I don't see anything approaching that level of profoundity with Jack and Daniel, so I don't see that kind of slash. Sometimes I see, again with appropriate squinting, some "queeny" like behaviour from Jack and Daniel, ie Jack not letting Daniel go to Atlantis, but it's nothing that invades my sleep. Between Jack and Teal'c, however, I think there was a potential to explore profound feelings between them, but it's always concentrated on the comedic, which is still good, but it might have been interesting to develop that further.
Sam and Jack chemistry? I think, like slash, it's all in what you like to see. If you think chemistry is Sam-and-Jack like, then you'll see it. You can see Sam and Jack being awkward and ansgt ridden, or you can see Jack looking discomforted at Sam's crush. You can see Jack pining for Sam or vica versa. You can see Jack looking constipated if you want. Trouble is for me, I've seen all these things with Sam and Jack, even in the middle of my passionate shipping. It's very ambigious.
The trouble is, for me, the early seasons were great in terms of team chemistry, but there was this undercurrent of S&J shippyness (and J&D slash) if you wanted to see. Trouble is, PTB started to play with it in season 4 , which started to disrupt the team chemistry, they then let it lie again and then had a complete brainstorm with it in season 7 on the pretext of Sam's personal development, in which I have to say she's no further forward now, than she was at the beginning of season 7. So what was the point?
