First impressions were pretty ugly, but I found a second viewing eased the pain somewhat. It's not real happy, shipper-wise so far and the spoilers are the usual vagueness so... No.
I'm keeping my hopes up. If the PTB don't sink the ship this season, I'll be happy. I don't expect resolution this season, and probably never, but I am going to keep watching in case there is a teeny hint.
I hope S9 is that way for me too. I've just re-watched S8 on Sky One (first time since it aired originally) and I have to say I've enjoyed it a lot more than I did the first time around. Some parts I'll always dislike, but overall, I did like the season. I even liked Moebius this time around!
This season I'm all prepared to hate it the first time round, then enjoy it when I see the repeats.
Wait a minute . . . . We can't have any resolution to the ship - kissing, weddings, whatever - because it's too soap-opera-ish, yet they can write in a
Spoiler:
mysterious pregnancy
for Vala????
This makes no sense whatsoever!!!!!
[sarcasm] But consider, this perfectly fits into the realm of pseudo religion and sci-fi that is Stargate [/sarcasm]
Clutching at straws is the phrase that springs to mind. I hope I'm gonna be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not holding out much hope.
wow i'm gone for several months and i miss all the excitement...though i do have something to say about the ship...during last weeks eppy (i think, but times been all screwy with me lately) i'm thinking it was pretty obvious who Sam was referring to when she said "not exactly" to the question of whether she was single or not...im fairly sure that's already been addressed...but yeah anyway. *hides in her cabin*
Ohh.. this was talked about lots! And I think everyone came to conclusion ...(or hoped most desperately ) that she was talking about Jack.
And honestly... who else could she mean.. But read back over the last few posts.. (you may need to go back a bit, because there is a lot) ..and read what everyones opinions are
For me, I know that Jack and Sam are together meaning that they won't get involved with other people because they are accepting the fact that they are involved with each other; the problem I have is after waiting 8+ years this is all we get? Okay, okay a lot of changes in Season 9 and an especially big one RDA not a regular anymore (hard to type) and as shippers we wait for the proverbial crumb to be tossed our way in Season 9 that will keep our hope flames lit; but come on
Spoiler:
Vala pregnant!!!!!!!! How come whenever we want romantic scenes between Jack and Sam it is considered "soap operaish" but yet we can have romantic scenes between Sam and Pete, Teal'c and Ishta, and our current two some Daniel and Vala and that is considered sci-fi storytelling????? I know it is all a game with TPTB they knew by not giving us a big honkin kiss that we would still want more, and they are right. The fact that Jack and Sam are together is great and about time, but the fact that we didn't get to SEE any of it is very disturbing; it would be like watching our team heading out to defeat the System Lords for the last and final time but instead of finding out what happens the show ends and at the beginning of the next episode we learn through Daniel that the team has since broken up but that we did win and everything is fine, totally unfulfilling. We know the key parts, we won, but we didn't get to witness it for ourselves and go through the emotions so therefore maybe it didn't happen.
I know for myself that whenever I watch any of Marimba's or Caty's videos I see and feel the potential and yes I KNOW that they are together but somehow ??????????
For those of you who are satisfied with Threads being the resolution, more power to you; but I want more; but will we get it?? that is where the eternal flame of hope keeps burning.
