RE: what TPTB *could* have done: (S8 Threads)
Or when Jack said "Always..." They could have added "Because I love you Sam." Not leave it up to us to interpret the level of what 'always' means. Because until those words really come out of their mouths or a ring ends up on someone's hands or S or J mention to others they're dating/engaged/married.... it *is* open to interpretation once again.
I know how I'll interpret it, but *shakes head* TPTB have done it again. :-(

Yes, that's their way to please the 2 sides : shippers and anti-shippers, although these ones must be really angry right now ;-)
They've done the same thing in XFiles. Until the last episode, I knew noromos who were convinced that Mulder and Scully were not together, even if there was a baby on the way.
I know how I'll interpret Threads too and I know (or I think I know) how anti-shippers'll interpret it. But let's face it : even if there is a ring or dates or wedding, there will still be people who won't see it the same way than us.
So, right now, I'm very happy how TPTB have done it. It's subtle yes but hey, there's no Pete and no Kerry anymore, and Sam and Jack seem closer they have ever been. :-)
