What the heck are TPTB doing to this show? Ses, once again I totally agree with you Sam can mention Barrett but make sure she doesn't say....you know....Jack, what is with that? Do you know what bothers me, okay since you asked, Sam is sitting in Jacks cabin and there was still nothing, no holding a picture of him and no sense of missing him (and I don't blame Sam, I blame TPTB). What, Jack will make his appearance in 200 and then nothing until the next appearance and then back to nothing? If TPTB really cared about the shippers they would have at least set something up this week, afterall they were in the mans cabin, where Sam was at least thinking of Jack showing signs that she missed him, but no, nadda, nothing! And still no confirmation as to what Jack is doing in Washington, I guess TPTB are looking for a title that will keep the regs in place.

I can't believe I actually LIKED this episode. Maybe it's because all the other episodes have been so atrocious that this one seemed like a breath of fresh air. Of course, the fresh air wasn't the best it could be, but I even watched the second showing. [WARNING: Mitchell rant] I have come to appreciate the humor Vala brings, but Mitchell is a drain on my patience. Even though I loved the fact he knows now his only job is to keep SG-1 together, his smart-a$$ remarks and failure to be a believable hero irk me. Get rid of Mitchell, keep Vala, and put Sam in charge! That works for me. [/rant] Sam in charge was FANTABULOUS!! 
What a dramatic difference between "Sam in charge" and "Mitchell in charge". I hope AT keeps pushing for Sam to take more leadership. Did I mention that Sam should be in charge??
To the lack of the J-word... I have come to acceptance that SG-1 is not real
and, therefore, I can't expect the characters to act like real people. In real life, Jack would be mentioned all the time. The writers see that stuff as fluff. They are writing for TV with a limited amount of time. Could they throw a word here and there for our beloved character and ship? Yep. But not without a purpose. S9 "Ex Deu Machina"
If Jack or Ship doesn't serve the PTB's purpose, it ain't happening. Can we say ratings, baby??
I'm kinda glad Sam wasn't all wistful over Jack. One, Being in charge is better character development. Two, it means she sees him all the time. Especially with the beaming technology.
I didn't catch the poker reference. I heard the "royal marriage", but I thought it was poker talk, rather odd poker talk.
I like the shippy references better!

The "not exactly" came because PTB wanted to end the Sam/Barrett "thingy" and were able to give the shippers a bone in the process. A miniscule, meat-less, marrow-dry bone at that! It was just enough to keep shippers from dying.

i also agree that the "bonding" felt forced in this ep. the original sg-1 always felt so natural, NEVER forced. they just got along so easily and all had such amazing chemistry. however i feel the new sg-1 just doesnt have that, at least not yet. however keeping a positive attitude and cant wait for Friday!!
