And lets not mention the fact that I had something like...3 or 4 kens
*giggles* and horsies!
So I'll start by posting this... [/center]
too funny!
You guys should fix that before Seahen comes along, it might get ugly. 
Service dress is probably the correct term, but you know how people make up stuff as they go along I'll be sure to call it service dress though, in my fanfics 
You've hit on so many areas I could go on about. As I've said before I've hated Vala and Mitchell and, like so very many of us, noticed a real drop in quality during those last 2 seasons and not because I am against any kind of change and just the fact the Jack wasn't there. I knew there would be a difference but...Holy crap...let me calm down...every time I think of it....ahhh. I just caught a couple minutes of a scene from season 10 on SCi-Fi (unless Jack is in it there's not much of a chance I can make it through most episodes of 9 and 10) and not only did I notice the lack of...anything from Michell I noticed that not only is he always monotone but that his eyebrows hardly ever move. No expression at all.

because I haven’t seen anyone approach it from this particular angle before.He was very clear that he’d have packed it in for a shot at a happy home life, duty or no duty. So why not for Sam? But I do think that if they’re not married now, that’s the reason why.
But this is Felger, after all. It's his fantasy at the end...both here and in The Other Guys, where Sam plants one on him. So...yeah...the boy doll is him. Which, while funny to a degree, is also vaguely disturbing...not just the eww factor...but Felger himself. Who's quite pathetic actually, although they play it for laughs. Which may be why, on the whole, this one and The Other Guys go way low on my list of episodes to watch, even though I do like Sam a lot in this one...always way more than I remember when I do actually watch it. She does a great job of walking the fine line between deservedly irritated and hesitantly compassionate. But still...it's not quite enough to off-set the cringe-worthy Felger-factor. At least IMHO. and Coombs just walking along behind him, not even trying to be quiet LOL!! I also enjoy it coz, it's as though we, the viewer, are watching through the eyes of another viewer as it were. We're seeing SG1 through the eyes of someone who has read about them and worships them and wants to be one of them. And there's something about that, that I like. Plus all the scenes we do get of SG1 are great IMHO. Hehehe, I'm giggling just thinking about it. The scene where 
are standing close together and Felger and Coombes arenhiding behind them is hilarious too me. I know it's a little silly and slightly absurd, but I love it! Spoiled for anyone who doesn't really care as it is slightly OT I guess. Oh, and please don't read it if you are a fan of Mitchell, you won't like it. You have been warned.
He does not want to be having this conversation, but his affection for Sam is such that he doesn't want to not be there when she's clearly in need of someone to talk to. His default mode throughout is defence - you can even see it in the first thing he says when Sam shows him the ring box - "People usually wear these on their fingers". If something comes close to his emotions, he makes a joke. But this is such a painful one. He then spends the whole rest of the scene trying desperately to get out of the conversation and the situation - you can practically see the alarm bells going off in his head the whole time. As to what we might be expected to interpret it as, well I think that she is poking him to get the answer she was looking for in Grace and tried for again in his backyard in Threads. This is actually a halfway house between the two - in Grace she does ask him, effectively the same question (with 'what if I quit?' balancing 'if things had been different?'), but it's only in her head. Here she does actually try to confront him, but in such a roundabout way that as Aveo said, she's giving him a lot of leeway to make a non-answer, which of course he does. In Threads she's determined, and has clearly decided the direct approach is what's needed (although she has to work up to it), and as we were just discussing the other day, probably would have ploughed on with it, but is interrupted by Kerry. Significantly, Jack doesn't answer directly on any of these occasions, and when he finally does tell her, it's of his own accord. Which all goes back to what Jenn was saying the other day about how it was better that we had Kerry's interruption, because it allowed their moment of understanding/declaration to be more equal and natural.
