Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
You do realize we tiptoe'd very close near the border of the land of eternal banishment from the forum, right. I mean, infractions happened left, right and center. Moddings were a daily business and postcount constantly went up and down due to the deletion of whole conversations (or arguments in the shape of a dialogue). Socks were created (different socks then the ones from the Stinky Sock Association) and rained hellfire and brimstone on all who did not think as they did.
It was all out WAR!!
Oh the socks. I had almost forgotten about the socks. Weren't they fun? And they thought nobody knew. And then there were the ones who acted all nice and innocent here and then went totally bad news on other forums, so that when some people reacted here they got in trouble instead of the truly guilty. Oh yeah, I miss those days.

I was so excited when my first posts got deleted by the mods. I felt like I'd finally arrived.
Anyway, howdy all! There's some cute gifs going around on Tumblr from The Lost Boys (I think... or The Hive?) where Lorne comes through and Elizabeth mentions how Sheppard's team hasn't checked in. That was such a cute scene. Lorne totally knows all about the Sparky.
Haha! I saw those, they were so stinkin' awesome. As well as the ensuing conversation.
Ship wars, character wars, anti-wars, my-group-is-better-than-your-group wars, bashing, bad-mouthing, anti-talks.... The Stinky Sock Anthem... Take your pick!
Edit: Actually the Stinky Sock Anthem was funny and a reaction to it all. It's probably still floating around somewhere in the Anti-season 4 or 5 thread in the SGA forum. I still have it.
I remember I missed the Daniel Jackson/Jonas Quinn wars by a hair's breath when I first came to GW.
Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
True dat. There are some amazing fic writers on this thread, as evidenced by the fact that many of the writers for SGA-Rising like the pairing of Sparky and yet wrote several episodes where it was not featured, Elizabeth wasn't even seen, and they paired John with Mayel. They didn't write based on their preference, and it was still an amazing piece of work.
I wish some RL script writers could be more like that.
I really need to get back into reading Atlantis Rising.

He totally knows. When he started backpedalling may have been one of the funniest moments of the entire franchise for me.

I'm betting the rumor mill went into meltdown after that. Same with Chuck's secret betting pools.
Lorne didn't wanna risk coming face to face with the Eyebrow of Doom.
Chuck is a very rich man if he's skimming the profits off the betting pools. Lord knows there was enough to bet on, between Sparky eyesex and McKay's propensity for blowing stuff up. And Radek's homemade swill, can't forget about that.

*glares at plot bunnies* You're supposed to be helping me with SGA Rising, not giving me other ideas!
That sounds like a good idea for a fic/SGA-R filler ep. *winkwinknudgenudge* Have Shep's team get in trouble and Lorne and Co. have to save the day.
Oh. Hello fic bunnies.
*glares at plot bunnies some more* That wasn't the SGA-R fic I had in mind...

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon.Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.
"Radek, we've discussed this. I cannot allow you to use materials delegated for use in the science department so that you can run a distillery. What do you think this is, M*A*S*H?"
"If you allow it to continue, I'll replace Colonel Sheppard's beer with it so he gets extremely drunk."
"Deal."
