Meep.

So, um...anyone seen this pic from "Affinity"?

*wibble*

Tell me this is not what I think it is. Please. Even if it is what I think it is. Because eek.

(Oh! Did I just figure out what the "meow boom" referred to on various LJs was? OMG...there are some days I'm really glad I don't belong to any Stargate lists or boards, with the exception of SJFic. I can only imagine the kerfluffle happening...)

If I were here, and I agreed to a second engagement that didn't result ina wedding, I would probably swear off men altogehter and hole myself up in a lab, never to be seen again. But that's just me. Still, I hope it doesn't happen. I just don't see her accepting it in the first place, though; I've said this before somewhere, but being in such a serious relationship with Pete would mean that, even though he does know about the SGC, she'd have to compartmentalize her life to a level I just can't see her doing. I envision serious marriage problems after she pulls a few all-week all-nighters in her lab, or gets stuck off-world, or something, because dude, Pete? Police officer. He wouldn't be happy about the off-world thing at all, unless I totally read him wrong in "Chimera." And I think Sam is smart enough to realize all of that, so I think she would tell him that it won't work. (Also, we've had one episode with Pete, and, like, two other references to him. From a plot sense, it seems awkward to make it that deep of a relationship after seeing so little of him, at least it does to me.)

But I'm with you on the tantrums if she does accept.

I'm agreeing with almost everything you're saying, but at the same time I can't help but remember JAG. Brumby wasn't right for Mac, and she got engaged to him too soon, but she realised she'd done the wrong thing and called it off.

I don't think Sam'll actually marry him, but it wouldn't surprise me if she said yes. She's had a really shitty time, and the one person she wants to comfort her and make things better would get court martialled if he did. Pete's there, he cares about her, and compared to the way she's been having to hold her feelings about Jack inside as best she can, even if her feelings for Pete aren't nearly as strong it must feel good to just be allowed to let them out there.

I think she knows she doesn't love him, but at this point she's possibly just so sick of being on her own that she's going Mac's route of, "Well, he's a good guy, he loves me, and I'm sure my feelings'll grow in time".

There's something to be said for being an independent woman, who doesn't need a man, but then there's experiencing intense loneliness, and just wishing you had some of what all the happy people seem to have.

Oh God, I'm talking myself into believing she'll say yes.

Yeah, but crucial difference: SG-1 writers aren't manipulative bastards. Usually. ;) But yes, I see what you're saying.

Auuugghhh! Such a bad way to start a marriage! But y'know, I can sort of see Sam thinking that. In her crazier moments.

No! Come back into the liiiiiiight!
