*sigh*
sam and jack were so dysfunctional.
they confess their feelings for one another. time passes, with little bits of hints for the other to see. 3 years later, and sam is starting to question jack's feelings for her. she's starting to question her own. BUT, instead of talking to jack about things, she goes off (after a serious concussion) to find a romance partner.
jack finds out, seems hurt-like, but... he doesn't really say anything to sam about his feelings. and sam's SO stuck into her own head, she misses the hints of his true discomfort.
time passes, and jack almost dies twice ('heroes' and 'lost city'). *this*, to me, is when sam saw the light, especially in 'lost city'. she, herself, knew she was truly *in love* with jack. the acting, the writing, the directing showed us as much. but season 8 begins with sam *still* with pete. no and no. realistically, i believe sam would have spoken with jack at least, let alone broken up with the man that was just a stand-by for the one she really loved. (but this all continued b/c the writers weren't ready to bring sam and jack together)
then pete proposes. sam stumbles with insecurity and uncertainty. oh, and her feelings for that guy she works with.
i'm sure jack was hurt by sam moving on past him. but if he'd talked to sam, really talked to her, i know she would have dropped pete. but did he keep quiet b/c he was hurt? felt he wasn't worthy? prideful? not in love with her anymore?
was sam hurt by jack not speaking up? did she feel he wasn't in love with her anymore, *because* he didn't tell her he loved her? was sam even aware that 'she' was the one that started the break between them? or was she? maybe she felt jack 'had' lost that feeling for her, b/c he could be so distant with his feelings.
sam fell into a dysfunctional cycle of ignoring her feelings, which turned into going with the flow and NOT dealing with the situation. and she did the same thing with pete, when things became serious and she *knew* she wasn't in love with him like that but continued with the relationship getting more and more serious for him. she couldn't deal with her feelings for jack or their situation, and she did the same with with pete. she was confused and conflicted, and went into some brain limbo. she just went along on autopilot.
maybe she was waiting for jack to rescue her?
that would have been a grand gesture from jack. why didn't he?
maybe she felt he didn't love her.
maybe jack felt she didn't love him, *because* she hooked up with another man.
if this was rambling i'm sorry. it just all fell out.sally

The grand gesture, the lack of talking, the distance from Jack, I'm inclined to think that it's because Sam wanted to lock it in a room.
Sure, those feelings expanded beyond that room, but she hadn't, in anyway, also given any indication that that particular rule of hers had changed. So for Jack to say something after that would only be seen as pushy and perhaps inappropriate.

I don't thinks so. She asked him directly "What about you? If things had been different..." It was clear she was desperate to talk them. That was the most she had put herself out there in a long time, and Jack didn't budge and help the situation AT ALL. One of the most frustrating moments I had with Jack. I still don't understand why he said "I wouldn't be here." Any ideasanyone?

i don't think either one was willing to change the status quo of the team or their would-be relationship.sally

I would love to see AT and RDA take up the challenge of shifting Sam and Jack from what they last played to the thing that was tested (positively, as far as I'm concerned) and hinted at for so many years then finally "promised" albeit never confirmed.
Sam, Jack and Stargate SG-1 deserve finality. Maybe I've lived a sheltered life here at Gateworld but I truly do believe that Sam and Jack being a couple is the biggest argument out there and the PTB (glares at SyFy...grrrrr) failed to settled it.sally

So strong, in fact, that they are willing to sublimate their own gratification for the greater good.
No martyrdom, simply the pained stepping back from what he believes he/they cannot have.
Editing to add: I've always thought that be delaying their own "big finish," they were engaging in a greater, more operatic display of love, a "Grand Love," if you will. Each time they go somewhere together, face death together, save the planet together, they deepen their love. But...that may be too meta.sigpic

Regarding the "locking it" in the room, I feel I must point out that there was never anything said about "locking it" in the room. That's fanon. All that was said was "leave it" in the room. There's a big difference. I don't feel there was any implication of a lock or barring the door or anything like that. They just walked away and ignored the door for a long time.

Remember, Sam's "leaving it in the room" was for them both, militarily. If she didn't agree she would be required to report the incident which would have meant (transfer) and their Grand Love (the quest/mission/show) couldn't have continued.
Edit: I took this view in my post-ep Campfire (I think it was this one). Just sayin.'

They put it on the back burner because they had more important things to do first, like saving the planet...actually LOTS of planets.sigpic

In fact, her statement was:
CARTER: None of this has to leave this room.
And Jack replies something like: "And we're okay with that?"
And then they get interrupted.
