For me there were a couple of emotional scenes in Rising. This pic is when Jack tells him that if he doesn't volunteer then he doesn't want him on the team to go to Pegasus. For me, I think it means a lot that someone like Jack who has a good reputation wants him on the team. And even though it's initially for his 'ata gene' I don't think Jack would have asked him to go if he wasn't worthy of it, and we know how picky Jack can be. So I think, Shep doesn't want to let him down and it's here he starts realising (for whatever reason) that he's needed for something big and better, but he's not to sure whether to take that risk or not. I have a feeling that being in the antarctic was Shep punishing himself rather than his bosses punishing him....
Oh my so long winded and that was only the first one
*sniff* I love this pic, it makes my heart go out to him. It's like he has purposely seperated himself from the rest of the world. And this pic makes me really sad to think that he hasn't got anyone to share this moment with. So he's torn between doing something worthwhile or staying behind and continue torturing himself for maybe mistakes or hurt that's taken place in the past.
Emotional whump 4/10
Oh that was fun Thanks SD and Linz for coming up with this
Oh I agree Peg - he certainly went through lots of turmoil in this epsiode. There was certainly a lot of angst involved. I guess the whole epsiode ended in loads of emotional whumpage too- on the basis that he realised that he has woken up the Wraith.
Shall we each do one overall rating at the end of the discussions- so that it is easy for me to keep count?
Hey I have another idea - since we havent had any spoilers or anything new to squee about we need something to keep the thread going with some on topic chat.
A while ago Linzi and I went through all the seasons to work out which was the whumpiest and it was good fun along the way.
We could do something similar. Take each episode one by one starting with Rising......post some relevant pics chat about the whump in each and then all award it a whump mark out of say 10. I will then average all the scores for each episode and we will have a final star rating for each epidsode and then get to find out the best whump season according to the whumpers.
The scores out of 10 would not be how much we liked the ep but the quality of any physical/emotional whumpage.
Anyone interested? We could do a couple of eps a day?
Excellent idea I don't think I have many ep pics from season one so my post might just be text
I greened her for the story. I'm feeling great, still a bit tender, but it's getting better and better everyday. Hopefully it will be fully healed by the time I leave on vacation.
That's a great idea. I was just about to throw a question out to get something going myself.
I agree for Rising parts I and II, 4/10. I also wondered how it was Shep seemed to recover so quickly and didn't appear numb. Maybe it was just a glancing shot, or maybe TPTB hadn't decided how stunners would make people feel then!
OK firstly doing a header into the snow - darn not a scratch
Emotional whump when he was trying to decide whether to go or not.
Physical whump when he was stunned, and then dumped like a sack of spuds onto the table - far too quick recovery
Emotional whump when he had to shoot his CO
Emotional whump when he realised he was responsible for waking the wraith.
I would go with a four maybe four and a half out of ten for this ep. more emotional whump than physical, for me

Oh what about the falling down when he is following Teyla!
