Also, the part that was cut out of the Sam/Martouf scene in the cafeteria dealt with how she felt about having killed him in her reality. IMHO that was more important to deal with than hinting that Sam was with "someone else" in his reality.
FF, I never added up how they cut off all those Sam relationships before. They really did eliminate a lot of her story lines, didn't they?
I've been pondering my own question and everyone's thoughtful answers and I think I'd have to say my favourite relationship is between Sam and Teal'c.
I'm a wee penguin so I do like Sam/Jack (largely influenced by my own admiration of RDA ). I was a regular poster on the Sam/Daniel friendship thread and have always loved their initial friendship. However, that went out the window starting with season 9 (sadly). I also like the Sam/Jonas sibling vibe. I think Sam loosened up a lot kidding around with Jonas. I also like the easy going friendship with Cam. I also have a soft spot for the father/daughter relationship with Jacob. Amanda said that introducing Jacob was the best thing TPTB did for the character.
Having said all of the above, however, I think that, in the end I have come to like the Sam/Teal'c dynamic best. Maybe because it took the longest to develop. Maybe because (IMO) they are so different. All I know is that some of my favourite Stargate scenes involve these two characters. The locker room scene in PL, Teal'c offering Sam his words for Janet's memorial, the reunion in Ethon (Do I have the name right? The episode where they blew up the Prometheus), the scene after Landry died in Unending, the goodbye scene in SGA's Reunion and their last scene together in Midway.
