Okay, I was going to post a nice long review of why I think shippers got more than they think they got from THREADS... But for now I'll just say that THREADS is in my top 5 SG episodes. In no particular order:
Window of Opportunity
In the Line of Duty
Chain Reaction
Threads
Urgo
Smoke and Mirrors
Foothold
Wait, that's more than five. Hmm...
Let me also just add that I have finished the follow-up to "Resolutions" that some of you asked me about ... but I feel I must give significant warning here:
Whereas "Resolutions" was primarily a nice long scene between Sam and Jack - more like a rant put to script of what I'd like to see happen between them (and it was written prior to my seeing THREADS), "The Darker Side of Night" is more of an episode, switching back and forth amongst the team members (and was written after I saw THREADS). Both contain spoilers for late season eight and season nine. It would be best to read them in order, or some of the punchlines at the beginning of "The Darker Side of Night" won't make any sense...
Here's a quick teaser: It's got major shippy moments (including a honkin' kiss) - although the story itself is not necessarily primarily shippy - There's some funny scenes (including one with Daniel and his lousy timing) - although it is not a comedy - It has an obscure McGyver reference - It's got angst - Sam faces an angry Goa'uld with a hara'kash and a pain stick - It's a cliffhanger - Jack dies (Whoops, did I say too much?)
So for whoever suggested that Daniel should have interrupted them in "Resolutions," I'd kinda like to either thank you or punch you in the jaw because "The Darker Side of Night" began with that simple premise, and I haven't been able to shut off the creative writing spasm yet (much to my chagrin)...
Okay now for the links:

For "The Darker Side of Night": http://www.powerpromoz.com/stargate/darkerside.pdf
I would TRULY APPRECIATE any and all feedback. Knowing that people respond when you design something or write something is the only thing that warms a creative nut's heart.
So, I implore you all, if you hold any regard for my standing as a "well-known threat to the System Lords" on this board - FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY (of which I still retain a small portion) - please read them and let me know what you think, okay?

I just wish that for ONCE we can get one DECENT ship in at least ONE episode. Is that too much to ask?
