I guess I'm a minority here in that I'm not angry with the writers and their vagueness with Jack/Sam. Still, I can understand everyone's frustration. There is another show I watch where the couple I want to get together isn't together and it has really put me off the show. And this show is only in its sophomore year, so I haven't been waiting that long. I still watch it, but my interest is greatly decreased. For some reason, I just don't feel that way with SG1.

I suppose I'm quite fickle (unintentionally). How frustrated I am with the writers depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Sometimes I can accept that Sam & Jack have been together since the end of Threads and I don't actually need to see anything on screen to justify this. But sometimes I think that we had to put up with an 8 year wait (while both characters were still around) and the general ickiness that was

, so we deserve to see sam/Jack RST on screen.

Welcome to the thread by the way!

Pittsburghgirl right again. Like you said to, what exactly does "always" mean? With her answer of "for being here for me", his "always" could mean... Don't worry Sam I'll "always" have your back, Don't worry Sam whatever you do in your life I'll "always" be here for you, or I will "always" be there for you because I will "always" love you. "Always" certainly doesn't move us forward because all us shippers knew this already. I guess like you have said neither of these two episodes moved us forward, they pretty much brought us back to where we were or I should say where they were.

I agree with you, but there is the way he said "Always." It definitely sounded romantic and with a depth of emotion. Of course, the anti-shippers would not hear it that way.

Your right Sally.We should do something.I choose to not watch the Show anymore until we get some Sam/Jack Ship.IMO the worst thing a Shipper can do is to continue to watch the Show everyweek and hope for the best.I really hope the ratings are bad for the 2nd half of Season 9.TPTB would probably deny it had anything to do with Shippers not watching the Show.Every Shipper has the right to continue to watch the Show but IMO this Show is lousy and holds no interest for me.

**ses110** · 09 December 2005, 05:57 PM

Excellent point pittsburghgirl.Many times TPTB made Sam and Jack look bad by not showing them having an Adult conversation and Threads made Jacob really look bad.Does anyone really think Jacob would talk to Sam in codes while he is on his Deathbed? Sam also did not look good playing dumb to her Dying Father either.I never really though about it until now.Some of the writters and members of TPTB better hope this Show lasts a long time because they may have trouble finding work elsewhere.Unless they go work for a show that has only Robots and no People.

BRAVO for that post SES ..You said it right ..Pathetic how Tptb use Sam for kissing other men !!! It was alright at the beginning because she was not with Jack romantically but Now as we know they are ..or aren't they !!! *scratches head*

they really should find somebody else to kiss the other men specially Mac Kay .I mean you can have a crush on someone but after a while it disappears and if Mac Kay has still a crush on Sam ..I 'm even wondering if he had sex with anybody else since season whatever when he was following her around like a little puppy dog

He needs to find himself a nice little local woman frrom the next village in Atlantis

let's Sam do her job and make sure he understands that she is with Jack .

You know I have never seen a TPTB playing the shippers that badly in a show ..specially if Sam and Jack are supposed to be RST now ...In fact they seem to portrait that being in a relationship in not worth mentioning because it's boring ..well we can see they are only men in the writers section .....

.......Ask any women to wrote a RST episode and I'm sure they 'll make it worth watching without the romance taking over the episode . What is wrong with showing 2 people in love on screen ?!!

and as you said Vala can be the damsel in distress next for everybody to rescue and kiss .

..and to the shipmas team , I 'll be around a week on Sunday to take part for a while

Speaking of Sam with other men, Ascension was on tonight. Did anyone watch to see Sam being "intimate" with Orlin as supposedly she admitted to Landry?

All I remember from that episode is the two of them all glowy together, guess that was intimacy ala ST-TMP.

**sueKay** · 09 December 2005, 06:10 PM

Gatetrixer - I think that that, more than anything is the comment that's irked me more than any other ship related comment EVER

Spoiler:

...it was just TPTB as usual 'sexing' everything up for the male demographic...they think that by making it look like Sam's 'been about' that the new you male demographic will 'like' her. Disgusting.

Problem is, Caty. I have a feeling they've introduced Vala to please us S/J shippers. If you remember, they used to have a kind of ship rota.

Week 1: Sam + Character of the Week
Week 2: Daniel + Character of the Week
Week 3: Sam + Character of the Week
Week 4: Jack + Character of the Week
Week 5: Sam + Character of the Week

Repeat as necessary

Once Jack left however, it was left as
Daniel +CotW
Sam +CotW
Daniel+Cotw

To keep shippers vaguely trotting along, they couldn't have Sam involved. And despite what Jack says in Broca Divide, even Daniel can't have a woman on every planet. So they needed a new character, a female who could get away with having numerous romantic conquests. The Feminist James T Kirk, if you will.

So, TPTB will argue it's our fault. Just like Grace.

Teal'c had his romances of the week, too. Even one with Krista just two episodes before he is reunited with Ishta.

**ses110** · 09 December 2005, 06:13 PM

Since TPTB Love to change what we though we knew about Sam,How long before we hear Sam was intimate with Daniel Teal'c Hammond Martouf Narim Felger McKay.I heard on another Thread that Sam and Mitchell may have some History.It may have come from JM.I'am not sure.I hope it's not true.What happened to the Sam from Accession who came Home and played her answering machine and there was no messages? So much for Sam working in her Lab all the time.

**Gatetrixer** · 09 December 2005, 06:18 PM

I knew it! TV Guide magazine says "Cheers to Stargate SG-1 for adding Claudia Black as a full-time cast member to the 10th season." It goes on to say her character is a "delightful scenery-chewing role" and "sexy but slippery thief." And of course, a photo of CB in a BDU shirt with enough buttons undone to show cleavage.

No, they were not intimate unless you consider that "glowy thing" he did with her. But, I thought it was some intellectual/spiritual thing. Sam was interested as a scientist not romantically. She even told Orlin very clearly that they did not have a RELATIONSHIP when he was all smitten with her.

Now how TPTB turned that into Season 9

Spoiler:

I blame TPTB because their scene was inconsistent with what we know Sam to be.

**ses110** · 09 December 2005, 06:31 PM

That's Matt Roush.He falls over himself to praise anything relating to Farscape.I laughed when I read that article.This guy should be working for TPTB of SG-1.It was probably his idea to hire CB and BB for SG-1.IMO this guy should go watch his repeats of Farscape all 3 or 4 Seasons worth and give up being a TV Critic.

I guess you knew I was being snarky. I also should have put my remarks in spoilers and apologize for that for anyone who hasn't seen that episode. I agree the way that wrote that scene--not having Sam

I thought it was a pretty poor joke at Sams expense. They couldn't resist making Sam look bad.

I've decided from the little I've seen of the Dr. Lam character that I don't like her. Are they writing her that unlikeable on purpose? What purpose?
