Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[mandogater]

*Sorry Captain Reynolds but I'll stick with my Major Tight Pants. I mean Major Sheppard.*

*Is Elizabeth staring at my butt again?*

[Southern Red]

Cheers That really did seem to forget about her/them.

You have outdone yourself again. I'll just have to say that I couldn't tear my eyes away from John's arms in that scene in the cell, and on the one with Elizabeth looking at John's butt, I think he knows.

gateraid, best laugh I've had on this thread in the longest time.

While we're on the subject of some random scenes, I was rewatching "The Eye" and noticed something new. It's the scene toward the end in which John and Ford are watching the Genii leave Atlantis with stolen supplies. John must see Elizabeth and Rodney with them, because he says, "Change of plan." He moves to a better position, and then tells Ford, "You've got McKay."

Now... am I overreacting here, or do those three words scream Sparky? My reasoning: John had thought Elizabeth was dead until less than an hour ago, and now, he sees her about to be taken away by Koyla. He knows that Ford can take care of the Genii surrounding Rodney, but he only trusts himself to save Elizabeth and make sure she is safe and all right. If you rewatch the scene and observe John's eyes, you'll also notice how concentrated and intent he is and how he's not about to let Koyla go with Elizabeth.

Then again, this scene could just be interpreted as John just doing his job as a soldier and devising a new strategy so he can save his people.

I like this idea. Knowing she was alive changed everything, and only he could rescue her.

gateraid, you are slaying me!

you know, sometimes it's fun to see the original and the manip together (at least to me!)

^ Seconding this. Headcanon officially approved!

All that talk of pausing the video is a nice segue to the first few of these (the first five are off the first page of my photobucket account) and how pausing at the wrong moment could lead to misinterpretation :s

Ronon: When did you start carrying a sidearm McKay?

Sheppard: Pucker up Rodney, I'm coming in

Ronon: Are you as turned on by this argument as I am?

Carter: MORE!

Sheppard: Just to be clear - when you said you wanted 'some Athosian pot' for your birthday, this is what you meant, right?

Rodney: Carson?

Carson: Yes Rodney, you can be excused to go to the toilet

Woolsey: Sorry, sorry, that energy bar didn't agree with me

Chick: I bet by the end of the show, they'll have answered the question of who we are, and why this is such a dramatic moment

Dude: They're bound to. After all, we're in the opening sequence

haha I love these! But I think this one should be...


Really? thats what your wearing? Blue? *looks around the room* when we are all in black?
Woolsey: Well obviously I never got the memo
Well obviously you were never invited...

When he says to Ford “You’ve got McKay” he is already with his eyes on Elizabeth. I would actually say that John wasn’t able to take his eyes off Elizabeth once he sees her being taken by Kolya in the direction of the Stargate. I mean, and like you said, an hour ago Kolya told him Elizabeth was dead, then he found out she was alive. Now that he set his eyes on her, no way he is going to let her out of his sight or let anyone take her away from him/his sight.

I like this idea. Knowing she was alive changed everything, and only he could rescue her.

It really changed everything. One moment he was trying to turn off all the naquadah generators and do everything he could to make Atlantis not have power in order to stop the Genii, and then suddenly when he knows she is alive, he has to hurry to put everything back in order so that the Genii will not hurt her.

Not to spoil your Sparky-fun, but that's merely what a senior officer would do, right. Elizabeth's the most important person in that equation as the leader of the expidition, and while McKay isn't entirely useless to the Genii either, Ford is tasked to save him from his faith as labrat.

Different eyes see different things.

I think most of us here on this thread prefer to see things through Sparky eyes than with objective eyes. At least i do, most of times.

Agreed. Objectivity is highly overrated.

[Falcon Horus]

Just offering a different perspective of things...

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

Agreed. Objectivity is highly overrated.

In what concerns Sparky, I tend (most of times) to overlook objectivity.

Just offering a different perspective of things...

And I appreciate other perspectives, but here on this thread i think what really counts is what we see with Sparky eyes.

[Sparky She-Demon]

Cute, very cute, mandogater!

[Falcon Horus]

And I appreciate other perspectives, but here on this thread i think what really counts is what we see with Sparky eyes.

So, what you're saying is I should comply or die? Or in this case shut up and take my perspective elsewhere...

Just posting to see what Doctor Who character I am this weekend.

Drat, and here I was hoping to be River Song.
