Sheppard And Weir Info Dumps

Mar 22, 2006 20:57

This is a follow up to my initial post about Dr Rodney McKay, from a month back. You should also check out princeali_m_fan's awesome Teyla Emmagan post. I have the other majors and a few of the minors worked out, will post them later.

It's got to the point where I read so much fic that I can't remember what's canon and what's fanon, so I made a list of all the facts that are actually mentioned in the show.

There's info here from up to 220: "Allies," but not much in the way of spoilers. This is not major episode events, but just side comments that may or may not get picked up by writers. If I've missed anything, let me know, and I'll add it.

Major/Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard

In Afghanistan, he had two good buddies, fellow pilots Mitch and Dex. Sheppard led them on a dangerous rescue of some special ops team, part of which involved flying their Black Hawks over a bridge with enemy tanks on it. Later, one of the most dangerous warlords in the country sit down at their table and practiced his English on Sheppard half the night, not even letting him get up to go to the bathroom. Two days later, a rocket powered grenade blow Mitch and Dex to bits when their helicopter landed for a medevac outside Kabul [probably between November 2001 and October 2002] (109 “Home”)

Has set foot on every continent (101 “The Rising”)

Has flown Apache, Black Hawk, Cobra, and Osprey helicopters (101 “The Rising”).
Can fly an F-302 in combat (202 “The Intruder”)
