[SamO'Neill]

The O´Neills?? LOL I should be playing Sims, sounds great!

I know! Now I want a Sims game to make an O'Neill family!

And of course, their friends Janet, Daniel and Teal'c!

The only problem is that you can't make the adults have grey hair until they become elders so Jack has brown hair. But there are loads of new cool things on the Sims 2 like genius baby milk (makes Sim kids into Einstein! lol)

Congrats on 100 posts, SamJackShipLover!

Goodness, you all make me want to go buy a copy of the Sims! Then I'd probably spend all my time on there instead of talking to all of you lovely people!

Oh! And then Jack/Sam and Daniel/Janet's kids could get married!

Hmmmm... now back to reading Karibou's work...

Night!

How are you coming your fanfic?

[SamJackShipLover]

Hmmmm... now back to reading Karibou's work...

Have you finished Reap What Is Sown? I did, thank god for happy endings
It was a great story, made me laugh and cry And there´s a prequel and a sequel, so much more nice reading to do

It all comes down to money. UST makes money, RST does not! The producers/writers know that and thus it will be in the year 2110 when the 'franchise' stops making money that they'll finally let our ship come sailing in......

'oy'

See, I think that is a fallacy that TPTB believe to be true so it becomes a self-fulfilling reality. I think the REAL truth is that today's writers either don't have the ability, the creativity, the education or the backbone to write a relationship from UST to RST in a long-term series. It requires an author to think outside the box. It's not easy, but it can be done.

It's kinda like marriage. Most people are interested in the "chase"; but when it comes to the "marriage", people don't know how to keep the fires burning. It's interesting to know that if a series starts out with a couple already being a couple, there doesn't seem to be a problem keeping the ship going such as MacMillan & Wife.

The point is that the relationship should be in the background of the true story. The relationship shouldn't be the main story. That is a problem SG-1 is having. When the writers want to make a "shippy" episode, they completely focus on it instead of letting the storyline play out over several episodes in the background. Sam and Jack's relationship doesn't need to be the focus; it is just a part of the characters. JMHO and a long one at that.

I finished the original. Now working on the prequel, THEN, the sequel...

I love having a bunch of good fanfiction to read!

Exactly!

What comes to mind is WoO and BtS. In both, the ship was addressed, but was by NO MEANS the focal of the ep. And, still as shippers, we adore those episodes.

I mean, don't we live for all the small things, such as the scenes in 'Sacrifices', 'Heros', 'Metamorphis', 'Paradise Lost' and others?

And my angst self wants to mention 'Entity'.

Here's a question in response to the "other ships" discussion, from a different angle.
Since we're all here, I'll grant that we must have the predisposition to be shippers. In spite of that fact, what shows were you totally into where there was *no* ship in which you could invest yourself, but there was an intense friendship that kept your attention. (No slash, please!)

I had these. I loved Starsky & Hutch and The Big Valley. I also loved the duality of the Spock/McCoy friendship - it's always been much more fascinating to me than anything involving Kirk. Simon & Simon was great for that, too.
On my current "ship" shows, there are friendships like this, too. Temperence and Angela on Bones, Teal'c and Jonas on SG, (no, no Daniel & Jack - I don't buy into that), and Skinner had a fatherly relationship with both Mulder and Scully that I adored. (I guess I always saw Skinner and Hammond as equals - I believed both guys *knew* that their people belonged together, but couldn't really take an active position to *get* them together. LOL)

Wow…that’s a really good question. There are certainly shows that I ship for in which there are really strong friendships that also keep me invested. Daniel & Jack is the first relationship that really drew me into SG. Tom & Harry in Voyager, Hawkeye & BJ (and to an extent, Charles) on MASH, Turk & JD on Scrubs, JD & Dr Cox on Scrubs, and now that you mention it, I’d probably put Teal’c & Jonas in there too.
The only show I can think of where there was a relationship that kept me hooked but there was no ship is Lister and Rimmer on Red Dwarf. I never shipped for Red Dwarf, but I always loved the relationship between those two.
Oh, I thought of another one! Jack & Will in Will & Grace. I love their friendship so much, I wish they showed it seriously a bit more. (although I’m not sure it quite counts as an answer to your question, cos I kinda slashed for them till Vince came on the scene…oh hey, that’s my one slash!!)

Hmmm.... they’re all male friendships. That’s interesting, I do tend to prefer seeing male friendships than female. Women can be so nasty to each other…I can’t think of any male/female friendships that I really like offhand. And the only female/female one I can think of is Sam & Janet. We did not see enough of that!
