Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[mandogater]

Yes my friend but not this year. This year is awful but it's not the end.

Too many guys jump ship during the last transfer window or did they just get off to a horrible start? If I remember right didn't they go deep in the Champions League last season?

[mandogater]

Oh, John does what John always does--listens and chimes in when he gets his arm twisted. Woolsey's the one who rocks the conference, though their is a key John moment that's pretty good if I say so myself. <-------*iz humble*

Good, I can't wait to read it!!! I tried to green you and they want let me, so huge mental green!

Yes my friend but not this year. This year is awful but it's not the end.

Well yes they reached the last four in the Champions League last season.

I am a little curious though. Given your passionate feelings on the French national team Probie, I was wondering if you preferred watching the French League of Portuguese League.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Screw the Angst Wednesday!

I think I'm gonna go find some cracktastically fun Sparky fics to rec for y'all. I'll have 'em for you later today.

With our wonderful participation during the last World Cup, some players were fired. Some are injured and the coach is not really good. There is a little war between fans and Claude Puel. We always have a horrible start but this year is worse. We can't beat small team.
We lost against Barca.

Both. I didn't watch a lot the French league those years because Lyon is the winner each year but 2010 is interesting because we are 14th. Our "enemies" are the leaders. I also watch the Portuguese league.
But to be honest, I prefer the English league or Spanish league. There is more competition. And I'm a fan of Mourinho.lol
I also prefer the champion league. I love football. I love sport.

I'm fine. I try to find a way to take my train for Paris (when I will go in Sweden) without trouble. We just receive a beautiful message of love from Mister Ben. After the strikes, now I will have to "fight " against Vigipirate (France's national security alert system).
And you?

I want to read fanfics. Maybe someone can post some links? I'm lazy

Yeah, my iPod hasn't been quite the same since the last update.

Anyhow, just read those other two fics. John as a puppy ... OMG, ROFL!!!!!! I'm seeing another fic. Rodney as a cat. Or a donkey. Can't figure out which one fits better. Too many @$$ jokes on the last one ... Hee!

Getting ready to post new angsty fic. Brought to you in part by Taylor Swift's new CD.



Yeah. I deserved that.

So I was reading JM's blog from a couple of years ago, looking for something bout Elizabeth, and I found this delightful little sob story:

Spoilered bcuz it's the original draft scene of John and Elizabeth's walk through the woods in "This Mortal Coil". Angst. Whodathunk?!

Spoiler:

The Sheppard-Weir walk and talk: In the original draft, the conversation played out slightly differently:

#Duplicate Weir: “I can empathize. Quite literally, a part of me is gone and I can't tell you how sad that makes me. But the part of me that's still here wants me to tell you that Elizabeth isn't gone; that she's right beside you whether you want to accept it or not.”

Sheppard:“From what I understand of all this, you are her in almost every way. And I wish I could take some comfort from that, but I can't. I'm sorry.”

Duplicate Weir: “I didn't expect this to go any other way. From the moment I learned the truth, I knew there'd be no going back to the way things were. Not for me. Not for any of us.”

Sheppard: “That doesn't mean you can't be a part of Atlantis in some way. You can still contribute. Things will just be different.”

Duplicate Weir: “To be honest with you, John, that isn't really the issue. I guess what really bothers me is knowing you and the others will always consider me as less than what I really am.”

Sheppard: “Eliz - look that's not true.”

Duplicate Weir: “Of course it is. You can't even say my name.”

They walk in silence.

Duplicate Weir: “Because it's not your name. Not really. That's what you're thinking right now. And I don't blame you, John. But if you could get inside my head, you'd know - I am the Elizabeth Weir you knew. In every way.”

Sheppard doesn't have an answer for that.

And the end scenes:

Spoiler:

On the run: Did you record the episode or buy it off I-tunes? If so, play the Sheppard-Dupli-Weir run from the explosions in slo-mo. See that look of utter terror on Joe Flanigan’s face? Terrific acting you say? Well, I heard that on the day, those explosions were a little too close for comfort according to Joe. On the bright side, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Joe run so fast.

Also, it’s a little thing, but there’s something about seeing Weir hitting the dirt and Sheppard stopping to help her up before resuming their run that I love every time I see watch this episode.

The puddle jumper is shot down while the real team makes good their escape: The question I’ve seen asked is “Why did all of the duplicates sacrifice themselves in the puddle jumper?” The answer is: because they didn’t think they’d necessarily be sacrificing themselves. Although their intention was to draw the replicators away from the gate so that the real team could get away, the duplicates were attempting to escape themselves.

The final scene: Closure. I wanted to make it clear that John had not given up on Elizabeth until the very end. And neither did Rodney.

[Scary Kitty]

Gah! Stop changing your posts while I'm in the middle of replying to them!

There's another fic in the same "transmogrified into an animal by Ancient technology gone whacko: Unexpected Vacation, by miera. Only this time, both John and Elizabeth get zapped!

Yeah. Shocking that Mallozzi got it for once, isn't it?
