'Touched'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
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.
...sekrit boyfriend Cameron Bancroft...
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.
Speranza's got a new due South F/K story on her site.
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.
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.

*blink*
Huh.
You know, I'd never looked at them that way before, but that... could work. Interesting comparison.
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.
But I don't think Sam's Wash would have the same surety (he's jealous, but not honestly of the love, just the attention, I think) that Zoe's Wash does.
"Take me, sir. Take me hard." might just play out wrong.
Huh.
Okay, what I think I'm saying is that Mal and Zoe don't have unresolved sexual tension. Sam may very well meet and fall for someone and marry them and all that ... but I think it'd take a large man indeed to see her and Jack in crisis and not feel mega "War Stories."
