Did anyone else feel a little robbed as a watcher(and I know that actors have lives and the writers and what not cannot controll these things) that Jack and Sam didn't get to be together on that ship and be together in the end, like Vala and Daniel...? I mean, i'm not much of a "shipper", but still.... it seems like it should have been them that spent their eternity together...

Well I'm not sure about a semi-real relationship between them, but I really thought Jack should have been in Unending. Even if for a few seconds.Folding@Home|Babylon 5 Canon Guide
Delenn: This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw,...or be destroyed.
Earth Captain: Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship.
Delenn: Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.

Shipping aside--I feel the whole episode was lacking. Killing off the asgard to gain their technology was a lame plot device.
Sam spent 50 years on a ship with no one helping her...there was no real team interactions either.
Landry grew plants, Cam threw fits, Teal'c was a statue and while Sam gave up hope Daniel and Vala had their little fling.
Not even a mention of Jack, Hammond, or any of the past characters that made the series last more than 8 years.
IMO, Unending fell short on addressing any real issues, concerns and had absolutely no real direction. The ONLY time we saw the GATE was at the very end with Cam's lame speech on how gate travel was better than ship travel. Talk about not following their own advice.
Unending was such a memorable episode that I had decided it never happened and season 9 should have been the first season of Stargate Command...a tried but failed spin off of SG-1.Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric.

Personally, "Unending", overall, left me very fulfilled. I thought that episode was a great way to end the show. That and, things aren't really over. We still have more SG-1 to look forward to. Just not on TV.sigpic

I actually really liked Unending. I don't have the history with the show like many people on this board do, but I felt like it was a nice way to end the series. There were no major plot developments, but it was nice to see the focus be on the team. It's interesting because I know that people often complain about how character moments are sacrificed in order to move the story along, so it was nice to see a change in that practice.
Thank you to Stef for the banner
