Fnnngh....!

Nom!!!

Roawr.

For someone who's been painted as the 21st century Kirk by fandom, it's pretty funny that the only time John Sheppard ever got all alpha male with a woman was when he was infected by a wraith retro virus.

I honestly believe that Mallozzi was jealous and wouldn't let Sheppard be the romantic hero...since he said he had "deep-seeded (yeah, he said seeded) disdain for heroes." Sure as hell made money off of them, didn't he?

In a perfect world, the show would have stayed 100% gen, but since everyone else were happily settling down at the end of the show, I would have liked to see John finding someone too. It really came across as TPTB being spiteful.

I know. When I read that quote last year my eyes rolled.

Don’t get me started on the whole Kirk thing. Canon wise, John ‘shared’ himself with Chya. I’ve always hated the ‘glowy sex’ term because obviously it was spiritual/energy/chi type sharing.

The girl from the Tower pursued him and I think his horrid expression on his face when he learned her true intent should have been enough of what he thought about that. JM script btw.

Teer I think was his only on screen romance after feeling abandoned and left alone for six months.

The only time I saw real sparks fly with was with Larrin.

On the other hand Rodney had two relationships on screen. John flirted a few times and had one night with Teer and the next day he was back on Atlantis. Kirk my ass.

That's why there are hardly any fics written before season 4 that I can still read today. It feels like almost all writers, whether they wrote gen, het or slash jumped on the "John is a manwhore" bandwagon.

The thing with Chaya? Not sex.
The thing with Mara? She literally threw herself on him.
Teer? He'd been alone in the cloister for months, thinking that his friends had abandoned him, and she still had to make the first move.
Larrin? Had him at her mercy. (and it wasn't like they went to a spa together... ;) ).

But since Rodney called him Kirk, that meant he had to sleep around. Obviously. :/

"Kirk my ass"

Hahahahaha

I think John was too busy with Rodney..... :)

And the script....well, you know, TV lies. :)

BTW, how can I breathe when you post SUCH pics!!!????

I'm trying to top myself, what I can I say? :-P

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

From The Tower:

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: We got the drones, we got a few Jumpers. I even got the girl.
Dr. Elizabeth Weir: You got the girl?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, I mean I could have got the girl. I turned her down.

...so, canonically, unless he way lying to Elizabeth (and why would he bother when he could just NOT BRING IT UP IN CONVERSATION instead), he turned her down. Some Kirk! Although frankly, the whole legend of the Womanizing Kirk doesn't really hold up on scrutiny.

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, I mean I could have got the girl. I turned her down.

Oh, John. HEARTS

Not just on TV...even some of the novels have Sheppard portrayed as the "Kirk" type. In "Blood Ties", a woman he once knew tells him she always felt he 'connected best with strong women'. There are a couple others (can't place them right off) where Rodney makes offhand references to things like Sheppard's 'obligatory weekly Kirk moment'.

If we could have gotten a Season Six, I would have loved to see another episode with John and Larrin. There was just something between them.

*can hear the fangirls singing along with Berlin's 80s song "Take My Breath Away"*

I am both shivering and drooling. Surely something is bugging me...

[stella-pegasi.livejournal.com]

LOL...I hear ya!!!!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Sounds like classic symptoms of Joe addiction.

[stella-pegasi.livejournal.com]

Just breathe???? Easy said than done when looking at this...omg, that man is hot....

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

He is sizzling!!

[dinabr.livejournal.com]

Can't breathe ....

[psychicvanity.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I read the subject line before seeing the picture! Am now concentrating on deep, even breathing and not fannishly swooning. Thanks!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Deep and slow. Deep and slow :D

[soryu]

Ggghhhnnn!!!
Uhm...Yeah. *stares*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

And stares some more!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Awww. Glad to give you moment's reprieve :D

[admiralandrea.livejournal.com]

Ooh, he's got that intense look again! Yummeh!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

I have a thing for his intense looks.

;;;THUD;;;

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, one of the most interesting episodes................one of the very best.
I wish there had been more like it and less like some of the others they created.
Joe was amazing in Conversion.\
Thank you for the lovely reminder.

[dinabr.livejournal.com]

He had an option to be a BAD guy & he did it very GOOD .. :)

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

Yes but poignant also.............e.g. when he walked into Weir's space followed by the marine and announced "look!! I made a new friend"

Breathe

[louise3anne.livejournal.com]

Your comments are all breath taking. i am spellbound once again. A daily Joe fix hurts my heart and gets my tear glands going. *sumpin in my eye*
Is it wrong to hav a grudge against a writer? I don't like to not like anyone, so there's a certain SGA writer I don't follow, don't like and try not to think about. Bad Karma.
There's lots of chatter on twitter about Joe not tweeting. Wish he would.
Thanks for the photo. It always makes my day : )
