Yeah, that line about his being "curious" really got to me. If he was just curious, then he would have watched Sam for an hour, saw that she was on a regular stakeout and left.
stayed there ALL NIGHT surveilling Sam-- as if SHE was the criminal! And I don't buy that he was there to safeguard the woman he loved. There was no expectation that there would be danger, not all stakeouts end in busts. In fact most are for evidence and intelligence gathering, so he wasn't there to protect her. He was there because (in his mind) Sam was his woman, and he wanted to know what his woman was doing-- nevermind that it totally goes against the rules of her job (which she cares about very much) that he know. Controlling, selfish SOB.

[snip] But the (all-male) PTB and apparently AT don't see it as a problem of character for to do it to Sam. I think it's a double standard that I hadn't expected on Stargate, especially since Sam has been written so self-assured.

I know people can act very differently when they're in relationships, but he encroached onto her workplace, which should have reactivated Super Sam. After she saw that was going to be okay, Sam should have given him three snaps up and a neck roll, before reminding him, 'look, I'm a military officer, Gulf War vet and I've been a defender of this country for a long time -- and I've been able to do it competently for years without your help. Back off! How dare you disregard my position, betray my trust, embarrass me in front of my teammates, jeopardize my operation-- putting us all in danger, and demand so much of me after knowing me for a few weeks-- as a cop I expected more from you. I thought you'd get it. Obviously, I was wrong. You're not that cute. It's over.'
never got how lucky he was. How do you walk out on gorgeous Sam-- in bed-- because she wouldn't give you a full enough job description!!! WTF! Who the @*#$ cares what she does for a living! I'm exaggerating, but really, how do you get so hung up on that so early in the relationship. He's truly half a man. So insecure. I mean could have found her secrets exciting. Especially after he did the background check, he would have known that she was into some top-secret military stuff. He could have said, 'whoa. she's into some deep $#*+. she could probably kill me 5 ways with her big toe, if she wanted. that's hot. I should give her her space, let her do her thing, so she can come home to me and show me some moves.'
no, instead he becomes master manipulator. I can't believe he was able to turn this around on Sam and make her feel guilty and like she was the one that was blowing this relationship. Nonsense! She's saved the planet how many times and yet, in the end, Sam feels like she's the one that owes something. WTF, did do to her?

I think someone needs to sit everyone in Vancouver down and point by point explain to them what they've done to Sam and fandom.
[snip] Just a ridiculous/contrived episode.
