Sam Carter/Jack O'Neill Ship Discussion Thread

[XFchemist]

On my DVD, Jack clearly says "Sara". .

Yes--he's saying "Sara". .

I'm not remembering specific episodes, but there are others where the subtitles conflict with what was actually said on the original English versions.

Yes, he says Sara, but in the Italian version he says Sam (...ehm we clearly have shipper dubbers )

[hlndncr]

Love those Italians!

[Akamaimom]

Yes, he says Sara, but in the Italian version he says Sam (...ehm we clearly have shipper dubbers )

Well, Italian IS a Romance Language. . .

[Lucycat]

Which is one of the reasons I watch them without subtitles. I'd rather rewind to hear what they were saying/mumbling than check the subtitles which sometimes don't correspond with what's being said, be that in English or a different language.

Well, the box sets I have for S2 and S3 do not have any subtitles. I guess because they are older releases. I don't usually put them on, except when I want to watch while I'm on the treadmill. It's very loud, so if there are no subtitles I have to put the volume up very high.

But only because it's from Rome

In the Hungarian version Jack says Sam too. We Hungarian are romantic.

so due to me house sitting for the past week, i wasn't able to watch any SG-1, so i'm catching up and i'm up to shades of grey and watching Jack/Daniel Scene at Jack's house, made wonder how the scene would've gone if Sam was the one who drew the short straw and came to visit jack.

LCJS -I'm behind as well...crazy week at work!

I am afraid if Sam had drawn the short straw, he would have had to be as brutal on her as he was on Daniel to maintain the cover he was building. As it was, what he said to her in the corridor (about "NOW I'm acting like myself") left her with a confused, wounded look.

Although that line always seemed shippy to me. Who knows? We may have had a "Lost City" conversation on our hands.

There a few fics where it was Sam who confronted Jack at his house.

Here are a couple, oddly enough they have the same title.

I can totally see that line as shippy, too!

Thanks for rec'ing iiradned. I enjoyed the Annerb the best of the two -it read so well that I forgot I was reading (it felt more like watching an ep).

A few shippy observations of the rewatch eps. Please forgive if I'm a little incoherant or choppy -very tired tonight:

100 Days

I have made it no secret that this is one of my least favorite eps. It's pretty painful for me to watch. But...some of the shippy moments:
* Him bantering with Carter about "sucking the fun out of it" during the fire rain.
* Her obvious concern when Jack leaves with Laira to go to the caves to find her son ("Sir?")
* She tries to raise him on the radio at the gate and waits until the last possible moment to go through without him.
* Him looking back toward the impact site from the cave entrance (I can't help but think he's wondering if the team...and Sam...made it through the gate in time).
* Her "Thank God" when the connection is re-established.
* The look on her face when Hammond says he's going to declare Jack MIA.
* Her using Sokar's work to rewrite the laws of wormhole physics (a field she pioneered) to figure a way to get him home.
* Janet & Sam's conversation: "You miss him." "Yeah." "Is this a problem?" "No...of course not."
* He let's Laira know that there is a part of him that will never let go of what he left behind (my shippy glasses are in place on this as well).
* That last scene when he brushes past her to talk to Laira, and she hears the conversation (with Daniel's "I don't think he was expecting to go home again" ringing in her head) -the pained expression on her face tears at my heart every time.

This ep has so much more than this -the friendship and dedication of the team, the poor Edorans stuck on Earth during this time...so much more. But there you have it. I'm going to bed...
