Something that's been bothering me...
I finally realized what it is about all of the Sam gets captured on Earth and locked up by random attacker/stalker/whatever fic. Almost all of them have the moment where she knocks the person down and takes off... And then they recapture her.
Sam is a trained soldier. She's had eight years of experience fighting for her life. She isn't just going to knock them down and take off, especially if she has no idea where she is, or what the situation is.
Instead, she's going to knock them over, kick them a few times, tie them up, and take any and all available weapons and identification that she can.
AND THEN she's going to carefully secure the area, and take off.
If they have a gun? She will have it, and use it if need be.
What she will NOT do is panic, knock the person over, and run only to get recaptured two seconds later because the person is still conscious and free.
*seethes*
I go back to bed now.

Yeah, a play by play writer-director analysis of the shippy episodes would be lovely. I was watching Death Knell with the Amanda Tapping and Peter DeLuise commentary and time and time again it's proven to me that Peter *obsesses* over AT and AT's kinda squicked by it, cuz sometimes he really really really crosses the line. But she's *obviously* a woman in a man's show and holds her own SO FREAKIN WELL (so much better than Miranda Otto, Liv Tyler and Cate Blanchett in their stories of the "we're in the boy scouts! woe is us and our vaginas!"). Still, it's freakish.
And Scully w/o Mulder in seasons 8&9 were just PAINFUL as she was written to be tearful and bitchy without him glued to her side. Gah.
(:triumpant:)

And the AT love makes sense, because they're all like, "And we can give Amanda anything to say, and she can say it." And she has been technobabbling for 8 years. And she also did not kill them for the Stupid Uber Feminism of the first three/four episodes, either.
But, yes. PdL is a little.. odd.
RCC is such a subtle shipper, at times, I think. *considers*
And Martin Wood is one, too. *loves him so*
Damien Kindler, surprisingly, seems to be kind of one, too.
And we won't get into CJ, because he totally is. YOU KNOW he told them for Changeling, "And you two are sleeping together."
