Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[TheLadyMore]

If you're going by assumption that Elizabeth is very near or over 40 years old, you should read up about risks of being pregnant persumably for the first time in that age. It comes with various health risks for both mom and the baby. I think she would initially be shocked, because parenthood isn't something Elizabeth has in her plans, but after that I don't see how she wouldn't want her and John's child. After the decision to keep the pregnancy she may be concerned for health risks for the child, and I can see John doing the same, only adding the concern for her. Go and look up pregnancy forums. They are usually full of useful information, and first hand experience.

As for rules and regulations, they were never clearly spelled out, but common sense suggests IOA and John's superiors wouldn't be thrilled, there would probably be people who'd say she's biased toward him, as there would be people who would be genuinely happy about them being together. Persoanlly, I wouldn't dwelve into that topic too much. It tends to be a bottomless pit of complications, and I don't like stories that go too deep into regulations. This is science fiction. I don't watch it for being realistic, but for other reasons.

Having that said, why did you spell fertility with capital F and pregnancy with capital P? I didn't realize that English required that nouns should be written with capital letters, like in German.

Also, remember that good writers do their research.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU! That really helped and as for the capitalized "P" and "F" I tend to do that when I emphasize words....which is why I am not studying to be an English teacher. >.<

Will vote shortly but I just wanted to see of anybody wanted to do the picspam for Sparky on the favorite ship thread. Every ship that hits 50 votes has gotten one.

Go for it. You will do a great one, I'm sure. Don't forget to vote on Best Hug everybody.

But English teachers are weeping the world over.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday! Speaking of pretty, did anyone stay up to watch the wedding? LOL!

And we are at just over five hours until the launch of space shuttle Endeavour on its final mission! NASA TV is already carrying live coverage of pre-launch preparation; they're currently in one of their scheduled holds, and the crew will be boarding in about another two hours.

There are better ways to empasize words. Italics for example. Personally, capital letters where they shouldn't be tend to confuse me.

Me as well; it tends to confuse most people. It's really distracting.

And a reminder: VOTE SPARKY FOR BEST HUG! TLM, that means you too! LOL!

Rewatching the SGA Series and watching "Underground" I love how socially awkward John is around Elizabeth you notice how he blinks and moves his eyes alot

I voted an hour and 20 minutes early. I hope the game police can adjust. Who hasn't voted? Gogogo.

I was thinking - what do you think about compiling our own Season six soundtrack? I remember the epicness of Anti - soundtrack we complied waaay back on the anti thread. How about we do something similar for our virtual season? Some of us (like me) use music for writing inspiration.

Also, if Atlantis expedition had an anthem, what would it be?

Update: NASA has scrubbed today's launch of the shuttle Endeavour due to a technical problem that they're still trying to diagnose.

I think that is a fantastic idea! While I tend to write in silence, I do use music a lot when I'm brainstorming story ideas. Maybe we could pick out at least one or two pieces for each story?

An anthem for the expedition? Hmm, I'll have to think about that one.

Anthem for the expedition - I'll start us off (and bring in the cheeze). As I learned, this song is usually associated to one particular sport, but beyond that, look at the symbolism - World in union is simply stunning. And it fits, sentimentally.

I'll have to think about something purely instrumental too. *looks at her clasical music collection*

Funny you should mention that, as I've been thinking about it myself. I keep hearing songs that I think would fit various Season 6 episodes.

For example, "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel or "Uprising" by Muse for the first 2 episodes as they deal with getting the IOA to let them leave Earth.

I was also thinking about a song I learned about from SR, Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul's "Reconciliation" for that episode where Elizabeth is causing chaos in Atlantis' systems (can't think of the name).

How about The Mass by Era for Primum Movens or Return to Pegasus?

That is absolutely perfect for the expedition's anthem!
