Sam Carter/Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread

You know I always had a suspicion that Sally actually liked the shrub and her dislike of him was just a cover up...the universe is starting to make sense now!

*hugs Sally*


See look you even have him in your post...awww You do like potatoes

but he didn't let sam pick out the house with him. *he* chose it. while that rings of a romantic gesture, it also shows a forwardness that would tick the living heck out of me if i were on the receiving end. did he already have the furniture picked out too? (did he buy the dog already? )

i'm curious, where did you get that she described to him what kind of house she wanted?

but i didn't mean 'controlling' in a mean way, just that when sam said she couldn't tell him the details of her job, he ran a search on her and then followed her around to find out anyways. i can't ignore that when i factoring in his personality.

while i don't always agree with everyone's take on things, i *love* reading differing views, and it sometimes leads me to actually see something in a new light. and we're a nice bunch too, so that helps.

SHANAHAN: Yeah! Isn't it great?! (They start to walk towards the house, Sam gazing at it in amazement.) Remember our first night together? You described the house you always wanted?

oh.

i barely listened to what he said, i was too intent on watching sam's reaction.


would i be a bad shipper if i said i've only watched 'threads' twice in all these years? (and weeks apart)

i can't seem to get myself to 'watch' older shippy eps, until i see the last piece of the puzzle fit into the sam/jack love story. CONFIRMATION will be that piece. then i'll watch them *all*.

[melanell]

Wow. I went out for the day, and came back to find myself pages behind!

Darn. Missed the episode of the week voting (would have picked Paradise Lost/Grace)

Me, too. But that's okay.....it looks like i have a bunch of fic to go read, instead.

I find the shippy episodes inspire my fanfic writing I see the chemistry and I remember... and

I BELIEVE

LOL

CONFIRMATION OR BUST

i just finished reading a nice fic. it's not huge on shippiness, but it's sam and jack and there's nice ship there.

sam went to jack in 'lost city' to talk. and jack could have given her 'something' in 'affinity'. she tried, again, in 'threads', but things took a life of their own in that ep.

i wonder if sam felt jack didn't care anymore, *because* he didn't speak up?

just saying.

She was with Pete and engaged already and in Jack's eyes the door was definitely locked forever so why discuss them when it didn't exist. She needed to talk to him before going out to find Mr. Right

Pretty picture!

I'm with Sally in that I tend to be fairly equal in apportioning blame.

Jack did have opportunities to speak up about his feelings for her and show her directly that he still cared: he could have done so in Chimera when he realises she's started seeing someone and he could lose her, he could have done so in The Lost City when its fairly obvious he knows she's trying to tell him that she still cares about him and in Affinity he could have given her a straight answer instead of being all noble and letting her go. But he doesn't for a variety of reasons; because he's scared of losing her, because he does love her and wants her to be happy and assumes her seeing Pete is making her happy, because he feels it was inevitable that she would find someone else...but he could have asked her.

Jack, as far as I am concerned, takes his share of the responsibility for letting Sam think he didn't feel the same way anymore and for giving her the impression that he was happy to let her go.

However, Sam isn't blameless. She could have asked Jack outright long before Threads about how he felt. She could have insisted on a straight answer instead of vagueness and hinting. She could and should have stopped things with Pete and certainly never agreed to marry him knowing how she felt about Jack regardless of his feelings for her.

The problem is that the two of them really don't communicate well about their personal feelings for each other at all - partly because of the situation with the regs making any communication difficult and fraught with consequences, and partly because they assume too much about the other's beliefs and knowledge about their feelings, and their wants and desires. They both take responsibility for that.
