Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0

[sasha713]

I've never set foot in the US but I do need information like that for my fics so I use Google Maps and create my own with important places. It comes in very handy for canonical places but also specific fic-related locations and you can easily distinguish between them all because you can give each location their own icon. And of course you can see how much distance there is between them.



That's what research is for.

Research is the fun part of writing IMHO Google maps and wikipedia are very helpful if you need information that is reliable for the most part.

I can't get past the look on Sam's face when they take Jack away!

[picardythirds]

i see pete as just a speed bump in the road of the sam and jack highway.

Nice. That's how I see it. The guy never had a chance. I fall somewhere between the "poor pete" and the "he's so stupid" category. the whole background check thing and interrupting an op thing was so NOT COOL but on the other hand, he did love her, in his own strange way - I did feel for him a little when she broke up with him. He's just plain not jack

My favorite scene is the corridor scene where he looks back at her and Daniel and Janet are holding her back. 2nd favorite would be the intenseness with which Jack yells NO! after she tells him to leave. *sigh*

I also like the following:

Jack: she made a pass at me.
Daniel: Sam?
Jack: no, Freya/Anise...

Interesting how Danny boy assumed it was Sam who made a pass at Jack!

I love the confession in D&C, but the episode is so riddled with Martouf fawning over Sam and Tok'ra Barbie kissing Jack that on the whole, it's not a very enjoyable episode to watch straight though.

Makes you wonder if those two Tok'ra were in on it together; one going after Sam and the other making a pass at Jack...

Good point. Darn sneaky Tok'ra. lol

Yes. After season 10 of SG-1, Sam goes to Atlantis. After that year, she returns to witness the death of the last Ba'al clone in the movie Continuum. Then she gets command of the Hammond as seen in Universe.

So practically she is stuck in space while Jack is in Washington?

Their webchats got.... interesting.

I'd buy that lol

[For_All_Eternity]

hahah, yeah, I would buy that, too! :d

I just watched "Ripple Effects" and I am really stunned.... Sam was never so much into Martouf back when he was alive in her own timeline and now, after she is supposedly with Jack and all, she all of a sudden decided she wants to kiss AU Martouf??? Wtf? And I know people argue that they did not kiss, but it was because of the Asgard that interrupted them, not because Sam decided not to.

It just seems out of character for Sam... especially after telling Barrett she is not single...

[selene0789]

She was unprepared by the resurgence of Jolinar's feelings. I got the feeling they were strongest for Martouf than anything else, and so after he died she got used to not having to guard against them, so when he showed up she was taken over for a perilous, appropriately-ended moment.

Well I doubt The Hammond is equiped for really long-term space exploration. So IMO she probably is back in earth orbit every few months at least and she would be based in DC with Jack when she's earthside. That means they probably spend more time together now than when she was at the SGC and he was in DC. In any case, it's no different than any other service member doing a tour abroad away from their family. I doubt Sam would do it for more than a couple of years.

Don't get me started about Sam being out of character in S9 & S10!

But if I recall (and I refuse to rewatch these eps so my memory is spotty), Sam looked pretty disgusted by the whole thing when it came down to it. Sam did tell Martouf earlier that she sympathized with how hard a long distance relationship could be. So I'm chalking it up to loneliness and chemical fumes that were clearly present in that lab.

My memory of those episodes isn't the best either, but isn't there a scene at the end of that episode where AU Janet is telling Sam that she's on maternity leave in their universe but they won't say who's the dad. Except everyone KNOWS it's Jack. But Sam, for some reason, is acting really dumb and asking Janet to tell her because she doesn't know. That got me mad. Because we all know she really isn't thick.
