Hey all!

Back from London...had a great time, but came down with a really bad viral infection

But I met Shelsfc, GateBee, Twisted_Angel and Somnium, and with their permission, I'll try posting some piccies later

I can totally sympathise with you sK...my son shared his virus with us and we've all been in bed for most of the week...went back to work today...feeling a heck of a lot better...hope yu're feeling better soon too!!

[jafacakes]

It certainly helped. Oh, the angst. I don't think I've ever written anything so depressing in my life. Maybe I should go to bed. Maybe....

Angst is good, but even better when there is a happy ending

[I'm Just Sayin']

Hi all - I need some fanfic recommendations....I like shippy ones that stick to canon, ones that have another plot going on besides S/J angst, and ones that are teen rated at the highest.

Here are some examples of ones I have enjoyed lately...Making the Attempt, Guarding the Gate, Aftershocks.

I've read a lot of Sally Reeve's stories lately and while I really like them I want to read some that really fit in to the established storyline.

If you like Sally Reeves' fics nd want to read ones that fit into SG1 Canon, you should read her novels (under Malcolm not Reeves)

pity they're not really shippy

I'm not actually sure about any fics recs I can give you, because I normally don't take canon into account when reading fics...I just make sure the characters are in character

sorry I'm rambling...blame the meds

Hey everyone. First post in this thread LOL I sort of lurk most of the time.

I'm a Sam/Jack fan - not nearly as intensely as most of you but a supporter in the sense that I see it and I think they play off each other very well. Anway, I just wanted to post my two cents on the Sam/Jack relationship.

I'm glad they haven't done anything to violate the regs. My dad was military and I have friends that are military and I understand that dedication to the service. The reality for us fans of this relationship is that Jack has to retire or Sam has to retire. I'm voting for Jack LOL. If we could get RDA to come back as a regular, I would say have him retire and come back in a civilian capacity to the SGC. It's not uncommon for officers who have certain skills to retire and then lend those skills to the military to do things such as training. My father, for example, was a pilot. He retired and now trains young military pilots how to fly. As for the consequences for the actions of having a relationship in the military - they don't really jump straight to court martial - that's sort of a last resort. The consequences are usually counseling, reprimand, unfavorable information file (usually a black mark on their record which can do some harm to their career), removal from their position, reassignment, demotion, and so forth. As the military puts it, counseling is most often successful in ending "unprofessional" relationships. As for bending the regs, the military is very hard-nosed and unfortunately for our Sam/Jack, it's THEM we should be annoyed at. When you join the military you sacrifice freedoms. If you want them back, you leave. In case you were wondering where I got my info http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/pubfi...afi36-2909.pdf

This ultimately means that they can't be in a relationship even now because of the regs.

So I vote we start a JACK RETIRE...again campaign LOL

[AmberLM]

Ok no offence. but you guys know that this cant happen. its a federal offence in the eyes of the US military!

There are numerous ways around *THAT* particular problem, LM!

[AmberLM]

WOW! youve convinced me! I never knew about that! i have got to see that episode! I was wrong to question you people.

I guess im now a sam and jack shipper...

OMG we've finally found a family member who hasn't watched 'D&C'!!!! You really need to! Glad to see we've converted another Stargate fan to our side lol!

[RepliCartertje]

Here are my thoughts on tonight's episode. Major spoilers ahead and its very long.

Spoiler:

Opening preview was Jack!!!! There was the scene from LC1 where he got his download from the repository. ** My daughter and I squeeed until hubby shut us up.** Ba'al (or a Ba'al clone) crashed his ship beside the mountain and allowed himself to be taken prisoner. He wanted to make a deal and would only speak with SG1. He claimed Merlin's weapon was on one of the planets whose address Jack got in the repository. He offered to help them find the weapon if they got rid of all the other Ba'als for him. (Of course, he had transponders in each one and the means to track them.) Landry authorized the mission but had them bring back the Ba'als alive. There was a conversation between Landry and Cameron about Vala and whether or not Cam could control her well enough for the mission. Cam told Landry he didn't control any of them, since he and Sam were the same rank and the rest of the team weren't military. (Evidentally, SG1 no longer has a leader. That could get interesting!) There were some scenes of the team capturing Ba'als, lots of Ba'al jokes, and the real fun began. Agent Barrett was at the SGC waiting to take the Ba'als to the NID. There was a very ugly scene between him and Sam in the commissary where he told her they had unresolved issues (what?!?), and while he didn't have clearance to interogate the Ba'als, he went in any way (with his weapon). He was overpowered by Ba'al, and the Ba'al's took over a large section of the base. They captured several hostages including Sam, who they tricked into downloading the addresses from the ancient repository by threatening to kill the hostages (starting with Barrett). **This scene bugged me. Ba'al wanted her to do the download, and she told him to go ahead and kill her instead. He made the threat against Barrett, and she did the download. I wish the threat would have been against a different hostage, because some people (non shippers) might think she had feelings for him. Personally, I think she just wasn't willing to sacrifice anyone's life but her own.** Cam, Teal'c, and Vala each led teams of marines into the contained section, while the scientists prepared to send a go'uld poison into the area. The Ba'als got their downloaded disk and made their escape via beaming technology during the fire fight. Agent Barrett was taken into custody, because he had been hypnotized into participating in Ba'al's plot. Sam felt guilty for the download (which she had managed to stall for as long as possible), but General Landry told her she had done the right thing. There was no Daniel in tonight's episode, but he did get a mention.

I liked tonight's episode. Last week was better IMO, but this was still good.

Spoiler:

I thought Sam was slightly out of character during the hostage scene, but it wasn't bad. I also wandered why Vala got to lead a team of Marines, but it didn't ruin anything for me.

Thank you so much for your insights and the summary of the ep!!! I really enjoyed readin it and it makes like I have seen the ep. As for what I have been reading

Spoiler:

It looks like again they don't do a thing with the ship!! Like it doesn't excist. I mean they really are testing our patient. I just hope that they will finally get it that we do want our ship. RIGHT NOW. I mean I know I am most of the time optimistic but they did have the oppurtunity to give us a little hint about the ship and they didn't!!! So now I am mad and dissapointed. Even if I haven't seen the ep yet!

[Nolamom]
