If you haven't already read the Gateworld article on this one, go do that. I'm not going to cover anything in there again and I'll assume you know who Joe is (not Flaxon). The production number is 20, but they usually film clip shows last because they take the least post-production effort (minimal effects, reused material, etc). I'd be shocked if this one aired as the season finale. There's also a some very funny stuff with Jack and Joe that I won't spoil because it's got me in giggle fits just reading it. I don't want to ruin it for anybody. It's not shippy, it's just Jack at his comedic best. And, boy, have I ever missed the comedy! Too much angst this season.
As for ship in this one, it looks very good. There's nothing solid in it, but there's a relaxed and fun tone we haven't seen between Jack and Sam for a long time -- if ever at this level.
The teaser starts out with Jack bringing groceries in his house on a Saturday morning. He's chatting on his cell phone with Sam. They're trying to schedule a briefing. He winds up complaining about how swamped he is. They never actually schedule the briefing. She changes the subject and asks how he's spending the day. He replies that it's funny she brought it up because he just bought the ingredients for his "world famous Spanish Omelet." She thinks it sounds good. There's some cute banter as she attempts to find out what's in it. Then there's the inevitable interruption of the actual plot for the episode as Joe is hanging out in Jack's kitchen with a gun. Oops. He says he'll call her back later.
It sorta reads like she's looking for an invite. At the same time, also like he's trying to work around to giving one. Nothing solid, just the impression I got reading it. Very cute and comfortable conversation. No angst! Can't wait to see it.
There's another bantery bit in the infirmary that's short, but gives us a funny regs reference. There's no way to explain it without directly quoting it and I can't do that. Sorry. Perhaps somebody else with the info will be so kind.
Basically, this one looks very good. I've got a huge grin on my face. Can we skip all the angsty stuff and jump straight ahead to this one? I've missed the comedy and ship actually being fun.
I can't believe I'm looking forward to a freaking clip show this much!

. Like I said, I'm a lurker, so I've never posted on any forum ever before, but lately I've found myself checking the boards more and more often. The people that post around here are the only people I've found with the same passion for the Sam/Jack ship as I. So for that, I thank you.
