Threads... thoughts and such
I've only seen the Clips of Significance, so I can't comment on the overall plot...

A couple of things on Threads...
1. To everyone who keeps going on about Sam's reaction to Pete's way of dealing with her breaking up with him. Do any of you remember who the last man she broke up with was? Yes. That would be Jonas "I Am God" Hansen. You can bet your fuck-me-boots the man's reaction was a LOT nastier. He probably said horrible things to her, ranted, and raved. In comparison, Pete's almost-calm was probably a shock.
And maybe a disappointment, too. Perhaps Sam thought it would hurt them both more. That there should BE something there to show it was a mistake--her breaking it off.
2. Yes. Sam went directly from looking at the house with Pete to Jack's. Because the whole "I bought a house for you and didn't consult you! Even though we apparently had a detailed house conversation the first time we fucked! I had a tape recorder or I wouldn't remember it..." unsettled her, and she needed some sort of conversation with someone not Pete to deal with it. As there was no Daniel OR Teal'c, she went to Jack.
3. Kerry probably was listening from the kitchen, or wherever she was inside Jack's. Enough to figure out exactly what Sam was driving at. Kerry didn't strike me as stupid, the few times I saw her. Plus, she may have seen them interact before. And you can BET the gossip mill probably still talks about them, sometimes. (Hell, she might have gotten a friendly warning from someone about Jack being 'unavailable', for all we know)
4. Speaking of Kerry, omg! Jack TOTALLY had the drugged-out, blissed look of "I had LOTS of sex last night" when Carter called him. That was not the reaction of a man who was happy to leave his bed, either.
5. I didn't hate Kerry. Huh. I still want to know why Jack was dating a woman young enough to be his grandchild, though.
6. I kind of feel sorry for Pete. Even though I don't like him (watch this space, my rabid shipperness may swing back the other way later).
7. Although, considering the conversation with Jacob, wtf do Sam and Pete TALK about? I mean, seriously. He couldn't even talk to her dad! I just... Never saw them as having much in common, and that awkward little scene drove it home worse.
8. Sam and Jack don't need to talk. Sex is fine.
9. Alas poor Jacob, your plot-device was known well. Although telling Sam to chase Jack was amusing.
10. The Oma Desala stuff. OMG! I so fucking called this bitch! Daniel and SG-1 have been her pawns since day one because SHE FUCKED UP. I now expect her and Merlin to have a contest to see who can manipulate people to their bidding better. Merlin will win, even though Roma smashed his chess set. Sigh. Roma, come deal with this Oma bitch, please...
... possibly more later.

Re: Pete
And she was trying to go back to sleep. Or feeling him up. I mean, hey, you've got a sleepy, half-naked Jack in bed, talking to some Colonel Carter. What do YOU do? Sleep on it, or try to distract him? ;)
