Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Zandra's Ashes]

That sounds amazing and beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful time!

On another note, has anyone here seen Timeless? I can't help but imagine an AU Colonel John Sheppard and Doctor Elizabeth Weir having crazy time travel adventures to save the world. (I'm a bit of an AU fiend, sorry)

I watch Timeless and I have thought the same. I'm happy it's coming back for a second season.

It most certainly is a beautiful island.

Visited a necropolis yesterday near the beach, in use from the 7th century BC until the 1st century AD. You could tell a big part was already lost to the sea. And later today, we're gonna check out the remains of a local bronze age culture on the other side of the hillrange separating us from the right side of the island.

Sounds amazing. Amazing! I wish we had that kind of history here in the states.

I wish we had that kind of history here in the states.

But you do have that kind of history over there.
Just different people, and also no dolmen but plenty of burial hills.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Fluffy Thursday!

The earliest my state goes to is the 1500s. It seems so recent.

And here's a link to one of my favorite post-Eye fics, which is gen but definitely has Sparky overtones.

I am severely sleep deprived, it's way after midnight, and of course, I just had to read this fic. Loved it! Thank you for the rec! With all of this talk of The Storm/The Eye, I'm feeling like I might have to skip ahead in my long Stargate marathon to watch it!

It sounds like you're having a great time, Falcon Horus! May your vacation days always be sunny (without too much sunburn!) and relaxing!

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday!

Because my bus timing is terrible I missed the connection to the train. Didn't get to visit the capital like I was planning/ looking forward to.

Aw nuts! I'm sorry you missed out on that. Will you get another chance to go soon?

After reading this, I'm feeling the need to rewatch Storm/Eye in the very near future.

You REALLY should! I'd forgotten how wonderful those episodes were.

It most certainly is a beautiful island.

It's my first time vacationing here, and so far I haven't been disappointing. The weather is great too, except that neither me nor my sister are very fond of very hot weather, and at the moment we are at our limit of warm. i suspect the temperature's somewhere between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. We prefer it cooler. We like sun, and lots of it too, but there can also be a refreshing breeze if possible, or the occasional cloud covering the sky.

Sounds like a wonderful vacation. I'm so glad you're having a good time!

Hah! I'm right there in the shallow end of the pool with you!

Everyone should join us. It's lovely.

I skipped ahead and watched Hot Zone. That was another great episode. (The math girl in me just couldn't help but laugh at how clueless Ford was at prime/not prime. I mean, come on!) I loved it when Teyla chastised John for thinking the same way that Elizabeth thinks. And it was the first time John called Elizabeth by her first name. Which just leads me to thinking some personal conversations happened after The Eye.

I think I'll skip to Before I Sleep next. That's gonna be another flailing episode.

Mr. SR and I are going straight through no matter how painful. We're up to Doppelganger now and the most interesting thing to me has been some of his comments. He thinks they should have hooked up Ronon and Teyla, doesn't understand how anybody can think John is interested in Teyla romantically and that they all make a series of bad decisions that ultimately comes back to bite them repeatedly. He yells at the TV during military ops and Sam's hair drives him to distraction. Me, I just nod and smile.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!

It totally is! *clinks glasses with fruity drinks and those pink

Argh, I really should sit down and watch Season 1 again. The glory days, baby!

LMAO! I am totally unsurprised at what Mr. SR is reacting to. Especially the military stuff.

More power to you for watching all the episodes. I fear that if I tried that I would lose my enthusiasm.

And yeah, Ronon and Teyla were totally obvious. That's too funny about Sam's hair! And yes, they made decisions that kept biting them in the butt. From the posts that they made on this very board, you can see they thought they were smarter than everyone else.

You know me so well.

Not until next month.

Sometimes I think anybody that served in the military should never watch a tv show about the military. I remember back when Tour of Duty first come on in the late 80's/early 90's, my dad would always comment on everything they did wrong. For those of you that don't know Tour of Duty was about the Vietnam War. The entire second season of the show was set on a base my dad served at and he just went on and on about how badly they screwed up everything that year.

Boy you got that right. I can go all the way back to watching a show called "Combat" with my dad who said if it had really been that way they could have won WWII in 3 weeks. I also remember watching Sunday with my son, who had been in Air Force ROTC and the first thing he noticed was that John's collar was wrong and his shoes weren't shined. lol

But then I have the same problem with teacher shows. Usually the biggest mistake is having the kids already in the room before the teacher shows up. Disaster waiting to happen.

Mr. SR also freaks at blinking colored lights on computers which SGA has a tendency toward.
