Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday!

Good morning Sparkies!

Awww, SQUEEE!

It looks like Sparky had a good night.

I'd say so!

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.

You and me both. This is why I choose to stay away from his blog as much as possible these days; too stressful.

Notice that he goes into detail on how he never watched the finished product until he watched it for his recap. I think all that time has made him forget a few things. Plus, you have to know that JM likes to mess with the fans. In the old days he would say something totally ridiculous and controversial just to rile us up, particularly about shipping. And also he's just one voice among many. Thank heavens that he was overruled a number of times.

And yes, you won't hear him talk about what a good acting job JF did. It will be interesting to see how he deals with Common Ground and Phantoms. Be ready to get angry again. The only thing JM has accomplished is to make all shippers hate him.

Amen to that.

Hello everyone!


I was reading through Joseph Mallozzi's blog (though no comments yet just what he said and a few thing I must admit made me both laugh and roll my eyes:



I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.



I’m with the others on this; I always felt that they spent so much time in the beginning to separate the two shows that when they started to bring the two together more it got a bit weird. I also gotta say "Critical Mess" was priceless.



She’s awesome but she was put in a tight spot, it was also obvious by the conversation that she had with John afterwards that she felt guilty and terrible about it so I’d say she’s forgiven.

I put most of what he said about 'The Long Goodbye' here:



Again it’s like we were watching two different shows, I always thought it was obvious why he agreed to let Thalan possess him, it was for the simple reason that he thought that it was Elizabeth that asked him. Nothing about the kiss between them nor about the end scene and the fact that unlike in say 'Conversion' we at least didn't have John say that he wasn't going to think about it again. I defiantly did agree with that last part though.
There are a few more things in this about THAT line, you know which one I means, but since he refused to acknowledge the hole plot in ‘Conversion’ I’m going to ignore this one, I must say though that I’m a bit curies to see about what he will say about 'TRW'

I also noticed that he said a similar thing about ‘Epiphany’ as he said about ‘Sanctuary’, I guess it was because it was a John episode and maybe even a bit because Joe himself had something to so with it.
He also brought up the gateworld fan awards but didn’t say much about our choices, especially when it was shown that our top 3 season 1 episodes were ‘The Eye’, ‘Before I Sleep’ and ‘The Seige pt 2’, they were my favorite episodes anyway.

Oh well, it is pretty amazing how much the oppinions grwos appart depending on what you wanted to see, though I don't think anyone is wrong but it's weird how many saw something yet accordning the PTB did not, even now so long afterwards.

Huh. I agree with everything he said *looks around for lightning*

Especially during those times his blog was getting little to no new hits.

Not just the shippers.

That's what we're talking about! The sh*t has hit the fan and everyone is freaking out, myself included. But they're all being pretty awesome in handling this situation, or rather, they are about to be very awesome. Oh and poor Teyla!

WICKED! *bounces up and down in gleeful anticipation*

Are you guys ready for another part of the fic? it's very dialogue heavy, which was difficult for me; and I could use feedback before proceeding further? I have *counts* five new scenes I think, and one of them is pretty big.

*Fic bunnies tear into carrots with wreckless abandon* I could use all the help I can get. I know exactly what I want to do with the metal bikini reference. I'm just not sure how to get to it. *Goes back to staring at monitor*

[Anuna]

Ladies and gentleman, I am about to send you a new part ending with an evil cliffhanger. Ready? *G*
