thegrrrl2002Yesterday I caught the rerun of "The Hive" that aired on Scifi and was reminded that it contained one of my most favorite Sheppard scenes of all time--when he's imprisoned on the Wraith Ship with the wraith worshiper chick, Neera. Clowns. Oh, John. Plus, you can never go wrong with intimate close-ups of JF's face.
John explains to Neera that they aren't going to be imprisoned for long, not if he can help it.
She asks if he's afraid of the wraith, and he answers "the Wraith? Naah. Now clowns -- that's another story. Scare the crap out of me." With the most perfect deadpan delivery. It's the height of adorableness. Or maybe this is:
Neera: "How will you get us out of here?" John: "OK, I haven't figured that part out yet -- but when I do, it's gonna be real impressive."
Then Neera decides she's cold and is going to cuddle for warmth. She's trying to use her womanly charms to get information out of John. John is immediately suspicious, because he has no idea why a girl would want to sit that close to him.
Then we get the tight closeup, and John talking in that low, soothing voice, gah--I could listen to that all day.
She's asking a lot of questions about where John's from...
Neera: Tell me what it looks like. John: Like every other world, I suppose: trees, water, mountains, Starbucks on every corner.
John is so totally on to her.
If I were that actress I'd make them have to reshoot this scene over and over and over again. ::wistful sigh::
Then John is even more clever and sets the wraith queens against each other and then he escapes and he's smart capable John and that's just really, really hot. Yay John!
