A Brief Two for My SG-1 Flisters

Do I spoiler cut for a show that's been off the air for almost 10 years? (Also, please scream with me over that thought.)

(1) For some reason I always remember that I greatly dislike "Divide and Conquer" and assume it's entirely because of what feels (to me) like some very forced Jack/Sam-iness. And I completely forget that it is also the episode in which Martouf dies. You'd think I'd remember an event like that, and yet it surprises me every time I watch it. Weird, right?

(2) I turned my DVD back on to sit down to watch another episode and realized "Window of Opportunity" is up. I of course reacted by saying, "Woo, it's WoO!" I'd blame it on the cold medicine, only that silliness is for sure just me.

1) Aaaaargh! That is what I hate so much about the shippy eps! Martouf has a long history with both SG-1 and Sam, but, Oh! Jack! overwhelms what should be a significant moment wrapping up Martouf's arc. Same with Threads—Jacob dies (!) but Jack/Kerry, Sam/Pete, Jack/Sam? is the big emotional question. Bleh, bleh, bleh! Totally tone deaf.

2) I ♥ your silliness. :D

AAAARGH. Yes. I love "Threads" but the whole issue around Sam's relationships is just... so tonally weird (especially since it was pretty much wrapped up in "Grace"). I'm glad they at least handled Daniel's and Janet's deaths better.

I don't think you need to give spoiler warnings for SG1. But I could be wrong. It would be interesting to see what others think.

People who discover the show, especially through fandom, probably know some of the high points and tropes already. I doubt anyone is just coming to the show as a blank slate. They are going off of recs from someone.

I like Divide and Conquer, but I'm good at putting any sort of Jack/Sam that I don't agree with in the background. And I an a diehard Jack/Daniel shipper, but did not and do not hate the Jack/Sam ship as much as some of my fellow slash fans. So that's just me.

Hi! Really enjoying your posts about your rewatch. I need to get back to it myself.
