Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[ShipperWriter]

The head cold from Hades has still not gone away. And none of the symptom relieving medicine is working anymore. Think I'm heading to the doctor after work today.

I think that happens in Broken Ties. I know I remember it from an earlier postathon. In the Prodigal she walks the halls with the doll baby, hiding from Michael plus some other stuff.

I can't remember the episode where Teyla hands off Torren to Woolsey, but I remember "The Prodigal" for the RC racing scene with John and Rodney. I kinda blocked out everything else.

You should see for yourself. Perhaps you like it, but most of us didn't. I was a proud member of the Anti-Season 5 thread for good reasons. *raises stinky sock* (*)

Perhaps in those days, GW would have been better off not having me around to deal with.

(*) stinky sock reference known only to insiders

I had a hiatus in between the season 4 premiere and the middle of season 5, which I think was due to lack of cable and internet, but I could be wrong. I liked it because at the time, I was mourning Sparky, not fully aware that this thread existed, and I desperately needed another ship to sail. I picked McKeller because it was available.

I digress. But I get the feeling with a lot of S5 episodes that they were pulling ideas out of the "we abandoned this idea years ago because it was stupid but since we're already cancelled it can't hurt to write a whole episode about it" hat. Although I need to go back and watch "Inquisition". I don't remember watching it in the first place but I remember a cute picture of John in the jail cell with a slight puppy dog expression.

ETA: Here it is!!!

Why waste the money?

If you're gonna download any of the episodes, download "Vegas". Totally worth it.

Of course we get to see him in major whump mode right?

[ShipperWriter]

Oh yeah. A lot of running, a lot of guns firing, and I mean, they lead you to believe that

Spoiler:

he dies at the end, so major whumpage is implied,

but it's just a great AU story done in universe.

[Sparky She-Demon]

Was that the last good episode?

[ShipperWriter]

Just because ...



Anyhow, off to lunch. At 10 fricking o'clock in the morning. I hate school lunch times...

*lurks*

[ShipperWriter]

Was that the last good episode?

The one after it is the finale. So yeah.

[Sparky She-Demon]

The one after it is the finale. So yeah.

Argh! So what happens after the finale? Does the rewatch start up again?

[Falcon Horus]

Why waste the money?

Then download it illegaly... no money wasted, just space on your 'puter. You don't like, you just delete it again.

I only like the music of that episode.

If you're a Sheppard fan, it is very enjoyable. I only watched it because someone here has a pic from that episode on their sig and I was like, Sheppard looks specially yummy, I must watch this.

[ShipperWriter]

I dunno. If we do another rewatch, I don't know if everyone would want to go all the way through again. Maybe we start a poll of the 5 or 10 Sparkiest episodes and rewatch those? Just an option.

Or take a break. Since some people might enjoy having their Sunday mornings/afternoons/evenings back.

No Teyla and no Kate. Understandable.

I think we all agree with that sentiment.

[Falcon Horus]

Sad to say those are not even the primary reasons I don't like that episode. And no Kate is applicable to the entire 5th season.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday!

Oh dear, that sounds bad. Going to the doctor is a good idea. *sends more tissues and hot tea*

Yeah, it's always fun to see John locked up.

Vegas is the one truly shining moment in S5.

Heh! Yeah, I think I'd like to have a bit of a break once we're done. The remaining episodes will take us through December, so we've got time to figure out what we'd like to do next.

Yeah, thank God for no cost medical insurance.

True dat.

That's true. The marathon has consumed a good portion of time over the last couple of years. Plus, it'll give us more time to work on fic.

Working on fic is always a good thing!
