I'm always irked when fanfic writers place Jack's cabin an afternoon's drive away. Use Google maps, for cryin' out loud! You'll see the middle of Minnesotta is a 17 hour drive from Colorado Springs. Yes, flying is faster, with the flight from Colorado Springs to Minneapolis at just over three hours, but then you have to drive a couple of hours to the lake county. Add on the pre-flight waiting time, and you can see it's still not a quick trip. Even taking Air Force planes and landing closer dosn't improve it by much, Seems the writers on the show forgot it for this ep, also.
As for Jack not using the cabin as often - I'm guessing that the two of them rarely got enough time off at the same time to meet up at the cabin. The weekends he used to use spending time alone at the cabin he was now spending wherever Sam was. (But I imagine he'd still go to the cabin alone if Sam was off-world when he needed a break from DC)
Oh, I dipped my toe into the first few pages of the "not a ship" thread, to see what exactly it was about. No comment on how I percieved the relative likes and dislikes of different characters seemed to effect their opinions, but otherwise they seemed to fall into four camps.
1) - do see some attraction between Jack and Sam, but think any attempt at shippyness is totally inapropriate.
2) - can't see any attraction between Jack and Sam and don't see any evidence of the ship in any way shape or form.
3) - can't see any attraction between Jack and Sam, but see the ship being forced on the viewers.
4) - can't see any attraction between Jack and Sam, but see the ship being forced on the viewers with every look between them, every instance of Jack worrying about Sam while ignoring other characters, and vice-versa - basically just about every time they are in a scene together. I swear, this group has stronger ship goggles than the shippers! Researching their posts may turn up new moments of shippyness here-to-fore undiscovered!
But I'm not volunteering to do it.
