Or "There but for the Grace of God" wouldn't have pictured an alternate engaged version of the characters (and have the original characters react to this in the next episode). Or made Sam jump Jack/Jack get jealous under the virus. Or made Sam pretend to be Jack's wife when it appears they are going to die in Solitudes. And other subtle stuff (like having Sam talking with Daniel, saying she has a thing for the lunatic fringe and the camera immediately cuts to Jack behind them... Sara also looks a bit like Sam in the show and it's not impossible it was made on purpose *especially considering what Sam does in Solitudes*).
Yes, it's true the (original) characters weren't in love yet at that time, but... all those scenes wouldn't have made the cut if the writers just wanted the audience to think of them as friends/comrades and nothing else. Why would the writers include those scenes if they didn't recognize or encourage a potential future romance for those 2 characters ? That's why I don't think it's true that the romantic angle was considered at the start of season 3. The first season says otherwise to me. Season 3 just developped it further. Season 4 too on top of canonizing the mutual feelings.
But overall, yep... I like that the relationship gradually evolved.
