Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Pearl of Atlantis76]

if you guys could pick a particular song to be john and elizabeth's own "theme song" what would it be?

I know their song, in my opinion, is this one: Run . As for a song for John and Elizabeth individually, well I can’t think of any particular one right now, to any of them. I guess to me they will always be connected to one another.

Question: anyone heard anything from Gateraid lately?

Not a word. He'll turn up sooner or later. Sooner, I hope.

Sparks check on Amazon...over the summer I got the box set for $35. It was my treat to myself because life was pretty sucky at that point and I needed cheering up

Wow, really? Thanks - I must keep an eye out for a good deal. One question I have, though, about making vids: is it necessary to have the episodes directly saved on my computer, or is it possible to make a vid just using episodes from DVDs? I'm asking because I would think that it'd be easier to just buy from something like Amazon Instant Video and download the episodes directly into my computer. If DVDs work, it might be a hassle to have to rip the episodes to save as computer files.

Or do I have any misconceptions here? I love to work with computer applications, but I haven't done a lot of movie and DVD making, so I'm not sure if I'm wrong about anything here.

i was talking to this young girl at the college i went to and she said she liked Justin Beiber (I grew up on classic bands such as aerosmith, beach boys, the rolling stones, johnny cash as well as some present music) and it made me think what kind of music do you think the kids of Sparky would listen too?

Unless they've gone back and changed them, the S1 DVDs can be downloaded directly to your computer. The other seasons are blocked so they have to be converted. I recorded the episodes directly from my TV to a DVD, so I don't know how it would be done now without buying them from iTunes or Amazon or somewhere. Hopefully, someone is still around with more recent info.

In order to make video's you need to have the files on your harddrive. There's no other way around it really.

If you have the DVD's there are a multitude of free programs you can use to rip DVD's. There even exist plenty of tutorials on how to do such a thing, f.e. How To Rip A DVD?.

Then you'll also need to have a program which allows you to create a video of your own, such as Windows Movie Maker (if you're a Windows user - Mac has a similar program though I don't know what it's called), Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. The latter two are not free for use (unless you acquire them through other means).

I've seen him pop up in other places, so I think he's okay. Don't know what's up with the online hiatus, but maybe we all need a break sometimes?

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Fluffy Thursday!

Very true. Could also be that he just has a lot of work right now that's eating into his fun time. I vaguely recall that's happened before.

[Falcon Horus]

Oh okay.... as long as he's okay, it's all good.

My ears must have been burning. I'm fine, I just haven't been on-line as much lately. I'll be away a bit longer too, I'm about to head away on holiday for a wee bit. I'll be back again at some point, I've just been a bit pressed for time lately, what with one thing and another.

I'm sorry to hear about your job situation Falcon. I hope it works out for you in the long run. It can be a bit stressful when you're not working (that'll be me in a few months) but you're young, you're smart, and you're talented, so you'll find something

You sure have good hearing. We miss your snark. It's been badly needed lately. Have a great vacation.
