Sam Carter /Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread 2.0

[hedwig]

scene was very nicely done between Rick and Amanda. you gotta wonder though if sam did marry pete, would she have quit Stargate Command? quit the airforce? would pete guilt trip her into doing that?

Personally, I doubt she would have quit. She loves her work far too much to do that. And I think had Pete insisted, it would have been the end of the marriage.

Angst, angst, angst.How about when Sam watches Jack say goodbye to Lara? (Laira? Whatever. 100 Days. You all know it.) Sam looks so--beaten. I can't watch the episode because I always feel bad for her in the end. (Well, that, and I don't like Lara.)

100 days was my least favorite ep...primarily because it tears my heart out and serves it on a platter with a side of fava beans and a nice chianti. *looks furtively around* not that I'm that INTO the series or anything!

Sam worked so #$@& hard to bring him home! Based on Janet's comments...pulling all-nighters? 4 stupid months and she never gave up! She was so excited when she got there...got to see him again...and the look on her face at the end...

(thanks for sharing AKA...obviously this one does touch a terribly angsty part of my heart...)

For a long time Hundred Days was my favorite ep because it is so angsty. You see, I used to live deep within the dark cavern of angst, but recently the fluffy clouds have bored a hole through the roof of my cave and I can't deal with the dark anymore.

[Everlovin]

Isn't fluffy wonderful though? I couldn't live without fluff.

[Akamaimom]

I love fluff! I find too much angst to be detrimental to my shipper health!

[SamJackShipper93]

I'm live deep in the angst cavern (though I've got a summer home in the fluff clouds) but 100 Days is one episode I just can't stand. My heart just breaks for Sam when Jack walks away from her.

I agree! All servings of angst need to come with a side order of fluff for me - is better for my heart that way

[gater62]

Regarding angsty scenes:

In "Affinity", where Sam shows Jack the engagement ring.

I seriously wanted to cry when I first saw that scene! My take was Sam wanted Jack to say something to show her that he still cared for her more than he should, and he didn't! My heart literally broke!

Angst, angst, angst.

How about when Sam watches Jack say goodbye to Lara? (Laira? Whatever. 100 Days. You all know it.) Sam looks so--beaten. I can't watch the episode because I always feel bad for her in the end. (Well, that, and I don't like Lara.)

I so agree! (The very first video I ever made was based on this episode! I was just learning how to use movie maker, and well, the angst was too good to pass up!)

I have to agree.

OT Pol:

Spoiler:

Her surgery went well and she's being amusedly dopey on drugs

[hedwig]

"Entity" where Jack has to 'kill' Sam. And later when he's sitting at her bedside and Janet comes in to talk about the "no heroic measures" stuff.

"Divide & Conquer" where Sam watches as Jack is being escorted down the corridor to be experimented on by Anise.

[666startover]

In threads when Sam comes to talk to Jack and sees he's not alone...so sad

(I've been lurking for a while..and couldn't help it )

Yeah man. D&C was like.... yeah.

That whole ep was absolutely a defining moment in Sam/Jack history.

What about Jack agreeing to be experimented on because he didn't want to risk losing her. The same reason he didn't leave Sam when the stupid band fell off.....

..... he couldn't live without her.

Basically that's what he said:

"I'd have rather died myself, than lose Carter."

Could

Not

Live

Without

Her.


Oh the angst people!!!!!!


On another note:

Glad to hear Pol's doing well.

Congrats in coming into the light ...you might want to wear shades for awhile...sudded exit from the angst cavern can strike you blind!!

So true. Fluff chasers must follow stiff doses of angst... and don't do either on an empty stomach....

I'm live deep in the angst cavern (though I've got a summer home in the fluff clouds) but 100 Days is one episode I just can't stand. My heart just breaks for Sam when Jack walks away from her.

...And AT played that last scene so perfectly! I feel a little sick whenever I watch it (can I admit without embarassment that the last time I watched it I actually CRIED and yelled at Jack??) *ok...a little embarassment* ...Ahem, I was overly hormonal at the time.

I seriously wanted to cry when I first saw that scene! My take was Sam wanted Jack to say something to show her that he still cared for her more than he should, and he didn't! My heart literally broke!

It certainly seemed like she was looking for his reaction. One of those 'if you were ever going to give me a reason to turn him down, this would be a good time'. And he didn't!

"Divide & Conquer" where Sam watches as Jack is being escorted down the corridor to be experimented on by Anise.

Oh the angst! thanks hedwig... I especially like the slow motion version during Sam's sedation in D&C with Jack walking away and it has kind of a misty look to the lighting...

OT Pol:

Thanks Leia! Please pass on our love 'n hugs!!

Spoiler:

Tell her we're recording all goofiness for future blackmail

...and that is why we have Ship Day! YAY! One of the best lines in the ENTIRE ship...thanks trinity.

And my contribution:



CARTER: I've been sitting in your driveway for the last ten minutes, trying to work up the nerve to come and talk to you.
[O'Neill looks at her, eyebrows raised.]
CARTER: The truth is, I've been trying to work up the nerve for a lot longer than that.
...
[O'Neill, looking slightly uncomfortable, glances into the house.]
O'NEILL: Look, Carter, I don't know what…
CARTER: I'm sorry to bother you with this, but uh, see, there's actually a very good reason that I'm bothering you with this, and if I don't tell you now, I might never…
[The back door opens and Kerry Johnson comes out of the house.]

Angst, angst, angst. Did anybody else think she was going to get to finish that statement the first time you saw it?? SO CLOSE! So darn close...

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

i for one am glad they got their act together after threads (at least I THINK they got their act togehter) especially with Richard leaving the show at the end of season 8.
