Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Southern Red]

Yeah, what was up with Rodney being afraid of the whale? Sheesh.

That whole opening bit with a sulky Ronon whining about how Radek's experiment totally ruined his hunting was hilarious!



Me, I just had an In-N-Out cheeseburger. Mustard fried with grilled onions. Gotta love the Secret Menu. Carnivores unite!

Ah Echoes. I love it so. A bit of ship for almost everybody. I used to say that was my fave of the series, until Vegas. Echoes clearly shows the friendships of all the characters too. Radek and Ronon camping? The boys hanging out. The girls acting like they were friends. Elizabeth and John exchanging knowing glances while Rodney babbles. Rodney all playful. Spanky. And John doing his Richard Gere impression. Good times.

They mention that in the commentary. Waring says "hey, that's just like An Officer and a Gentleman!" Only interesting part of the whole commentary.

Ah, that's our John Sheppard. An officer, and a gentleman. Lizzeh's officer and gentleman, that is.

Lovely rec! Everything Bil writes is awesome!



Lately everything I watch, I think about inserting John/Elizabeth in. This weekend it was Farscape's "John Quixote" and Voyager's "Resolutions". Damn, would Joe and Torri have eaten up both those scenarios. Wish I was a writer. Someone wanna write that for me?

Night shippers!

Even though I've actually watched Voyager, I had to look that up. That was back in the Jeri Taylor years, one of her Ode to Janeway eps. It was the one where Janeway & Chakotay go camping. Chakotay gives her a massage and she practically has an orgasm, then she tries to play with a monkey. Not Chakotay's. An actual monkey.

Janeway: I think we'd better go back inside. With your wooden performance, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish you from the trees

Stop sounding like Mr. SR. it's just confusing me.

There have been volumes written on romantic imagery, which is quite different from overt romance. Think about movies that show a couple in situations with swelling violins and slowly revolving cameras and/or emotional moments between just the two of them. Now, in most of these movies, the couple ends up together in the end, but since the writers who created SGA were not very competent in showing, not telling, we got no happy ending. However, romantic situations can be found. These are moments that make the average female go "ahhhhhhh". Hope that helps.

I think that scene should have been romantic, but as you've illustrated below, the one prior (where he keeps looking at her) is probably moreso. I don't think they meant it to be, hence why I struggle with finding five scenes *shrug*

*drumroll please*

Elizabeth, we're not ready yet, what are you doing here?

I'm not really sure. Ronon mentioned something about you having a big tool that I needed to inspect

Oh gateraid, I've missed you.

Each time she held her hand out to the monkey (the actual monkey) I kept thinking "stupid woman, put food in your hand!"

As long as he didn't mention monkeys. He was watching Voyager the other night. Suggested I build you a bathtub.

Probably better she didn't get infected with another disease - Jeri Taylor must not have seen Outbreak

Make sure it's big enough for two

Really?!!

I like a lot of leg room

Oh

*raises hand* By most dramatic are you meaning an bam! instant dramatic moment (eg a reveal of something) or more like a longer emotional scene (say, a goodbye to someone or something)? I have a list right now, but it has some from column A, and some from column B

Lizzie, check your computer, I sent you an IM

Got it. If you were a website, you'd be www.beautiful.com Aww. Okay, you can join me in the bathtub tonight

Edit: Phew! I had a terrible thought when I realised that was an actual link, wondering if I'd accidentally posted the link to a porn site. Not this time Although it does redirect you to a site called PG.com

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

Was watching SG-1's episode 2010 last night and I was wondering what John and Elizabeth were upto? Did Atlantis even exist in that timeline?

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday!

Nice to see you around, gateraid! And very good to see you haven't lost your touch. Heehee!

So colonel, how long can you hold your breath?
*big grin*


Clearly, gateraid is a bad influence on me. Bwahahaha!
ps - your edit reason was hilarious!

Hey, that's one of the non-Vala SG-1 episodes I've actually seen! Ummm, I'll say they were kicking ass out in Atlantis and then had a lot of sex to help the population increase.

Oh no, you've got that all wrong. gateraid is a GOOD influence on us. Muahahaha.

Seconding that!

Gee, looks like we're getting off to an early start for Smut Day. *rubs hands together* I wonder what we can come up with for tomorrow...

yeah well, if atlantis did exist, i wonder what Sheppard and Weir thought of the aschen, their "Saviors". i am personally glad that is one timeline in the SGU that we avoided. it sounded like a dark one.

[Falcon Horus]

Thanks, Falcon, for doing this. Some sugar for you.

*digs in*

Falcon, thanks for putting together the poll. Loved being reminded of some of the good stuff that has happened on our show.

You're welcome.

Question regarding the dramatic moment poll. I can think of things I consider more angsty than dramatic. Can we do a separate poll for those moments?

After drama comes angst... there's plenty of stuff to make polls about so sure we can do that.

I probably would never have thought of #18, but it was surprisingly romantic for Rodney.

That's one of mine - indeed as far as Rodney goes that's quite romantic to do.

However you wish to interpret is fine.


And I'm back from my three-day trip along the shores of Normandy (France).
