*bounces* Soon! Let the Shep Angsting over his Lizzie begin!
Promo shots... hmm... well, I'd love to see more of Lizzie in her outfit from Coup D'Etat. She looks gorgeous in red, but add the black to it... was it me, or was John looking at her even more than he normally does (which is practically all the time anyway)? Very awesome!
Or this one, with just her, but we all know what she's looking at...

My hopes for the season three promo shots...
-Take Teyla out of the Xena wear and make her look more military expeditionish. Yeah, we all know she has gorgeous legs but let's not be so crassy with it guys. Teyla is sexiest when she's not letting it all hang out.
-Don't over airbrush. A light coat is fine. I like my own photos done that way but let's leave them looking more like photos and less like paintings.
-More involvement with the semi-regs. As much as I don't trust Caldwell as far as I can throw him, I do enjoy his portrayal. Let's get shots of Lorne, Caldwell, Zelenka, Heightmeyer etc in uniform and some with the regular lead guys too. They really help make the show what it is.
-My number ONE hope would be to have a semi-shippy pose between our lead duo. I used to love the XF promo shots where they'd have S and M in a cinch or staring lovingly at each other yet that wasn't how it yet was on the show. Would it be too much to have Elizabeth and Sheppard *veryveryclose* to each other in a photo with a little bit of hand action. Nothing over the top mind you but just a hint is always sexy and provocative for the viewers. And it's always fun to sort of 'tinker' with photo shots. Hand Elizabeth a stunner in one of them and let her stare at it. Put Ronon in some dressier clothing or a regular uniform for a one-shot. Explore logical and not so logical fun possibilities in these.
P.S. I don't mean this pissy-I promise I don't- but rather ask in truthful wonderment. Am I the only one who sometimes looks at the shep/teyla thread that keeps popping up and wonders to themselves, "What in the world do they have to talk about?"
*sheepish grin*
Of course, they may look at this thread the same way at the rate we go sometimes but...*shakes head and shuts up*Last edited by Bama; 20 February 2006, 05:50 AM.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get "couple shots" this year. Season 2, on that front, was about shifting gears. I think Season 3 will more or less cement the direction they're going, and it would make a lot of sense if we get Sheppard/Weir and Ronon/Teyla shots.
And Bama, I agree with you on Teyla. She's had a vast array of new shirts this season, so maybe they'll show that off. I don't think anyone has missed the fact that Rachel Luttrell is gorgeous. She doesn't need to be half-naked to show that off. (And frankly, the top she was wearing in the pictures last year was so badly tailored that it made her look chubby. I would have thought that was impossible. But the costume people seem to have gotten rid of that top in favor of things that look like they were actually made for her, but I'll not bore you with my theory of what happened to that top to make it look so bad.)
Getting a lot of the minor characters in for pictures would be fun, but a lot of it depends on when the pictures are taken. Last year's were probably taken during Runner, and the second set we got during the first year (the ones on the white backgrounds) were taken during Underground. So to get Lorne or Zelenka or any of the other recurring characters in there, the actors would have to be either not busy or in the episode going on when they decide to do the pictures. But here's hoping.
On a different note, I felt I should give you fair warning on spoilers this year: TPTB have been releasing fewer and fewer sides every year. They've been in Vancouver for a long time now, and they don't necessarily have to go through normal casting channels to get a role filled. Vancouver has a rather small talent pool in comparison to Los Angeles, so don't be surprised if we don't get sides for every episode, even those that heavily involve new characters. Last season there were eight episodes that I had no sides for. If I remember correctly, only three of those didn't involve big parts for new characters.Mirror, Mirror: Melyanna's multi-fandom fic site

Is it crazy to go all nuts over like an inch of skin? . We see Teyla's midriff all the time, the way they dress her sometimes it's like a step away from naked, so seeing Teyla skin is like blah, she's nekkid, "who cares?", not like we don't see that on a daily basis.

They'll have to make a choice continue playing with a couple that's so blah, we all remember what a great "success" those Teyla/Shep photos were last year *YAWN*. Or they can finally accept the facts, this year they have two hot couples instead of one, two couples that fit perfectly, gosh, it would be such a waste not to do something with them. From what we saw on season 2, i think they're finally getting on track, and season three will be all about T/R, S/W.

Good morning and a great big welcome back to the cast and crew of SGA. We here on the Sparky home world are thrilled and excited that Season 3 is about to begin filming. We have high hopes, not just for Sparky but for all aspects of the show. I think you are primed for a truly amazing season of excitement, action, character development, and dare I say romance. We love you, and above all we love Sparky.
There, now on with the fun. My husband and I watched Galaxy Quest yesterday, and I'll tell you what if you don't see yourself in those con scenes, you've probably never visited Gateworld. Hee. I think the writers of SGA must have seen this movie a few dozen times, because I could swear I saw actual bits they have used. I love SciFi that doesn't take itself seriously.

Same token regarding why Elizabeth and John seems so exciting to me-it's a surprise in a way. They just naturally seem like polar opposites on the surface and are surely the last sort the other thought they'd fall for and yet, here they are-falling nonetheless. Neither are bold and in each other's faces with their attraction but oh boy, is it there between them nonetheless.
Not sure about the stunner, but agree on the Shep/Weir promo shoots. It's not like they are kidding anyone with the Sheyla farse anymore . Hello!, we all know who *the* couple is.

Originally posted by BamaFor others-like me-a healthy heterosexual woman-and some more mature men even they enjoy the wonderment and imagination of what's behind the curtain so to speak. I'd rather be surprised a little-like with Elizabeth's quick navel shot in TLG- and not have it thrust in my face all the time. I *do* have an imagination I like to use and I happen to think it's a very functional one.
Originally posted by BamaThere were Shep/Teyla photos last year? Honestly, sometimes I just shake my head in wonderment. I cannot freakin BELIEVE that after watching those two interact on screen for just ONE scene that they thought that would be 'HOT' in any form or fashion.Mirror, Mirror: Melyanna's multi-fandom fic site

Originally posted by BamaTo their credit, they went out and bought Teyla a Ronon that made not only her a better character but also the cast and team better as a whole.
Originally posted by MelyannaI think she's referring to the first season promos, where the general rule seemed to be "take pictures of Joe with everyone in the cast." I still find it oddly ironic that there was one picture of Sheppard and Teyla that was released in that set, but there were three of Sheppard and Weir. And then in most of the ensemble pictures, Sheppard and Weir were very, very close to each other.

After watching all the episodes to date, especially the more recent ones, I have to admit that there seems to be some kind of "chemistry" between Sheppard and Weir. I could be way off base, but it just seems that her concern for him is just a tad more than professional. Just my opinion.On fighting:
Farrah: "A swordsman does not fear death, if he dies with honor."
Dr. Who: "Then he's an idiot."

Well...do I have to spell it out?
Have a sparky!burger to sink you're teeth into as a welcome!
Do you prefer the John or Elizabeth beef patty on top? I'll go with John...

Just a random thought but Mel, after seeing TLG, I'm *so* back into the whole 'Please, Please! let Elizabeth ask someone for some self-defense training.' I'd love for her to get a chance to physically fight against someone in the future again as herself. If she can't see by now that such would benefit her and give her that 'outlet' she so desperately needs then she's not as smart as I thought she was.
