Getting Sam and Jack together might be great for the fans, but it would seriously break a military taboo, which is why Jack kissed her after resigning during the time loop. If he did that beforehand while being her commanding officer, he'd be in front of a court martial so fast, both their heads would spin. I'm not certain that even if they weren't on the same team that such a union would be permitted under UCMJ since there is such as disparity in their ranks. On a show like Jag, that would be permitted since the two leads are of the same rank (Mac is a Lt. Colonel and Harm is a Commander) even though they work together because neither reports to the other.

So I doubt officially getting them together is in the cards. I think since Shaare/Amaunet (sp?) is gone, she'd make a good match for Daniel. Both are eggheads, able to talk geek for hours while Jack stands around with that baffled look on his face. I think that'd be great, especially since Daniel is a civilian. The UCMJ wouldn't forbid that.

Sounds like "Wormhole X-Treme!" (has to do with the 100th ep )

I agree with the Jack/Sam romance. Just enough of a tease, but never getting them together. I loved that time warp ep, especially at the end when Daniel asked Jack if he was tempted to do anything he normally wouldn't, and Jack just looked at Sam and grinned. And the not-getting-together isn't because of this plot line, or that character, but rather because of their jobs, so you're not frustrated (clone arc).

Oh, I think the majority of fans already know that they won't get together in an actual relationship until the end of the show, at least. If ever. The problems you cite, Roger, were why Jack had to hand his resignation to Hammond two seconds before grabbing Sam for that kiss in the time warp episode, after all. So the problems inherent in their career structure have always been at the forefront of the plots.

Still, closer can mean a variety of things and leave a lot of options open. We hope. <G>

I think you're right, Pam, in that this is a show that likes to pride itself on attention to detail, which is always a good thing. I do know that that was why Sam was given a haircut somewhere around...erm...well at some point anyway. <G> S5 maybe? The previous season it had been very stylish, but much longer, and they knew it would never get past military rules in RL, so they cut it. So they definitely do work at trying to get as many of the little details right, barring dramatic licence. Sometimes wish they didn't as I really liked that floppy cut and think the new one is much too severe. Still...needs must, I guess.

LabRat (who is really starting to look forward to S7 now... <g>)

Wow, go away for one day and miss all the talk about one of my favorite shows, typical. lol. I, personaly, am an avid Sam/Daniel shipper. I was far too glad when I read Roger's response stating they'd be god. In fact, I jumped, whooped, and almost burst into an embarassing dance. I mean come on, they're so close, they even finish each others sentences. lol, sorry. I've been on a shipper high ever since Daniel asked Sam if there was ever anything between them on the season 7 premiere. It made me happy, although the writters were prob just teasing me.

OH! OH! OH! OH! /me violently waves hand.
Hubby and I are avid Stargate fans. (Saw the movie, too and read the novels.) But we're in the states, so we don't count as European fans. I was ecstatic to see SG-1 on the cover of TV Guide! We also catch the other season reruns on Sci-Fi or UPN or Fox whenever they are on. There are some episodes we've missed in spite of all our efforts. It was originally on Showtime here and for some reason the tapes didn't always come out watchable. (We have cable, but everything comes through the satellite dish to the provider and sometimes it's botched up.)
We've pretty well caught up and are loving season 7. And there will be a season 8.

Don't worry, you'll love it. Season 5 and 6 got a little humdrum for us, too. Although there were some standout episodes even then.
Artemis - exiting humming the Stargate theme.

Rivka - You're watching season 5.

Thanks, Artemis! (And Pam, who was able to match titles to my bizarre ep summaries in IRC. )

Certainly looks as though they're starting off on the right track, Artemis. Will look forward to that one.

LabRat (who has suddenly had an awful thought...SKY has usually started showing a season by this point through its US run. I hope to goodness they are going to show it!)

If it helps, Labby, we've only seen the first eight episodes...

I like having my kids in year-round school, but I swear I'll never get used to year-round tv seasons. What sort of loser show opens in June??

Oh, btw, in case you guys haven't seen this -- there is an *awesome* Stargate reference website called Gateworld . They've got pictures and at least a short summary of every episode; most are discussed in much more detail. Plus all the spoilers, news, etc, they can get hold of.

PJ

Oh, have you? I'd thought you were much further in than that. I mailed SKY earlier anyway, but that could mean it will turn up any day now. Here's hoping!

Gateworld is an excellent site - it's the one I've used as a reference point for a while now.

LabRat

You want SG1 links, just ask me - I've got more SG1 links than any other category in my Favourites folder! Gateworld is great, and there are a bunch other ones too. Just email me privately if you want a reference

Melisma (seriously going to bed now, here under her Rock)

Thanks, Mel! Actually, I was hoping to find a good SG-1 fanfic site... I think I ran across one a year or so ago, but haven't got a clue as to the URL. Anyone have recommendations?

PJ

the best stargate fiction site is heliopolis.

http://www.sg1-heliopolis.com

Thanks!

PJ

Yeah, thanks, Skitz! I've been racking my brain all day trying to remember the name of that darned site. <g> It used to be the one I had bookmarked until I lost interest and I remembered it as being pretty good.

LabRat

Well, the front page of it looks impressive, and they have an incredibly detailed search page, but there's still the problem of sorting out the good stuff from the crap. And tonight, I seemed to only find the crap <g> It's moments like these when I have the greatest appreciation for our General Editors.

PJ

Pam, perhaps you could give me a definition of what you consider 'good'. - S/J or other pairs, certain types of fic like action, or romance, or other kinds? I've prolly got a link for it or you could write me privately... I don't always check this board every day...

Melisma (diving back under her Rock to get ready for class)

I too am a stargate fan and went to a sci-fi convention a couple weeks ago where Christopher Judge as Teal'c was a last-minute guest. It was weird to watch him on the stage laughing and joking about his experiences from the show. I remember someone(a male) asking him a question "How big---excuse me, how tall are you?", all the women from the audience laughed and Christopher almost fell off the stool laughing so hard!

Anyway, I read most of stargate fanfiction out on the net. Sadly, there are very few stories worth mentioning and 95 percent are just crap. I know that's hard to believe but it's true. Ironically, the stories that stand out foremost in my mind are crossovers with stargate and other shows. You'll be happy to know there is a Stargate/Smallville fic and yes, the story is completed! Here is the link:
http://pub97.ezboard.com/fkryptonsitefrm7.showMessage?topicID=1255.topic

Also there is another crossover gem(highlander/stargate), it's one of the best stories I ever read. It really captures stargate's essence of SG-1's characters and a good place for the newcomer to understand either of those shows. Here is the link and the author's name is Ecolea, titled "The Changing of the Guard". I have to warn you it is really long and promise you won't be disappointed!

If there are any stories you would recommend, let us know!

You like crossovers, huh? Have you read any of the ones with BtVS? The Scarab is really good. I hate the pairings, but for some reason I just realy like the story. If you want recommendations I'd have to know more about what you like. Length, genre, pairing, rating, etc.

Yes, I remember "The Scarab" a while ago and thought it was good. I'm not into BTVS much but read them from time to time. My taste in shows pretty much varies and usually enjoy long fics over 150kb such as action or romantic genres. It's hard to say because sometimes I find myself enjoying short fics if it's related to comedy. "GGG" and "Mister December" would be perfect examples of that. Does that make sense? Thanks for letting me know anyway!

By the way, I'm also a Farscape fan. I am reading stargate/farscape/Battlestar Galactica crossover at fanfiction.net titled "The Lost Warrior". It's not finished yet but shaping up to be a really good story!

Kory

What do I consider good? Well, stories where all the words are spelled right is a good start
