Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[muffinnuffin]

Well, treating the season like an experiment is one of the reasons why we ended up with what we have now.

Those are grownup people. You can't avoid the issue of relationships if you want something decent and realistic. Yes I know it's sci fi, but this is not a show for kids. It's science fiction for relatively grownup people. Intelligent writing is desirable.

BSG used those little details intentionally. SGA didn't. Those happened in by the way fashion... I didn't have a feeling they were done consistently and on purpose.

Yes, there weren't hints of people sleeping with one another in S1 (or other seasons) but in the real world? There would be some comfort $ex after The Storm/The Eye at least.

Its seems to me that...

Spoiler:

...the PTB are quite happy to write major whumpage stories regarding Teyla and the whole baby thing. Y'know, strange psycho man wants to take away child for evil purposes and whatnot, but a character actually being human and possibly embarking on the road of a relationship with someone? Nooo, cant do that.

Seems a bit backward. BSG managed it (the S2 episode The Farm creeped me out/shocked me that they were prepared to portray that kind of treatement of woman) but they managed to show a relationship growing between several characters. Atlantis seems happy to portray the really shocking stuff, but cant deal with humanity.

I hope I explained that well...

i think we need more sparky music videos for songs i was looking through my tunes and i saw these:

I'll be alright without you-Journey
After All (Love theme from Chances are) Cher
your still the one - Shania Twain
The Ghost of you- My Chemical Romance
Can't Help Falling in Love- The Immortal Elvis Presley
I only have eyes for you- The Flammingoes.

these were only a handful of the songs i found that would probably make good sparky videos ever since i saw the first two episodes of Season 4 and this mortal coil i've been listening to these songs.

Hello!

I'm up for any games--I just can't participate too much in anything based around fanfiction, because I have nowhere near the knowledge everyone else does and I don't have time to read much, unfortunately. It's either read it or write it, and right now I'm working on writing it!

Does anyone have a summary of the Elizabeth moments mentioned in Kindred I, II and TLM? I'm not expecting there to be much mention of anything, but I heard KII had a few things. I'm curious, and it'll help me with my fanfic.

To keep the forum chatty--perhaps we can do a 'one episode a day' sort of discussion about possible sparky moments for each episode of Atlantis, in chronological order? It would be great for people not so versed in all Atlantis episodes, allow us to picspam, let us debate about what we think was sparky and what wasn't, and point out the sparky in what appears, on the surface, to be a non-sparky episode.

One a day, so everyone can pitch in throughout the day, general discussion, not many rules, fanfic/fanvid mentions for sequels/stories based on/summarizations, etc.

Ought to take a good 60 or so days to get through them all. We can stop with the Elizabeth episodes in S4, though we can make mention of the few times she's mentioned/seems to be thought of (like in Miller's Crossing).

Yay! That's a good idea!!! I'm in!! If we start with The Rising, pointing out obvious and not so obvious sparky moments.... Rising is full of them!

If I may start - the moment when he sits in the chair for the first time,a nd Carson calls for rest of them. It's the first time they see each other. We know she had a chat with him later, convincing him to join the expedition, and that he wasn't very excited, more like hesitant. I wish we saw that. She probbably turned his world upside down, and I can only imagine what he thought of her enthusiasm.

Guess what?

I'm back.

And I give you An Eye for an Eye Chapter 3.

What have I missed?

I suggested this ages ago when we were doing the Sparky fan mixes...

I Am - Bon Jovi (from the Have A Nice Day album. Excellent song, as far as I know never released as a single)

And a few more, because I LOVE BON JOVI SO EFFIN MUCH (yet cannot afford a ticket to see them when they're in the UK )

Always - Bon Jovi

Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore - Bon Jovi (feat. LeAnne Rimes)

[Celcool]

There was a good Sparky video made to the song Always by Bon Jovi, not sure if it's still available on YouTube or not though.
