Oh, yeah. "He got me pregnant via unmentioned, offscreen IVF!" I just... I remember having absolutely no idea what to do with that. I mean, it's gotta win some kind of ludicrousness award.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

"Oh, and you inseminated me but we're not having teh sex, bcz yur gross OMG!"
Oh yeah. The travesty Chris "Head so far up his ass, what he's feeling in his throat is his nose" Carter t /Guarnere has done to the Scully characterization in his attempt to "please" (or to say nyah nyah at) both the shippers and noromos still leaves me seeing red.
I never saw Scully and Mulder as quite the same kind of trainwreck as Jack/Sam
Really, Sam/Jack should come across as fucked-up and anguished, if not more, than Scully/Mulder, but it kind of doesn't because SG as a show is not so much with the gratuitous angst. They are all so goddamned *sunny* most of the time, bless their hearts. Theoretically, S/J should be terribly train-wrecky, but we don't get to see it on screen because Jack's all, "Ahh, love that daren't speak its name... oooh, jello!", and Sam's all "Huh?" *oblivious*

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God bless jello.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I liked the fanwank that they had the sex that time in Mulder's apartment that she was over and they were all comfy watching TV on the couch.
I think that was the one after Michael McKean took over Mulder's body and made moves on Scully...and cleaned up his apartment, and bought a water bed.

I didn't like the need for fanwank, and that way overwhelmed any pleasure I could have taken from the canonisation of the pairing.

Well, and frankly I just don't see the characters having that sort of chemistry. It's like they forget they're supposed to be angsting over each other for seasons at a stretch. Jello, heh.
I'd also have bought it more if Jack hadn't turned into one of the three Stooges in the last few seasons. A little gravitas would not go amiss, but RDA is just leaping after the easy jokes most of the time now. ::shrugs:: I miss Jack circa season 4, when he had the grey (so HOTT) but hadn't gone goofy yet.

Chemistry I definitely see (RDA's pretty good with that, whenever he needs it, in a wistful fashion). I'm very glad they don't dwell, and I really like them ignoring it for stretches.

Well, no. The one with the comfy TV-watching is at the end of S7 ("Je Souhaite", I think?), more than a season after the body switch ("Dreamland") two-parter. There was also the episode in which Scully suddenly got a personality transplant and started believing all kinds of new agey mumbo-jumbo ("All Things") which has Scully falling asleep on the couch in Mulder's apartment. Man, I hate that episode, my enormous affection for GA notwithstanding.
I remember too much detail about the damn show. No wonder I don't have any room in my head for non-fannish stuff.

HA! So true. Was it greensilver who had the list of Ways SG-1 Characters End Relationships?
TEAL'C: You keel my woman! Now I keel you!
DANIEL: Dammit, Jack/Sam/Teal'c!
SAM: *single tear*
JACK: I'll call you. Really.
