[i have some concerns]

[tellitslant]

So I am kind of watching Stargate SG-1: the Sam Carter remix. But I keep asking myself why.

Episode One: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, women can serve in the Air Force? And you're making us manly manly men put one on our team? Well. As long as she wears a short skirt.

Episode Two: Well, women can serve in this man's Air Force, but they're also the first to be taken hostage!

Episode Three: We discover that women are a liability on alien worlds! Sam gets kidnapped and sold (and kicks a remarkable amount of ass, but still).

Episode Four: Sex pollen! Men become aggressive and caveman-esque. Sam gets slutty and makes out with O'Neill.

Episode Five: Sam's ex-fiance goes insane and it is her responsibility to figure out what's gone wrong. (Though again she does get to be really awesome.)

Seriously why am I still watching this show? Man. The twin powers of sophia_gratia's ficcish persuasion and Amanda Tapping's Stupid Face are strong.

Yeah, I must say, so far I am really unimpressed with Jack. I was more or less prepared, going in, by sophia_gratia's awesome ranty post on SG-1 and Sam/Jack, and she has primed me for the Sam/Janet, so I'm watching with foreknowledge. But, man. That doesn't make it any less frustrating!

That was beautifully said and is totally frakking true. It's really the best way to follow the show to keep from going absolutely stark raving mad and throwing things at the screen over it. Don't get me wrong, I love Sam and I love Janet, and I even love some of the guys [post-S3 Daniel Jackson can DIAF], but if it weren't for the interaction between Sam and Janet, I'd have been done with that show a LOOOOT earlier than I was.
