Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
Here's this week's College Football Roundup! It's a good day in Atlantis as Air Force smacked Morgan State 63-7, and Navy beat Colgate 48-10. USC clobbered Arkansas State 55-6, Georgia beat Louisiana Monroe 51-14, and Virginia Tech will be playing Ohio State on Monday evening (Go Hokies!).
Go Hokies indeed.

Oh, I read his comments on that, but, honestly, my love of the ship comes from the actors' input into their characters' interactions. I'm not relying on the writers to develop a good ship anywhere in Stargate; they either mess them up, shove them in my face, or completely ignore actual chemistry.
What I love about sparky is that people can totally take them as just friends if they want to; with other certain ships we can't do that, and it's extremely annoying, so ambiguity is fine. (Even though I swear the chemistry is there. )
Agreed. Although I do wonder what would have happened if they'd been told to portray ship. The instances where Joe had to seemed more awkward than enamouring. Again, perception.
No comment on Dark Matter, but I decided to watch the pilot of Killjoys just to see. At first I liked it and thought it might be a bit like Firefly, but as it went along I realized I didn't like any of the characters and there was no humor. Those are my 2 absolute musts for any show. If you like dark violence and murky moral situations, this is your thing. There is a badass female character I almost liked, so that might win you over.
I like murky moral situations, but in combination with liking the characters. BSG turned out to be one of my favourite ever shoes, but if they'd had any more focus on Kara & Lee I'd have chucked it in. I also have never heard of any of these shows. I am so out of the loop

And instinct. The scenes where the actors aren't compelled by the script to fake it turned out far more natural.

Indeed. Though I was more fed up with Baltar and Caprica Six.

To me, Battlestar's sort of a fascinating example of how different of a perspective people can have from watching the same content. I remember having quite a few strong opinions on various things by the end of the show, but they are often totally different from other people's are. Both about the show itself and the characters in the show. I've mentioned some of them elsewhere on gateworld. But at times both the show itself and some of the opinions I've read about it, felt so far diverged from what made any sense to me that they seemed insane. And I imagine the reverse would be true as well.
"First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"
Our condolences to Virginia Tech. Curse you, Ohio State!
Thanks. Not only did we lose but a 300 pound behemoth broke our quarterback's collar bone.

I think that's true about just about any show. We tried several times to get into BSG but it just couldn't hold our interest. Maybe it was because we watched and liked the original. I just didn't like any of the characters enough to care what happened to them.

The Tau of Rodney was just on TV here yesterday. It's always weird seeing old episodes I haven't seen in a while again. But even in a Rodney centric episode like that, there was enough John and Elizabeth being John and Elizabeth that it was another stark reminder of just how baffling it was for the showrunners to miss how much chemistry she had with him and the rest of the cast.
