1) I know this is old hat for some of us, but which was the episode that absolutely confirmed your Sparkiness?
38 Minutes made me think of a possible ship (was it SK who used the expression 'taking sparky for a test drive'??) as it played very flirty (as did the Misbegotten scene) but other than that, I guess I found a more general slow burn. Maybe TRW - IDK, you can rationalise the actions there as caring very strongly for someone without it being shippy per se, but it was interesting that it was only Shep that she saw, not a combination of everyone.
2) What do you think is the Sparkiest episode of all, in your opinion, and WHY?
Common Ground. The tacit approval to kill Kolya is a bit of a jump from her previous dealings with foes, as well as going out on a limb with Laden/the Genii. I'd also add First Strike, although it's not romantic shippy exactly, as it seems like they were so in step with each other up until then, and are genuinely surprised by each other's stance in this ep. On John's side, I'd go with Adrift, the John/Keller scene.
3) We've all grumbled about Common Ground and Conversion not having Sparky closing scenes. What OTHER episode would you have loved to have seen a Sparky moment in (not just the end, but in general) and what would it be?
BAMSR, as it would mean they found Weir
Phantoms, although in the context of the ep, the convo at the end has to be Teyla/John. I think that ep is one of the best standalones SGA did s1-3, a pity Weir was barely in it
4) Which other character do you think has the best understanding of the John/Elizabeth relationship, and why? Point to a scene in an episode where they confirm their appreciation of the Sparky bond.
Rodney = clueless is really easy, but given the closeness of the three of them, it isn't really true. Trinity is a good example, The Defiant one is similar. Caldwell & Carson have picked up on it too.
5) If John and Elizabeth had a conversation about the scene in Lifeline where she orders him to go, and he leaves her in contradiction to his 'mantra', what do you think they would say to each other? What would be his excuse for 'leaving her behind'? What would she do to console (or chastize) him for it? (I'm asking this in part because there WILL be a scene like this in Primum Movens). [/QUOTE]
John: are your legs glued on or something?
I think it would be reaffirmed that the right call was made, although I think the convo would head towards no rescue effort being made at all. It had never occured to me until these questions that they never checked on her during BAMSR (how long would it have taken for them to copy some files??) and just assumed that the replicators killed her the instant they left the hallway.
Go the lemming Maybe we will have to start one of those Where In The World pages like they did for the General Hammond dolls
