Wow, finally found this thread, and who do I find in here but Sparky. Hello.
I like Sam/McKay together because of the spark and the banter between them. I'm a Sam/Jack shipper at heart but if she had to be with anyone else its McKay. The actors had chemistry between them and McKay's episodes in SG1 worked because of that, that fiery dynamic between them.
McKay's attraction to Sam has turned into a long running joke and is great for comedy moments. Of all McKay's love interests this is the most plausible. The chemistry just wasn't there for Jennifer/McKay or the actors and it looked uncomfortable - I read (and I'm sure its been mentioned lots of times) that even Jewel and David said it was like kissing a sibling.
Even as base commander/head scientist they butted heads and sparks flew. For me just the friendship was entertaining, you were waiting for McKay to say something that would rub her up the wrong way.
I enjoyed 'Trio' even though the plot was lacking, it's hard to say what would have improved it or what exactly the problem was because the character exploration it allowed was priceless. Picking up again on the tenuous love/hate relationship between Sam and McKay and the dialogue between Sam and Jennifer, almost a hint of mentoring going on there.
As much as I love S/J I think the only other Sam ship I would write or read would be this one, again for me its the only other plausible one. McKay would keep her on her toes and I think their relationship would be very passionate, and she would wear the trousers. She's one of the few people he listens to and respects, and he is one of the few people that would match her on an intellectual level.
For me Sam's attraction to Jack is physical and to do with his personality and traits, her attraction to McKay is on an intellectual level, they would challenge each other mentally stimulate each other as well as the other aspects. Obviously McKay has his personality flaws but so does Jack.
Obviously in canon - post S8 SG1/S1 Atlantis Sam has deep feelings for Jack and Rodney has a series of girlfriends. Her reaction to his telling her about Katie shows she's not bothered but I can't help but wonder what could have happened.
I think I like this ship because it's fiery and antagonistic, none of the lusting looks and deep gazes and stolen moments. Actually it reminds me of Helen and Nikola in Sanctuary if anyone has watched it. The deep seated friendship and obvious attraction that simmers at the surface.
I'd be interested to see how the ship has been portrayed in fanfiction if anyone has any recommendations.
