    Wooooot! Hey guys, I am so glad to be the thread's shrink. (Just don't let me shrink you. Ooops. that didn't come out right).

    Anyway, considering that you've granted me the honor of being a thread shrink, I think it's time I prescribe us with some fun. I really really mis us doing picspams, and pic - caps and all thats tuff and I suggest (prescribe) a game of all sparky moments! Meaning, along with thsi awesome conversation and discussion, let's post our little hearts out with sparky prettyness - everythign we can find, all big and small, overt and latent sparky moments, even those "ghost - Elizabeth" moemnts when we saw John thinking of her with sadness on his face. What say ya'all?

    (note though that manips are not allowed! Let's play it according to teh rules, you guys!)



    A .gif I found on tumblr, persumably made by someone under a name of lightandwaves. I have ambigous feelings about this episode and the very picture makes me feel sad, but observe them - how they mirror each others looks and expressions. That's shared emotion, right there. I love how in sync they are, even if this is supposed to be clone!Elizabeth. It just shows how strong their connection is (and obviously not even cloning could erase that! lol) Other than that, the famous, and never quite matched Joe and Torri on screen chemistry in its finest is to be seen right here. Flawless acting from both. Wow, did Torri help him shine in all of their shared scenes. I love that.
    I'm not weird, I'm limited edition.

      And, oh yeah, John just never thought he could repay Elizabeth for all she did for him. She just got him on a basic level that made words unnecessary. He knew he could never fool her. We saw that time and time again. I wish I had time to find pics to back up that statement, but it's in canon and can't be denied. One scene I remember, that I think was mentioned earlier, is the "king" scene at the end of The Tower.

      He started out with a simple report to her on how they left things and then before he could stop himself, it got personal and he proudly proclaimed that he "got the girl". But, not missing a beat, Elizabeth got that teasing look on her face and called him on it. And he backed off immediately. Now what would the average guy have done, puffed out his chest and repeated that the girl was hot for his jeans genes. But what did John do? He made light of it and began to twitch a bit and look at her nervously while doing that shy look thing he does and saying that he turned her down. He wanted her to know the girl meant nothing to him. Why? I'll let you decide.

      And she understood right away that it was a joke because instead of teasing him further, she went right back to what they were talking about and asked him another question. And then she smiled and asked him about being king, knowing that he wouldn't accept such a thing. Complete and utter understanding of each other. That's what we have there. Makes me wonder how that episode would have gone had John and anybody else been reversed in their roles. Rodney? LOL Ronon? even better

      Oh, and:

      Spoiler:
      Yes, THIS!!! It's one of the reasons, I believe, why everything worked out the way it did. She picked up, correctly, that he is uncomfortable when speaking and overtly showing what he feels, but she was also aware how important it is to him, that someone takes his intentions, motivation and emotions into account. She always did. She did criticize his actions when it was called for (Hot Zone), but she did it in a way that didn't hurt him. She never said "you are a faliure", not in lietral or symbolic way (his father might have said it literally, and well, military did its job well in symbolic telling him just where they think he belonged). I think what Elizabeth had given him is something that all good leaders know how to do - "Come on, be better, do better than that. i know you can, I BELIEVE in you." And she kept doing it, until John finally spread his wings.

      I think Elizabeth's unwavering influence is something he continously missed since she was gone, and it's not just the guilt that he's carrying everywhere, every moment with him. What she did is an equivalent of a soldier taking a bullet for his fellow soldier, simply by choosing it's gonna be her who falls down, not him, not any one of them. Ever since that loss, nobody really offered John that kind of support. I fully intend to restore that in Gravity.

        Yup, always good to have a real professional in the field to consult with, rather than trying to make up stuff on our own. But then, 'Nuna thinks we're all right on the money, so it's all good. Thanks, 'Nuna!

        *snerks* I'll bet Elizabeth wanted to pull him out of his jeans, all right.

        Oh wait, we were having a serious discussion.

        If we're going to talk teasing, well, we can't forget the biggest classic of all:

        Spoiler:


        SHEPPARD: Just out of political curiosity, how much trouble is it gonna cause you if I knock this Woolsey guy in the head?

        WEIR: May I ask why you'd like to do that?

        SHEPPARD: It's just an impulse I had, really, one I suspect I'm gonna have again next time I see him. He may not even have to say anything.


        (Elizabeth looks up at him, amused.)

        WEIR: I've never seen you like this. What did Woolsey say to you?

        SHEPPARD: Besides judging every damned decision you've ever made?

        WEIR: John Sheppard, are you defending my honour?!


        In the immortal words of Guy Fieri, "winner winner chicken dinner."

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

          Oh and that moment is so CLASSIC! *swoon* I love how he's all puffing his chest and basically saying "Whoever questions your decisions INSULTS me!"

                Torri Higginson is a goddess of the TV screen. Why the TPTW had to cut her out? Is beyond me. I mean she has a long range of emotions is good.

                            About that moment in LFP. I always thought it was interesting that she asks John to tape a message for Sumner's family. I think she knew it would help him, help his emotional state.

                              One small little moment I always enjoy is the jumper bay scene in Tao of Rodney. When Rodney's explaining how he thinks his mental powers saved everyone, John keeps looking at Elizabeth. He tended to look her way a good bit of the time, though.

                                Ha. He was such a great character in that. Did you hear the story about him watching it with his boys and 3 nephews? That must have been a hoot. And then the next day they all argued over who was going to be "Daddy" when they played Ferocious Planet. So cute.

                                She understood exactly how he felt about what he had done.
