Let me know if the link doesn't work. I'll try to do a prettier one tonight- anyone got a good pic of Liz smiling? (looking at camera?)
Originally posted by Zandra's Ashes View PostHere's one more- the tango! Bonus points because 'Lizabeth is in a hot red dress! Only prob is she looks good, but now Shep looks funny. Oh well, got to stop these on my lunch break, maybe if I took a minute they could both look normal in the same vid. For tonight- I'm considering the strip tease vid! LOL! I need Liz pics *begs shamlessly*

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

Originally posted by Southern Red View PostDay 31: How it should have ended
Believe it or not, this is a tough one. Given that you can't change anything in canon, we have to start at the end of EatG. First of all, it would have to be a two-parter. Secondly, we'd see everybody who matters come out to the balcony, including Kanaan, Torren, Lorne, Zelenka, Marie, Chuck, and anybody else who had a name.
Then after they slowly all went away leaving John alone, I would have Rodney and Zelenka approach him and tell him there was something he needed to see. They would lead John to a stasis pod inside of which we would find Elizabeth. The real Elizabeth. Yelling occurs. R and Z explain that they were afraid to tell him until they were sure that it really was her and that she could survive. John is happy and mad at the same time. And now, they tell him, they are ready to wake her up. They do it in secret. She gets debriefed, briefly. Hee. And the final scene is at night with her and John standing on the balcony. She says "You know, this is going to get us in all sorts of trouble, right?" And he laughs and bumps her shoulder. The End.
Originally posted by Eri13 View PostI promised to try and do this meme, so I'm going to give it a shot, though my answers will probably be concise (which will probably be a relief). I'm going to play catch up and play with Kittysince I don't remember the whole list and I can't find it.
Day the First: Your favorite character
This is easy--hands down Elizabeth. She was a rather rare female character for sci-fi, which is unusual given that sci-fi is often known for breaking down barriers. But Elizabeth also did not fit into an archetypal female for science fiction; she was a rarefied character in that she was the leader of the expedition and for some oddball reason, no one batted an eye, really, at that. The debate came more on the decisions she made and how her femininity affected them rather than whether she, as a female, should be a leader. Considering the heavy military presence and the big baddie being of the life-sucking monster variety, it's rather extraordinary that her leadership was accepted and never really challenged either on-show or off. Anytime it was, it was the big 'civilian' versus 'military' debate, not the 'woman' versus 'man' debate. And as a woman, she proved her salt more than once.
But by being a female, she had a great presence of civility and decorum that allowed the Expedition Head to blend in amongst the group. She was a strong leader, but approachable, and never felt aloof or untouchable. The saddest failure on the part of the PTB is the failure to understand that, like Atlantis, Elizabeth was a key character in the show, not a secondary one. Her presence in every episode should have made that clear--she was a necessity in terms of story--but for some reason she, like the city, was overlooked as the years wore on. Trapped in their old standard of off-world exploration as a focal point, TPTB wrote both Elizabeth and the City into the background rather than keep them spotlit in the foreground. They were both misused, but at the end of the day, the City was a necessity for a show called Atlantis, so it survived. Elizabeth wasn't, and as a regular character, did not. /F-A-I-L.
Day the Second: Your favorite episode
Also easy: THE EYE. Easily the episode that hooked me, easily the episode that solidified Sparky for me, and easily the episode that elevated my expectations for Atlantis. Though there are many things about The Eye I like (and only one I don't--the catfight, which I thought was stupid with tsunamis roaring about) there is one predominant moment that trumps all the others. And that was, quite simply, John's reaction to the words 'Weir is dead'.
After seeing The Storm, I had a hope, but not an expectation, that the writers would go so far as to have John believe Elizabeth was dead. When Kolya bluffed to John, I was excited and eager to see what he would do, and DARM did he deliver! Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see Sheppard go so ballistic over believing he'd lost Elizabeth. 60+ men killed in revenge of her--and one brilliant moment of realization that she was actually alive and well. It was amazing and gave me great hopes for Atlantis. *sigh* Though it unfortunately did not pan out, The Eye itself is still my go to episode when I need a good pick-me-up.
