Ok, so it's early, i've not had coffee yet, and i'm still not awake, but a girl can dream. I think that would be my fantasy ep, then off course

Really hard to pick my 3 fave episodes. I've got more!! So I'll go with these for now:-
The Defiant One...action, whumped Sheppy!
Common Ground...great acting by Joe.
Travelers...action, whumped, clever, funny Shep...all packed into one episode!
Want to add Conversion and DG to that list as well though.
Least fave:-
GUP...just found it boring and I really don't see any chemistry between Sam and Rodney.
Missing....bit cliched and not enough Shep.
Can't really think of a third one yet. Will have to give it some thought!

The great thing about S&H was that you got regular top notch whump and lots of comfort too! Just makes me squee!!!!!
I was a Hutchie first and foremost and I dont think he ever got intubated- but was really hot and sweaty in his hospital gown in The Plague which made me very happy ( and Mx too). Oh and we are going to see Starsky on Wednesday so I will have intubated on my mind now when I meet him hehehe!

SQUEEE, ok so it's just a baby one, but it's a start.
That for me is the big factor for whump, fair enough I know the time restraints don't always allow it, but for me the teamyness is a big pull factor where whumpshumpydoodles is concerned. What's the point of someone being hurt if no one could give a toss? That's why I think I love the team being there, I need to feel the *luff in the room*. While I do love the character development for Shep, the strong soldier, carrying on through gritted teeth as he braves the perils of the PG. I do want to see that someone cares. I think that's why I was so narked with some of the ST eppies, the healing was done too fast and you never got to see the team luff because of the advances in medicine, so noone was really worried. But that's why I love SGA, it's set in the here and now, and there's that sense of commoraderie. When Shep's hurting, they all hurt. *sniff*
Oh dear I am very tangenty today.

Well I will have to control myself now and not mention my passion for intubated and nekkid under the infirmary sheet hehe!!!!
I have seen Paul twice before - but only once to speak to- I didnt say that much as I was rather star struck at the time - but did get him to sign a dentist receipt I found in my pocket!!!!
I need to get a nice sliver perm marker so he can sign a S&H photo that I have that is already signed by David!
David I have met more times than I can remember (mostly in pubs hehehe) and have even been given goodbye kiss (Mx got one too and we nearly crashed the car after that hehe) shame he hasnt kept his looks

And now there's Women's Murder Club with Joe as a guest. SQUEEEEEEEEE.
As to my fave three SGA episodes. That's a really dificult one because there are so many good episodes.
I have to go with
38 Minutes because it was Shep's first whump. A bug attached to your neck can't but a good situation.
Common Ground because it was Shep's worse whump. Being feed on by a Wraith and aged has got to be a terrible thing. Especially as he didn't know that he would get his life back eventually. His only memory would be of what happened to Sumner and Dr. Gall.
Doppelganger becauseSpoiler:Shep was so emotionally confused and upset over the fact that the crystal entity was hurting and could kill his people.
My least favorite three.....
Grace Under Pressure Nearly forty five minutes of McKay's angsty babble was more than enough for me. It has to be the only episode I haven't watch more then twice.
MissingSpoiler:Just not enough of the guys in that one for me. And Keller got on my nerves.
Reunion Don't ask me why but I just didn't like this one.
Congrats to Elf on 6300 posts!!

I still wish an ep would beat my love for 38 mins but alas it has not...they just dont do those through and through whump eps anymore lol well since that one time...damnit! season 4 has been awesomly whumpy, TR was just wow, but no ep is a 38 mins!
WAVES to Roo,
Long time no see... hope you had a great christmas..
I agree, nothing has yet surpassed 38 Minutes for me either. There have been some great whump moments but non that match the overall package of 38 minutes.
Millers Crossing was a boring ep, one of MGs worse ones for mckay (and i think hes burnt himself out now writing rodney, its becoming stale imo) i personally think MG should write for the others now but tptb wont tell him to so thats that! however the shep stuff saved this ep for me,
joe was amazing! i know you dont agree though, but thats what i think.
Its funny though, cos i accept there are weak eps in any series i watch...but my worse 3 eps i named i really cant ever stomach watching...not even for the 3 secs of shep in each of them.
Me thinks they should just never do 90:10 character eps ever again....you gotta have enough team!
Yeah but fans will enjoy having 40 minutes of their fav character. But if you're not a fan of that character then 40 minutes of them can be torturous..
I don't mind one character centric eps, if they are a bit action packed and you get some other character interaction as well, and if their fairly fast moving. That's why I enjoyed Missing and Reunion, but TRW and GUP had nothing but non stop Weir and Rodney and bored me to death.
But if either of those eps had Shep in that role I probably would have enjoyed them so again a lot has to do with whether it's your fav character.
Oh.. I'm getting images of wet and delusional Shep... yep, GUP would definitely been better with Shep in that role, but thats because I prefer Shep over Rodney..sigpic

Good Morning Whumpers!! Sorry, I wasn't able to play yesterday. got busy with RL!
Originally posted by Listy View PostI was reading through my ep guide books and my mind wandered off and was trying to pick out some eps and having trouble, so I ask the following questions (just because I am indecisive and being nosey)..... If you had to pick only three episodes to watch ever again of SGA (two part eps can count as one choice) which would you choose and why?
Also if you could pick three episodes to never watch again which would they be and why? I think mine would be all the eps that had no whump or had the potential for whump but just messed it up which would be more than 3 (well it is the whump thread )
Finally a really difficult one for me.... which is your favourite whump ep of all the SGA's so far?
The three I could only watch?
1. TDO
2. Letters from Pegasus
3. Common Ground
Actually pretty much everything from S1 would fit here and the first two eppys of S4)
The three I will never watch:
1. Phantoms
2. The Tower
3. This Mortal Coil
Although most of S4 (so far) and quite a bit of S2 would fit this catergory.sigpic

If I could only watch 3 episodes of SGA, they'd be:
38 Minutes
Still my absolute favourite whump ep - Sheppy is whumped from start to finish, for once he can't just soldier on and ignore it, he has to rely on his friends to help him, and yet he stays strong and comes up with solutions himself. We see the pain, we see the weakness and even a little despair. And we see him die and we see them fighting to bring him back and we even get a lovely infirmary scene. Oooh oooh! And we get bare chestage! Whump doesn't get much better than this!
Common Ground
I admit from a whump perspective I like the latter part of the episode less as Sheppy's just not as much fun when he's old and wrinkly.. But I love the story and I love his relationship with the Wraith and I love his team's depserate search for him and the horror of them having to watch what is happening to him... and the first half of the episode is incredible in terms of whump - Sheppard captured, imprisoned, zapped with a cattle prod, dragged, chained to a chair and tortured... actually seeing the Wraith feeding on him and his fear and his pain. Incredible.
Tabula Rasa
I really enjoyed this episode. I admit picking my third ep was a tough decision and I'm still not sure I shouldn't have picked Doppelganger over this tp.. but I loved this ep not just for Sheppard but for the whole team's involvement and the storyline was good and the whump was good - and, crucially I think,Spoiler:the whump in this was real, whereas the knock-down, drag-out whump in DG, whilst wonderful, suffers from the fact that it wasn't real and there seem to be no consequences to it - in TR the whump is real and there are consequences.. specifically that wonderful infirmary scene. That scene clinched the choice for me as if I could only rewatch 3 eps ever then that infirmary scene, with Sheppard waking up all drowsy and confused, and seeing his team's concern for him, seeing it canon that they are hanging round the ifirmary waiting enxiously for him to awake, has got to be in there! DG comes close more for the incredible emotional whump of Sheppard's reactions when he believes McKay is dead.. but the TR infirmary scene clinches it.
Episodes if I had to pick 3 never to be able to watch again:
Irresponsible
This episode just didn't do it for me. I've rarely rewatched it and then only for the Sheppy hawtness. So much wasted opportunity - for whump and for the first time Sheppard and Kolya meet again after the events of Common Ground. The angst that should have been. *sigh* And what a waste of Kolya as an incredible nemisis for Sheppard. Trying to mix comedy with what should have been the very serious and dark consequences of Common Ground was a disaster.
The Real World
Again, I've rarely rewatched and when I do I FF and watch just the bits with Sheppard in. I've nothing against Weir and I was pleased for Torri to have an episode in which to dig her teeth in and really do some acting but, as a character, Weir just doesn't interest me enough to want to spend that much time watching just her. I could live without this one.
Missing
Same reason as above.Spoiler:I like Teyla but this episode made me realise I love her as part of the team; I love her interactions with others. Teyla on her own, or with just Keller - who again I don't dislike but I have no huge love for her either, she's fine but I'm not hugely invested in her - simply didn't hold my interest. At all. Again, I was pleased to see Teyla/Rachel given something to do and I don't dislike the episode.. it just didn't interest me enough to want to watch it more than once.
And lastly, favourite whump ep of all the eps so far?
The original and still the best - 38 Minutes. Yet to be beaten.sigpic

Favorite whumpy ep of all time: Common Ground. I think the difference for me that puts CG above 38 Min is you watch the whump unfold in CG. That first feeding was so unexpected (and still makes my heart skip a beat). In 38 Minutes, he was already in trouble when the ep started.
epiphany wouldve been better had they stuck to JF's original idea, brad wright really ruined it....or they couldve at least not had that stupid healing girl in it!!! so when the team came shep was all bloody and injured and mmmmmm

Oh dear I am very tangenty today.
but yes i agree, thats why i love whump- the reactions from his team mates ...makes it all the more better. this is why travelers didnt make my top 3 becauseSpoiler:he may have got some really nice whump but the team werent there to be all concerned and he wasnt even in the infirmary at the end or anything!
TDO made my top 3- granted theres no infirmary and the whole team arent there- but the team are concerned in the PJ and Rodneys worry for shep makes it so fab...even just asking if hes ok.....all that concern! and even gaul notices how much rodney wants to help shep!
38 mins and conversion teamy worriednessgoodness! and TR was close, ronon and teylas concern is so evident ahhh.

Yeah Rodney was just stale in this ep and he didnt hold my interest at all.
What!! Joe stole the whole ep IMO... I always find Joe and his acting to be amazing... my problem was with the decisions Shep made, and eventhough I didn't agree with them, Joe did an amazing job.
Is Shep the exception to that rule..
Yeah but fans will enjoy having 40 minutes of their fav character. But if you're not a fan of that character then 40 minutes of them can be torturous..

i still think they shouldnt have these character focused eps, even if it meant loosing a shep ep (we had to wait 4 seasons for him to get one anyway!) but the whole characters taking 35 mins and the team having less than 10 mins just doesnt work for me.
damn i caught PEGGY's tangentyness!! (yeh i made that word up!)

i cant bear to watch it for other reasons though....unlike the 3 i named where i cant stand shep not being in it enough....this ep...well do i really have to explain myself...me thinks you all know by now!!
Id fit most of season 4 in my top eps....maybe not so much for the eps themselves but because i think the shep character has been taken in great ways this year....certain scenes just really stand out this year, ones from Adrift and TR and stuff lol.....and you know the whump helped the past couple of seasons hes just not been given enough to get his teeth into...apart from CG and the end of sunday. oh and conversion duh!

I never want to see Irresponsible again, and could do without H&S, TRW, GUP, The Tower and PTW.
Originally posted by Rootortoise View Postooh i wanna get in on the 3 eps thing...
38 mins - goes without saying surely, no ep has ever beat this in terms of whump, not to mention team worry and infirmary stuff! this remains my ultimate favourite whumpy ep, and ep in general..just cos its fab! i only wish it had been made in season 2 with ronon instead of annoying ford!
TDO - whump is great, action sheppy, smart sheppy, shep/mckay love! no infirmary scene but some nice mckay worry!
and Conversion i think.....i thought about TR because the whump is really fab in that one but then i realised that you really cant beat carson looking after a whumped sheppy...and shep is all whumped and yummy, rushed in on the gurney and stuff , all vunerable and yum! (-like TR....but conversion is a shep eppy so if i could only watch 3 then id choose that i think)
TR was very close though....plus i love T and DG butSpoiler:no infirmary time/team comfort and as i said, you cant beat carson looking after shep (please bring carson back for season 5, i take it back, i miss him and keller kinda sucks!)...and anyway in T hes ok after the initial beating and DG whump isnt even real!
CG is close too but looses out because im a shallow whumper....although i find buggy shep more attractive than old fart shep in Cg...is that weird?
but hey if i was stuck with only 3 eps for the rest of my life, id have to go for mostly pretty whump! plus in CG - no infirmary scene damnit! why is it so hard! teyla was in there after the ark, just to make sure there were no after affects!

oh yeh!!! i still really want Shep being whumped so much that when he comes through the gate he collapses in front of everyone and then carson (in my ideal world where hes back) rushes in and they take him away on a gurney ala suspicion without the stupid far away camera angle!
