On fighting:
Farrah: "A swordsman does not fear death, if he dies with honor."

Have to agree though, she sure was stroking his handing in a very loving manner. Nuff said.
As for your heart, it's the size of the British Isles....maybe larger.sigpic

I'll make a pair of me too. If anyone else wants them, please, just say the word. My treat, to all shippers! We have to stick together....to fight the evil anti-shippers. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Originally posted by Buc252That's funny - I always thought that S6 was pack jammed full of ship! From them flying together in the X302, to being underwater and nearly drowned in Decent.

Originally posted by Buc252The quote was mine, and what I specifically said was, "Space is not the final frontier; the final frontier is in human relationships." And I firmly believe that. How can you possibly make any show that lasts any significant amount of time without showing how people relate to each other? A movie, okay - that's two hours in our lives and maybe a few days in the characters'. But SG1 has spanned eight years. Who in eight years wouldn't want *some* romance in their life with the man or woman they loved?
I do think, though, that a big chunk of the anti-shippers aren't the male 18-36 demographic, as mentioned previously. Personally, I think it's just a small portion, which also includes the Danielites (who don't want to see time dedicated to anything non-Daniel), and the slashers (who think that it's horrible to show Jack with anybody but Daniel.) Between the three groups, I guess they *could* have a considerable contingent, but i don't know if anybody's ever done a survey. All I do know is that they definitely scream the loudest.
And we, sadly, by being polite and quiet, have lost. Again.
The Sam & Jack relationship is such a big part of the storyline - every bit as much as the Jack / Daniel friendship and Jack / Teal'c friendship. I understand people wanting to ignore it out of personal preference, but I really don't understand people insisting it isn't there. How can you miss it!~%?#$?!
I do think that our politeness hasn't had a detrimental effect though. Despite all the noise from other factions of fandom and ambivalent ptb (except the lovely JM ), the ship still sails. I think that's a testament to how important tptb see the S&J storyline.
It's hard to find any sort of genre series or movie whether they be sci-fi, horror, thriller, action/adventure without some form of ship.
So in the end, I don't worry about the naysayers - the show speaks for itself.

*grumbles about the unfairness of having to wait till OCTOBER to watch S9*
Seriously though, I love the countdown Nell, keep it up! It reminds me how fast time flies in shippy fandom. I'll be glued to the thread relying on my lovely family to feed my withdrawal until I get to see it too.

Originally posted by BillieWell, I guess I'm just gonna have to plan in a S6 shipperthon then (all in the name of research obviously!) my flatmate is so gonna love me!
Also must rewatch shades of grey having heard some of your thoughts as I can't say I saw it in a shippy light. I remember feeling miffed on Sams part as his comment really stung and also coz he never really apologised (or did I miss that?)
Daniel and Sam figure out what happened and do the whole "just to clarify" bit, then you see Sam looking at Jack (while Daniel's talking) and you see her face relax a little. I think there's a moment of understanding there, but we don't see how Jack looks at Sam! I have to supply that bit myself - and its a doozysigpic

I don't want to sound like I'm preaching here (actually its more the voice of experience having had my wrists slapped by a moderator before for this very thing when I was a newbie), but we aren't supposed to diss other fans in the thread. We can express disbelief at their sentiments, but anti-bashing and calling them names usually brings a visit from the moderators.
I certainly don't say this to make anyone feel unwelcome or their opinions unimportant, so I apologise if I upset anyone - its not intentional. Just trying to avoid an "offical" visit from a moderator.sigpic

Originally posted by blueirisI kind of got the feeling that the actors were perhaps trying to instill in that moment what TPTB would not express in words. I like to think that, at least.
Yeah - kind of like the way they cut the dialogue out of the D&C forceshield scene made it more powerful. Gives our shippy imaginations far more reign than if they had actually said something.sigpic
