Whoa, popping into a bit of a storm. Okay, folks, we all love Sam/Jack and that's why we're here. Let's take a deep breath and remember that fact, okay?
Tone and meaning don't translate well into written text, so...okay, deep breath
Now, that said, I'm dropping off a Campfire, post Jolinar's Memories. Enjoy.
Then go eat a Christmas cookie.

I've known we've had a new thread, but I've not posted cause...um...you know how it is... I didn't visit Shipmas either. Oh, I miss the days I never would have missed Shipmas or gone a day without posting. But, things change. Except . That's forever.

but that's b/c of burnout. NOT with ship, but just... tired of waiting, for what's been over 10 years. does take something out of someone, this waiting.
but sam/jack never gets old!sally

Did I hear my name and pot-stirring in the same sentence?
*resists urge to pete-spam the thread*
It really has been too long! Do you know, there are shippers here that don't know how annoying I am? That saddens me greatly! I might have to stage another coup...(hehe, I accidentally wrote that as soup...staging soup wouldnt be too bad...it could be potato-spam soup...ha!)
watch yourselves, shippers...I'm souping!sigpic

Originally posted by majorsal View Postto be honest with you, i didn't even completely read your sam/teal'c posts (jenn's either), b/c i didn't want to read sam/other posts here. so if you've been talking about them in a context of 'friendship', then i'm sorry i missed it.
i can't stand sam/pete, but i've not asked anyone to not talk about it *b/c* it existed on the show. yes, there's some that merely talk about it b/c they love to stir the pot (hi, bekki! ), but for the context of the show and the s/j relationship, it's something that impacted on our couple and is debate material.
but sam/teal'c? it's not real, it's not canon.
am i being picky or pig-headed? perhaps, but like i said before, it's all about the 'intent'.
Spoiler:There's a difference between discussing canon, and imagining a romantic relationship that's been negated by the writers themselves. That takes a bit of desire and interest in the relationship that goes past the observation of what is happening on the screen. And if a shipper is defined as someone wants to see the relationship, well...
But I guess my main objection to Sam/Teal'c is that it reinforces the idea of Sam being unwilling or unable to stick with Jack through thick and thin, of needing to be with someone. Which was understandable before Threads, but now, not so much. It's a summation of things- TRE, The Road Not Taken, the comments that AT has made, the fact that we've never seen S/J confirmed on screen.
And I also see it as sort of symptomatic. We've been waiting, and waiting and waiting. And it's natural for us to wonder why that is, to make the story we believe fit with what we see. Or maybe even to distance ourselves from the ship in case we're disappointed. Hence the questioning. I was just mentioning this to Cags the other day as the reason why I've pretty much left the building. I've got my little image of S/J, and maybe imagination is all I'm ever going to get. I would like to keep what happy thoughts I have.Last edited by VSS; 20 December 2009, 11:12 PM.
