Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
The beginning of the Sparky Dynasty. Gotta love it.
Oh, I'll vote for that one. Methinks Joe would appreciate it.
I can see him now, driving down an LA freeway with a "Who is John Galt?" bumper sticker, taking his one hand off the wheel long enough to show the bad drivers his bandaged finger. Insider Twitter joke FTW!
I like that one. Gives the audience a good visual sense of who's involved with the story. That is to say, everyone.
That is a nice visual isn't it? All the families and friends with John in the middle all alone...waiting. *shivers* That would make some lovely sigs and banners and wallies and what all.

*joins in the shivers* Eeeeeee! That is the perfect image!

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon.Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.
I'm waiting for that continuity beta I'm going to put RTP II through. Where's my file?
I think the line has died many times so far...

In order to put Kanaan and Torren on that balcony, one would have to need a picture of both, or Teyla holding Torren and Kanaan standing nearby. The lighting will have to be adjusted plus you'd have to cut Teyla from the original image and re-insert her beautiful self back in with Torren and Kanaan.
I was thinking about doing some sort of trailer like the ones I saw for Pillars of the Earth, but then I realized that with the new characters that might be problematic as I wanted to add a glimpse of Mayel in there as well. Unless there was an actress I could use for that part... But I'm currently in the process of storyboarding so you know, we'll see...

And that's about it...
Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
Just droppin in, wanted to tell everyone involved with SGARising what a wonderful job you're doing, and kudos to JT for figuring out the scheduling! School is done for me on June 6th, so if there's anything I can do to help over the summer, let me know. I would love to be of assistance!

Hey, I didn't say it would be easy. *snerk* Too bad Torren is too small in the Broken Ties scenes. But I know some clever artistic genius could do it. Maybe Teyla with the baby from Prodigal and Kanaan from Broken Ties? Damn you, TPTB. We know they were both there, JM said so. Why weren't they out on that balcony?

Scheduling conflict for Patrick Sabongui? That seems the most likely explanation.

Finals are the root of all evil.....and 6 days left as a Minor!
Yeah, that kind of stuff is a sure sign that it was written by a non-math person. Even I know that's silly. Anybody could memorize. That doesn't mean you're good at math. As a literature person, I was amused by the War and Peace book. That's the longest book most people can think of and is always used by writers. There are lots of books that John would have chosen before that one. Personally, I would have gone with Atlas Shrugged, but that may just be me.
As a non reader, I think if I were going away and needed something long to read, that would be the one I would choose, if only because I'd heard of it before. Sure, there'd be better books, or longer ones, but that one is very well known. I assume that was probably their reasoning too.

Exactly! I have one of Shakespeare's soliloquies memorized but that doesn't make me a literature expert. FAR from it. I just liked that one speech.
For that book idea, I wonder if there would be legal issues with using that book. In the same way that songs are in TV, I wonder if there's public domain books and the other ones you'd have to pay a royalty. Regardless, I like that the title reflects the two of them: diplomat "Peace" Elizabeth, and soldier "War" John. I have no clue what the book is about, other than the things SR's fic said about them.
Ugh, off to work. TGIF! And Friday the 13th! Woot! My good luck day!

Good luck on both the finals and the dates. I'm glad I'm done with both of them.
When he can drive whilst it is out of its socket, tell him to give me a call. We'll compare notes.

Since he had the surgery, I'm hoping the shoulder is back in its socket. LOL Did you see the pics from the OR? He said something at the VanCon about it having to be immobile for quite some time, so I'm guessing he's driving down the LA freeways one-handed. Maybe they should put up an alert on one of those mechanical signs.
That was my whole point. War and Peace is the only long book most people can think of.

I didn't think of the public domain angle, but I'm sure that's it. War and Peace is free on most eBooks. I'd like to think they did it as a theme for Sparky, but I'm not that naive.
