Originally posted by gambitI've always thought of Shep/Weir as a "friendlier" Han Solo and Leia, the rebel pilot/cowboy and the beautiful/strong/dignified diplomat. Totally different people, but this time, these people are actually good friends. You don't see that often on tv or movies.

Sounds like "Coup" was a great ep. Gero is an excellent writer and I'm glad they are maintaining the dynamic between Shep and Weir. That's what primarily convinces me TPTB are sold on this ship. In many eps, "initruder", "Conversion", TLG" "Critical Mass" and now "Coup d'Etat" (to name a few) have featured great scenes between John and Liz. If they wanted to push a Teyla/John ship they should be including more Teyla/John scenes. Thus, imo, those little office scenes and balcony scenes are more important than the kiss, or any declrations made under stress.
Thanks for all the great "Coup" pics and spoilers--it's one stop shopping at this thread!

I'm looking forward to see Coup d'Etat in late June.
I was just looking the GW episode guide for season two and the three episodes that are to go were writen by Gero and Binder (Michael and Inferno by Binder and Allies by Gero ) which means they'll probably rock!!!!! Since this guys gave us jewels like BIS and LFP.Last edited by Atlantean_Fan; 11 January 2006, 05:56 AM.Awesome sig made by *E*K*R*. Thanks!!!!!

Weir: Aren't you the one who's always spouting off about how proper and careful scientific procedure must be adhered to?
McKay: In-vul-ner-able.
McKAY: I'm not crazy -- I just have another consciousness in my brain.

Originally posted by BamaYes, it is hard to keep UST constant in every episode for years on end. After a while of that constantly, the characters will burn out and the UST begins to feel trite and stupid. No great ship can have UST that all the time. There will be opportunities for UST to rear it's head but it's circumstantial and it's not every episode that can reasonably occur. A great relationship between a male and female shows *connection* at various levels. I'd rather see a couple travel through the entire spectrum of emotions with each other anyway because it's so much more meaningful and lasting for them. I like episodes that give them chances to get angry with each other while others give them chances to laugh with each other. That's a big difference in this ship and say the Shep/Teyla 'ship'. Shep and Weir are using their different type opportunities and circumstances to get to know and try and understand each other. Each's effort is very visible. That tells me a lot about where this ship can go as they meet the future.sigpic

Originally posted by Southern RedMartin may not know what he's doing but it sounds like So. Married. And. Don't. Know. It. is back. I was thinking about this when I watched the clip of the final scene in TLG.Spoiler:There they are in the twin beds.Remember Ricky and Lucy? Anybody who's married will recognize the scenario. You're yammering away about stuff and he just wants you to shut up so he can go to sleep. In John's case he just doesn't want to talk about it. Joe's delivery of the line "Yeah, it was horrifying." or whatever it was was perfect. You can tell he's married. So much went said at the end of that line they would have needed another whole episode to cover what he was thinking. And she just kept spilling her guts. And the harder she talked the harder he tapped on that dang PDA. I think he was playing one of those space invaders games. Then the end of Coup as it's been reported with him sitting on her desk AGAIN. This is a pattern, and this is what we mean by a slow subtle buildup of Sparky. A way to please almost everybody.

Originally posted by VixenOh good, so it wasn't just my pinky shippy brain that kept chewing on the Married thought when watching that scene Just push those beds together, put them in another room, remove all the hospital equipment and there you have it.

@ Eastern LilySpoiler:Yeah I know...it's only a big change after the KISSSpoiler:dealing with other people, e.g. the Genii. You don't want to come across as too laid back and easy going, especially to people you don't trust.
I do that to. I work with my aunt, and at work I call her by her name instead of "Aunt whatever." It's weird for me, but it's a formality thing.

The crew can see and sense and they most likely realize the 'name' thing is just protocol. They know how Weir and Shep are closer than anyone on SGA and hang around each other a lot. They're a smart bunch too and probably realize that the two have feelings of some sort for each other. They also probably realize that it's none of their business and as long as they can respect the authority of each, it'll remain that way.
Boy...did I ramble or what? *Oh, shut up!*
