She's going to face the same situations as Jack before. Jack's main weakness was Charlie and his guilt after his son's death. That's why First tried to gain all knowledge from him by using memories of Charlie for example. Does this mean that Jack screwed up ? No. He made the right choice (in my opinion). He remained strong. How is it that Sam isn't allowed to show weakness and to overcome it like Jack ? She's strong enough to do it.
I want Sam to show her humanity, to show she has weaknesses to accept them and to overcome them. I don't want tension within the team. I want friendship. That's why I'd really like to see Sam making a hard choice against the wills of one of the guys (I'm thinking of Daniel here, he's the most stubborn of all of them
) because she knows it's the best for them even if she's going to jeopardize their friendship.
I for sure don't want Sam to show weakness for the sake of been weak because she's the woman. If that's how TPTB think of character development for Sam, I'd rather have SuperSam. We have SuperDaniel who speaks 23 or more languages, understands every alien writing without any book or reference to translate them, SuperTeal'c who knows everything about Goa'uld technology and culture, SuperJack who never misses a target and is a formidable team leader, why not SuperSam ?
