60-70

71. McKAY: Are you listening? Look, I said I can reprogramme them to be completely harmless.
(John shakes his head.)
SHEPPARD: I am not having this conversation until you’re sure. I wanna save Elizabeth as much as anyone, but she wouldn’t want us risking the city, not even for her.
(Rodney looks at Jennifer sadly, knowing that John is right. After a moment, he starts to type again. Radek walks over to John and puts his hand on his shoulder to indicate that he’s ready to go. The two of them walk into a transporter.)
ZELENKA: That was the right call, by the way.
SHEPPARD: Yeah, let’s hope so.
(Radek pushes the wallscreen and the transporter doors close.)
(Adrift)

72. *Rodney, Ford and Teyla leave. Weir goes to leave, but stops and turns back.*
WEIR: You weren’t really going to say that, were you?
SHEPPARD: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
WEIR: I didn’t think so.
*Weir leaves and Sheppard lays back to try and sleep.* (38 minutes)

73.

Spoiler:

TECHNICIAN: We received word from Daedalus. They said they should be back to Atlantis by nineteen hundred hours.
WEIR: They called the search off?
TECHNICIAN: They said there was nothing to search for.
(The two of them gaze at each other for a moment. Finally Elizabeth nods.)
WEIR: Thank you.
(The technician nods and walks away. Elizabeth stares after him in shock for a moment, then turns to walk back into her office. Before she can get there, the Gate starts to dial in and alarms sound.)
TECHNICIAN: Offworld activation!
(Elizabeth turns, a look of determined hope on her face, and heads into the Control Room.)
WEIR: Who is it?
TECHNICIAN: We have an I.D.C. (He smiles.) It's Colonel Sheppard's code!
WEIR: Let 'em in! (She runs for the stairs.)
(Grinning, the technician rolls his chair across to the console and hits the panel to lower the shield. As Elizabeth trots down the stairs, Ronon, John and Teyla stroll through the Gate, John making a placatory gesture to the two marines standing either side of the Gate with their weapons raised. Elizabeth runs across the Gateroom floor to meet the three of them.)
SHEPPARD: Sorry we're late.
(Elizabeth smiles delightedly at them.)(The Hive)

74. SHEPPARD: It's not like this hasn't happened before. The other Elizabeth got infected by those little nanite things and we figured out how to stop ‘em somehow. Maybe we can do the same for you.
WEIR: So we wouldn't be a security threat?
SHEPPARD (awkwardly): You can contribute. Things'll just be ... different.
(Elizabeth sighs and shakes her head ruefully.)
WEIR: That's not really the issue, John. I guess what really bothers me is just knowing that you and the others will always consider me less than what I really am.
(A deep humming sound begins but John and Elizabeth don't notice it.)
SHEPPARD: That's not true.
WEIR: Of course it is – and I don't blame you.
(This Mortal Coil)

75.McKAY: Ah. (They start to walk out of the room.) Now, is Sheppard still bugging you to let him use the ascension device to turn himself into some kind of a superhero?
WEIR: Oh yes.
McKAY: Despite the fact that the Ancient database states that its effects on people are wildly unpredictable and that I’m just lucky I wasn’t instantly melted down into a pool of protoplasm.
WEIR: Yes.
McKAY: Yes. Well, maybe you should let him.
WEIR: I think not.
(Tao of Rodney)

76. WEIR: One of the biggest things that holds people back is that somewhere deep down they believe they're not deserving. *You* have to ... release your burden.
(Tao of Rodney)

77.(Elizabeth gets off the bed and faces John.)
WEIR: And I assume *you* have come to the Infirmary in order to have
your head examined.
SHEPPARD: Hey, I pulled it off, didn't I?
(The Ark)

78. for length

Spoiler:

ATLANTIS. GATE ROOM. Elizabeth meets with Major Lorne, who has just returned through the Stargate with his team.
WEIR: You're back early.
LORNE: Uh, Jenev is kind of a closed society. Very polite, and very courteous, but completely uninterested in having anything to do with us.
WEIR: Well, better that than hostile, I suppose. (She stops and turns to face Lorne.) Colonel Sheppard's team, three hours overdue.
LORNE (smiling): Wouldn't be the first time. Any radio contact?
WEIR: None since they left.
LORNE: Well, you know those guys.
WEIR: What do I know about those guys?
LORNE: Just that they tend to get all caught up in whatever it is they're doing, and sometimes they don't check in. They forget how much you worry. (Elizabeth looks at him.) ... That we worry -- collectively, I mean.
WEIR: Yes, we do.
LORNE (looking embarrassed): Yeah. We do. (He half-grimaces/half-smiles, then turns to his team.) OK, you guys, it looks like we're headin' back out.
WEIR (smiling): Thank you, Major.
LORNE: You're welcome.
(The Lost Boys)

79. HERMIOD: I have them on my screens. (A computer image of the two gliders comes up on the screen.) The computer-controlled ship is preparing to fire.
SHEPPARD: Alright -- we're just gonna tap on the brakes here.
(He pulls a lever back and he and Rodney shoot forward in their seats as the F-302 decelerates rapidly. The virus ship flashes past underneath them. Rodney gulps, trying not to be sick. In Engineering, Elizabeth and Hermiod watch the ships change position.)
WEIR: Nice move!
(The Intruder)

80. O'NEILL: Oh. Don't you have a dozen or so people already who can use the Ancient technology?
WEIR: Yeah, with concentration and training they can make it work, but John Sheppard, he does it naturally.

81. For size (Intruder)

Spoiler:

CALDWELL: Of course a corresponding increase in military presence would also be prudent.
WEIR: I agree. That's why I wanted Major Sheppard to come back with me. In fact, I brought *all* my senior staff back. I think it's only fair that they participate in the selection process of the new personnel in their respective departments.
LANDRY: That's kind of what we wanted to talk to you about. In your report, you singled Major Sheppard out for a lot of credit.
WEIR: That's right.
LANDRY: You were also candid enough to document several occasions on which you and the Major didn't exactly see eye to eye. In particular, there was an incident involving an alien nanovirus in which Major Sheppard directly disobeyed one of your orders.
WEIR: He also saved a lot of lives that day.
LANDRY: The Major's courage and ingenuity are not in question here.
His ability to follow the proper chain of command *is*.
WEIR: I'm not military, General.
CALDWELL: But you are the leader of the expedition.
LANDRY: You see, Doctor, from our point of view, Major Sheppard's independent nature poses a bit of a problem. If he could disobey *you*, he may see fit to do the same to the new commander of the military contingent on Atlantis.
WEIR: Excuse me? When did this happen?
LANDRY: Of course, the decision hasn't been made yet – but we do have a candidate in mind. (He looks at Caldwell, who tilts his head at Elizabeth.)
WEIR: Atlantis *has* a military commander.
LANDRY: You *had* a military commander – Colonel Sumner. When he was killed, Major Sheppard correctly assumed the position until a proper replacement could be brought in.
CALDWELL: Doctor, you can't be suggesting that a mission of this importance be trusted to a Major, and one with a questionable record at that.
WEIR: Major Sheppard's record before he joined my team doesn't concern me. All I can tell you is that if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be sitting here right now. And as for his rank, if that's not good enough for you, you're just gonna have to promote him.
LANDRY: Doctor ...
WEIR (interrupting as she stands up): I shouldn't have to remind you gentlemen that I continue to have the support of the President and our foreign allies. (She smiles sweetly at Landry.) You don't wanna fight me on this one.
(She leaves the room. Landry smiles ruefully at Caldwell.)

82. (John comes racing out of the woods and hurls himself onto the Beast's back. The Beast phases out and John crashes to the ground. Elizabeth runs to him as Carson runs to check out Ronon and Rodney checks Teyla. Carson picks up Ronon's sword and stabs it point down into the ground, then helps Ronon to his feet.)
SHEPPARD (getting to his feet): What the hell took you so long?!
WEIR: Believe it or not, you were only gone a couple of hours.
SHEPPARD: Try six months!
(Epiphany)

83. SHEPPARD: Doctor, this is why you brought me here.
(Rising, Part 2)

84. SHEPPARD: We know you're working for The Trust, (he pulls a pistol out of a holster on his leg and cocks the gun, though he doesn't raise it yet) so give us the code.
(Caldwell looks at them for a moment, then his eyes flash. He's a Goa'uld. Now John raises his pistol and aims it at him. Elizabeth takes a couple of steps backwards.)
WEIR: Oh, my God!
CALDWELL (smugly, in the dual voice of a Goa'uld): I will never give you that code.
(John looks round at Elizabeth. She looks back at him for a moment, then turns and leaves the room. John continues to hold his pistol on Caldwell.)
(Critical Mass)
Sparky eye!sex. They don't even have to say a word.

85. SHEPPARD (to Elizabeth): This is what I do when I have problems with my laptop. I turn it off, and then I turn it on again.
WEIR: I think this is a little bit more complicated than that.
SHEPPARD: I'm just saying that if we're taking a page from the John Sheppard Book of Computer Repair, we're really desperate.
(The Intruder)

86. ATLANTIS CONTROL ROOM.
WEIR (into comms): Major, this is Weir. We didn't copy that. You're breaking up.
SHEPPARD (over comms): I said there's ... (static) ... ermanence headed right ... (static) ... the weather forecasting.
WEIR (to the tech sitting at the control panel): Did he just say "weather forecasting?!"
(The Storm)

87. ALT-WEIR: Enjoy the moment -- what's here right now. The sun, the breeze ... our birthday!
WEIR: Sheppard couldn't keep it to himself, huh?!
(Before I Sleep)

[yunadax]

Awwwwwww I so love that episode ... and that quote

[Scary Kitty]

Awwwwwww I so love that episode ... and that quote

Yeah, that's a really cute moment. John is just adorkable and adorkably protective of Lizzie in that episode.

[yunadax]

He is... and he's just so damned sweet

[Scary Kitty]

He is... and he's just so damned sweet

The woobie look on his face when he finds out that his alternate self died in the AU actually cracked me up. Am I bad for doing that?

[KrisRussel]

I like your S4-5 AU idea. I think to make it consistent we need to do them in order and then the next person build on the episode before. Can I assume that Lizzie will survive in Lifeline? Then Reunion will be completely different and so on.

Awesome! Can I write you down to participate?
Heck... I really should start to write people down who want to participate...
And yes, the plan is to stay consistent with the actual episodes (or as much as possible anyway) but just with Liz still in command and still alive (maybe she'll need to recover from their mission to Asura so Carter is in charge for the first few episodes) and John can take care of her
I would also like not to have RST from the first episode we rewrite, UST: NO PROBLEM! The more the better
Then we can slowly let it build into something more (we're good at that, you know... or at least better at it than the actual writers)

Dad came through the surgery alright, and now it's in recovery mode. I will feel better in a few days when he starts to get stronger, though he looked really good when he came out of surgery yesterday.

Y'know, Torri came to Dragon Con last year...if they could get her again, I'd totally go.

As to Trek...

Spoiler:

I don't know about the kneeling. Is that an 'original trek' thing?

As to Nero, he did have 25 years to wait around and figure out what happened, so perhaps he discovered who piloted the ship and caused major damage on his own ship?

All I know is that it was hard to see the hotness that is Eric Bana beneath the Romulan make-up.

I'm so glad your dad's ok!

I think I'm going to petition to have both Torri and Joe at Fedcon next year... That would be so incredibly awesome! *iz wishful thinking*

On Trek:

Spoiler:

No, the kneeling thing is definitely not an original Trek thing... I have never known them to do that...

And yes, 25 years is a very long time... so maybe he did come across that little tidbit of information. I dunno...

Rofl, you are right... Eric Bana's hotness was hard to spot under all that make-up. But he did make an awesome Romulan though

I'm here to drop off some gifts: a ficlet, where John is suffering from lots of UST, and then a sequel: Sleeping offworld. The second one is written for torri012 Both M rated, so keep that in mind. Comments are love!

*dies*
OMG!! These are brilliant!!
All hail the Queen of Smut!!

That sounds like fun!

Possibly... I want to see if I can wrangle the plot bunnies for my post-S5 fix-it into cooperating first. (they're getting there!) And I definitely agree with SR that there will need to be some sort of plan in place to keep what's happening in the "new" episodes consistent with each other.

Awesome!
So I can write you down? Just lemme know what eps you'd prefer.
We still have some time before we start with it, so I'll start working on a game-plan.

OT Trek

Spoiler:

I think the whole kneeling thing is that so you make yourself a smaller target for anyone shooting at you....

Still OT Trek:

Spoiler:

Why would anyone be shooting at him on a disintegrating planet? And they know all the bad guys are on the Narada. Now that would have made sense when Kirk and Spock were beamed on board the Narada towards the end as there you would suspect baddies walking around (even though Scotty assured them otherwise). But that explanation makes no sense what so ever when he's beaming down to Vulcan.
Something just came to me: what if he did it out of respect to his homeworld? Sounds far fetched, I know...

You can put me down. I'll do what I can.

[KrisRussel]

Awesome!! *grins*
Any eps you'd prefer?

[Anuna]

Awesome!! *grins*
Any eps you'd prefer?

Put me down too! I love this idea. And I'll think about eps, but I'd like to do Outcast and perhaps Doppleganger.

And also, thank you for reading and comments, folks! *muchos huggles* You're the best!

[Southern Red]

Awesome!! *grins*
Any eps you'd prefer?

Nope, I've seen them all and will be glad to do one that everyone else avoided. LOL But not Brainstorm or Trio. Sorry. Ooh, I'll do Whispers when you get to S5 and how about Harmony? I love that one.

[Anuna]

What's the ep with Teyla and Keller stuck off world in S4? I'd do that one, only add Elizabeth and have some girl awesomeness all around. *g*

OT TREK:

Spoiler:

My assumption is he did that in case he was beamed into one of the tunnels/caves in the area (possible low ceilings) instead of out in the open.

[Probie]

we would love for you to discuss the topic of that thread in that thread. First because we would love to have any and all thoughts on titles and secondly because its really not on topic here.

ok sorry. I will say nothing more about this thread.

[Scary Kitty]

Good morning, Sparkies! It's Angsty Wednesday here on the Sparky thread... and I don't feel angsty. I feel energized and excited!

Awesome! Can I write you down to participate?
Heck... I really should start to write people down who want to participate...

Sounds good to me. And I like the idea of having Carter in charge for a little while... one of the things that bugged me about S4 was the fact that we never got to see the two of them on screen together. Having Lizzie and Sam team up would've been awesome.

John taking care of her and slowly UST becomes RST... ohhh yeah, now we're talking!

Awesome!
So I can write you down? Just lemme know what eps you'd prefer.
We still have some time before we start with it, so I'll start working on a game-plan.

I'd be happy to take on Trio. And possibly Reunion... Sam's arrival on Atlantis certainly could've been handled better.

[Probie]

I spend a horrible day and I’m angry. I came here and I see that I'm “scold” by a moderator. My day is getting better.lol But I know that it’s my fault. I will try to participate to the new thread..

I saw that for the episode “GITM”, there will have no commentary. It annoys me even more. The only episodes I would have liked to see comment are “The Real World” and “GITM” and by chance these episodes are the only episodes without comment.
Oh and if I mention this, it’s because "The Real World" and "GITM" are Sparky episode.
So I'm on the right thread. lol
Well,I should try to relax me. It was a very bad day but it's the angst day so it's normal.lol
