Rodney McKay/Elizabeth Weir Discussion/Ship/Appreciation

[Purpleyin]

I saw a lot of McWeir in "Before I Sleep", But Purpleyin already listed them all!!

Well I went over this episode really well for a tag I wrote (from Old Weir's perspective) and soo many times before that just because I love it.

Here's the link to the my 3 tags for the episode (last one is Old Weir's)

But you know I've gotten very good at spotting McWeir bits and pieces since I've reviewed several episodes for McWeir before (Hide and Seek, 38 minutes and The Eye)- I'm sure I'll find more when I make the screencaps and write the review - alot of it is in the looks and what's not said, in my opinion, and that can be seen even better frame by frame!

I'll be sure to.

In the mean time I'll just remind for newcomers that there's a very cool McWeir group here. Getting quite a bit of discussion there and plenty of fics posted - regular mcWeir chats too and roundrobins and challenges to take part in.

It should be obvious which bit when you see it. Still a matter of interpretation But it's hard to miss what I'm talking about if you've seen it.

Correction, it's not a matter of interpretation. It's a matter of how how much the writers and directors are trying to ram it down out throats (sideways, I might add).

Still, McWeir forever and the show will be great. Well, might need some plots. Maybe a cool enemy or two. Possibly some neat special effects. A few gun battles wouldn't be bad either, actually...

We where over at the Sheyla thread making a smiley for our ship and we thought we needed one for McWeir too, So any ideas?

Yes its there and they put it there but you could still interpret it as friendship OR as more; I'd lean on the more but hoping it's not.

And how about more Kolya... He knows what's there, knows what McKay wuold do

Ok no caps today - and not much progress on the McWeir site I'm making either (suggestions welcome) since I have essays to do, dang, uni gets in the way once more.

But I have had like 6 McWeir vid ideas buzzing aroundfor when i get my tapes back off a friend and I had a little play aorund with my graphics program too (still trying to work out how to make stuff look like I want) but came up with this - 4 versions, love to know what people think of them.

The main shot is from infirmary scene in Sanctuary (Patti made a lovely merge of the panning shot from him to her that I used for this - so say thanks to Patti too!) and the top cloud bit is from Sanctuary city shot but rest of background is a blurry gateroom screencap, that is on screen for a second after a Weir shot where she leaves. So it's an odd edit together but I think it works ok.

Here are the caps I made that I used.
