Wow, that was quick! The computer I'm on is really slow but I saw that I had a new email so I decided to check my inbox, even though it took about ten minutes to load and the whole time I'm thinking 'it's nothing, or it's junk mail, or another letter from a Russian wannabe mail-order bride complete with rotten English who got my email from a marriage agency that suggested I was 1) a guy and 2) interested in 'serious relations' with her'. Um. Hmm. Anyway, I'm glad I checked and found the notification of your response. It was all worth it! Lol.
I'm so intrigued by the notion of Shep as a 'signatory official'- I'm used to him being 'military commander extraordinaire', rather than paper-pusher. What kinds of things do you think he'd be approached about? Things like restocking ammunition and...and...my imagination fails me. Heck, I have no idea what Elizabeth's always working on with her *five* laptops and little PDA thingies and wall interface- it's harder to imagine what official boring paperwork Shep's doing offscreen. Or not doing and passing off to Lorne. That should be a fic prompt- I love Lorne's sense of humor and he gets heaps of wity lines. He and Shep play off each other so well with their drollness. I watched Coup D'etat recently:
Sheppard [in prison cell]: Major. Lorne: Colonel. Sheppard: Way to be alive. Lorne [dryly]: Thanks, sir! So, have you come to rescue us? Sheppard: Well, until about a moment ago I thought you were dead, but now that I see you speaking and breathing... yeah, I’m thinkin’ about it. Lorne: Well, good. [waits a beat] Let me know if there’s anything we can do to help, huh?
*giggles madly*
I completely forgot about the guitar and surfboard! [Which ep did he go 'there could be surfing in our future' and then Elizabeth ix-nays it for some reason?] I really would've enjoyed seeing him surfing in some random ep- that could've been the teaser for Echoes! Shep's surfing and the whale surfaces and that causes huge waves that send him spluttering into the water...hee...I can just see him all dripping and indignant. 'Wait til I get in a jumper and come after you with a few drones, *then* we'll see who's laughing!'
