Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread

[Eri13]

Hee! I'm watching SyFy's rerun of TRW right now... John's talking to her and she's starting to hear him. SQUEE!

Hmm, maybe they took those publicity photos of the cast around the time that they were filming that scene from TRW...

I think that may have actually been Torri's jacket. I remember hearing something about the cast getting to wear their own clothes at points in time, and I think that jacket, the top she was wearing when Jack surprises her on her patio, and the pajamas she wears to bed are all Torri's.

So maybe they asked them to bring their favorite casual clothes to the Photo shoot, too and they incorporated what worked?

She also reuses a suit--the suit when she meets Jack to 'negotiate against the proliferation of nuclear weapons'--when she makes the failed football/hockey reference--is the same suit she wore in Intruder when she castrated talked to Landry and Caldwell about John's job.

[Scary Kitty]

SQUEE! John breaks quarantine and gets into Lizzie's nightmare to save her! Whoo hoo!

[Erin87]

Yeah, I've been torn on the Teyla/Ronon issue lately. I would have loved for that ship to go somewhere but sadly began to see the sibling relationship and now I have trouble imagining it. *thanks PTW*

But I love the idea of Keller being Carson's assistant. It would even work with Missing. When Teyla and Keller get to the settlement they find that all the Athosians were not taken. Kanaan is one of those still alive and he joins Teyla in searching for their people. He slowly gets developed as her love interest and we get to know him a bit. When Rachel goes on maternity leave we have Teyla being captured by Michael and Kanaan joins the team in her place to help in the search. Then when they find her Teyla has been turned into a hybrid. Lots of potential for angst and drama there. S5 begins with her rescue. She and Kanaan have a tearful reunion after Carson turns her back into herself. And sometime along the way we have John tell Kanaan that Teyla is like a sister to him. Voila! Lots of problems all tied up neatly.

Oh and Ronon/Keller can also work with this scenario. And of course Sparky gets even closer while working through all the drama. *takes a bow*

Oh, that is an awesome idea!
And those are kind of my thoughts on Ronon/Teyla too. I think it would have worked out really well if they'd chosen to go in that direction, but I'm okay with the brother/sister thing they ended up with.

This is so cool. Can you give me some name of Spanish music? I love this language and I love be in Spain. My next vacation (next year... ) will be in Barcelona.

Well, I don't know if he really counts since he's from Columbia, but I like Juanes.
Here's one of his songs that I think could work for Sparky. It's just so darn romantic! (and the translation isn't mine, so for all you fluent Spanish speakers here I'm sorry if it's wrong)

[Southern Red]

We watched TRW and I noticed that when the doctor was telling her about Simon she just kept saying "no" and didn't believe him. Then immediately she had the first vision of John. Coincidence? I think not.

My husband said he didn't think it was shippy per se but you could definitely see the "warmth" between them. I guess I'll have to settle for that. LOL

[Scary Kitty]

I think that may have actually been Torri's jacket. I remember hearing something about the cast getting to wear their own clothes at points in time, and I think that jacket, the top she was wearing when Jack surprises her on her patio, and the pajamas she wears to bed are all Torri's.

So maybe they asked them to bring their favorite casual clothes to the Photo shoot, too and they incorporated what worked?

Wouldn't surprise me. Remember when everyone's in casual clothes at the end of Thirty Eight Minutes? Those are probably the actors' clothes, too.

She also reuses a suit--the suit when she meets Jack to 'negotiate against the proliferation of nuclear weapons'--when she makes the failed football/hockey reference--is the same suit she wore in Intruder when she castrated talked to Landry and Caldwell about John's job.

Hee! I love that suit. Also liked the white suit with the pink blouse she wears later in TRW. Yum!

*snickers* Naw, I didn't think it was a coincidence, either. And "warmth?" That's all he can say? When John frakin' broke quarantine and used his mad ATA skillz to get into Lizzie's mind and tell her to keep fighting? Bah. John loves Lizzie, darnit. He's saving his woman.

Of course he counts. It's my favorite song from Juanes.
Damn I have to work on my spanish.

No coincidence.
I can understand your husband. I didn't saw "the ship" at the beginning (before I join your Sparky band.lol) but a unique bond between them. It's why Sparky is so special.

[Southern Red]

I know. I don't get it either. Sometimes he sees the Sparky as much as I do and then when it's most obvious to me he just sees friendship. Though I must admit on second viewing he is much better. In the old days he always said he saw more of a connection between John and Rodney than he did between John and either of the women. So progress. LOL

I think for men sometimes it has to be an anvil.

Of course he counts. It's my favorite song from Juanes.

He'll be happy to know that at least one of us understands him.

My husband said he didn't think it was shippy per se but you could definitely see the "warmth" between them. I guess I'll have to settle for that. LOL

That's funny. He notices things I'd never have taken as shippy and then one of the shippiest episodes he doesn't notice as shippy. But maybe that's a guy perspective.

TRW, for me, was much more about Elizabeth's feelings--though we have John by her side at all times and jumping into quarantine to save her, that's the self-sacrificing part of John we all know pretty well. But with TRW, I'm always impressed by the fact that the only person Elizabeth notices is John. No one else breaks into her dream world except him, and if it weren't for him being there, she may not have come out of it. That to me speaks worlds about how strongly she feels about him.

I try not to remember the clothes in 38 Minutes. If that was one of Rachel's personal tops...yikes.

Yeah, men are a mystery sometimes.

And in TRW in the first encounter with Jack it's when he says "we need you" and leaves that she sees the door for the first time. Do you suppose she is really hearing John say "we need you"? We do not hear him use those words in his little speech.

And the nanites from that point on set out to make her afraid of the shadowy figure. They can't stop her from seeing him which tells me that the connection is just too strong. So all they can do is try to marginalize him. And my husband pointed something interesting out. She was not really being drugged but they were making her think she was drugged and she was acting in a way she would expect to act under sedation. But all the drugs couldn't stop John from getting through. I added that last part.

[Probie]

The second biggest ship is John and Rodney so very a surprise if he saw something between them.lol For this one, I can't understand your husband.lol

Hey amiga! I can't stop listening spanish songs. I lost my voice (because I'm sick) so my parents are happy but yesterday I couldn't stop singing "Bailamos" (Enrique Iglesias of course).

Guys perspectives are very interesting. It's great to know what SR's husband and pkprd think about John and Elizabeth. Men and women don't see the same thing.

For the clothes: I hope it's not Rachel's top because like you said "yikes".

[Eri13]

Forgive me for not discussing TRW--work calls--but as a peace offering I present the Nutshell Snark version of Before I Sleep, in two parts.

This one was harder than Lifeline because I was enjoying the episode so much it was hard to find stuff to snark about. So much of the snark was me digging deep. It is all in jest and fun. Enjoy.

Spoiler:

Sparky Snark – Before I Sleep in a nutshell and in Two Parts:

[EXT: Atlantis Balcony. Elizabeth Weir is outside; John Sheppard comes out to join her.]

Weir: I thought you were off to cause more trouble.

John: Oh, I will. But before I do I will give you something that is completely not indicative of shipping or feelings in any way, because that wouldn’t be canon. So just accept this completely platonic birthday gift from me, as I hand it to you with a completely platonic flirty smile and a completely platonic soft, sexy tone of voice that’s completely platonic.

Weir: Thanks. I can completely tell it’s platonic, which is why I offer only a half smile, raised eyebrow and sexy, soft thank you in return that’s completely platonic.

John: Great! I’ll just sexily walk off now in a completely platonic way while you stare at my backside.


[INT: Atlantis corridor]

Rodney: In an attempt to fill the time it’ll take Ford to get to the mysterious door at the end of the corridor, I’ll randomly make jokes about real estate.

Ford: Hey! This is the first of 3 seconds you’ll get with me and I use it to point out a mysterious room in a CITY FULL OF MYSTERIOUS ROOMS. And people wonder why I got killed off.

*John, Ford and Teyla discover the stasis pod*

John: Whoa. Old lady…and yet there’s something about her that makes me want to STARE AT HER…


[INT: Atlantis stasis room]

Beckett: If we wake her up, she’ll die.

Audience: IF YOU LET HER SLEEP, SHE’LL ALSO DIE. DUH.

Weir: (standing in front of stasis pod in such a way that makes it completely obvious she has something to do with the person IN the pod): wake her up.

Old Weir is removed from the pod and laid on a table. She wakes.

Old Weir: It worked. You’re alive and as annoying as ever. *promptly falls asleep*



[INT: Control Room]

Rodney: In an effort to balance out ships, we’re going to share a McShep moment.

John: And mention how many dangers could still exist in the city, which, ironically, we’ll never again explore.



[INT: Atlantis Infirmary]

Carson: Elizabeth, get down here. This old lady knows my name, and I’m kind of afraid of her fake white wig. History will soon show you I don’t have a good track record with things in fake white wigs.

*Elizabeth makes her way to the infirmary*

Elizabeth: (to old Elizabeth): How are you feeling?

Old Weir: I’m you. Glad I stopped trying to straighten my hair, you look better with the curls. Oh, look, sky. ZZZZZZZZZZZ…


[INT: Atlantis Conference Room]

Rodney: I shall throw out time-travel science terms to prove I am the chief scientist. Einstein. Quantum. Black Hole Manipulation.

John: I shall throw out a cool movie reference to prove I am the laid-back hero. DeLorean.

Rodney: I shall insult your movie reference by mocking how badly that movie handled real science, in no way acknowledging the same problems with my own show.

Beckett (entering excitedly): In what may potentially be the speediest DNA test in the history of DNA tests, I can confirm she’s you.



[INT: Infirmary. Old Weir is still sleeping]

Rodney: I’m going to try to do an empathizing moment, but obviously I’m not Sheppard, so let me talk about time travel instead. Oh, and by the way there are millions of versions of you spread out across many variations of fluctuating universes.

Elizabeth: I know that, you’ll meet some of them in Seasons 4 and 5.

*Old Weir wakes up*

Old Weir: Where’s that 10,000 year old piece of paper?

Elizabeth: Rodney’s got it.

Old Weir: Right. I’ll just let him hang on to it and not reveal its importance until a dramatic moment later in the story. How about we hit the flashbacks now?

Elizabeth: Sounds good.

Old Weir: (*flashback sequence starts with clips from Rising*). We got to the city, lights came on, but other stuff didn’t work.

Rodney: Wait, nothing worked? That’s not what happened.

Old Weir: Alternate timeline, duh. I thought you were supposed to be a genius. I’m going to have to repeat a lot of things to them, aren’t I?

Elizabeth: Yes.

Old Weir: Glad to see not much has changed. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…



[INT: Elizabeth’s office. Carson and Elizabeth are sitting in it.]

Elizabeth: Carson, I need you to drug up the old version of me, she keeps falling asleep.

Carson: If I do that it may kill her.

Audience: DUDE! AGAIN WITH THE NONSENSICAL HESITATION. SHE’S GOING TO DIE ANYWAY!

Elizabeth: Is it actually necessary for me to explain why I’m asking you to give me drugs? The logic in it will give the audience headaches. She is me, I am her, ergo, if I want drugs…

Carson: Got it. Drugs it is.




[INT: Infirmary. Old Weir is sitting up and looking alert.]

Old Weir: Thanks for the drugs! I needed that.

Elizabeth: I know! Hey look, I randomly found a wheelchair and a checkered afghan, because I’m sure those were priorities in someone’s ‘take one personal item’ packs. Let’s go for a spin.

*they make it to the gateroom*

Old Weir: This looks much cooler when people actually wear colors. Speaking of which, why am I still in my 10,000 year old dress?

Elizabeth: No idea, though I’m pretty resilient about wearing the same stuff over and over. Note the shirt. You wouldn’t want any of the rest of my wardrobe anyway—remember that gray number from 38 Minutes?

Old Weir: Right. Well, I have a story to tell and I need somewhere dramatic to tell it.

Elizabeth: Hm. Despite its lack of elevators and being nowhere near a transporter, so I have no idea how I’ll get you up there, I think we can hold it in the conference room next to the balcony.




[INT: Conference Room. Weir has managed to get old Weir up there despite the lack of any handicap friendly modes of transport nearby]

Old Weir: There’s that midriff girl again. What’s she doing here? I have no idea who the heck she is.

Teyla: Do not worry, eventually the writers shall realize that too and I shall disappear from this episode for no apparent reason.

Ford: Me too. Though I shall burn myself into your mind with my 80’s era armpit t-shirt.

Old Weir: Anyways, back to the flashback… (cue Rising cuts again) I got called downstairs by that guy from Terminator: 2 for who knows what reason. By the time we got back to the control room and my hair went from perfectly straight to obviously-this-is-an-inserted-scene-straight, we discovered the shield had failed and that T2 guy drowned.

Elizabeth: Sumner drowned? Well, I guess that beats getting the life sucked out of you by a Wraith Queen like in my timeline.

John: Wait, what am I supposed to do for my ‘leave no man behind thing’ if the dude I can’t leave behind is already dead?

Old Weir: Character evolve? Anyways, moving on…we discover the Gateships, which John and I manage to stow away on.

Rodney: What happened to me?

Old Weir: You drowned.

Rodney (looking appropriately shocked at either his heroic moment or the fact that he’s not as smart as he thought): Wow.

Old Weir: Don’t feel bad, everyone else drowned too, including Scotty and the guy over there who looks like Willis from Differn't Strokes. Except for John, me and Zelenka, whose recurring status has apparently made him a more important character than originally was intended.

Elizabeth: Yeah, he didn’t show up in my version of Rising.

John: HA! Made it out of the city! Cooler than Rodney yet again!

Old Weir: As often randomly happened, John just touched something and we were magical zapped back 10,000 years in time. Which basically means that the incredibly complex nature of time travel Rodney was trying to explain earlier was completely irrelevant, and that this time machine is even more sketchy than the one Rodney was criticizing in Back to the Future.

Rodney: Touché.

Old Weir: But as you know we can’t go too many episodes without explosions, so the jumper was hit, and John… *she starts to have an attack*

Beckett: Wow. Even an Alternate You can’t handle it when Sheppard’s in danger.

Elizabeth: Are you surprised?

Beckett: After The Eye? Not really.

[Eri13]

BIS Nutshell Sparky Snark, Part II

Spoiler:

[INT: Atlantis Infirmary. Elizabeth is staring over Old Elizabeth. John comes in to join her]

John: Remember that earlier scene where you were doing this and Rodney walked up? Well, I’m going to say the exact same thing he said only better and in that sexy man-voice again.

Elizabeth: You know for a completely platonic relationship there sure are a lot of these type moments.

*Rodney enters*

Rodney: In an attempt to be funny and completely draw attention to the fact that I’m interrupting what appears to be a private and intimate moment between the two of you—even though everyone knows you guys don’t have intimate and private moments—I’m going to turn into shades of that comedic idiot that will become so standard for me in Season 2 and beyond.

Elizabeth: Great, thanks, more to look forward to.

*Old Weir wakens. She and young Elizabeth share a McShep chastising moment so Rodney and John can experience double the Momma Weir*

Old Weir: Anyways…I woke up dressed in this dress—and was told that everyone else was dead, glossing over the fact that my managing to survive while they got killed really makes no sense.

John: Damn. I wanted to wear an Ancient outfit.

Elizabeth: Next season.

Old Weir (continuing): I met up with this Ancient named Janus who explained I’d gone back 10,000 years to right before Atlantis was abandoned, which was a rather lucky break. Oh, and in case you didn’t know, the bad guys are called the Wraith.

Rodney: Yeah, we got that, thanks.

Old Weir: Janus took me in front of the high council, who surprisingly spoke entirely in English and not Ancient. Anyways, he was there with the chick from the Library, Spock, Harry Belafonte, one of the Jedi from Phantom Menace, and that guy who will apparently become important somewhere in SG-1. They told me that I could go back to Earth with them but I couldn’t travel back in time, because it would screw things up too much. Which makes no sense, because honestly I could screw even MORE things up by going back as an advanced Earth human during a critical point in early Earth human evolution. Whatever. ZZZZZZZZZZZ…




[INT: Infirmary]

Beckett: Like I told you would happen, she’s going to die.

Audience: SHE’S 10,000 YEARS OLD. DUH.

Old Weir *waking up*: I need to finish my story otherwise this will feel like an episode of Lost. Luckily for us Janus was all about breaking the rules. He developed a way for me to stay behind and rotate ZPMs, yada yada yada…of course none of it mattered because the only thing that really worked was his back-up failsafe plan. Wow. This is so boring I’m putting myself to sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ…



[INT: Atlantis infirmary. Time has obviously passed. John and Rodney are asleep. Old Weir wakes up.]

Elizabeth: Looks like we got rid of all the extraneous characters on Atlantis. Proceed.

Old Weir: Janus convinced the other Council members I’d already left because apparently Ancients are pretty gullible. *Random shots of the Ancients leaving, including some girl that is apparently a random SG-1 character because she has NO relevance to Atlantis.*

Elizabeth: Someday we’ll get rid of references to that damn show.

Old Weir: Don’t count your chickens. So I was alone in an abandoned city, though for some reason the Ancients didn’t bother to power it down OR cover their equipment with slipcovers. Good thing I stayed behind to rectify that. I set up everything, crawled in the stasis chamber and boom! Here I am. I’ve lived just long enough to share a sweet moment where I tell you to enjoy yourself, live your life, don’t stress too much and make sure to breathe.

Elizabeth: You do realize that I’m not going to do any of that except for the token scene at the end of this episode? Not to mention the fact that I bite it in about 2 years anyway, which essentially renders the power and symbolic majesty of this episode meaningless.

Old Weir: Oh, well. At least you won’t be suffering the bad wig. Oh, and by the way, that paper that I had with me is the location of 5 ZPMs. Don’t know why I didn’t mention that sooner, since that’s all we’ve been crying about since the start of the show.

Elizabeth: Cool! *runs over and wakes up the guys, completely disregarding her old self to talk about the ZPMs* ZPMS! ZPMS!

*Old Weir dies*

Elizabeth: Well, damn. *Elizabeth goes and holds her own dead hand, which is kinda creepy*


[EXT: Atlantis Balcony. Elizabeth uses the pot John gave her to spread her older self’s ashes over Atlantis. John comes out with a sexy concerned look that’s completely platonic.]

John: I’m coming out to the balcony to personally inform you of our meeting rather than radioing you—cuz duh, I’m concerned. In a completely platonic way.

Elizabeth: I’m okay.

John: Then we have a meeting.

Elizabeth: I’m coming. No, wait, I must live up to the promise of my other self for at least one scene. I’m going to stay out here for a while before the meeting.

John: Got it, I’ll just turn around so you can observe my sexily exiting backside.

Elizabeth: Thanks.

Audience: Thanks.

*Elizabeth enjoys a few moments’ peace in front of the fake blue sky. Close with theme that will become Elizabeth’s theme and cut to black.*

Eri13: It's HILARIOUS!!
A lot of humor and some truth. My favorites are:

Spoiler:

-"John: And mention how many dangers could still exist in the city, which, ironically, we’ll never again explore."
-"Elizabeth: I know that, you’ll meet some of them in Seasons 4 and 5."
-"Teyla: Do not worry, eventually the writers shall realize that too and I shall disappear from this episode for no apparent reason."

The reaction of the audience is so funny. We all had the same reaction.LOL
I hope you will do this more often.

Eri, you are a genius. A comedy genius. Why have we not known this before now? What's next? No pressure though.

If SR doesn't want to put pressure on you Eri, can I do this?lol
