John Sheppard Whump

[sherryw]

It took me ages to catch up on this thread today... yet that's nothing new to be honest

Linzi, I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. Have a warm hug

This seems to not be the best of weeks (and it's just after Easter...): OT

Spoiler:

Today my bf called to tell me that his little sister suffered a misgiving and is outright depressive now - and who could blame her. That's so terrible for her!

And on top of that I got an eMail in which a good friend told me that her husband comitted suicide on Easter Sunday!
And now she is alone with two little kids (3 and 5 yrs old) and doesn't know how get on and how to pay the loan for the house they bought just three years ago...

I am seldomely speachless but today is one of those rare occasions.

Sorry, peeps. I don't want to put a damper on the ongoing squee in here but I had to get that out.

And now I need to give you some whump to make me feel better before heading for bed.

Spoiler for the poor poor dial-ups:

Spoiler:

Sheppy:"Do you have to punch the living daylights out of me like this?"
TCB ½:"Sorry, I guess I my hand slipped and I overdid it a bit."

Sorry to hear about that TCB 0.5 I hope things get better.

I have to say that I have been punched by a hand that slipped and it didn't feel too good. *kickboxing class*

Night again! This time I'm really going.

[Twinchy]

Night Sherry, don't let yourself get whumped, girl. Thanks a bunch for your sympathy.
And all the other whumpers, good night too!
I'm heading for dream-land now too and see if the new morning bugs me less than today did.
Sorry, I'm still in a foul mood over all the bad news. So, it's best to run off and knock myself into my mattress anyway!

I'll light a candle tomorrow to make the world a bit better when I get up.

And congrats to the milestoners and their achievements I read about today. SheppyD, Peg,
If I mixed anyone up, I'm incredibly sorry for it. But I think I'm way beyond straight thoughts by now.

I won't let it slip though without another lovely pic of sleeping Sheppy who went ahead to warm the blankets...

[Lorr]

TCB 0.5, I am so sorry! That is just terrible for both your family and your friend. I can't imagine what it is like you all.

[Twinchy]

TCB 0.5, I am so sorry! That is just terrible for both your family and your friend. I can't imagine what it is like you all.

Thanks, Lorr! They all mainly want to be left alone right now. To try and deal with this on their own, and I figured I'd give them some time for themselves. Though frankly, I really don't know what to say ATM anyway.

[SGAFan]

Just popping in. Man is it quiet in here. Has anyone read JM's blog for tonight? No major news concerning Shep, but was a bit surprised by this statement of his..........

Stolen from JM's 12 April blog....



hmmm......that makes me a bit worried...........

spoiler and mini rant.. you have been warned. *G*

Spoiler:

Without Season 4 even airing yet? What kind of screwed up system is that? Hmm... should ask him to extrapolate. For god sake, don't drop a bombshell like that then leave it so vague!

*sigh* Stupid Nielsons! I figured Season 5 stood a good chance of happening, because season 4 did... (something JF said about tv shows I read somewhere: season 4 usually means a season 5 or something...)

*sigh* Now I"m worried too... They're airing in the fall lineup against the US networks who are show machines, cranking out new series like some assembly line. (IMHO 99% of what they show is crap, but they have the monopoly on the Nielsons...)

SGAFan- Wonderful chapter, and I can't wait for the next one!

Aww, thanks

I haven't seen the Ronon ones yet. I saw 2 with Shep's name misspelled - one for Phantoms (Shepherd on his team) and one for TOR (Shepherd on McKay). I thought the ads were hilarious. Just wished they knew it was spelled Sheppard. <gah!>

what are we talking about here? SOrry, as usual I"m behind and have no time to catch up on everything... *sigh*

SGAFan - loved the new chapter! That's such a great story. Read and reviewed.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.

TCB .5 I'm so sorry. Sending great big ((HUGS)) your way!

spoiler for MM&M and size...

Spoiler:

and with that, I need to go to bed. sinus infection still has a hold of me, and still nearly deaf in the right ear. Been half deaf for two weeks now and have done two rounds of antibiotics. Calling the Dr. tomorrow to get a referral to a specialist. I'm sick of this and the profound impact it has on my job and my life.

Long and short... still sleeping a lot more than normal. Energy levels aren't what I want them to be.. *sigh*

*yawn* Night! ((HUGS))

[Lorr]

Hey, SGAFan, feel better, and goodnight!

The possibility that S5 depends on the ratings on the next ten weeks

Spoiler:

(or 11 if there is a break somewhere) may just be a good thing. We have May sweeps, but otherwise, a lot of shows are wrapping up for the season or have a lot of repeats going on. Friday nights are fairly light on the big networks at the moment. If we had to go up against new programming in the Fall, it might be harder to get ratings.

My big concern is the lack of good promotion by SciFi. Waiting until the last minute to put on ads that really say something is rather sad. I don't get that kind of thinking when they advertise the heck out of the Saturday movie of the week every week, all of which are dreadful pieces of trash.

Well, I have The Reurn 1 in just to get ready for Part 2 tomorrow! So, I am going to run away.

TCB 0.5 - just be there for them. Sometimes that is all that's necessary, and sometimes it is everything. Hugs, Sweetie.

[Celtic Wizard]

Linzi - (((HUGS))) Sorry to hear your news

Spoiler:

Hope there is nothing about the ex, that is so soap opera, not sci-fi

[Linzi]

Hugs to Linzi and family! It is never easy to lose a loved one.

OT

Spoiler:

My Dad was sick for over a year and his whole personality changed in that time. It was actually a relief to see him finally released from his discomfort, but it hurt and still does after 2 years. He is so much better off now and in my mind and heart I remember what his life meant to me.

Back to the whump now...

Okay so it is just a little elbow scratch, but I was in the mood for it!

Thanks, Pocus. So sorry about your dad

Linzi! ((HUGS))

*waves* Hi all. Just wanted to let you all know that I got chapter 4 of Shattered posted. Thanks to Ali for the hint on getting around the document upload mess!

Shattered Ch. 4

Enjoy!

I'm off to wallpaper a bit

Now that has cheered me up!!!

Linzi, I am so sorry about your Nan. I am happy to know you have good memories of her. Just from the way you wrote about her, I know you cherish them. That keeps her alive. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Thanks, Lorr.

Didn't I say that the pick up for S5 would probably depend on the back half of S3?

My question in JM's blog was answered. No real spoilers, but just in case you're worried.

Spoiler:

I wonder if JF will be living in CB's office to make sure this one ends up like he wants it to (after what happened to Epiphany).

Lorr54 writes: “A question regarding the idea Mr. Flanigan pitched and Mr. Binder is writing. When something like that happens, how involved is the person that came up with the idea involved once the writer has it?”

Answer: That’s entirely dependent on how much input the first person wants to have.

Congrats to the milestoners! There were some biggies today!


Now I'm off to read the rest of his blog. I'll be back.

I liked your question! I hope JF will stay involved, because his instincts are very good, IMO. In Joe We Trust!!!!

Never mind––just going through one of my self-deprecating depressive mood swings, I guess. Been feeling whumped lately.

Hugs to you, Ceekay.

Fantastic WP's, SGA, as usual! Sorry your ears are still giving you hell. Get better VERY soon.

Linzi - (((HUGS))) Sorry to hear your news

Spoiler:

Thanks

A big thanks to everyone who expressed sympathy about my nan. I haven't probably mentioned you all here, and have missed some posts, but your kind thoughts are much appreciated.

[Elinor]

Linzi and TCB - sending you both a big hug. Sorry to hear your news.

Oh dear, it really doesn't pay to miss a day or two on here 'cos there are so many pages to catch up on.

I loved the pic of Joe JM posted yesterday, the fact that Joe has pitched an angsty episode and how JM got loads of comments the day he posts a Joe pic! Heh! It's really fabbo to see all the Sheppy support over there.

Now...I'm going to try and catch up with this thread!

[Iffy]

At last!! At long frelling last!! I just saw a real commercial on SciFi for SGA. It showed a bit of the last scene of one of the eps, but at least it was something. GAH!!!

They've been advertising the heck out of SGA on Spike the last couple of weeks.

[Pegasus_SGA]

Fly by post as I have to be in work in an hour *sigh* but I did have a Shep dream last night to help me through the day And to top it all off it wasn't one Shep it was 3 and two were whumped they were apparently (no idea where this came from) clones from a magical mystery tour inside some castle....very strange. But how can you go wrong with 3 Sheps, lol

Quick...very quick round up before I go. Thanks for the pix everyone and *sends the group a virtual hug for RL crap*

Linzi! ((HUGS))

Excellent stuff i'll hopefully get a chance to read it tonight...still not read Bebop's fic yet... sorry hon. Loved the WP's their almost lifesize!

I know, and the thing is, there's nothing anyone else can do apart fromt the US...bloody Skiffy. You wonder who hires these jokers.

Great question Lorr so lots of layers for S4 *wonders if Shep's layers are removable*

I saw your question. SQUEE!!! You come up with some good ones.

Spoiler:

I sincerely hope JF will take a very active role in his story. Then its bound to be very good.

I still would love to see JFs original idea for Epiphany.

Me to, maybe if/when he comes to P3 he'll tell us *still got my fingers and toes crossed for P3*

Hello whumpers. I finally caught up.



OK OK OK, my mom's a nurse and works on special unit for patients who have breathing tubes and I'm sure I can get something from her. I'm also going to be going to Florida in June so I could make a slight detour.



I agree with you Roo....IMO I don't think Shep kirks. There was only one time where he was interested, the rest they were after him. Well who the heck wouldn't be?

I also agree with what you

Spoiler:

said about the relationship stuff. I don't think Joe would pitch something like that. I think that if Joe pitched it, it will probably have a lot of action in it.

Linzi sorry to hear about your nan. Looks like you had a lot of support here on the whumper thread today. Here's another hug.



SSQQQQUUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's with Sherry, lol, wait till SD hears about the intubation kit, lol, it might actually tip her over the edge, lol And i think Joe's ep will be dark, actiony and angsty.

In Joe we trust!

*waves* Evening Whumpers!



Did you enjoy? I only managed to get through CG tonight.

Mini-rant: Did you notice in a couple of the ads for SGA they spelled Sheppard wrong (Shepherd)? What was that? You can't spell the name of the lead character correctly? Not sure what idiot made that mistake (twice), but one would think SOMEONE would have caught it before airing. <deep breath> OK, rant over.



Woo hoo!!! *runs off to read*

CG squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we need eps like that in S4 and i've a feeling we're gonna get some

Night Sherry, don't let yourself get whumped, girl. Thanks a bunch for your sympathy.
And all the other whumpers, good night too!
I'm heading for dream-land now too and see if the new morning bugs me less than today did.

hmmm......that makes me a bit worried...........

Makes me a little worried too!!!


Also re JM's blog

Spoiler:

he talks of Millers crossing and a vulnerable McKay - from what he says it sounds like this is an ep where McKay changes...surely there cant be two about him like this? Also DG - he says NOAS -any suggestions what this means - N= Nightmares S = Sheppard?

[Alipeeps]

I'd still like to know who these Neilsen people are. Because I sure and heck don't know any of them and my friends don't know any of their friends who are Neilsen people either.

They're not allowed to tell anyone. If you have a Neilsen box, you're not allowed to let anyone know.. so you could know people who are... but they can't tell you.

This seems to not be the best of weeks (and it's just after Easter...): OT

Sorry, peeps. I don't want to put a damper on the ongoing squee in here but I had to get that out.

So sorry to hear the bad news about your friend and family Twinchy. As others have said, all you can do is to be there for them when they need you. *hugs*

They've been advertising the heck out of SGA on Spike the last couple of weeks.

What is Spike please? I've heard it mentioned elsewhere...

What does NOAS stand for?”

Answer: When you find out what the episode is about, it will become obvious. I think. Alternately, knowing what it stands for will pretty much tell you what the episode is about.

If you ask me NOAS = Nightmare on Atlantis Street. You know how these guys love their movie references and to play on words, I can see them picking that for a working title/nickname.
