I always felt that the conversation between Jacob and Sam the second time in Threads
Spoiler:
was quite vague and totally unrealistic. If I was on my death bed and I truly wanted my daughter to be happy with Jack the person I knew she truly loved, I would have spelled everything out; the man was dying for pete sake, he didn't still have to talk in code. This was a father daughter relationship that supposedly did a 360 degree flip when Jacob received Sellmack; and yet both never crossed the line by mentioning Jack by name. Now granted some would say because others could have been watching or listening but Jacob could have whispered it. Couldn't you have seen Sams eyes when Jacob would have whispered I know you love Jack? Yes, I agree once thinking clearly Sam may have understood what Jacob was saying, but as her father knowing that she is about to loose me and just how confused and lost she is in her life, and most importantly how she wanted and needed my approval, I would have made it my last fatherly mission to be there for my daughter when she so badly needed someone to break through the facade she built up and simply talk.
