Hey, great tag. And wasn't Teryl superb in this ep?

And yeah, I agree with you - Sam was trying not to be noticed sitting on a fence between her CO and her SO :D

Thank you much! I so wish someone would write a whole story based on Janet's POV for this episode. There's even room for a subtexty Sam/Janet scene, when Sam goes to get Janet and leaves Teal'c alone with Apophis. She was gone for quite a while... ;-D

This was the first episode I ever saw, and the episode that made me love Janet... actually that's not true, I would have loved her anyway... and this, this fic was a perfect tribute :)

Oh, I'm happy to have honored such an important episode! *bows* I remember seeing "Teryl Rothery" in the guest list of one of the early episodes. "That person is in it a lot. I wonder who she plays." Didn't take me long to figure out who it was ;-D

So I'm still up because I needed to suck another throat lozenge. It's almost 4 in the morning.

I loved Janet in this episode too, but what I loved was that just by Teryl's acting I could see that a lot of her pain was about inner conflict rather than simply adhering to some personal creed. While I was watching I considered that her pain went beyond inner conflict, that she was doubting her own humanity.

And it bothered me that Sam didn't have her own opinion, not strongly in any case. But I wasn't disappointed in her, it was just another interesting layer to her character that she can so easily hide behind the moral and ethical standpoint of others, as though she doesn't need to confront her own feelings because ultimately, her opinion and her feelings won't influence the outcome.

Okay lozenge disolved. Bed time.

~nods~ Teryl's acting was so powerful in this episode that it didn't need this added scene. I mean, it helped. ;-D Also, Sam's lack of opinion and refusal to take a side is, I think, a sign of just how bad she is with people. She honestly didn't have an opinion about what should happen because it was so far outside her purview. She's just bad with people. ;-)
