btw, i'm not a fan of either ship because i don't watch the show. but shippers stick together!

(((atlantis shippers)))

that particular

Spoiler:

had nothing to do with Shep/Wier-it was the entities that had inhabited the characters and the being that inhabited Elizabeth initiated the kiss-it was not mutual and it wasn't real-and why should they play the Elizabeth/John fans any different than the sam/jack fans.

I like Atlantis, but I ain't shipping for any pairing on the show. They are going to pull the same crap on them as they did with us. It might even be worse because they can play Teyla/Sheppard shippers against the Weir/Sheppard Shippers and so on.

hence my distrust of the people in charge of the shows.

let's face it-they do the slap and tickle very well and I am not interested nor amused.

I feel exactly the same way.

I think Atlantis's "The Long Goodbye" was expressly designed as an Equal Opportunity Shipping episode--but the end result is frustration for all shippers. I'm NOT shipping for any pair, but I can see long looks between Sheppard/Weir [the one I would root for if I'm not careful], hear scripted dialog between Sheppard/Telya, and infer shippy moments between Caldwell/Weir(the only one that makes me cringe), Ronan/Teyla, McKay/Weir, and although I'm not into slash: Sheppard/McKay, Beckett/McKay, and assorted minor characters in combo. They must be pumping pheromones in to the Atlantis air supply, pretty much guaranteeing that anyone in a room with anyone else has a shippy moment.

I really do not believe that the writers/producers intend to be mean to the shippers--and I think they are truly baffled when we're not satisfied with what they give us. They just think about the show and the characters differently than we do. For us "Stargate" is fantasy universe that we visit regularly. We develop affection for the characters much the same way we do for characters in beloved novels like "Pride and Prejudice" or "Little Women" or "Middlemarch." We're willing to suffer with those characters for years because we expect a payoff in the end.

The writers, on the other hand, see each episode as a place to explore an idea or see what might work with a character--as long as they're 'in the ballpark' of the "Stargate" universe, they don't see a problem. Thus, once they've given us what they think is a romantic payoff for Sam and Jack, they feel free to move on to have the characters do as they please. In my head Sam and Jack are resolved. I'm going to leave them that way.

And, whenever I feel myself slipping into shippery thoughts about "Atlantis," I'm going to remind myself of how the writers dealt with S/J. Just NOT going down that road again.

I'm pretty much shipping for everyone on that show... As in I know it's probably going to be all screwy in the end, so why not just take whatever I can and be happy with it I admit I've leaned towards Shep/Weir, but i'm NOT going to invest myself at all into it... The way I see it on Atlantis, everyone gets with everyone, and that's how I justify all the diff. potential ships, lol. Yes in a weird way it works for/helps me.

on Atlantis the only pair I ship for is the puddlejumper and the gate-at least that way I am guarrenteed that there will be some action.

[scjon]

I think that there are many more overt ships on Atlantis that SG-1. If I had to pick one that I could see more clearly than the rest, it would have to be Shep/Weir. But unlike Sam/Jack, (even in the early days), I don't find myself really thinking about it very much.

RESULTS OF THE VALENSHIP POLL !!!

First, let me remind you about the poll we had running during Valenship yesterday.
It's now a tradition on Ship days (THE Ship Day or the mini-Ship days) to have a poll so that people can discuss about shippy stuff... If I remember well, we had 'What's your favorite shippy scene?' and 'What's your favorite hug scene ?' (or something like that)
For Valenship, the poll was :
What’s your favorite shippy quote ?

Note : we've only done the seasons 1 to 4 because... well, because it was long enough ! And because we wanted to leave something for the next ship event !

1 - Children of The Gods
Sam : You know, you really will like me when you get to know me.
Jack :Oh, I adore you already, Captain.

2 - Broca Divide
Jack : "By the way. How's the wound?"
Sam : "Wound?"
Jack : "I understand you got stabbed in the stomach or something?"
Sam : "Oh, yeah, it was nothing. With any luck there won't even be a scar."
Jack : "Oh good, I was concerned."
Sam : "You were?"
Jack : "Sure. If it doesn't heal properly you'll never wear that sweet little tank top number again."

3 - Hathor
Sam : Wow! That's a miracle.
Jack : Crunches.

4 - Solitudes
Sam : "Sir?"
Jack : "It's my side arm, I swear."

5 - There But For The Grace of God
AUSam : "Jack..."
AUJack : "Come here." He hugs her.
AUCatherine, as Daniel turns to her: "I take it they're not engaged in your reality."
Daniel: "No..."

6 - Politics
Jack : "Alright, wait a minute. Let me...let me get something straight. Engaged?"
Sam : "It is theoretically possible."
Jack : "It's against regulations."
Sam : "I'm talking physics, Sir.”

7 - In The Line of Duty
Jack: You did it Sam, you won.
Sam: [Shakes her head] It wasn't me.
Jack: Oh yes it was. You hung in there, you beat it.
Sam: The Goa'uld gave its life for me. It saved me.

8 - The Tok’ra part I
Martouf: I assure you Sir, she will be very safe with me.
Sam : Colonel, I need to do this, please.
Jack : Okay Son, but I want you to have her back by 11 o'clock. You understand?

9 - Spirits
Jack: Sam?
Sam:Coronel?
Jack: First Command… cool!
Sam: I’ll do my best Sir (Sam smiles)
Jack: I know you will Captain
Sam: Thanks (Sam blushes and looks down…) (Note from LOL4JACK : She was so into him already!)

10 - Point of View
AUSam: "I know you well enough to know that you don't have a clue what to say...but you don't have to say anything."
Jack: "C'mere."

11 - Small Victories
Sam : Still going fishing? (Smiles)
Jack : Yep. (Grins) Still staying here?
Sam : Yeah. I think I've had enough relaxation for a while, Sir. (Note from Flo : I wonder what they did during one whole week so that she’s so relaxed !)
Jack : (Grins slowly) OK!
Sam : (Smiling) Have fun.

12 - Divide and Conquer
Jack : I didn’t leave… because I’d rather die than lose Carter.
Anise : Why ?
Jack : Because I care about her… a lot more than I’m supposed to.

13 - Window of Opportunity
Hammond : Colonel ? Why are you out of uniform ?
Jack : Handing you my resignation.
Sam : Resigning ? What for ?
Jack : So I can do… this.

14 - Watergate
Doctor Markov : ( To Sam) Is he ALWAYS like this?
Sam : Actually, this is quite charming. (Smiles)

15 - Beneath the Surface
Jack/Jonah: I remember feeling feelings
Sam/Thera: For me
Jack/Jonah : No for Tor... I don't remember much, but I DO remember that.
Sam : So…
Jack : So… I’m just saying.
Sam/Thera : Well, then I feel better.

16 - Entity
Hammond : We may have to make some difficult choices. I know that Major Carter means a great deal to you.
Jack : She's a very valuable member of my team Sir.
Hammond : Yes she is.

17 - And another one from Entity...
Sam : I was shouting for you to hear.
Jack : We heard.

Thanks so much for doing this florence. I knew I'd forgotten to do something yesterday. I'm not surprised about the poll result. It's what I would have voted for . One of the greatest moments in Stargate history!

I think that there are many more overt ships on Atlantis that SG-1. If I had to pick one that I could see more clearly than the rest, it would have to be Shep/Weir. But unlike Sam/Jack, (even in the early days), I don't find myself really thinking about it very much.

I taped the second showing of SG and Atlantis, but I ran out of tape half-way through Atlantis. Curses! I'll just have to wait until they repeat it to find out how it turned out. First half seemed pretty good though. I'm not shipping for anyone on Atlantis; I'm just enjoying it for the episodes themselves. I remember when I used to do that for SG in the pre- days. No way am I going down that road again with these same PTB! Good luck to all you other Atlantis shippers though. May your paths be easier than ours were.

In regards to the whole Weir/Shep 'ship:

Spoiler:

When Phoebus/Weir kissed Thalen/Sheppard, it was just a rouse by Phoebus. Phoebus and Thalen were at war with each other. She tricked Caldwell and the others just so she could get the chance to kill Thalen.

At least our coupling was real - just alternate realities/timelines. And I'm not counting Jonah/Thera. Those weren't other people inhabiting Jack and Sam. Essentially they were Jack and Sam - without the regs standing in the way.
