I don't mean to tell you you are wrong and I apologise if it came out this way, I know that sometimes we just can't help what we feel, but the above can be seen as implying that the actors aren't good enough to differentiate their roles... Ok, I can't seem to be able to properly articulate what I mean, so I'll shut up now. I meant no offence.
I fear it's going to be the same with Joe Flanigan. I will forever be looking for bits of John Sheppard no matter who he plays.

So far I've seen the first 4 seasons and I must say I don't understand what the fuss was all about. I just don't care that much about M/S...personally I don't see their relationship - bar an odd scene here and there - as something more than beautiful friendship but ultimately knowing they'll end up together doesn't bother me in the slightest. So far I like how they are written, but from what I've heard it won't continue for much longer, will it?
about the discussion about Bones/DS9/White Collar/Castle/whatever...I haven't seen any of these shows and have no idea what you guys are talking about...
Psst, I'll let in on a secret...Sam and Jack have been together since Threads. Neither of them has retired - thankfully, b/c I enjoy them too much on SGU - but they haven't been in the direct chain of command since Jack's move to Washington and therefore were free to pursue a romantic relationship...which they did

Now I'm not making a whole heck of sense

They sort of wrote themselves into a corner with Sam/Jack with the USAF regs, but there was no reason they couldn't have gotten them together when he retired.Originally posted by Linda06 View PostThey did have opportunities to finally get Sam/Jack together but they liked yanking our chains too much so they kept it going indefinitely
Originally posted by Killdeer View PostFor Sam, Cam is my favorite pairing.
Sorry for the rant.
Teal'c - I like Teal'c with pretty much everyone. Except Vala. And I could probably be talked into that, but I don't quite see it at this point. Shau'nac was probably my favorite for him though, because I always got the feeling she was like his first love, and she's the one he dreamed in The Changeling.
Originally posted by Southern Red View PostBut I agree with you totally on Cam/Vala for the same reason. They had too much of John/Aeryn in them to be together with new identities.

Originally posted by Petra View PostI have a soft spot for Daniel/Sha're
I always thought, no matter how much Daniel loved Sha're, he never would have been completely happy on Abydos, and I definitely couldn't imagine him willingly giving up the universe now that he knows what's out there. I would have liked to see it play out on screen though, Sha're choosing Abydos and Daniel choosing the Stargate and the heartbreak of knowing that no matter how you may have wanted things to work out they just couldn't anymore. Mostly, I just wanted a (moderately) happy ending for Sha're. Alas...
I must admit that I never saw Daniel/Janet ship on the show. Never, not even a hint.
I could also see Daniel with Osiris-free Sarah.
Weirdly enough, Daniel is also the only SG-1 character I could see as being happy without any romantic relationship, just with his friends, books, and ever-lasting quest for knowledge.
*runs away to hide before other Daniel fans take out their pitchforks*
I could easily see Jack/Janet in the first 2 seasons (before I became S/J shipper ) and I believe that at the time Jack/Janet 'ship was seriously considered by TPTB. I recall some interview by RDA and/or the writers which basically said "watch out for it, it can happen". But eventually (and to my delight) TPTB decided to pair Jack with Sam. I still have a soft spot for J/J though (even if I would have prefered Jack/Kerry more)
I wasn't really feeling Kerry. Mostly because I was completely over the romance plotlines by that point and she was just another part of the drama. She was very pretty though. And she got to roll around in bed with RDA. Lucky girl.
Vala/Tomin is another of my favourite 'ships on SG-1 ... They are equals, they've both been hurt and did some pretty awful things but at the end of the day they can forgive and are able to accept each other. I don't think that over the course of the series Vala was in love with Tomin, but I think she did love him and given time - post series - she could fall for him romantically as well. At least I like to think so.
I definitely think Vala is out making the universe a better place with Tomin. And it made me smile to see so many people like them together.

I too could see Vala/John and I was hoping with The Pegasus Project that we would get a few good moments with them. I was just thinking she would take one look at him, lick her lips and hilarity would ensue. I would love to have seen him dealing with her advances. But alas we were doomed to be disappointed.

I saw many people commenting how great the season finale was, so much depth and all that, but to me it felt like a big, cheap reset button. The spoilers for the new season
Spoiler:new love interests for both of them
is making me worried. IMO that's the scenario that can turn into the worst kind of cliche if not handled well.
On a similar note I hear "Castle" is about to pull off something similar, but they're new and fresh and seem to have more guts than Bones PTB. Let's hope that ship won't be ruined.
As for Stargate I have always had the feeling that PTB had this "ugh, kissing, gross!!" kind of attitude when it came to major ships. No wonder a ton of fans, myself included, feel cheated out. A romantic or loving relationship can work in sci fi show - Odo and Kira, as someone mentioned, is one of best TV show ships out there. I wish both SG - 1 and SGA had the guts to give us that kind of relationships.
I think because Castle is still in the early stages they can pull that kinda thing off for the time being, I just hope they don't overdo it though and end up ruining the whole thing
Originally posted by Killdeer View PostOn the rest of the discussion - SG-1 couples.
I would have liked Jack/Janet. Janet is one of the very few people I can see with Jack, the other being his ex-wife Sara.
But (being a multishipper) I like Daniel/Janet too. I liked Daniel/Sha're. I like Daniel/Vala. I like Daniel/Sam, though I admit that one took me a while to come around to. I've thought about the possibilities of Daniel/Teyla, but I really see her more with pre-ascension Daniel than post-ascension.
For Sam, Cam is my favorite pairing. But I liked her with Martouf, and I could also see her with Daniel or Barrett, and I went through a Sam/Teal'c phase for a while after Unending aired - not sure I'm quite over it yet.
Cam and Vala - ok, you guys are going to think I'm weird. But I just can't ship Cam and Vala. It's like...there's this mental block there somehow. I think it's because I shipped John and Aeryn so much that shipping the same actors playing different characters just feels weird to me somehow. Yeah, I know I'm strange. Sorry!
I love John/Vala! It's my favorite fantasy ship (since they barely ever met). I just like the personality combination possibilities. (and I think JF and CB would have amazing chemistry ) Vala/Tomin doesn't really work for me though - not really sure why (although I wasn't thrilled about him hitting her that time).
Teal'c - I like Teal'c with pretty much everyone. Except Vala. And I could probably be talked into that, but I don't quite see it at this point. Shau'nac was probably my favorite for him though, because I always got the feeling she was like his first love, and she's the one he dreamed in The Changeling.
No, I think that was the time.
See, Cam/Vala would just be weird to me too because of the Aeryn/Crichton thing *shrugs* It just doesn't feel right So I'm weird too
The only people I shipped on SG-1 were Jack/Sam but none of the others bothered me, except Sam/Pete but that's a whole other matter
