What ship are you talking about?

What ship are you talking about?

The John/Elizabeth ship, of course!

Or will that most likely only happen in fanfiction?

Has anyone seen this documentary?

Spoiler:

Honestly i don’t know what to think about it. I mean in a way i think it is being a good documentary (i haven’t watched all of it yet, only one hour or so) but on the other hand i feel kind of angry with it. I mean they talk about Atlantis sure, but Torri and Joe seem to be only extras, very important extras because they show some of their scenes (most of times they are not together in the scenes only in one around 40 – 45 minutes they show a scene in which both of them are really close, but the scene was so fast that i can’t tell you now which scene was! ).

Then there is this part in which they talk about the importance of women in Stargate, they say that usually women in Sci-fi never have important roles and so on, but the thing is, for someone who doesn’t know about Stargate and is watching this documentary, they will definitely think that Carter and Teyla are the only important women in Stargate, (as if Teyla’s role has ever been quite developed) and although they show scenes of Elizabeth, not a single word about her is said!!! I am more than angry with this!!!!!

Carl Binder talks quite a lot and he says that SGU ended up being his favourite, he also says that he wasn’t or at least didn’t feel so comfortable writing Sci-fi, and he also said that he would go to the internet and check what fans were saying and he would usually notice that fans would point out certain mistakes he had made in his story, whether related with facts of the show, or something like that.

David Hewlett also talks and he said (and this i didn’t know) that when he was picked to act in SGA he had initially gone to do a casting to another character, but then they recognise him as being the McKay from SG1 and that’s how he ended up being part of the SGA cast.

Rachel Luttrel also talks and she speaks about how she was worried about the time in which she was pregnant but she said that the writers were able to fit her condition in the story and she also talked something about the love story between her and Kanaan, she used the words “love story”, so once again here is the proof that someone (namily the person who is writing the legacy books) should hear from Rachel’s mouth!!!!

But anyway, i still have 30 minutes or so to watch let’s see what else i can find out.

Oh please bare in mind that i don’t speak French, but i can understand it, well not perfectly but enough to be able to understand most things, but it would be great to hear someone who actually speaks French comment about this documentary, though.

I heard about that but since I don’t speak French at all I can’t watch it though based on your summary (thanks a bunch for posting that) I don’t think I’m missing much. Again thanks for posting some of the things that they mentioned though, some of it was fun to at least hear about such as the love story of Teyla and Kaanan since it was obvious on the show that it was there but they never acknowledged it so it was fun to hear that Rachel talked about it.

I was sad to hear about what Carl said about himself, I mean ok, maybe he didn’t do the most sci-fi oriented episodes but he should get a lot of acknowledgement for writing some of the best character driven episodes and especially knew how to write the female characters.

The John/Elizabeth ship, of course!

That would never happen, hell will have to freeze over before they would even acknowledge that there might have been a possibility, much less that it could actually be canon, it sucks but it’s the truth…well, we know the actual truth so we’ll have you settle for that.

[Sparky She-Demon]

So the shippers are the only ones that will acknowledge its existence. Verdamnt.

I'll live with it though.

What Brie said.

I don't know why you are thinking there might be something to confirm our ship at this point. The show has been off the air for years. The writers have all gone their separate ways and are working on other shows. Everyone connected to the show has said, when asked, that Sparky was never going to happen. We're just here because we wanted it to happen, but we know it never would have.

[Sparky She-Demon]

We want what we want, that's why we're here.

Has anyone seen this documentary?

Probie mentioned this one a few weeks ago. I speak French but I'm too tired to concentrate much as I've been on the road for nearly 3 hours for a trip that only takes one due to heavy snow fall. So, if Probie doesn't show up to confirm this in the next few days, I'll watch to see what else is said.

Still, even though everyone says that the Sparky ship was never going to happen I still find it very interesting that of all the relationship threads on the SGA Forums this one is the most active. Also ,i have been sad and compared the number of stories on FF for each ship and Sparky has by far the most. That many people can't be wrong, can they?

I know that it is wishful thinking that it all may be resurrected one day but I do still hope for it.

P.S.. Thanks, Pearl!

It is one of the more active threads I've seen. It *is* kind of ironic that for a ship that TPTW said would never happen, has one of the largest followings on gateworld.

The largest... mmm... don't underestimate the McSheppers. People in here are simply still active...

[Sparky She-Demon]

I did say "one of the largest". I didn't say it was the largest.

[Falcon Horus]

There used to be a tally - a long time ago when rivalry ran wild.

[Sparky She-Demon]

I can imagine the ship rivalries ran wild! What were the most intense ones?

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

I am glad because everyone seems excited about what RL said on the documentary regarding Teyla and Kanaan but please remember that i don't speak French and there is still a chance i might have misunderstood something, so i would really like if someone who actually speaks French would watch it, to see if what she said was really that or not. I don't want to mislead anyone.
