Used with permission from the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] crysothemis!

Oh! ♥
*melts*

Finally, after all these years we get... The Hug!!! ♥

This clip comes from the 'Goodbye Atlantis' vid over at MGM.
Be warned - Joe Mallozzi alert. Meh! :-(

I've made a few *cough* screen caps from the original vid (quality is pretty bad unfortunately.) Please feel free to squee, snag, squee, icon, squee, wallpaper them around your house, squee... ;-)


































































Oh, boys! ♥

ETA:
If anyone wants to download & save the whole vid you can do it with this link.
Or you can just watch it here. (Both links are at the MGM site.) :-)
ETA2:
I realised that in my joy, squee & excitement, I'd used Crysothemis's gif without getting permission (though it wasn't hot-linked). I've taken it down so please do flock to her lj & ogle it there! :-)
ETA3 (I know - it's getting like War & Peace here! *g*)
The gracious [livejournal.com profile] crysothemis has given permission for me to put the original gif back up. \o/ Plus the lovely [livejournal.com profile] berlinghoff79 has made 'snurchable' banners of The Hug & so I'm including one here too. Yay! I just want to have them hugging in my lj forever. ♥

\0/ BEST. LJ. POST. EVER. \0/


*well, until the day we get a kiss...

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so glad I didn't go over the top with the caps... ;-)
\o/

Omg - can you imagine if there was a kiss? We'd pretty much expire from the squee on the spot! *g*

I fear I might be drooling at work! but only two words come to mind right now: FINALLY!!! and thanks! *BBIIIIIGG SIGH* ... they're just TOOO SWEET!!

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
I know!!! I was sure we'd get a J&R hug during The Shrine & then we didn't (though we did get some of the best scenes ever!) So finally we have this (I know it's Joe & David but they look remarkably like John & Rodney... *ggg*)

\o/
The Hug!!!

Eh? I wasn't aware of this... thanks so much for pointing it out - I'm going to watch it now!!! :D

I have quicktime pro so I can save it for posperity too :D

Oh, me too! I ♥ them so much.

I know (we only had to wait 5 years! *g*)

[identity profile] perfica.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Please feel free to squee

DON'T MIND IF I DO!

That was a long hug and that's not my tinhat talking. I <3 the boys and I miss them!

And on a somber note, why didn't JM's talk about JF? He can talk about the three team members plus include a segment on JS plus talk about RP but no JF? That's utter bullshit.

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
*squee*
It's just a natural reaction! *g*

I know - it was a long hug. ♥ It just makes me feel so happy to know that they're friends.
I know how you feel. This made me melt but it made me a little sad too - I miss them so much.

Oh, JM! Pah! I think it was beyond tacky (& downright rude) that he didn't even mention the guy who's had first credit on the show for five years! (And been one of the reasons for its success & popularity!)
As much as I love JS, it felt unfair that her segment seemed to take up virtually as much time as the other mentioned cast members put together.

I could watch that gif all day long. Thanks for posting this <3

I know! ♥

(The wonderful [livejournal.com profile] crysothemis made the gif! I can take no credit - I'm just squeeing every time I watch! *g*)

[identity profile] withlightning.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
Made of win. Can't wait to get home and start photoshopping *g*

Thank you so much for this post, I was also unaware of the vid and the hug. OMG, THE HUG!

Isn't it just fabulous?

Thank goodness for vids & fanfic & art! :-)

It's such a lovely, heartfelt, loving hug! They obviously really do love each other (in a manly way I'm sure!).

I watched the entire thing on the MGM site and I feel the same as you. I couldn't understand why JF didn't get his own segment and it was very noticeable that JM had nothing at all to say about RL who got a tiny snippet of a segment, whereas JS's segment was much longer. All kudos to JS but she was only in 2 seasons and RL was in all 5! I loved the DH bit but it made no sense at all that JF wasn't featured. His absence when he's the headliner for the show seemed quite pointed.


[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It really is a lovely, 'real' hug, isn't it? Bless them! ♥

I was disgusted with the way JM just ignored JFlan. That was very, very tacky - no class at all. And poor RL was pretty much an afterhtought, as usual. Just like the way they treated Teyla. *sigh*
I really like JS & it wasn't her fault they wrote her character so inconsistently but why did she get such a chunk of this 'goodbye' compared to everyone else?
Joe Mallozzi just makes me grind my teeth! Grrrr.

You're so welcome! We need every available medium for this momentous hug! ♥

I snagged a few of these, thank you! I miss them so much!

Oh, feel free to put the gif back up. I don't mind! Fandom = sharing = love!

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you so much!
I'd just been so full of joy & squee & then realised that I hadn't asked your permission! Ack! In my defence, this hug has pretty much melted my brain. ;-)
Thanks again!

You made my day, dear. And my heart jumps up!

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, that's just gorgeous!
*melts*

Um, is it okay for me to use it please? Or am I being presumptious?

Yikes! I'm so besotted by the hug that my fingers aren't working properly! I mean presumptuous.

Watching this clip made me both happy and sad. It's going to be another "classic" in McShep part of fandom =)

And I'm not even going to comment on JM lack of acknowledgment for Joe. 'Cos it's beyond outrageous.

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know what you mean - it made me feel a little melancholy. I miss them so much!
But it's so perfect too - I keep just staring at it. ♥

I'm disgusted by JM's behaviour to be honest - that was just downright rude. It was so pointed that JFlan was the only cast member not mentioned. Grrr.

I'm as melted as a very, very melt-y thing. *g*

[identity profile] shepsgirl.livejournal.com 2009-03-17 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm no McShepper but that was a beautiful moment between friends and I love how they are all like family. After seeing the wonderful bond Jason and Joe had as well, its such a shame that the ptb squandered all that wonderful chemistry to hightlight Keller and Mckay at the end. I cannot say how disgusted I am at JM that he could blatantly snub the leading star of the show and give so much time to Jewel Staite and not one mention to Joe Flanigan. Unbelievabley unprofessional but sadly the writers obsession with Jewel and David took over the show and everyone else got sidelined just like in his farewell video.

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-18 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
I love the idea that the cast really are friends - reading the DH & JF have met up for lunch in LA just makes me ridiculously happy. The same for reading con reports about how genuine the friendships really are between all the cast just makes me smile. ♥

I think JM's behaviour has been rude, unprofessional & downright tacky. Whereas, from what I've read, even when he's been talking about how things ended, JF has been nothing but classy (just as I'd expect.)

Let's hope the cast get to work together again or if not, at least maintain their close bonds. ♥

My that was a long hug. And I think they were whispering sweet nothings mumbling to each other pretty much all the way through it.

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-18 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'd love to know what they were saying. ;-)

HUGS!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm not too coherant in the face of the ADORABLENESS.

It's adorable either way, as a John and Rodney one, or as Joe and David being friends and HUGGING!!!

Ahem. I mean, yeah, pretty cool *attempts to be all Sheppard-like*

[identity profile] bluespirit-star.livejournal.com 2009-03-18 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Omg, I know! We get Joe & David friendship plus (because they're in uniform) John & Rodney relationship! ♥
I'm in adorableness, cute overload!!

Heh, oh yeah - way laconic - I totally thought you were John there for a minute. ;-)
