SG-1 Shipper Rewatch
So we started a SG-1 Shipper (Sam/Jack) Rewatch on the Gateworld Sam/Jack Discussion forum a little over a month ago and I figured I'd post the reviews for each episode. A few of them are mine, but they have each been written by a different Sam/Jack fan :D

Full Summary
Summary
A year after the first mission to Abydos, Earth's Stargate activates on its own. An enemy named Apophis and his loyal Jaffa kidnap a member of the personnel from Cheyenne Mountain. While a team led by Colonel Jack O'Neill investigates, they reunite with Dr. Daniel Jackson on Abydos, where soon Apophis returns and kidnaps Skaara and Sha're (Jackson's wife). The team track Apophis to Chulak to rescue their missing comrades.
Favourite Scene
It is really hard for me to pick a favourite scene, I have watched this episode several times now and each time i pick up on new things, and there is so much of it I enjoy. One of my favourite things about this episode though is right at the end when you have all four original members of SG-1 stood on the gate ramp together, this bit just makes me smile as it is the beginning of so many adventures we are going to share with this team.
Favourite Dialogue
So many classic lines, but i think this has got to be my favourite
O'Neill: Oh, here we go. Another scientist. General, please.
Carter: Theoretical astrophysicist.
O'Neill: Which means?
Hammond: Which means she's smarter than you are, Colonel.
but of course there are many others i love. I love the whole scene and dialogue when Sam comes into the briefing room for the first time, I love the piece on Abydos with the macgyver comment, and of course the conversations between Sam and Daniel
General Discussion
What can we say? The first time I watched this episode I was not blown away. The film had not done much for me at all and I wasn’t convinced I wanted to watch any of the stargate shows, but it obviously did catch my interest, I love the actors and the characters they play and the team dynamics were great from the start. The more I watch this episode the better it gets. The episode really shows us each of the characters and we can already see the family developing. It is of course an important storyline, introducing us to the fact there is more than one god, who the jaffa are, that the stargate is capable of dialing more than one planet. It develops on the theory presented to us in the orginal movie, but on the other hand you could probably get away with never watching the movie and gradually understand the history but i think it does help.
Sam/Jack
Sam and Jack.....the beginning of a beautiful relationship. My thoughts on watching the episode the first time??? So many wonderful moments but they are easier to spot on repeated watches, once you have prior knowledge of the relationship. The scene in the briefing room where they first meet is fantastic. Once Sam has establised who she is and that she is not just another girl Jack just smiles and looks at her whilst the rest of the men in the room continue to make a dig at her. Its not hard to see that Jack is impressed and possibly a little bit blown away by Sam from this very first meeting. Another lovely moment is when Jack pushes Sam thorough the wormhole, telling her he adores her already, and of course sitting next to each other at dinner on Abydos. I think by the end of the episode we can see a bond and a friendship developing already, little did many of realise what a ride and a ship we were heading for.
