I rewatched Chimera (ep 715)recently for the first time in yonks. One of the things that used to absolutely INFURIATE me about SG-1 at the time popped up - and annoyed me all over again - but I really can't remember if I posted much about this back in the day.
And it is this: Pete seems lovely, until he doesn't and goes all cop-stalker on Sam. He's a cop. I assume he comes into contact (or at least knows about) government agencies and undercover work and the very necessary secretive nature of being undercover or whatever. So when Sam says she can't tell him what she does he completely overreacts and turns in to the kind of person that you should probably run a mile from rather than continue a relationship with.
I think that's not a normal reaction. Sure you can be a bit miffed that someone won't tell you exactly what they do, but if it's secret, it's secret and trying to sneak around finding out what that is, is IMO so underhand it's a deal breaker and not a normal reaction. Because I'm a bit biased here, I asked Mr MC - he said "nope, it's not normal. If they can't tell you, they can't tell you. it's not like cheating or anything".
So, mighty GW members: what do you think? Overreaction or it's how you think someone should react?
[also: *waves to Forum* it's been a while! this isn't actually my original mod-account because I can't get into it. So this is my resurrected MC account - anyone remember me?]
