But really - by the time they get around to addressing that particular ship in a direct, non-ambiguous manner, how many fans who were interested in the question will be watching the show? Season 50 when Jack and Sam are admitted to a nursing home?
And as far as different fans asking the quesion... IMOHO it seems no different than various individual members asking the *same* tech, alien, villan, story arc, etc. questions over and over trying to get a direct answer... Just seems that relationship posts of any type (Sam/Jack, Dan/Vala, and any other permutation that floats one's boat... er ship ) gets more member's attention.
Ahhhhhh.... but it seems to be about the challenging quest to play the semantics game with Joe to get the elusive direct answer.
As far as my thoughts... *sighs* IMO they are keeping their options open. Ambiguous storylines allow writers to be able to go back and rewrite history to allow them to play with their new characters and their story arcs... Doesn't mean I like it. I'm with Shipperahoy about wanting a clear answer (in the show, not in one writer's blog or Q&A thread). Tell me *clearly* that the two characters tried the ship and they decided it wasn't for them - end of arc. Tell me that it *is* working, which doesn't even require Jack's character be present - hey good for S/J - after saving the world so many times let them have a bit of fun - Lord knows before Jack's brain goes on the fritz from so many Ancient downloads let them savor some sweetness.... (And no... Sam's S9 comment to Barrett was not clear.... for all we know she could have hooked up with another "normal" non-military man or who knows.... maybe she's dating Thor....)
But after an 8-year tease and one-half of the couple not likely to ever come back as a regular and TPTB moving quickly on to other ships and stories.... it wouldn't have hurt to give a nod to it...
Oh well!
