On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

To now have a Daniel in Sam's body (NO PORN -- they're the verboten pairing)

Are not.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I could've watched an entire episode's worth of Random Crap Jack And Teal'c Do For Fun, actually.

Wrod. I love the expressions on their faces when they realize the whole "no consequences" bit. Plus, Teal'c had the most wonderful satisfied smirk after getting his revenge for the repeated door-in-the-face bit.

Have you seen his performance in Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love?

I'm actually fine with the way they handle the Jack-n-Sam thing. What makes me nervous is the constant fear that they might decide to really go down that path.

I feel fairly confident that their Tragic Love Will Never Be (Until The Finale). They've got an Air Force endorsement to contend with, for one thing. CO/2IC smoochies are a no-no.

The way things are with Sam and Jack right now, I could see them winding up with something similar to the relationship between Zoe and Mal. I get the feeling that having one of them wind up with someone else would end up taking a lot of confusion out of their relationship.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are not.

Is TOO. Please leave them alone. Any other member of SG1 can get with any other. Just not those two. It's not right.

Huh.

You know, I'd never looked at them that way before, but that... could work. Interesting comparison.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Tragic Love Will Never Be

The thing I like most about their relationship is that they didn't dwell on this all "Woe, woe is me!", like some middle-aged Romeo/Juliet or Buffy/Angel; they were grown-up folks with a lot heavier responsibilities than toward their own happiness. They weighed things in, they (reluctantly) acknowledged their feelings, there was no gnashing of teeth or rending of clothes, and they said, "well, it won't work; let's be sensible" then buried it way the hell down where it belonged. Even when it got dredged up (very infrequently) in later seasons, there was no moony-eyedness and virtually no pining. I dig that.

I don't know how I'd feel about Jack and Sam getting together at the end of the series. They don't have much in common, and at this point, I think they love each other more as friends and comrades-in-arms rather than as potential lovers.
