Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Scary Kitty]

Exactly! We've gotta let Torri know how long her hair needs to be. Or at least make her a season appropriate wig.

Eh, we probably don't need a wig, just curl her hair a little more and strategically pin it back for a few episodes. I think that's what they did for No Man's Land and Misbegotten to match it up to her shorter hair in Allies.

Before I go off to play with molten steel, I lean toward post EATG. I might have to post my notes for my longer fic when I get back home. (Let's just say Lizzie back and she's really *BEEP*ed off...)

[Southern Red]

In that case, I'd like to also volunteer for the costume department. I have a BA in Theatre with an emphasis in Costume Design, and I know how to use it! (in other words, no more damn leather. And the gawd-awful Star Trek wannabe uniforms from S4-5 are going straight to the incinerator.)

Thank you merciful Jesus. In rewatching Farscape I have noticed the wonderful costumes. The episode with the blue people had the most gorgeous outfits with intricate beading and style that was out the wazoo. The cast of Braveheart look got really old on SGA too. And don't get me started on the maternity outfits. OMG. And how about no more burlap?

Monday morning's first order of business is the list of S6 episodes...are we sticking with the Home reboot or are we sending Atlantis out of SF Bay and back to Pegasus? Let me clarify so I've got everything in order for the official minutes...

I've been thinking about my Home story and I think if we tried something like that we would get bogged down real fast because it would seem like a rerun. I'm open to a post-EATG scenario.

Our first meeting will have to be organizational. But to start here's what we have to date:

Showrunner: Southern Red
Administrative Assistant/Actor Liaison: Probie
JF's Personal Assistant: nephtys59
Shipper Liaison: Anuna
Continuity Coordinator/Meeting planner/Torri's PA: Eri13
Security Chief/Costume Manager: Scary Kitty
Security Deputy Chief/Claire Rankin's PA: Falcon Horus
Security Deputy/Crowd control officer: pkprd869
Writers:
Southern Red
Anuna
Eri
Scary Kitty
Pkprd

Anyone else want to be a writer? And we still need: PR people, and makeup. I'd like someone who can make more realistic aliens please. What else?

[Falcon Horus]

This already sounds like a kick-ass team...

We need a photographer to get the best photo-ops for cast pictures... don't forget great cast pictures.
Not the horrible photoshopped horribles.

[Probie]

Stupid question but....It's me or this forum has changed. I'm lost.lol

It's not just you... VBulletin upgraded.

Good idea. And we also will need lots of behind the scenes shots. Any volunteers?

And I guess we have a new format. So far I'm not impressed. Smaller font. Hard to read and too white. And everything is in a different place. *flails* I hate change.

[Falcon Horus]

I hate change.

GW PTB took a lesson from PTB page of "What isn't broken, doesn't need changing" - so change it anyway.

[Probie]

I almost yell at my father, thinking he had hit something on the computer. You saved his life.lol

I hate change too. 2 minutes to find how I can quote you.lol
And I love my new job, mommy. Love working for you....for the moment.

Ugh, definitely no more burlap. All military personnel will be following Sheppard's example and wearing BDUs, like they should've been all along. All civilian personnel will be going back to a modified version of the S1-3 uniform, but with BDU-style trousers, so they've got those nice big pockets for carrying around extra gear (PDAs, penlights, spare PowerBars in McKay's case). Hey, this is a scientific expedition. They're supposed to be wearing functional clothes, not fashion runway rejects!

Pegasus native costuming will stop looking like it's been slept in for a week in a gutter. Styles, of course, must remain cognizant of the fact that most populations have been held to a pre-industrial technological level due to repeated Wraith culling, but by the Ancestors, yes, the Braveheart look is out. The neat and tidy quasi-17th to 18th century farmer/merchant wear from the Genii will be a good model to start with. Linen, wool, some leather for accessories and coats will be appropriate. But no more leather bondage gear. (Larrin, this means you!) *headdesk*

I'm willing to work on makeup if no one else is (yeah, I took classes in that at USC as well). Since most of the inhabitants of Pegasus originated from the Ancients' seeding of humanoid life, they'll probably remain in that silhouette. For more "alien" looking aliens, I suggest we contact the Henson Studios; their puppetry work on Farscape kicked ass and took names.

This already sounds like a kick-ass team...

Word! Henceforth, all promotional cast photos will return to the S1-3 tradition of being taken on set. I'd also like to suggest more action-oriented, 'slice of life' type shots as a bit of a change from standing straight and staring into the camera. For example, McKay and Zelenka in a lab poring over their computers, looking up as if the observer has just walked in. Similar shots in the conference room, or the mess hall would be a nice change of pace as well.

I'm a bit calmer. I went and read some of the thread about vBulletin and got a few laughs. Poor Darren.

My husband, among other things, designs web sites for a living. He designed this site: World Bank and is responsible for keeping it up and running 24 hours a day. Needless to say he is empathetic to GW right now. LOL Pleasing everyone, especially people from multiple cultures, is never possible.

What do you mean for the moment? I can cut off your contact with certain actors, you know. Do you do photography? We need a studio photographer.

It seems the "reply with quote" function doesn't shut off once you've made your post. And my first post in this new format is all smooshed over. Grrr.

[nephtys59]

Do you already have an idea of how to bring Elizabeth back? And do you plan to let things restart at end of Season 5? Because if the first answer is NO and the second one is YES, I have an idea.
I would have like to write a fanfic but ... I'm not THAT good in english ... and I'm not good in techno-babble thing, so if you're interested I can expose my idea and you can check if it's good or not

Good ideas. I will make you the makeup supervisor and we'll call Henson. And can we get all military personnel to wear dog tags and go to salute training? Plus learn that you don't do hand signals and talk at the same time?
