Sam, on the other hand, has been the 2IC of SG-1 for seven years during which she was groomed for command by Jack and has about a year of experience actually commanding SG-1. Plus her stint at Area 51, where she was commander of Stargate R&D, although that is a different kind of command than leading a team through a wormhole to alien planets...<snip>

    Not to mention that I don't really recall Mitchell actually making a lot of tactical decisions... he mostly deferred to the team and their off-world experience, which really doesn't give him any bonus points on his commanding skills in my opinion.
    Yeah, maybe tactical wasn't the right word to use - my point was that IMHO the only way I can make it right in my head was that Sam didn't want to deal with being shot at and having to think about everyone else while having to fix things. That's all. In general, the situation doesn't make sense.

    That's why I tend to view seasons 9/10 as almost a new show that just happens to be set in the same universe....

Yup fems that punch must have been satisfying. We really do need a gif. It's one of my favourite S10 moments.
    Mine too. Here's a link to my favorite version of this scene - the in-video comments are awesome. Ownage!

I thought it was played up because the show needed a lead character who was just as heroic as Jack and at least needed that form of recognition from the rest of the personnel so that he was 'worthy' to be in SG-1 and to lead it. Sure, Mitchell's brave deeds deserved to be recognised but not over-lauded. After all, didn't SG-1, or Jack here, at least (since we're doing this comparison) achieve that and more?

      Or maybe I'm just getting protective of Jack now...
      Well, considering Mitchell's only "heroic" accomplishment seems to be the fact he flew an F302 during the dogfight above Antarctica and thereby giving SG-1 enough time to get Jack into the chair and save the world, I'm pretty much inclined to say even Walter and/or Siler have done more heroic stuff with all the alien viruses, foothold situations and attacks on the gate/iris on base...

      Sam: (reluctantly) I need your help. Look I still think I'm right about the obelisk but I can't make head nor tails of its porgramming.

      Ba'al - That's hardly surprising. I know where you're from you are considered relatively intelligent, but by galactic standards that's not really saying much. Wouldn't you agree?

      Sam: You know if you're not gonna help, then you're really not much use to us. If you're not much use to us there's not really any point in keeping you alive much longer, wouldn't you agree?
      Awesome! SJ_green.gif I always chuckle (half in anticipation and half in amusement) when I'm watching that scene.

      Yes, I think I know what you mean. Leaving the paperwork, team leader meetings and all that other stuff that comes with command to Mitchell gives Sam time to spend time (at home or on the phone) with Jack!

      Also love that YT vid.
      Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
      Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.

        Walter and Siler should have been part of SG-1 too! Give them a few years in the field and they'll be SG-1 commanders. Heh.

            Perhaps it's an idea to strike out the eps that have already been reviewed to make it easier to keep track of which eps still have to be done, considering some were late/early.

                              Summary: A young boy arrives through the Stargate, and warns of plot by invisible aliens (the Retou) to kill all of the human race in order to rob the Goa'uld of potential hosts.

                              Favorite Scene: My main favorite scene was where Jack tells Retou Charlie its okay to cry, even if you are a boy.

                              Favorite Lines:

                              Dad, we have a little bit of a situation, and we may need Selmak's help.
                              Jacob: Selmak, Selmak, Selmak. I thought you just wanted to see your old man.
                              I do, dad.

                              General: This is another episode that I think is pretty significant, especially from Jack's point of view. He gets really close to the kid, especially after he asks to be called Charlie. This is hard for Jack, but he says that it is okay. We also see this attachment come to a head when Retou Charlie's health deteriorates to a point where all Janet can do is keep him alive. Despite his suspicion of the Tok'ra, he knows that they are the only people that can help Retou Charlie. Jack says that he will visit him.

                              Sam/Jack shippyness: To me this wasn't the shippiest of episodes. They were pretty busy throughout the episode. I still liked it though.

                                I agree, not the shippiest of episodes but is a good one for character development for Jack
