- 10:03 @chanceofrainne Um, some people mourn in strange ways...? #
- 10:06 I need to get over my irrational fear of fresh eggs. Just because there's still chicken shit on them doesn't make them bad, right? #
- 10:54 @sockherder Logically, I know that. That's what makes it an irrational fear. #
- 10:55 Clearly I need more sleep; my fingers keep getting confused. #
- 10:57 @sockherder :P Mom's at work. I keep talking myself out of having eggs, instead. #
- 11:33 Sometimes I really hate people. And sometimes I don't even have a mature, legitimate reason for it. #
- 12:08 @jackluvsdaniel I'm glad it's not just me, actually. #
- 12:11 Burning and ripping Enter the Haggis for sockherder which I meant to do weeks ago. Oops. #
- 12:16 @jackluvsdaniel There is. I don't feel like such a horrible person if I'm not the only person who feels that way. #
- 14:40 Save me from obnoxious idiots!!! #
- 14:48 @Jenarra I can deal with them in their natural habitat, but not when they come into mine and are aggressively stupid at me. #
- 14:53 @Jenarra It's hard to be the bigger person, too, because there's no polite way to point and laugh. #
- 15:00 @Jenarra My exes tend to be weasels who pretend I stopped existing, so I will, luckily, never have to deal with that. #
- 16:21 Panera's internet isn't letting me on! #
- 16:40 Baby goats! #
- 19:37 I just got spam with the subject "Meet Miley Cyrus in real person!" The body read, "She will be crying for you to not stop!" Ew. #
- 19:59 A commercial asks, "What if whales had the ocean to themselves?" My response? "They'd starve to death." #
- 21:58 @chanceofrainne PROBBLE?! WTF does that even MEAN? #
- 22:55 I freak out when people friend me on LJ and I feel like I should recognize their name but can't figure out why. #
Originally published at Their Love Is So Canon!. Please leave any comments there.
When two single women both bond with and go on to participate in co-parenting a child, it’s a great basis for speculation on a deeper relationship. Such is the beginning of the great chemistry between Stargate SG-1’s Captain Sam Carter and Doctor Janet Fraiser. An orphaned alien girl is brought to Earth, the sole survivor of a plague implanted with a Goa’uld bond, and both women are more or less instantly invested in her welfare. (Singularity, 01.14)
While it is ultimately Janet who adopts the girl, Cassie, and for several seasons she is only mentioned and not shown, mention is made later about Sam’s standing weekend plans with her in an episode which also features an intimate family birthday celebration consisting of Sam, Janet and Cassie. (Rite of Passage, 05.06)
The heart of Sam/Janet, however, is not dependent on Cassie’s presence in their lives. They first began to show the signs of a great potential pairing when the SGC was overtaken by the Goa’uld Hathor (incidentally, the episode prior to Cassie’s arrival) and all the men on base were taken in by her considerable charms, leaving it up to the duo to defeat the powerful ‘goddess’ with the help of the few other women present. (Hathor, 01.13)
In almost every scene they share, there is an underlying current of connection, if not sexual tension, showing two women who clearly care a great deal about each other. When Janet meets her fate saving a soon-to-be-first-time-dad offworld, Sam is utterly (and appropriately) wrecked. (Heroes pt 2, 07.18)
So for those of you who were wondering “are they or aren’t they?!” like I was, you can relax. You weren’t imagining it. Sam/Janet is totally canon.
Me-oww. 'Nuff said.
