LEAST SHIPPY EPISODE

Lifeboat (1)

VS.

The Road Not Taken (7)

I can see glimpses of something in Lifeboat. The Road Not Taken just denies Jack even exists, and that's unacceptable to me.


So, The Road Not Taken is this contest's winner (loser)!

And now we are onto the next set of brackets. The episodes that made it to the final eight are:

Beast of Burden
The Road Not Taken
Gamekeeper
Prometheus Unbound
Demons
Resurrection
Thor's Chariot
Enemy Mine

Facing off for the first vote are:

LEAST SHIPPY EPISODE CONTEST

Beast of Burden (1)

VS

Gamekeeper

Eh. I was waiting to vote, hoping that someone would come and analyze these two episodes so that I could decide.

I'm really not a fan of either, but if I had to choose which episode to watch, I'd choose "Gamekeeper" because it was an interesting premise and Sam and Jack actually... kind of... sort of... acknowledge? each other in that one?

And I like the moment when Sam hands Jack his gun and he says, "Thank you, ma'am!"

LEAST SHIPPY EPISODE CONTEST

Beast of Burden (2)

VS

Gamekeeper

I'm voting for Beast of Burden, because as someone else said when it was previously up for vote, Jack and Daniel were paired with each other, and Sam and Teal'c were paired with each other. And when they were even together in any scene, Sam and Jack barely looked at each other, and almost acted as though they were uncomfortable with each other. I think I made a comment that this would have been better placed right after Divide & Conquer instead of a season later, because that would have explained their seeming discomfort around each other. On the other hand, I could be entirely wrong.

Beast of Burden (3)

VS

Gamekeeper

I agree with what's been said. Neither episode has much Jack and Sam interaction and neither is a favorite, but I much prefer Gamekeeper to Beast of Burden. At least in Gamekeeper Jack and Sam seem at least cordial with one another. In Beast of Burden they act like they'd rather be anywhere than in one another's presence, and that sour attitude extends to the whole team. And then there are unas. Awful!

Guess what?! It's time for another countdown to Ship Day! Yay!!!!!!

Ten Days 'til Ship Day!

Carter, I need you!



No, not like that. . . . Well, yeah like that too.



But right now I just need you to come take a look at something for me.



Sir, this is a storage closet.






I know. What do you think?



I’m thinking why are you dragging me into a storage closet, Sir?



Because there’s only ten days until Ship Day Carter.



. . . And?



I thought this would be the perfect place!

Ten Days 'til Ship Day!
(Continued)

Sir, we can’t spend Ship Day in a storage closet.



Why not? The Shippers are always talking about us hanging out in here.



Yeah. Sir, that’s the Gutter Gals,
and making Ship Day posts is not exactly the activity
they have in mind when they imagine us in here.



Well what do they think we’re doing in here?



Eyes - Check


Hands - Check


Neck - Check


Lips - Check


Arms -Check


Rear - Check


Tongue - Check


Abs - Check


Sidearm - Check


Handcuffs - Check


Uh . . . Taking inventory?

Carter, you’ve got to be kidding me?!


No, Sir.


What is wrong with these Shippers?


I’d much rather be fishing.








So would I.


Wait . . . really?

[Lucycat]

Looking forward to Ship Day!

Hlndncr -- my fridge is locked, but I LOVED that countdown ficlet. Awesomeness.
