Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
Is it a Chinese thing, perhaps? I couldn't help but notice your location... I used to live in Singapore many moons ago actually.
I am aware that in Chinese culture it is used to be that the expectation is that the man be older than the woman. It would be very unusual for a man to marry a woman older than him even today.
That's assuming that your husband is Chinese, of course...
As for the age thing... I think it's more scary to contemplate a 900 year old time lord making googly eyes with a 19 year old girl.
Me being half-chinese and a big Shweir shipper, I don't think it's a Chinese thing... My mum is Chinese and she doesn't have a problem with Shweir... doesn't really watch Stargate though...
Nice job, Descent.

I don't have a problem with it either... But I'm in a cross-cultural marriage too so age difference is the less radical option.
But I was wondering if it is a cultural thing for some people... it keeps coming up from time to time.

Since we're (sort of) on the topic of Progeny, I thought I'd mention a scene that really struck me, showing just how much Elizabeth has changed in the time she's been in Atlantis.
Spoiler:
When the team is in their quarters after Rodney returns from rewriting the code for the Asurans, and they're all talking about destroying fake!Atlantis, it's TEYLA who jumps in and questions what they are about to do and whether or not they'll be betraying Niam. That struck me as something Elizabeth would have said not so long ago, but in this situation she agrees with John completely.
She doesn't even seem concerned by the fact that they are about to blow up an entire city, even if it is inhabited by what are essentially robots. After all, Elizabeth was the one who brought up the Geneva convention when Atlantis held the Wraith prisoner. Needless to say, she's come a long way, and I think a lot of it is that she's realized that pascifism doesn't work if the other side doesn't want to play nice. I wouldn't be surprised if John has had a major influence on her as well.

Anyone remember Jamie from the X-files fandom? Right now I so wish we had one of her. Jamie got the earliest satelite feed from the network somehow and she would always post us the shippy details and post the shippy pic clips really early on Sunday afternoon!
I've done a good job of keepin TRW out of mind all week and keeping my mind on the j-o-b but now it's finally Friday so nothing is hindering me!
Here's raising a glass to all of you and hoping for a fantastic ep with a meaty ship bone to knaw on.

Hear hear...

Yeah well, my prediction came true and they started bombarding poor BamBam with Sheyla questions. He came back with the party line of "sexual tension" that's under control. Whatever the heck that means. Remember he's the one who said the stick fight in Hot Zone was designed to show the UST so all he knows is what he's been told. I'm hoping this is the end of trying to drag him into the ship wars.
LMAO! Shep's hairbrush gets more undivided attention from him than Teyla ever has!
Yeah, I'd agree with the old boy. It's certainly "under control" alright.
Apart from a few pics, I've kept myself reasonably spoiler free with TRW...
I hope it lives up to everyone's expectations. Sounds like an interesting episode anyway. If it's half as good as Before I Sleep, I should be so happy.

It's 9 PM or 10 PM that SGA airs on the USA....? I thought it was 9 PM. My bad... So waiting paciently as much as possible for someone with good news...
Let's just cut to the chase...Real World spoilers:
Spoiler:
Turns out it was John seeping into her delusion! She kept seeing a faceless man, whom eventually revealed himself to her and told her to fight her way out. Last half was quite full of angsty John. And to be fair, quite a bit of angsty Rodney and angsty Carson, but I saw mostly angsty John.
And omg...the 200th for SG-1! I was laughing through the whole damn thing. The puppets!! LOL
