Hey was the hair smelling in the elevator included amongst these moments? I love that scene. I think it's my favourite obscure moment, because gee it said a lot!

I remember when I first saw that scene, my jaw was like wide open and I couldn't wait until the episode was over so I could rewind the tape and see if I hadn't imagined it. LOL.
Of course me wanting the episode over had nothing at all to do with . Not.

I love this moment because it was like he was blindsided by her. He couldn't not look. Hot. Very hot.

I love the "Welcome to my life" scene too, because it's sweet and funny. But a physical and gut reaction will get my vote every time!

I have a question for you about a thing I really don't understand!

There are a lot of fics where Sam gets pregnant while she still is Jack's 2IC and she runs away, doesn't tell him about the baby and maybe she even marries someone else!
Do you really think that if she got pregnant (BTS, alien influence, screw the regs...choose what you are more comfortable with) she would do that? I can understand the "freak out moment", even that she could go away for a while to think and make a decision, but I don't believe she would deny Jack a second chance of fatherhood, even with the consequences for their careers. But maybe it's just me!

Funny you mention this as I was just discussing it with A Karswyll yesterday. I don't buy that Sam would run away and raise or abort Jack's baby without at least telling him (regardless of what a supposed ass he might have been). She might "flee" if there's something unusual about the child, like naquadah and/or ATA gene, that she knows means the NID will come after the baby, but not without telling Jack. And after telling him he'd probably come with. But I really don't like those kind of stories because in my mind they would stay and fight to protect their baby, rather than live on the run (or maybe they'd relocate somewhere else, like with the Asgard but even that is unlikely - at least long term).

I like fluff but only in moderation and I don't think the second moment was quite shippy enough on my ship-o-meter.

I had typed out this whole ramble about what I liked about this pairing compared to what you now often see on TV but then I accidentally refreshed the page and it got lost... can't be bothered to type it out again.

But I'll just say that I like how the focus on S/J is often their genuine feelings and respect for each other but every now and then there are also those moments where they display the sexual attraction they feel, which is something I like especially because the show doesn't really focus on their looks/attractiveness even though they're both very attractive.

Hey everyone!

I love these things *points to your post* . And another thing I find strangely enticing about their relationship is like we talked about on FFnet. He pretends to be stupid, but he's not really. Sometimes I wonder if he pretends to be like that just so she'll explain it to him...
Nah, forget it, I'm rambling. And it's only 5:40pm here.

Hiya Sim!

Hiya Sim!

Hi, Sparky. I'm working on Night Begins Here right now. S/J scene at the minute. Fishing!

Love the fishing!

Love the fishing!

You'll like this trip even more. But saying anything else would be venturing into the realm of story spoilers.

I'm glad you're still enjoying them!

Nope, never really bought the dumb act from Jack and I'd like to think he also picked up some stuff over the years after working with Daniel and Sam. I definitely think he acts stupid at certain times (when appropriate, not in the field) just so Sam will explain it to him (and give him her undivided attention) like the wormhole/apple explanation, but I wouldn't go as far as him understanding everything she says*. It helps, though, that Sam often uses simple metaphors and considering the occasional remark/suggestion ("couldn't we use that Ben Franklin thing?") from Jack he gets those less complicated things. Probably the known science, opposed to the more complicated (theoretical and/or extrapolated) stuff that Sam comes up with after seeing/experiencing some alien phenomena/technology.


* One of my fanfic pet peeves is when they make Jack übersmart and give him a master or even a PhD in astrophysics too! Or him having written books about it and/or reading Sam's theories (or other people's) and making little notes on the sidelines that disagree with those theories in detail... Even if he likes to play dumb to get the enemy to underestimate him I highly doubt Jack would take his act that far, especially since he really didn't seem to like getting yet another scientist on his team in the beginning. He could have easily argued with Hammond that he has the same qualifications and thus wouldn't need Sam in the field in that case.
