolsey. I imagine that held quite a lot of weight.

He did get a lecture from someone (I think, O'Neill) but he hit the off-switch of the radio.

it was Landry. if your talking about when they're at midway?

That was Gen. Landry. I think considering how many times John has pulled their butts out of the fire and saved the universe/galaxy/solar system/planet, they decided to cut him some slack. I'm sure they made a note in his permanent record.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about... though I guessed O'Neill since I was thinking it was in fact Hammond but I knew that wasn't possible.

Something like, "Does not respond well to orders to retreat/leave people behind. It tends to encourage him to do the exact opposite."

I so enjoy these! So many epps I need to re- re-watch. I'd forgotten about John and Rodney yelling when they were in the infirmary in Echoes. Priceless.

I thought the excerpt below was great and- sadly- accurate (re: the Return).

Eri13
Hand-in-hand with that is the scene with Elizabeth. While I think it is exactly befitting of Elizabeth's state of mind, and I enjoy Carson's presence here, I also don't believe he would be the first visiting. For me, personally, this scene felt like the writer (who happens to be Martin Gero) said 'I can't have John visit--that looks wayyyyy too intimate. Let's make it Carson instead.' In other words, these two scenes feel like they were designed this particular way to purposely downplay any shippiness or chance at shippiness. Like, they needed them in there to expound on the characters, but they tiptoed around what would directly make better sense and shoved some OOC moments on them
