Hello sparkies!
I´ve never posted here before because sometimes it´s hard for me to write in english (sorry for my mistakes), but I always have been an absolute sparky.
When I saw 38 minutes those two became one of my favourite couples, and this thread is my favourite in GW fomum thanks to your comentaries and fanart.
Of course right now I´m very disappointed with the new seasons of the show, but I really hope that everything goes well (as well as it could be) in GitM. At least I expect one sparky moment in the episode.
Maybe you have already thougth on this one. It´s an amazing song that goes well for almost all the ships:Originally Posted by SoulSpinder:
Oh! And one last thing! Would you mind sharing with me titles of songs that remind you of sparky? Either from just listening or music vids or the like (bonus if you have links to the vids.) I have evil slightly humourous plans....
Spoiler:
You can found a Jack-Sam version here: http://suzvoy.freeservers.com/romance.htm
Last week I found a vid of another of my favourite ships (Both and Bones) and I thought that maybe someone could do a version for John-Elizabeth.
You could see the vid here:

No, In fact, it sounds good to me. Good plan, maybe that´s what we should do.Originally Posted by drusila87:
That´s what I think. If the things won´t get better in the next seasons I´m going to ignore those seasons, and enjoy the first ones.
Because if we won´t recupere the characters we have lost, the show won´t be able to recupere the real essence of SGA, and it will be like another show. Another show, different of the show that we can enjoy in the seasons 1, 2 & 3.
And what happen in that "other show" could made me feel sad, but it is not going to spoil my hours watching and enjoying the real SGA.
For example, when I get angry because my favourite couple from Jericho didn´t go in the way that it should be, I get angry with Jericho, but not with my other favourite shows.
As I ´ve said, I think If our beloved characters come back (I really believe in it), we won´t have to do that separation, and we will have more episodes to enjoy.
Maybe you are thinking "This girl´s become totally crazy". But I really see it in that way, and I think it is a healthy way for me.
By the way, who is your favourite couple from Jericho?
Because I love Jake-Heather and Stanley-Mimi.
Eri, I love your version of Misbegotten. I always thougth that this episode could have been better.
And thanks for the book news, I´m going to buy it right now.

I agree with R_P, to get six fics in a year where one half of our ship is supposedly gone, is amazing.
Go read all the fics everyone. Our very own Anuna wrote one with alternate0ego. Here's a link to all of Sparky bigbang and then Anuna's & alternate0ego fic.Comment

It's very amazing, especially when you add in the requirements (deadline in 2-3 months, word count of 40,000+). It takes a lot of work, and all the authors who stepped up to the plate and delivered should be commended for a job very well done!Originally posted by justhere1971 View Post
So, everyone go read Big Bang this weekend!

On screen: Picture zooms in for a view of Larrin, who is desperately beating the panel of a corridor door that simply won't open. The view switches to HK's targeting mode.
HK-47: *aims at Larrin's head, fires the blaster rifle*
Larrin: *gets hit, falls down, her hair is set ablaze by the blast's energy, her clothes are set ablaze as well*

OMG! Thank you for the ego stroking. That fic was almost the end of me. And i still think it could have been so much better than it is. Ankareeda made beautiful art for the fic (but it looks like something is messed up with the links ofr said art?) But the important thing is -sparky got its own category this year and there are six very long sparky fics to be read.Originally posted by justhere1971 View Post
OT, but kind of GitMo related. Today the Catholics celebrate the Assumption of Mary. Essentially, the ascension to heaven is what is celebrated. I find it kind of symbolic that GitMo airs precisely today.I'm not weird, I'm limited edition.Comment

Ok, so I dared to look at the GitMo stills. I'm very interested what happens, and my guess is

*eagerly awaiting questions*
Misbegotten
I wouldn't rate this in my top 10 overall eps, but I really do like it. Unfortunately with the benefit of hindsight, the things that it sets up are, well, unfortunate.
I understand your criticisms of it plotwise Eri13. I think it is one of those that really should be a full hour rather than the allocated 43min just to tie up the loose ends, but that can be said for many an ep. This may be one of the rare occassions where our tastes differ.
Although I've never been a fan of the whole IOA arc, in all its various incarnations, it fits better here. By Woolsey actually coming to Atlantis he gets to see that not everything is black and white. There's a lot of grey in decisions in 'the real world'. And although the outcome of his review was never really in question, its interesting how easily his position changes. He almost seems calculating when he delivers his 'for now' comment at the end, which I doubt is the angle they were going for. Then again, this is an M&M ep, so maybe they did have that in mind. It always irked me in the commentary that in the final shot (Elizabeth standing in her office, with the stargate activating) that they say she is 'in her place'. Grrrr. She's not Walter dammit.
One of the most powerful scenes in this ep (IMO) is the scene between Teyla & Michael. He basically asks how wiping his memory is any different to killing him. In typical SG fashion, we don't even get an attempt at an answer. But its funny how this scene is very similar to another strong Conner scene in another sci-fi show. Homage?
The conference room scene always slays me. I'm not a fan of gushy scenes, but I do like this one. Elizabeth haters would hate it. But its unique in sci fi. Emotions in this genre are generally stilted, and acknowledging them usually makes the characters involved seem weaker. Here it is so human, so Elizabeth. Words aren't even neccesary. The link between the three of them (all of them, but especially J/R/E) is so strong here. Rodney displays a rare moment of good judgement with his 'hungry' suggestion.
And the J/E scene always amuses me too. Firstly, it is sooooo Sparky, secondly, in the commentary they say that it is only there to illustrate that time has passed between the preceding and following scenes. Idiots.
Carson, bless him, shines in this. It was s3 where I really started to appreciate him (I hated him in the early s1 eps, how wrong could i be). Michael makes him seem darker. When he brings up his sense of empathy, its so striking how much Carson has evolved.
Speaking of s1, this is the first time since then that I've actually seen John as a credible military officer. He's never really been a voice of authority, so I was surprised when he overuled everyone to destroy the settlement.
Well Gitmo is probably on by now so I eagerly await your reviews

I've been listening to Old songs and I Found this song that i would love to do an AU vid too.
She sits alone by a lamp post
trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one I love the most
but Stipe's not far behind
She lets me in
only tell me where's she's been
when she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care I just run my hands
through her dark hair and I pray to God
you gotta help me fly away
And just
Let her cry:if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing:if it eases all her pain
Let her go:let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be:let her be.
This morning I woke up alone
found a note by the phone
saying maybe I'll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what to do
so I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself.
Let her cry:if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing:if it eases all her pain
Let her go:let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be:let her be.
Let her cry:if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing:if it eases all her pain
Let her go:let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be:let her be.
Last nite I tried to leave
She cried so much I just
could not believe
she was the same girl I
fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
get high
I sat down on my couch
and cried
yelling oh mama please
help me
won't you hold my hand.
Let her cry:if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing:if it eases all her pain
Let her go:let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be:let her be.
Let her cry:if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing:if it eases all her pain
Let her go:let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be:let her be.
Thanks to Nad for my awesome sig!

It seems it's not true, but leaks don't generally hurt much since only te hardcore downloading fans will download it, while casual viewers don't even know it's out. And it's usually the people that don't get SciFi or non-US-folks.Originally posted by drusila87 View Post
