Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0
Now, we might all say that Jack is also a father figure--he was her SO, after all, and he's a good 15 years older than she is. But he accepts her for who she is--and doesn't ever force her hand in personal matters. And I would think that the trust they've built up over the years goes a long way towards making her stronger in that relationship than she was with either Jonas or Pete.
I think, actually, the fact Jack didn't force her hand, so to speak, and she was used to that sort of thing rather handicapped her relationship with jack because I think she was assuming all along that *if* he loved her, he would act and let her know. It was his allowing her to take the lead, so to speak, that was an instrumental part in convincing her he didn't really care any more. She didn't realize that it was because he loved her that he was letting her choose.
EDIT: LOL. I love the wall scene. Ah, the effects of so many years of UST misdirected. ((Sam))
Just watch yourselves...we all know whose boyfriend he is...now...
Then you might just like this sig:

I just love him in that epi I have nothing against David DeLuise as an actor. I'm just gonna say that as a character, um, wasn't my fave of his roles.
But anything else and he's great.
But like Jess said, we will never try to take im away from you.
yep, and I can't watch the show because all I see is him and Sam and a wall.
LOL, I think it's funny to watch the show because his character's a bit clueless and very "eye-roll-worthy".
I just can't help but see Pete.

Me too...I enjoy mild, "we're bound by our professionalism and duty so we can't be together now" angst...and even some whump worry and angst. And I agree that Pete was a very useful plot device. But I absolutely can't do death fic that involves either S or J...and ultimately, I want to know that they are together and that it's a good choice for both of them.
So you'll find me sitting on the edge of the angst cave with Pol...and we'll probably be sipping hot cocoa and making s'mores.

So...why can't I open the .flv and .mp4 files I downloaded from YouTube via keepvid.com ? I have IE7; I have a fairly new lappie. I have Flash Player and Windows Media Player. Exactly what type of sofware do I need to open files with these extensions???

Certain video-making programs only work in certain formats... You can get a free format converter to a format that you know that works (you just have to google it )
Eve absolutely did a lovely job, as always. So with all due loving respect for hers... I was *inspired* to make something that might appeal to those pesky Cavern-dwelling Shippers.
But my Valenship *Wallpaper* is drenched in Gutter. You know, the one that's not the invite. Cause I don't know that *all* Shippers would want something so... blatant.
Now that, my friend, *is* one of the uses for fanfic
Fortunately, her knees are good enough for the both of them.
Superhuman strength there huh? I did read one author who thought Jack ought to have decent knees the number of times he went through the sarcophagus, but as we saw with Daniel's eyes, it's not a lasting effect.
Although I did read one fic that suggested that the sarcophagus also gave Jack a brand spankin' new fishing rod with which to go fishing. State of the art and great for quick recasts. I found that slightly hilarious to say the least. Only in fanfic, my dears, only in fanfic.

Why did that author assume that his old rod wasn't up to the task? It's not like he's out for marlin.
REALLY REALLY BAD GUTTER PUN AHEAD--PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
Spoiler:
He's just going for a little bass.
If it ain't broke don't fix it right? Besides, I don't know about everyone else but fishing for hours gets a little tiresome after a while. If Jack got one of them fancy fishing rods no doubt Sam would start wondering if he was ever going to reel anything in and then fishing just wouldn't be as much fun.
Again, it's not the rod, it's the fisherman that makes fishing enjoyable.
