Hey there, everyone...!
Just popping in to say.... liked The Seed as an eppie but LOVED it for whump.
Have to say, though, Carson looks like he is made of plastic - is that cos he's a clone? -
...but Shep looks the hottest he's ever looked! *KITTENISH GROWL*
TBH I never really thought he was a great actor (*DUCKS*), but he's aced performances in both opening eppies, so I stand corrected!

You never thought Joe was a good actor? Really? Hmmm, you're entitled to your opinion, of course, but I can't agree, and to be honest, I don't really think that's perhaps on topic for the whump thread. I can only speak for myself here, but I adore Sheppard, and if Joe hadn't made his performances convincing, I wouldn't love Sheppard so much. For me, it isn't just about looks or whump, there has to be more depth, and Joe gives me that depth. So, sorry, I really don't know where you're coming from hereOriginally posted by fuchsia View PostHey there, everyone...!

I totally agree. I think that Joe is an awesome actor and his portrayal of Sheppard is the only reason I watch the show. He is the stand out performer. Without his acting ability I dont think I would ever have become a Shep whumper.Originally posted by Linzi View PostComment

Ditto. If he didn't act so well, and make everything so convincing I wouldn't enjoy Shep whump either.Originally posted by Sheppard's Delight View Post

Morning Whumpers!
Well, back to what passes for normal in my life. Tons of stuff to do. Just a passing post!
I am still giggling about Hewlett's latest name for JF......Flannididdy. That's hilarious.
Here's a name for the "SGA Musical" episode......ROFL......."Bring on Da Noise......Bring on Da Shep Whump". When I saw JF's reaction to that question when someone brought it up at a Con, it made me smile.

Silly me read the summaries for The Seed before I watched it and messed up me being surprised at the end. But it was still awesome!!!! The whump more then the ep
I don't think I read anything for BT.
I was thinking the same thing,but wasn't sure. Thanks AliOriginally posted by Alipeeps View Post

Oh that's perfect. Great job Hathor.
I hope you find the whumper you're looking for.Originally posted by Pic-CollSwan View Postde-lurking
OK, so there's a whumper here who was at Shore Leave. Who are you?
We stood in line for David's autograph and you shared your awesome pictures of touring the Bridge Studios with us on Sunday (I'm the one getting ADB autographed, the other person was getting a glossy done). You were with your sister.
Sorry to highjack the thread, you mentioned you were a whumper (think you said whumper/not thunker - could be both, who knows).
To keep the post somewhat on topic, Sheppard has certainly had it handed to him this season, eh?
He looks comfortable in the infimary getup, guess he's getting used to it.
back to lurk-mode
ROFL!!!!Originally posted by Astraldust View PostBoth!!

ITA. I personally think that JF being on SGA has been good for him. His acting has only improved every single year. Not just with physical whump, but also with emo whump as well.
Exactly!Originally posted by Linzi View PostDitto. If he didn't act so well, and make everything so convincing I wouldn't enjoy Shep whump either.

Know what I particularly enjoy about JF's acting? He's so subtle you don't even realize at first how very good he is. Then all of a sudden he's got you! Does that make any sense at all, or am I still exhausted from the trip?
ABOUT "THE SEED"Spoiler:
Wonderful 'caps everyone! *happy before back to RL sigh*

The thing I love about Joe's acting is that he never has me worried. Most actors now and then do something a certain way that makes you just feel embarrassed- I guess it is when they over act (this often happens where whump is concerned). I have total trust in Joe that he will come up with the goods in a way that never makes you feel at all uncomfortable!!!Originally posted by iheartshep View PostComment

Got to agree that JT is a fantastic actor I think a lot of the strengths of Shep's character (i.e. what we like about him) are down to JF. I love the fact that he talks things over with the writers, shows that he really cares and knows the character

You hit the nail on the head for me here. Joe does subtle so well. I don't enjoy in your face, OTT performances. And Joe's acting struck me as being subtle from Rising onwards. But I think he's got better and better too. SheppyD was saying to me earlier, that not once has she watched Joe acting and cringed. Not once has he portrayed Shep's pain or hurt and she feel embarrassed by his performance, and I agree 100% with her here. I FEEL Shep's pain along with him, because I see it in Joe's eyes. That's acting for me. Spewing out reams of dialogue is irrelevent compared to that, IMO. If you believe what you're acting, then that comes across I think. I love your spoilered quote. I just knew Shep would do what he did. It's just himOriginally posted by iheartshep View Post
I agree. It is down to JF, or a lot of it is. There hasn't even been any backstory on Shep until season 4, for goodness sakes! So, yeah, a lot of it is down to Joe, IMO, and his interpretation of the role.Originally posted by CazzBlade View PostGot to agree that JT is a fantastic actor I think a lot of the strengths of Shep's character (i.e. what we like about him) are down to JF.

Gotta agree. JF's acting is awesome and I actually find the subtle acting a lot more impressive (and hard to do) than the more showy grandstanding acting. If you ever watch an episode and focus entirely on Joe (what? I don't do it often, honest!) you'll see he is completely in character and in the moment even while other people are talking. It's fascinating to watch. So much of what Sheppard is is portrayed by Joe - not just his delivery of the lines but also (perhaps even more so) his body language, his expressions, just everything...
He's not playing the character - he's being the character.
Prime example of his awesomely expressive acting is in The Seed (spoilers)Spoiler:
And, as I said to Joe at London Expo, scenes like the feeding scenes in Common Ground just go to show how great his acting is, where half his face is covered and he totally sells it just with his *eyes*.

I LOVED that scene in The Seed. Facial expressions just mean so much in acting. IMO, Joe's a master of it. As you said, his expressions and tone of voice etc... really gave the lines a different meaning compared to just reading them on paper. THAT, is what stars do, IMO.
