Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[gateraid]

Why am I still having issues with quoting or posting? *grrrrr*

Eri13, SR, I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Anyone else is welcome to misinterpret that

Good morning! Let's start the day right.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday!

Yes, I survived the Iron Man movie marathon yesterday and have now seen the glory of Iron Man 3. And my brain is still broken (in a good way!). So... I got nothing. (and yes, that is an IM3 reference, LOL!) I'll try to put the pieces of my brain back together, but in the meantime, I am loving the discussion on Elizabeth, and it's pinging certain ideas for SGA Rising (you people are such enablers, I swear ) that hopefully I'll get to unleash soon.

*waves, then melts into a puddle of happy goo*

The other day I spent a couple hours trying trying to find this con and I just found some bits on youtube. I love them both so much; the characters and actors.

On the subject of chemistry. I was making caps from Hot Zone and thinking of how tptb wanted Sheppard and Weir to have a more adversarial relationship, but the characters went somewhere else. In this episode they're at each other's throats the whole time, but the chemistry is so strong I'm either thinking "John is going to sleep in the doghouse tonight" or "they had to have some great make-up sex after this."

Maybe that's why they backed off. TPTB were afraid even more of us would starts shipping them and ruin their future plans. Morons.

I have another word for them, but since this is a PG-13 site I can't say it.

[ShipperWriter]

We're watching "Forrest Gump" in English class, and I'm struck with a plot bunny for John and Elizabeth.

How is that even possible???

Happy Friday, everybody!

Oh, I'm pretty sure it was a factor in writing Weir off. They didn't know what to do with her, yeah right. Not like they brought in other characters to do the same things Weir could have done, nope.

But it's still surprising that - loath as they were to give S/W a chance - they still alowed certain scenes to happen. Or maybe they're just that oblivious. Because there were were some ship tropes they wrote for them that to this day puzzle me. Like, really? You didn't want us to ship them and you wrote that scene in? Exhibit a. the "I have to and you know it" scene from The Siege II.

[Sparky She-Demon]

Happy Friday to you too!

I know that feeling and I just loved that whole scene.

There were way to many times when things were said and done that definitely went against what TPTB said, that scene being one of them, and then it’s also in ‘Conversion’ when Caldwell said “You two are pretty close, aren't you?”, that line always made me wonder why TPTB had it there because it can almost only be viewed in one way *sigh*. I think that it sucks that TPTB were so dead set against Sparky and refused to see what they had right there (though with TPTBs track record when it comes to romance maybe it was best that they let it be) but it was still sad and I don’t think that I would be so against it if it wasn’t because TPTB made it so obvious that they thought that a romantic relationship between them were almost ridiculous and that it wasn’t even a remote possibility.

[Sparky She-Demon]

Then how do TBTB explain "The Long Goodbye"?

I got a Sparky plot bunny from Castle this week, but luckily it's sleeping right now. Wait, what? Isn't this high school? Oh dear Aunt Gussie, has it come to this? What part of the curriculum could possibly be covered by this? I know it's May, but OMG.

Or the scene where he carries her to the infirmary? I mean really? One of the most romantic gestures in history and it's not shippy? Anyone remember Officer and a Gentleman? Oh, but that was different. John just carried Elizabeth because...ummm...everyone in the infirmary was too busy to bring a gurney for the LEADER OF THE CITY. Right.

Or The Real World, the entire episode. Nanites trying to take over and convince her Atlantis never existed, but their bond is so strong Elizabeth keeps feeling John's presence and he helps her escape.

These people obviously had no idea what they were doing when it came to relationships.

Loving the conversation. I'll jump in when I get home.

The curriculum that stems from FCAT (major state administered reading test) being over, they had a substitute, and the only thing they're doing is reading "Romeo and Juliet" and God knows they can't do it themselves because they will never comprehend it. I'm not kidding on that last part. The kids are just that dense and immature.

Oh, I'm not surprised. R&J is much too advanced for public high school kids. Of course they can't comprehend it. They probably can barely write a sentence. Now let's see them write an essay on the movie. Sure, that will happen. *waves cane*
