Morior salutat
Huh? What does this mean? Is this, like "Last look before death" or something?
t /ignorant of all things Latin. Well, I think it's Latin but I could be mistaken there
I do love that look dearly. Plus, "Well, maybe it'll help Carter. Her brain is worth a lot more than mine." It's the rueful smile on his face during that last line that absolutely kills me. It's one of my favorite J/S bits ever, despite the fact I'm not too fond of the actual Zay'tac-induced confessions that come later.
The penultimate scene in Solitudes (which is not really all that shippy), with Jack telling the story of his escape from the Iraqui prison and later on, Sam saying, "I'm here, Jack. You can sleep now." to the unconscious Jack is still my top J/S moment in the series, I think. Well, that or the cabin scene in 2010, except Sam's looped dialogue there drives me nuts.
ETA: Yeah, Katie. Dude! With the taunting! Eeevil.
Also: Poor Martouf.
MoriorMorituri te salutat, in my pidgin latin, means "He who is about to die (willingly) salutes you"
Once is cute, twice is an issue. And even cuter.
I haven't seen Solitudes twice. I thought I'd seen everything before this season twice. Now I need to find out when it's on.
The 2010 exchange is good too -- I watch pretty much the entire thing on my "good bits rewatch." I love watching those guys die.
Yeah, the confession itself is a bit clunky. But the devotion they all have to each other, and the privation in its face -- makes me weak.
I noticed in "Divide & Conquer" that Sam looms over Dr. Fraiser. How cute. Poor Janet.
Also ... poor Martouf.

I think that's why D&C works for me - because they're all involved. A lot of the time, the J/S ends up off in a room somewhere, and while I wouldn't mind that if I found JackandSam interesting, I just... don't. So I'm forever thinking "oh, god, with the Romance again? Go away! Shoo!" Whereas in D&C it's intertwined with other stuff, and other relationships.

Poor Martouf.
I blame Te's "Joe Dick: Seekrit Woobie" icon for that.
I love Joe Dick so much.
Whoa. Who said only fanfic authors put Lex in a loin cloth, dog collar, and a gag?
I love my dead gay bondage fun comics!
takes a moment to imagine MR as Lex in that scene
realises Lionel is then the one with the leash
cries for woobie
Well, I'm off for a few days and come back to find everybody's Woobie crazy.
I'm telling Chewie.
Big Stargate ep tonight, there should be a parade.

Oof. You all are killing me. That, plus the "Jack O'Neill moments," plus Martouf's "Samantha ..." (awww, Martouf). Sigh. I even liked the revelatory bits by J/S at the end. Said it before, say it again, I'm a sap. But not all that shippy. It's the team.

And poems and songs.
OK, I have to ask. Why is G'Kar (from Babylon 5) on TheWoobie list? I've only watched B5 sporadically, but isn't G'Kar like, the epitome of dignified WarriorDude/WarriorPoet with a touch of "You killed my father! Prepare to die!"? I mean, he'd probably either look at you disdainfully or spit in your eye if you offered him comfort sex.
Also, from the Gateworld: the info about the last member of the Atlantis team, who's, like a female version of Teal'c. Not too much with the originality, the PTB of the show. I liked the actress who played Dr. Weir in the LC1--does anyone know why she was replaced?
Skimming down the page, I found the actor bio section, and realized why the dude who plays the lead looked so frickin' familiar. He was in some S3 Dawson's Creek eps, playing the skeevy sailor who tried to rape Jen. Oy.
