Great video ShipperWriter, loved the use of the clips you used, and where you used them, sparks really do fly around Liz and John. How (most of) the writers never noticed the obvious that was right there is something that I will never understand.

OT:Spoiler:So I got home from work and my cat met me at the top of the stairs, wrapping around my legs and purring. He laid down on his right side (his rear left leg seems to the the one that's hurt) but kept purring. It only seems to bother him when he walks. So now I can't decide if he just hurt his leg from jumping and it's a little bruised, or if it's serious enough to take him to the vet. He hates travelling, so I don't want to force him in the car for nothing.
Oh, I don't know what to do!

Thank you.
And too true, I was pretty amazed even back then when the show first aired here that the writers of SGA went in the complete opposite direction than many if any writers of any other show would go. I’ve always liked those TV-show relationships where the characters start of as friends and then over time it grows and become something more and whether it was intentional or not, they did start on that, but never finished it which was sad, yet at the same time most of the writers of SG weren’t exactly known for their skills on writing romantic relationships so at least they didn’t really start something they might have ruined. Oh well, the chemistry was there, and Joe and Torri worked so well of and with each other that the Sheppard/Weir scenes were always my favorite and always fun to watch.
One obvious thing I noticed and I did see that a few pages back that you were talking about it too, about the Siege pt 3 hug and the commentary to that episode where they said that it was “just” a hug and nothing else. I did think of it the same way you did and I did wonder what about it that was “just” a hug. I mean yeah, it could have been just a hug if they had wanted to but when you

it’s obviously intended to be more than just a hug…the scene speaks for itself.

Oh well. That's what fanfic is for.

If there had been two different actors, it could've been a "just a hug" scene. But they put so much into it, they made those characters. It still gives me goosebumps to watch any John/Elizabeth scene, even if they're fighting or talking shop or whatever it is they're doing, just because of how natural it feels. And that's how you know the actors are doing their job -- when they make the characters their own.
And for that, we thank you!

I was a bit surprised that they revealed that the siege end scene, when Liz moves down the stairs to be with John after Ford leaves, was all Joe and Torri though, and by surprised I mean that they would reveal it and not that the two of them were behind it, they seem to know their characters a whole lot better than writers at that point and I’m happy that they got to do, it was a great scene, you can tell that they had a connection and I think John really needed someone by his side, someone who knew him well enough to know that he have a hard time to really express himself at times like that, and Liz instead choose silent comfort and of course, since we can’t have any scenes with the two of them without at least one glance, the “look”…

Joe has often said that his favorite part of the show was his scenes with Torri because they had substance and were longer than one on one scenes with anyone else. He clearly recognized how well they worked together. It's too bad he thought there couldn't be a romance because she was his boss. But who knows what would have happened in S6.

And this is gonna be a horrible question, but ... where does the lemming reference come from? I honestly don't know!!!

Originally posted by Southern Red View PostYou make some very good observations. It would have been just a hug without the meaningful gazes and the liplicking and his awkwardness. But put all of that together and you get more than just a hug.

Originally posted by Lt.Colonel John Sheppard View Posti found an old stargate story that i wrote when a junior in high school and i noticed that i shipped john and elizabeth together. i guess i was shipper without even knowing it.
I was writing Jack/Sam fics when I was 16. After I watched "Divide and Conquer", it pretty much sealed the deal for me and in my mind, they became my top ship. I've had ships for every show I've everobsessively compulsivelywatched.
Well, off to bed for me! See y'all in the morning!

The song is "Sparks Fly" by Taylor Swift. I love her music, and I love Sparky, and sometimes the two go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
Off to work, be back later. Fics are brewing -- I may have one to post later.
I thought it was Taylor Swift but I wasn't sure.I tell you Teal'c, hockey is the coolest game on Earth!
Did you not say it is played on ice, O'Neill?

Originally posted by Southern Red View PostHow could you not be a Sparky shipper? It was pretty hard to miss. I've had people tell me I must be mistaken when I tell them they didn't ship Sparky on the show on purpose.
Back to work, back later!
