Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[drewandian]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Sparky!Family Saturday!

Hi drew! Long time, no see! Good to know you're doing well!



Heh, you and me got hit at the same time. *high-fives and passes over some chocolate*

*waves* I miss you guys! 14 more weeks of school...then I'll have all the time in the world (after work lol) to play!

and that makes three of us....ugh. (I'm super emotional; my kids made me cry twice today *sigh*)

Ah Criminal Minds. That's a show I never liked but ended up watching almost all of it anyway because it was on here so often and there was so much of it and was a way for me to spend an hour leisurely watching TV.

I once concocted the premise of a Criminal Minds/Transformers crossover for the sake of sheer randomness. Although I never wrote it.

I've caught eps over and and over again and finally decided I wanted to see the show in it's entirety. Of course now I have a favorite character and of course it's a character who doesn't stay. But I'm determined to see this through, despite that.

I'm still working on getting through S4 & 5 of SGA :/

I always thought it was a little amusing how any characters who left the unit in Criminal Minds were coincidentally replaced by other people who fit the same description.

My friend and I were talking about exactly this last night...i chalk it up to tbtb attempting to reach as large a demographic as possible.

Taking a Friday evening off of homework (long day, kids are here, no attention span lol) and popping in to say hello.

I've gotten myself all sucked into Criminal Minds and the way I'm fangirling and shipping and ficcing (I'm talkin' song fic :O ) reminds me of how I felt when I first started watching SGA and shipping Sparky. It's fun getting all excited about a show!

It also makes me miss you guys (I don't have anyone to flail over CM over)!!!

Hi Drew! How have you been?

[drewandian]

Hi mandogater! I've been all right...pretty busy with work (9 hour days in child care...I'm exhausted!) and school. Busy is good though, because it keeps me out of trouble. Also very excited that school is almost over for my kids - can't wait to start our summer schedule!

How are you?

[gateraid]

So let's see what character I am.... ETA - so I'm Jadzia Dax. Well, I have decided to be Jadzia BEFORE the intro of Worf and all the crap that followed.

Hmmm. I thought she hit her stride about half way through the second season. They had a tendency to make her a Jadzy-Sue at times, and it seemed the writers never quite got to grips with writing for 'both' characters (who was Dax, who was Jadzia). But if you'd asked me at the end of s6 which female character was expendable, it would have been Kira for sure (and Bashir overall).

Oh gateraid, you crack me up so much.

As do you

Like you, I watch Say Yes To the Dress, Atlanta (which I greatly prefer to the NY one) and the home shows. What always gets me on the home shows is when a couple is buying a million dollar house but complains because they don't like the paint color in one room. Dude, you're rich. You're buying a million dollar house. You have enough money to pay someone to paint a freaking room.

I don't like the NY one either. They get too many Bridezillas with horrible taste. I love Lori and Monty.

I hear you on the houses. I love the ones who live in a hovel that I wouldn't want to set foot in yet they complain that the million dollar house doesn't have a pool or something stupid like that. And the hovel in the Vancouver one sells for over $800k. Wow.

Maybe they thought we wouldn't notice.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!

Hmm, so I'm Kira Nerys. I think I'd rather be Jadzia. Freckles, yo.

Location, location, location.

Kinda like how SGA PTW thought we wouldn't notice when they tried to sweep Elizabeth under the rug?

Well that was a little different. Carter was supposed to be military and a scientist. And her relationship with the rest of the cast didn't quite replicate Elizabeth's. Plus she was replaced by Woolsey which broke the chain.

Criminal Minds more or less had a trio of very similar female characters fill the exact same slot in the cast. Between the three of them I don't think even their hair color changed as much as Weir to Carter's did.


Also Deep Space Nine TITLES! WOOOOOOOH! Deep Space Nine is one of my all time favorite shows, and now I can understand all the references without having to ask.

Who's Kira?

And rewriting the rules of acquisition is Ferengi, isn't it?

[mandogater]

Hi mandogater! I've been all right...pretty busy with work (9 hour days in child care...I'm exhausted!) and school. Busy is good though, because it keeps me out of trouble. Also very excited that school is almost over for my kids - can't wait to start our summer schedule!

How are you?

Nine hour days in child care? You are my hero. I help watch my 13 month old neice after work for an hour or so most days and I'm exhausted when she leaves.

Other than my niece wearing me out most days I'm fine.

[Infinite-Possibilities]

Kira Nerys. Bajoran. Military. If I remember right, she functions as the second in command of Deep Space Nine. Former Freedom fighter/terrorist during the Cardassian occupation of her homeworld.

And yeah the Rules of Acquisition are like the most important Ferengi legal document or something. It serves as a guideline for their culture.

Yep...I'm the head teacher in an infant room. I have 4 babies all between 2 and 5 months old in my care everyday. Between that, squeezing in time to go walking every night, Bible study and homework, I am exhausted! But it's that good kind of tired...the kind where you feel like you've made a difference that day when you lay your head down at night. (and it's about to get busier, as I get my boys every other week for the next three months )

[Falcon Horus]

What sort of homework? What do you study?

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday!

drew, you are a trooper!
