Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Scary Kitty]

My moments were from every season except 5. I think you would have enjoyed the season 5 "critique" thread back when the show was airing. We had a lot of fun and it was kind of like therapy to help us get through the season.

Heh!

And my list has been sent. I had a grand total of ONE Sparky moment. *pauses for everyone's gasps of shock*

Anyway, I had one moment from Season 5, one from Season 3, and three from Season 1. Gimme that classic SGA, baby.

I, too, only had one true Sparky moment on my list. Although a couple others were close...

Season one still remains my favorite even though I generally prefer Ronon to Ford and a lot of great Sparky happens in the later seasons. If I had to pick my top 5 episodes, 3 would probably come from this season.

ETA: Harry Potter weekend has begun! Being a Charms Master would in RL would be cool!

Gotta agree with that. Ah, the good ol' days...

Hmm, seems I'm a Runes Teacher. Gee, does that explain my obsession with Japanese anime?

Farscape fans, when did the show hook you?

I only started watching Farscape cause I'd be meeting Gigi Edgley at a Firefly convention. And we were also curious about Ben Browder and Claudia Black so that's why... I was hooked pretty much from the start. The only thing that made me cringe every single time until the very end of the show, was the intro theme.

would Elizabeth's Reaction to john being fed on by a wraith be a dramatic moment or an angst moment?

[Falcon Horus]

Depends on how you look at it, but I would say that's definitely angst on her part. It's dramatic moment but it leans closer to angst than it does to real drama.

it's just for me, angst and drama are hard to figure out. i think i may have to watch atlantis again to figure it out.

I know what you mean.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

I know what you mean.

all i gotta say is well played. you going to make me really think long and hard about this. and why are the ranks now harry potter stuff?

[Falcon Horus]

You going to make me really think long and hard about this.

Trust me when I say I have to really go deep to check my archives.

...and why are the ranks now harry potter stuff?

It's the theme of August, in honor of the franchise ending... a lot of us grew up with these films and books.

I'm already an assistent to Dumbledore (he'll always remain the headmaster of Hogwarts) and I'm the keeper of a Horcrux.

I'm just posting to see what my HP rank is. I got nothing. Except that Sparky has proven through all 5 years to be canon ship. That is all.

You're a dragon tamer so I guess that means you're out in Roumania with Charlie Weasly, taming Norwegian Ridgebacks or something.

*snort* Mr. SR just wandered in and I tried to explain the HP titles. *sigh* Now I have a headache.

He needs to stay in his room because I am trying to write Sparky smut. And I sure don't want to have to explain that. Yes, you heard right. And it may have an actual plot.

[Scary Kitty]

Good afternoon, Sparkies! Happy Sparky!Family Saturday!

Gonna finally see Cowboys and Aliens later today.

I'm just posting to see what my HP rank is. I got nothing. Except that Sparky has proven through all 5 years to be canon ship. That is all.

And really, that's all anyone needs to know.

Dragon Tamer is an awesome rank, by the way.
