John Sheppard/Teyla Emmagan Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
A reader asks, "You said that you'd done a lot of things with people's backstories in Death Game. Is there anything that is shocking?"
I don't think there's anything that's shocking to people who've watched the show. I think all the backstory grows very organically out of what we know already. But I do think there are some things that are surprising.
For example, I haven't seen a lot of discussion of John's mother. One of the things that's interesting in the episode Outcast is that she's not there. There's no sign of her in Patrick Sheppard's life at all. Dave is there, and you would think that if John's mother were there, estranged from him or not, this would be a big deal. Whether he's not speaking to her, or whether he is, if she were there it would be important. So she's not there, suggesting she's no longer part of Patrick's life at the time of his death. Also, in Letters from Pegasus, John says he doesn't have anyone to send a message to. If his mother were living, and if they were on good terms, surely he'd send a message to his mother! So one of the flashback sections introduces John's mother and explains what happened.
Another uncommon interpretation which comes up in Death Game but is more fully explored in the Legacy books is Teyla's previous marriage. It's very unusual for a woman in her mid-thirties to have never had a significant relationship, and in Death Game we get a peek at Teyla's previous relationship, and why she says it ended. (Which are not exactly the same reasons Halling gives in Homecoming -- but then we are often harder on ourselves than our friends are on us!)
So I think there are some surprises, if not shocks!
*goes back into lurking mood ´cause my wrist kinda hurts.... *
Awww relax that wrist...
I'm sure you are considered a saint for doing all this for all the ones who arn't gonna be able to buy this whole box set...
Frankly I have to say it's pretty stupid this is something that will only be on the complete box set... I mean why should I really go out and buy the whole box set when I already have all seasons... they sure know how to milk the fans money... if they couldn't have placed all this on the regular season 5 box..then they could have put this like on a DVD and sold it as a single piece instead of having people buy the whole darn thing again when most might already have all seasons... but I guess that is the companies ways of milking the true fans money... sorry I really don't got the funds to buy stuff in double because the prospect of getting a bonus feat.. oh well...guess I have to settle for seing pictures of it...so once again I huge huge thank you for doing this...
I really want to get the rouge ancients quadrilogy started but haven't been in the mood to write SGA fan fiction lately so can anyone recommend some SGA episodes to watch that might help me get back in the SGA fan fiction mood?
Quick question: What would you call the thing that John steers the jumper with? Steering wheel just doesn't sound right.
In most fics and novels I read, they just call them "controls". I think John also calls them that in "The Defiant One" when Rodney nearly snaps them off.

I actually agree there. Though it´s nice to have that extra, I wasn´t sure if I should buy and walked right by for some several days for the same reason.
Tbh, if I hadn´t still have several gift credits from a couple birthdays left over for our store, I´m not so sure I would have done it either. That extra disc on a single DVD would have been a nice thought though. Some of the things that were said would be a shame if it´s only heard by a few people. And somehow, sharing it makes me feel a little less insane for buying it. If that makes sense.
I hope it was fun reading it and looking at the pics, even if they weren´t HD.
Was a little disappointed with the fact that Joe barely had anything to say, but I guess since he was the last one to wrap and to end the show with him in the final scenes, that he didn´t have as much time as the others had. But there was lots of Rachel.
At the end of it, I just wanted to hug them all. *sniff*

Well, I watched some epis recently, mostly "Rising" got me back into the mood. Even after all those years (two for me, LOL), that one still stands out.
Others would be "Search and Rescue" and "The Siege trilogy".
I'm sure everyone will forgive you. <3 Since i'm sure they love this scene too.
Love the WHUMP... LOVE the THUNK and the SHIP! 3 Points for this scene! And Like Sam1969 said... We will definately forgive you.
Thanks SAF and thanks for helping me with my fic. And yes. I did enjoy reading. Too bad Joe was only in it once, but It's nice to know that the actors feel the same way as the fans do. *HUGS*
Boy it's been DEAD in here.
Oh and before I forget.......................
I'M ALMOST DONE.... I'M ALMOST DONE!!!!!!!!! Couple more scenes and I'll be off to send ep 9 to Jess to beta and send to Laura (LJ)
