Sam Carter/Jack O'Neill Ship Appreciation Thread

[PengYn]

The episode that should be shown on Sky One tomorrow night is 'The Road Not Taken'.

I checked on Sky Plus tonight, and it said "The Shroud".

So now I'm not confused Ah well either way... looking forward to them.

Hi guys!

I have a question, well more an observation I guess. I don't know why, but the first few minutes of Singularity (you know the ep with Cassie) just popped into my head. They were talking about the black hole and the eclipse and Jack said the accurate term to Daniel's surprise. And then Sam said

Sam: "You didn't think the Colonel has a telescope on his roof just to look at his neighbors, did you?"

IIRC, Sam has only been once at Jack's at this point of the season, in Fire and Water, but she knew that he has a telescope on his roof... Weird...

Ok, I'll stop here before shipper mind takes over...

See i just saw those episodes...cus someone**don't say names** give me a thing for watching S1 again...

And only one time but Sam is smart and maybe they have already been on his roof on in the time when they weren't i nthe series...she has been at jacks place...and now my gutter shippy mind gets into the way to

[majorshrl]

Ok I've been thinking. Dangerous I know but it crossed my mind that if Sam or Jack had been played by any other actors we probably wouldn't have any ship. I don't think anybody else could have the same chemistry as Rick and Amanda do. I wonder if it took the writers by surprise. In COTG the spark is there immediately when they meet. Was it like that when Rick and Amanda met?

It must have been a bonus for them that the actors got on so well.

I agree with you, this set of actors is great together. They have indeed caused the ship to be this big. But I do think it must have shown in the prosess (sp?) of casting. It probably wasn't meant to be shippy, but it must have been obvious that the chemistry was there.

Unless TPTB were blind

Do you think Hammond would have looked the other way if Sam and Jack crossed the line ? I think so, they were essential to the programme, in fact i think he still would have kept them together on the team.

Spoiler:

Hammond did look the other way, when Jack tried to give him that "she's a valuable member of my team, sir" go-se. To me, it looked like Hammond was pretty much convinced they'd already crossed lines.

Yeah, they are:
Hammond was looking the other way for a long time, because the emotions themselves were against regs. Which is probably why few people ever get severely punished for fraternization that's not out-right abuse of position. That's why in D&C Jack admits his feelings, "I care about her a lot more than i'm supposed to" with such a sense of shame. He was already breaking the rules.... And his guilt in Entite, 'cause look what it led to.

Can they really regulate emotions like that? What are the actual AF regs when it comes to fraternization within the ranks?

*sits on Jack's lap* LOL! I'm so glad you delurked!

Me too! Thanks!

My husband will look over my shoulder, see me shipping then just and walk away in silence. (he's a shipper too, just not obsessed like me... us... )

My roommates really wouldn't understand my shipper obsession. I think they might think there's something wrong with me already...after spending a full 24 hours on the couch hooked up to the TV watching Season 9.
All of it.
In one sitting.

I was never in a band - absolutely no talent!!
However I absolutely love marching bands and if there are pipers - I'm in heaven.
I'm the crazy old lady on the parade side lines cheering.

Aww! We love those people! It's really hard to keep a straight face and play when you have a really enthusiastic audience. I think Santa Cruz band review tops my list of crazy bystanders though...*giggles*

I know in an older DVD special, I think it was on season 2 or 3, AT remarks that she was sortof stunned when she saw RDA for the first time after a haitus. She was blown away because she forgot how d*** handsome he is. That made me jealous.

How do you all like my new sig??? Jenn made it for me! Isn't it SHINY!?!

Gah you all just want me to go and watch all the shippy episodes again...I'm on to y'all not like you really have to twist my arm to much. I'll have to look at that again. though I have a feeling that Hammond is under the "don't ask don't tell policy" but knows they would never do anything physical while under the same line of command.

Very nice new siggy.

[SamO'Neill]

Well, given his expressed distaste for scientists and her intelligence and powers of observation, I'm sure she noticed the telescope, realized its significance and remembered it. I don't think it shows anything particularly shippy beyond her noticing and remembering little details about him... Because, I mean, she was curious, and he's her CO so the more she knows about him, the better they can get along.

Keep telling yourself that, hun.Don't get too excited. That was WIFE BAIT. Which I'm SURE Jack uses a LOT on Sam.

I'll explain that to you some time

When I'm older?

*SPLASH* into the gutter....

You don't have to spoiler stuff before S9... You'll get people's hopes up

Can they really regulate emotions like that? What are the actual AF regs when it comes to fraternization within the ranks?

No, they can't, technically. But it would be considered highly inappropriate to have those emotions, and the right thing to do would be to either hide them so completely no one would guess at them *or* change units. (Don't ask, don't tell as it were). Jack did neither, hence what happens in D&C and Entity is *his* fault, from his PoV. Of course, he's not exactly the kind of person who is hesitant to accept personal blame for stuff, either... 'Cause, of course, he can't really be blamed for the way he feels, for her knowing how he feels or for the simple fact that they are both needed in SG-1. But from the way he says "I'm supposed to" in D&C and his expressions in Entity, you know he blames himself even if no one else does.

Bottom-line, though, he is far more familiar with everyone on SG-1 than a proper military commander ought to be, but its sort of a special situation. Which is why, personally, I don't think Jack or Sam would have had big issues with consummating their relationship before he actually transferred once they'd decided they were going to do something and she was on leave/headed up in the Daedalus or whatever. I think being with her would have become his first priority. Part of me, to be honest, would like to think they did wait, but I just don't think I see that onscreen. As I've said, though, the important thing is that now

Spoiler:

they're so married

ah but my brother understands my obsession...like in dinner today they were talking..i wasn';t really paying attention...then suddenly my mother said something like fish...and then my brother said fishing...i immediatly looked up and squeed...yep i'm weird...and that's what my mother thought to...now she thinks her daughter is weird...but i'm a proud s/j shipper with obsession

[JenniferJF]

Wife Bait.

Basically, Jack intentionally puts on a TV show he doesn't like that Sam loves so she'll come sit down next to him on the sofa. This lets him play with her doohickey's while she's distracted and he's not, and also if he's really lucky she'll try to explain the show to him, which means he gets to play with Doohickey's and watch her mind spin all at the same time.

Which, for Jack O'Neill, is pretty darn perfect.
