Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Varda]

*Hugs back*

I hope you're feeling better, Varda.

How did things go with the rest of your finals?

Thanks for remembering about the pics. I hope you have a great time while in China.

Sure, I am! Massage works miacles to my neck and back

Everything went surprisingly well, thank you. The best part of it, that I passed my Classical Chinese exam; the rest of finals were much easier comparing to it.

I also hope so. If everything goes well, I'll leave Moscow on 28th July or so... I've started counting days already ;D

[Varda]

Scary Kitty, welcome back! I'm so glad to see you!

Eri13, this is beyond awesome! You literally made my night, thank you!)

[Annelantis]

OMG, Eri, that was bloody hilarious!

So looking forward to The Eye!

Thanks for giving me a great laugh. Have you done this with other episodes? I think I would like to see your version of Irresistible.

[Annelantis]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Smutty Tuesday! And... I'M BAAAACK! Did ya miss me?

Anyway, the Northwest was magnificent, with all the cool weather, pine trees, cute critters, and peace and quiet that I just don't get in LA. Hopefully I'll have a few pics up soon.

Just about finished with the laundry and getting stuff put away, and still have to get caught up on everything I missed while I was away, but just wanted to stop in and say hello and hug all of you! So... {{{{HUGS}}}}

But I couldn't resist this...



Nailed it! You are the master, as always.

Look!! Scary Kitty is back!


HELLOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sequoia Hope]

Eri, that was hilarious. Virtual green for you! Totally agree with Annelantis - we need one for Irresistable.

Scary Kitty, welcome back!

[Annelantis]

Here you go: (X) Feel free to look around.

And you're more than welcome to just call me Paradox. Mostly everyone I meet on gateworld does.

Paradox,

What a lovely site you've got going there. I have bookmarked it. Some of your pictures were lovely. My favourite is definitely the June 30th one. It's now my computer background - hope you don't mind. But I shall be visiting often, I can tell you.

[Annelantis]

I don't know why, I always assume everyone has read it. I forget not everyone reads fic on LJ.

Here is the link

http://stargate-ren.livejournal.com/

The entire fic is there, you have to go to the very first entry and start from there. The first story is Ascension of the Queen. I think it has pretty much every SGA and SG1 character in it but the focus is on Sheppard/Weir and omg, it's amazing.

Warning

Spoiler:

If you are a Jack/Sam shipper, this story pairs Jack with someone else. I can't remember if there is Sam/other but there is no Jack/Sam.

I just wanted to tell everyone who hasn't looked at this fic series that Luz recommended - go to it, got to it now!! It is bloody brilliant! You will not be disappointed.

[Annelantis]

Goodnight Sparkies!

2nd Half

Spoiler:

[EXT. MAINLAND - STORM IS ALMOST HERE]


Stupid Athosian KIDS Jumper two was waiting for finally figured out that storm = bad, and made their way back home. Audience laments that the future of the Athosian people lies in the hands of these guys and the one that gave away all Atlantis's secrets on Manaria.

FORD: Time to lift off.

BECKETT: WAIT! It's scary out there!!

FORD: Uh, if we wait any more we'll be in the middle of the storm.

BECKETT: So?

FORD: But the storm's at our backs and we're in a SWIFT FLYING MACHINE THAT WILL LET US OUTRUN IT.

BECKETT: That doesn't matter. Let's just sit here instead.

TEYLA and FORD look at each other and for some reason they decide to let the MEDICAL DOCTOR call the shots. The Audience wonders what happened to the radio.

[EXT. ATLANTIS, PIER, GROUNDING STATION FOUR - WINDY]

John gets down to the Grounding station, establishes for everyone how far that brisk walk was. Rodney and ELizabeth engage in a little McWeir while Sheppard listens in.

SHEPPARD: Any day now!

RODNEY: Since you're still considered capable at this point, I'm giving you advanced level instructions.

SHEPPARD: Look at this. Still mensa, for at least one more episode.

RODNEY: One down, one to go. Now run. The audience likes it when you do that.



[INT. OVERLOOKING THE ATLANTIS GATEROOM]

Single best conversation of secondary characters in the whole of the SGA universe shall be preserved in its entirety:

GUARD 1: Bacon.

GUARD 2: The one thing you brought with you is bacon?

GUARD 1: Hey, it's the food that makes other food worth eating.

GUARD 2: You wish you brought bacon to another galaxy?

Brilliant dialogue is now interrupted. Bacon soldiers forget all protocols and elect to lower the Gate shield without even bothering to clear it with any of the superior personnel, all three of which are still in Atlantis. They welcome in the well-disguised Genii, led by Kolya, who promptly shoots them.

AUDIENCE: Awwwww. Bacon dudes!

SORA: Why did you kill them? I'm only asking because I need to have an establishing moment of sympathy.

KOLYA: Wooo! Big City! And look! Windows!



[INT. MULTIPLE AREAS OF ATLANTIS/INTERCUT DIALOGUE BETWEEN SHEP/WEIR/MCKAY/GENII]

John is running to the Grounding Station. He hears reports of the incursion over the radio as Rodney and Elizabeth enter the Gateroom and run smack into Kolya.

WEIR (grabbed by the Genii): Who are you?

MCKAY: (looking appropriately peeved and not scared, for once in his life): Genii.

KOLYA: Doctor Weir. I will repeat that because it's kinda sexy how I say it. Doctor Weir.

WEIR: I agree.

KOLYA: And now we own Atlantis. Doctor Weir.


[INT. JUMPER BAY/INTERCUT INT. JUMPER ON MAINLAND ]

Sheppard has gone into full commando mode, which kinda excites the audience as he starts acting all kinds of awesome. He also confirms that the radio actually does work, which makes the crew in Jumper 2 look even more stupid for not radioing in earlier.

SHEPPARD: Ford, where the heck are you?

FORD: Uh, we decided to wait it out.

SHEPPARD: You decided to 'wait out' a storm that's covering 20% of the planet.

FORD: It was Beckett's idea.

SHEPPARD: Whatever. THe Genii are here and they've taken Weir and McKay hostage.

FORD: Ooo, that's not good. We're coming.

BECKETT: No, we're not. Lookit! Bad storm.

TEYLA: I agree, only on the principle that we absolutely have to let Sheppard have his commando moment. Sorry Major.

SHEPPARD: Right. Zero Dark Thirty here I come.



[INT. ATLANTIS GATEROOM - STORM STILL A-COMING]

Kolya takes a waltz around the Sheppard/Weir balcony, which angers Elizabeth even more than the sight of the bacon boys being carted off on stretchers. Though where the Genii are taking them, since they don't know the City, is beyond the audience.

WEIR: Who are you?

KOLYA: Acastus Kolya. Remember it well.

WEIR: Oh, I will. Though I do have to wonder why you've got it out for us. We can be friends.

KOLYA: Do I look like someone who was cast to be a friend?

WEIR: Point taken.

KOLYA: We need medical supplies, the Wraith Data thing that looks like a weird USB, oh, and all your C4, though I'm probably not entirely sure what that is.

WEIR: All of it? Talk about hostage situation overkill.

KOLYA takes a moment to flash a glare at McKay who was 'leaning' over the communications console to let Sheppard in on the news.

MCKAY: WHAT? I don't look suspicious just leaning!

KOLYA: No, but repeating everything I just said verbatim may have been a tip off. Take her to the place to get the stuff we need.

WEIR: You realize that's in three different places.

Sora hustles off Weir with a petulant look on her face.

Kolya (to McKay): Why are you here anyway? Wouldn't the most important personnel be evacuated first?

AUDIENCE: Wow. Dude's perceptive. He actually pointed out a decent quibble with the script.

MCKAY: Um, don't you ever watch this show? The leads always do everything. Duh.

KOLYA: Not buying it. As this is a PG show, we can't show what we're about to do but we can subtly imply it.

Soldier draws out a knife. Rodney gulps.



[INT. ATLANTIS LAB ]

Elizabeth is getting Sora the Wraith USB device. Sora looks even more petulant than she normally does.

SORA: Where is Teyla?

WEIR: Teyla? Ah. That makes you Sora. Cuz I totally didn't figure it out by the red curls and petulant expression.

SORA (petulantly): I WILL AVENGE MY FATHER!

Weir: Chill out, Hamlet. You'll get your chance. And trust me, the way you handle it, the fanboys will be pleased.



[INT. ATLANTIS ARMORY]

Genii soldiers find that Sheppard has curtailed their measure to get all the Atlantis C-4, which was all apparently stored in only one box. Clever.



[INT. CONTROL ROOM]


Elizabeth is examining Rodney's arm, which, to his credit, is actually bloody. Kolya learns how to use a Radio for the first time.

SHEPPARD: You let them go, I'll give you back the bombs. Capice?

KOLYA: Bombs? Who wants Bombs? I want Atlantis. Go, deactivate the grounding station.

SHEPPARD: And...I'm back to running.


[INT. JUMPER ON MAINLAND]

Teyla, Ford and Beckett are concerned they haven't heard back from the Major yet, despite the fact that it would be totally stupid during a hostage situation for him to be giving them play-by-play.

BECKETT: My question is, why would the Genii attack us?

FORD: Who knows? We only threatened them, exposed their operation, stole their gear and killed one of their top people. You know, the norm.

TEYLA: Only they believe falsely. I mean, about killing one of their top people. We did all the other things.

FORD: We need to get back.

BECKETT (who is not only a commander but now a nautical specialist and can tell wind speed, in knots, simply by looking out the Jumper windshield): No. We stay.



[INT. ELIZABETH'S OFFICE]

Kolya's apparently made himself comfortable at Elizabeth's desk. Elizabeth is escorted in by Sora.

ELIZABETH: Look, I'm the diplomat so I've got to get in at least one negotiation scene here.

KOLYA: Go ahead.

ELIZABETH: We can be friends.

KOLYA: Lovely try. A bit stupid at this point, though.

ELIZABETH: Okay. You realize you can't be an effective leader without someone to sit on your desk?

KOLYA: Right now I only have Sora and Ladon. I'll have to think about this.

ELIZABETH: Go ahead. Honestly, I'm just waiting for Sheppard to do his thing.

GENII SOLDIER: He's just about to.


[INT/EXT. GROUNDING STATION THREE - STORMS HERE!]


John checks the lifesigns detector and notes that there are two Genii spying on him. Rather than deactivate the panel, he opts to get into a firefight instead. The Genii soldiers miss him, but hit the control panel, which McKay has already warned in establishment is fragile. Also established is the fact that the Genii probably should have been taking target practice rather than training with sticks, because they have terrible aim.

JOHN: Now you broke the grounding thing. And we're going to have to listen to McKay gripe about how we're all going to die, which sort of pisses me off more than your shooting at me.

MCKAY (completely forgetting to be scared or injured now that he has a legitimate reason to complain): Now we're all going to die!

KOLYA: You killed two of my guys!

JOHN: You killed two of my guys! Even Stevens!

KOLYA: I don't think so. (He pulls out a pistol, and aims it at Elizabeth).

AUDIENCE (sitting up): Holy crap...

KOLYA: Say goodbye to Doctor Weir.

JOHN: You kill her I'll blow the City up!

KOLYA: Please, for once I'm a villain who isn't an idiot. Without her, I know you can't. Now say bye-bye.

JOHN: WAIT! PLEASE DON'T KILL HER! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!

SPARKY SHIPPERS (nose to TV): WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?!


John's cries of Kolya are drowned out by the storm as the City pans out to the absolute worst looking VFX of all of the Atlantis series run.


TO BE CONTINUED

The second part tomorrow...

This is great, Eri13!! I can't wait to read part 2.

[mandogater]

Sure, I am! Massage works miacles to my neck and back

Everything went surprisingly well, thank you. The best part of it, that I passed my Classical Chinese exam; the rest of finals were much easier comparing to it.

I also hope so. If everything goes well, I'll leave Moscow on 28th July or so... I've started counting days already ;D

You're welcome.

[mandogater]

TBH, I wasn't pay attention to what he was saying, so this escaped me. But it's a pretty silly mistake to make.

I really think somebody in TPTW fell asleep at the wheel with that one.

[Luz]

Eri, that was hilarious. Virtual green for you! Totally agree with Annelantis - we need one for Irresistable.

Scary Kitty, welcome back!

Speaking of Irresistible, I was watching the Stargate movie last night (which btw, stands the test of time, and movie Daniel is so hot) and one of the scientists was played by Richard Kind (Lucius Lavin). It's been so long since the last time I'd watched, I didn't know he was in it.

[poundpuppy29]

[ShipperWriter]

Welcome back, SK. Now the loonie bin is complete again.

And Eri, I am absolutely loving your Snark Recap! It's giving me ideas as to what I can do during the wait at the airport and the hour and a half plane ride on Thursday.

[Erin87]

OMG, Eri, that was bloody hilarious!

So looking forward to The Eye!

Thanks for giving me a great laugh. Have you done this with other episodes? I think I would like to see your version of Irresistible.

I can't recall if Eri did a snark version of Irresistible or not (though I definitely remember one of Lifeline that was absolutely hilarious), and I couldn't find it in a search, but if you're looking for laughs it's hard to beat zero point snark. (Sorry. I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I figured I'd answer anyway.)

Also, I come bearing another vid rec! This one's really well done and there's some cool moments when it looks like Lizzie was in Vegas.
