John Sheppard is like if a cool suave dude was a fucking dork

"Seriously, this is a bad idea. You saw what happened to my last plan. This is not what—" "You're not going anywhere…. I will shoot you if you don't let her go." "And risk hurting Dr. Weir?" "I'm not aiming at her."

not surprising at all really that as soon as sumner died elizabeth weir immediately told john to pick an off-world team rather than assigning him an office or something as Expedition Military Commander. she's an experienced dog owner, she took one look at this man and went oh yeah this breed isn't suited to full-time urban living. he will make my life a living hell if i keep him inside all day. highly intelligent, great with children, top-notch guarding instincts, will 100% shred every piece of furniture in atlantis if he doesn't get enough time off leash
