More like, only the true master could make me read a fic about Pete. I'd *pay* to see him likable. Such a waste of screen time, that character. Too bad they killed off Joe. I liked Joe. He was nifty.

Uh, how is he the bad one? He's single, Pete is the one engaged to Sam. Sure, it's not really the nicest thing to sleep with the partner of a friend/love interest out of revenge, but it doesn't sound like he was forcing himself on Pete who is in fact engaged to said friend/love interest.Originally posted by Falcon Horus View PostUnmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):

I think Jack would not sleep with anyone out of revenge - he's not that immature.Originally posted by AmberLM View Post
But if the writer enjoyed writing that fic, and the fic found its readers, I guess it was worth it? I doubt I'll be reading it an time soon, though.

Personally, I think it's impossible for anyone to write Pete that way considering how TPTB portrayed the character in the show. Background checks, stalking, interfering with a military operation and nearly getting yourself and everyone else killed - and all that while being a (presumably) accomplished detective of the Denver police department...Originally posted by slurredspeech View Post

It boggles the mind, doesn't it. How the writers thought they were introducing an interesting character, but more to the point, how they thought the viewers would believe and get into their romance, for lack of a better term. It's shocking.Originally posted by fems View PostPersonally, I think it's impossible for anyone to write Pete that way considering how TPTB portrayed the character in the show.

There are characters I love and those I hate on SG-1, but none were as pointless and flaky and tool-y as Pete was.you're so cute when you're slurring your speech but they're closing the bar and they want us to leave

Well, that has never occurred to me but maybe that's because I really dislike OOC-ness and my interpretation from what we've seen of Pete on the show in this case really tells me it would be impossible to keep him in character and a likable/respectable person, especially when in a relationship with Sam.Originally posted by Raelis View PostI will not say anything about Pete because I barely remember him.

Of all the love interests on the show I think Ishta and Kerry were probably the only normal ones.

I found Ishta a bit heavy-handed a lot of the time. And pouty. She was very pouty.
I didn't mind Kerry, but then there wasn't much to mind as she was there for all of five minutes to enlighten Jack about the last eight years of his life.

Uh, I disagree. Narim of the Tollan used an alien device that had recorded his emotions whenever he was around her and handed it to her to experience it herself and then, while she was basically under the influence of alien technology, he kissed her. Not to mention that he programmed his house to use her voice! That's creepy.Originally posted by Sparky She-Demon View Post
Martouf kept pushing for her to remember all the wonderful times he'd had with Jolinar and nearly kissed her (once in The Tok'ra before they were interrupted and again in Ripple Effect) while Jolinar's memories were overwhelming Sam's mind.
Pete ran a background check on her after they'd slept together for the first time because she couldn't tell him the details about her job and he - a detective who should know the meaning of classified - ran off in a hissy fit. Then he stalked her to a stakeout and interfered with SG-1's operation and nearly got himself and all of SG-1 killed, not mention let Osiris get away (and loose on Earth).
Joe had no problems making a deal with the Aschen to limit the population's fertility without telling anyone and snuck it in their vaccines against disease and to prolong health. The only reason he was upset about when Sam told him was that the Aschen had lied (who'd a thunk from a race that sterilizes people without their knowledge?!) and the actual number of infertile people was higher and he and Sam were affected too. Really, I think his outrage was mostly about him not being able to have kids and perhaps getting caught by Sam more so than the numbers/Aschen lie.
Orlin descended for her and claimed he loved her, all from observing (aka stalking) her from his higher plane of existence. He also used his powers, twice (once involuntarily and only asked for her consent the second time) to have mind sex with her. Not to mention he still wanted a relationship with her when he came back in season 9 even though he was a child and Sam a fully grown woman; he didn't understand why that would be problem.
Let's see... did I forget anyone other than the occasional alien who made eyes at her? I don't think Barrett really counts as she shot him down both times he asked her out, but I guess he was one of the normal ones too if he does count.
Yes, Ishta came on a bit strong and sometimes entitled but I figured that was a Jaffa thing. It's not the character's fault that the actress has pouty lips!Originally posted by slurredspeech View Post Besides, her character was only created because CJ wanted to make out with the actress and then wrote a script about Teal'c's new love interest... 
For Joe, see above I did like him in 2001 but all his potential was ruined by 2010.

I agree, Fems. There aren't many of Sam's suitors I actually like all that much. They are all infatuated with her beauty/what they *think* she is rather than having genuine love for her - that's why I like Jack so much. In the words of Mark Darcy, he likes her "Just as she is", all gun-toting, ass-kicking, sun-blowing-up, crap-at-emotions imperfect Samantha Carter.
And, best of all, he's just as screwed up emotionally as she is! Pete couldn't handle a woman like Sam in a month of Sundays
