Well, of course! It's one of the most creative things I've seen since coming to GW!

I can't believe it!!! Younger hotter version of him????
Are they kidding me?

This really makes me mad too! BB is cute, and a good actor, but he's no RDA, and he's certainly not hotter!

First: NO MAN in the whole wide universe is hotter than RDA.
I'm sorry, but that's how it is and it's not debatable!

It doesn't matter that he is over 35 years older than me.

Amen!

Well....I have to disagree slightly. Not ALL men get better with age, but RDA certainly has!

Is RDA still Executive Producer or does he lost that privilege because he is leaving? Doesn't he still have a say in SG-1 or does SCIFI over rule him and kicks him out of the loop?

I think he gave up any Exec. Producer duties, but I thought he and Greenburg owned the rights to the franchise. He and Greenburg are Gekko Film Corp. I've asked a question about who actually controls the show a couple of times, but haven't gotten a real good answer.

Round 29 of the Fave Episodes Tournament has begun. Prodigy was eliminated in Round 28. Keep Divide & Conquer (the holy grail of J/S shippiness) from getting the axe! Vote now, at: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthrea...&page=64&pp=20

Be careful! If you accidentally vote for an ep that has already been eliminated, none of your votes will count in that round.

Sam and Jack thank you. I thank you!

I don't want a Season 10, but then again, I don't want 9 either.

For those of you who are watching S9, do you realize that you're doing *exactly* what they're manipulating you into doing? And if you watch S9 and maybe S10 with no visible ship, they'll *never* give us a resolution because they have no *reason* to give it to us. They get the same viewers whether they do it or not, don't get grief from the anti's, and since most of them don't want to deal with it, they won't. Ever.

If they do something significant with the ship, I figure I can always catch it on line or when the individual episode repeats. First time through, though, I think we need to send a message to TPTB that we won't wait anymore. Ratings is the only thing they respect when it comes to fan opinion - not letters or emails or faxes, which they've proven mean nothing. (If it did, we'd have gotten the resolution we wrote begging for in S8.) If they get the ratings they want doing as they please, it won't change.

Sorry, Ses, this isn't aimed at you, but at anybody who thinks that watching S9 is going to (or even might) get them a ship resolution in S10. (They're not about to "reward" us for watching by giving it to us. TV just doesn't work that way.)

If you want to watch because you enjoy the science fiction, more power to you, but if you want to watch because it'll eventually get you the ship resolution, it's not gonna happen. And yes, I'm as sorry about that as you are.

Call me crazy but I never say never. The pulling power of a character like Jack O'Neill may have some unexpected results. As too may the workaholic nature of Richard Dean Anderson... but then I'm an eternal optimist.

To all the French Sam & Jack Shippers:

Happy Bastille Day!

**ses110** · 13 July 2005, 06:54 PM

No problem Mary.Your post is right on target as always.I could be going through temporary insanity.It's hard for even me to understand why I changed my mind and decided to give Season 9 a try.I have no doubt it will not mean anything for the Sam and Jack Ship.I still reserve the right to stop watching Season 9 if I find it's bad.I guess I'll take things week by week and see what happens.I think part of the reason for me to watch is to see what is done with the Sam character.Sam is my 2nd favorite after Jack.I also think RC comments about RDA returning for Season 10 has gotten my hopes up.It's probably a dumb idea to get my hopes up on those comments.Looking back there was alot of episodes I should have skipped in Season 7 and 8 while RDA was still on the Show.It may or may not have made an impact on the Ship.I think at this point with RDA pretty much out of the picture skipping episodes would not do much for the Sam and Jack Ship.

I'm with you Myrth. I'm not giving up. But I understand how Buc252 is feeling. I remember that this time last year I was really, really worried that we would not get much ship because Season 7 was such a let down when

showed up! **yuck**phewy**barf!!! But, I was Season 8

Spoiler:

. So, call me optimistic or call me crazy but I"m going to hold on a little longer. BTW I think Ben is hot but RDA is still My Man!!!

'Hail RDA - he's the man!'

Spoiler:

Going by the commentaries for "Lost City", I think we would have gotten what we wanted if it had been the end of the series. I think again, if "Moebius" had been the end or RDA didn't want to "keep the door open", we would have gotten what we wanted. However, with the continuation of the show; I think it is highly unlikely that we will get the kiss we shippers want. The possibility will get smaller with each passing season. Unless at some point in time, Amanda wants to leave the show then I can see RDA maybe coming back to complete the storyline. Until that happens, I will be content that Sam has NO OTHER man-friends and gets back to kicking butt and saving the world. After the

fiasco, I need a season to recover!

Absolutely no tomatoes coming your way!!!!!

You're entitled to do what you want and catch it in reruns if something good does happen. However, I might point out that unless there is a Nielsen diary or box in your house, they really don't know whether you're watching. And by watching, I can be vocal about anything I see that I don't like right here at GW.

If I don't buy in to what they're doing.....
If they don't acknowledge the ship in even the subtle ways we've discussed.....
If they don't treat Sam with dignity and respect......

then I'll stop watching. But I'm going to give it a try until after Sam's return, and probably through the cliffhanger of the first half of the U. S. season. By then, I should know if I can stomach it for the other 10 episodes or not.

Jack, Jack, don't leave us!
(*** sorry.....more RDA withdrawal.....got it under control again....for now.....hangs head in shame***)

My husband said the same thing as you. He was in the military and he said that Sam is no longer in the same location as Jack, plus she takes direct commands from Lawdry not Jack, they can date. THe higher ups might talk but no reg. would be broken. If Jack is retired, absolutely nothing can be said about them being together.

**gatebee** · 13 July 2005, 07:48 PM

I think as shippers , we will just have to content ourselves with what is right now. S9 will be all about the "new team". Carter might mention Jack but I don't think they will met anytime soon. It has nothing to do with TPTB but because RDA wants to be with his daughter. I totally respect his choice. If the series ends in S9, then we might have RDA on the final ep in the final couple of minutes to tie up the ship . But if the series goes on to S10 then we have to wait still longer. IMO.
