Oh yum a new camera!!! Hubby is addicted to buying new cameras. And he never takes pics. *eyeroll*

One of my addictions is cameras. I buy one and I'm never happy with the result. My other addiction is watches.

But it wasn't explained and the way it played out on screen certainly suggested Sheppard dialed Atlantis from Atlantis, which as you say, he couldn't. Yet another example of careless writing! Do the writers really think we're morons? Nope, don't answer that!

Oh wow! I feel so nostalgic!!!!!!! Thanks, SAF! Wasn't Bedford just the best? EVER!

I think your explaination has merit, Linzi. I would think he would need to follow the exact route (Stargate address) to correct the error. In other words back to the planet where he left. Sloppy writing indeed. I always felt they should have included a scene where Shep comes out of hibernation and struggles to get back to Atlantis.

And thanks for the links and pic whump SAF.

Pocus, I am so sorry about your FIL! Thinking of you, hubby, and his friends and family *huggles*

Some whump for you

And because it's pretty (and has a scratch

)

I'd have loved a scene like that! The thing is, Shep was hungry and no doubt thirsty when he went into stasis! He'd also collapsed and was exhausted. Then he does 800 odd years in stasis and he runs onto Atlantis just looking a little sandy! He should have been heroically staggering and collapsing, if you ask me. That would result in oxygen supplementation, an IV and lots of bed bathing!

Well it would in my world...

Great gifs and pics SAN Thanks!

Thank you all for your thoughts and hugs!!

A little, though I'm still very easily distracted so it's pretty slow at the moment. I hope to settle into it later today.

Well, I found out to day that I still get to take my vacation. In fact, my manager told me she wasn't even considering taking it back, becuase she wants me to take a little time off and relax.

They'll find a way to make things work.

So I'm VanCon/Joe Flanigan bound in just about a month!

(not to mention a week of well needed vacation time!)

*little happy dance*

Yay! That's great!

Ooh, thanks for those - but Grrr! at the fact that I still have no sound on my computer so can't look at them yet. I'm so impatient for the new one now. I've not dared switch this one off for nearly two months now. Last time I switched it off, it took four hours to get it to boot up again. I know you're not supposed to leave a computer on, but it seems like the lesser of two evils at the moment.

Well, that's the answer, then. He didn't get back through the Stargate and the wormhole; he got back through the massive plot hole.

Though not so much collapsing and heroic staggering that they banned him from going on the mission at the end of the episode. He's got an important date with destiny awaiting him, after all...

But, yes, I so would have loved a lot more from the episode at that point. I really, really wanted to see Sheppard struggling back from the statis chamber, through an Atlantis that was even more hot and sandy, and wrestling the physical effects of everything he's been through. I also really wished we'd seen a bit more from McKay and Ronon, reflecting the pain and worry they've been through while he's been missing.

(Though that part of it, at least, I wrote a missing scene tag for, and I often find that the mere fact of writing a missing scenes means that I almost come to terms with its absence. It's weird. Reading a missing scene only makes me mourn all the more the fact that it didn't appear in the episode, but writing it kind of reconciles me. Odd.)

That's great to hear, hon. Even without the issue of you losing money if you had to bail on the con, from what you'd said you are more than entitled to and NEED some time off!!

Oh we so need an AU re-write of the ep to give us just that!

**Strey** · 28 February 2009, 05:02 AM

This is random since we've moved on, but - I'm having second thoughts about whumper being 'vumper' m. and 'vumpra' f. in Latin. How about 'vumpator' m. and 'vumpatrix' f.?
'Vumpatrix' has such a lovely ring to it, don't you think? Okay, I'll shut up now.

Well, I just caught another typo in my writing. Sheppard, it seems, is suffering from "loos of fluid."

I also once again did my perennial "whumper/whimper" confusion. Yes, Sheppard has just given a faint whumper. It's all because someone threatened him with a gin.

Oooh, there's a thought... I need to write an entire (but short!) Shep whump fic totally riddled with amusing typos. "Mauled by savage breasts" and the like...

Hmm, nice one! You know, ever since that Latin discussion, I'd had the Latin version of Three Blind Mice in my head, and keep meaning to make it relevant to Sheppard:

OT for faux-Latin -

*beetles off to read Rhymer's 'very, very silly fanfic' and struggles not to hum 'Olim erat crocodilus' to the tune of 'In and out the dusty bluebells'*

EDIT: I remember cracking up over this one. 'Salve!' was the first word I learnt.
A must-read for anyone who did 'O' Level Latin, whump peeps!

I think there are two things at issue here for me. One is that I always have one character I want to whump in a show, and I'm almost... jealous? when anyone else gets the whump. So in that respect I'm not a fan of anyone-whump except for Sheppard. I do whump other characters in stories, but only if Sheppard has it worst.

Secondly, though, I do seem to have a hang-up about whumping female characters. I do try not to, since it feels... sexist, I guess. I don't like real life whump, but these are fictional characters, so there's no reason why I should react any differently to hurting woman. But I do. I just can't take pleasure in it. It feels too real, too uncomfortable.

Which is not for one moment to say that anyone who does like Teyla whump is wrong, just that I, personally, am uncomfortable with it. EDIT: And I should add that I feel bad about being uncomfortable about it.

ok, so now I´m headed off to bed (at 5 am

I can already hear the birds!!

Oh, thanks a bunch for all those! YouTube does need subtitles sometimes, mind you. Especially for cons. Still haven't a clue what anyone is saying! Still, worth watching just to see Joe chuckle with abandon. The Murphy Brown clips were priceless. He really does look about 17. Aw!
Also attempted to watch the pilot for Sherman's March. They would have lost me at the banjo intro - it's pre-9/11 NY, for crying out loud, not the freakin' Appalachians! And the 'dialogue' - I hesitate to even call it that - was beyond cliched. Aagh! Crappy pilot whump! No, stop! I give in! I'll give you my great great-grandmother's secret recipe for cranberry pie, just - don't make me watch the pilot, for pity's sake.... Have mercy!

An eye-opener. There are some things not even our boy can salvage. Wow. A major first.

EDIT: Okay, so he ends up in Durr-Ham, NC. Not Durrum, Brit whumpers. Durham? Hence, the banjo intro. No fair. I'd chose Durham, NC over NY, NY any day.
