I take it you have the Gutter Giggles?

What's significant - IMHO - isn't when he calls her 'Sam' early in the series. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a senior officer calling a junior by their first name. What's significant is the sudden stop after Serpent's Song, giving credence to the theory his using 'Carter' or her rank exclusively becomes a sort of barrier between them as a reminder of the professional nature of their relationship.

Much in the same way, really, as her saying 'Sir' every 5 words. It is - btw - less acceptable for a junior to refer to a senior by their first name and is generally only done after the senior gives permission and in relative privacy amongst those who work closely together.

Bingo. Yes. Exactly.

Yes, it was in Italian...and in Moebius the final dialogue was even more shipper in my language

All right. We're all goin' to Italy.

Or learning Italian.

Apparently!

I second that!!

I always assumed the sarcophagus would have healed his knee(s), given how many times Ba'al put him in it. But a lot of people seem to think the knees didn't get healed. Plus, on occasion after "Abyss", Jack seemed to be limping again or favoring one leg over the other.

Several fanfic writers have put forth that assertion. I had never considered it until I read it in fanfic, but you know, it kinda makes sense. If the sarchophagus can bring you back from the dead and heal your injuries, it stands to reason that it could also improve your overall physical condition and reverse the effects of aging.

So...I kinda subscribe to that idea too. It's logical.

I think that the whole "knees" issue was in there because of RDA's knees issues. Kind of like certain pregnancies. . .

Anyhoo.

My theory is that the sarcophagus will heal acute conditions, and chronic ones for a time. But chronic conditions that are programmed into one's DNA will return. So, if you have problems with your eyes, then they will return again, as we've seen with Daniel still needing his glasses. Jack's knees are an on-going issue. Presumably, the same things that make them "go bad" in the first place will return to wreak havoc on them when there's no sarcophagus to heal them for a time.

See, here I knew I did.

Ah the backrub!


But Platinum is...

coz they're in their little lovenest and five minutes after that I had them "trying for a baby"

Strangely enough I don't have any pictures of them in the red-and-miserable phase but that might be because I don't have a SimPete to spoil things.


I swear, I am a grown woman with adult responsibilities. You wouldn't know it but, I am.

Tee-hee! I love this!!! Please...more...when you aren't tending to adult responsibilities, of course!

I agree. Hence the need to return to the sarchophagus from time to time...

OT Sims:

Spoiler:

All this Sim talk is amusing me. I don't play the game, but my mother does and she has a Remington Steele Sim, proving we're not the only ones. Poor man died at one point in a tragic hot tub accident (so it's sort of related to several of our convos here today) and she sweet talked my brother into sending her the programmer codes so she could resurrect him or some such (and make him better/stronger/whatever.) Which is sort of like having a sarcophagus I suppose.

And vaguely on topic: Just finally watched SGU with hubs. Isn't it annoying how some guys will comment during the quiet parts and then get mad if you try to talk during the action sequences. I mean... What are you going to miss?

*sigh*

Men.

SGU

Spoiler:

i think that there should be SGU related sam Jack stories. But it's up to you guys if you want to write 'em

[IggyMing]

Nope. I don't mean the SGC. Since Sam is commanding The Hammond, I'm pretty sure it doesn't fall under the control of the SGC. Although, on the most recent SGU episode, when Jack gave Sam the go-ahead to go after the Lucian Alliance, he didn't stop to get permission from the IOA, so I might leave them out of the equation, and say her job falls under Homeworld Security/Air Force. And the SGC falls under Homeworld Security/IOA control, I believe. But, then, what do I know?

But, if Sam's job falls under Homeworld Security (or is it now Homeworld Command?), then isn't she back to being within the same chain of command as Jack, if he is the head of Homeworld Security? I do believe that they got together after Threads, but likely after ensuring the regs were no longer an issue... so, wouldn't being in the same CoC affect their ability to have a relationship?

A little reminder of one of today's convos as I say good night...

Sweet Dreams, Ship Family!!!

*cough*

If you mean specific episode or even tie-ins, I've written Winners and Losers. I've also written Out of the Mouth and Interruptus (egads) which take place during the SGU period. Plus Short Stuff, which probably takes place after SGU (or at least, after where we're at) but is SGU Sam and Jack and reflects the geo(or is that uni)political situation of the period. They're all JennVerse (of course ) which means they don't contradict canon but definitely push the envelope.

(but.. darn it.. not contradicted yet )

I'll leave it to others here to self-pimp for fear I'll miss someone through unintentional oversight.
