Thoughts about Ripple Effect (SG1 9x13).

In dot points because I’m not gonna be able to write anything properly. 

I mean really its a bit of a silly episode. I enjoy it, don’t get me wrong but its far from a favourite of mine. Although multiple Sam’s in one room... ;) 

The ambiguity of whether alt!Sam’s were with Jack or someone else is frustrating to an extent. Like every other AU story, she’s with Jack but now they won’t say.. why? Do they want us to question if she started dating Pete or Jack? Is it because its so heavily suggested that she’s seeing Jack in our timeline and if so what difference does it make? Janet and Martouf’s Sam is on maternity leave, something our Sam was concerned about with Pete... at the end of the day its frustrating to have ONE AU episode with so many Sam’s and not know if she’s with him. I assume she is because every other Sam has been, its kind of a given at this point. 

Martouf. Where do I beging with Martouf! I love him. I love him so, so, so much. He was a favourite of mine when he came into the show in s2 right through until his death. I loved him with Sam (even tho Jack/Sam is my OTP) and I loved the dynamic they share both within and outside the Lantash/Jolinar plot. Seeing him again was so heart breaking. When I knew he was about to round the corner I yelled at my TV because I knew it was going to end in me being heartbroken AGAIN over him.  I love how he talks about his Sam and their relationship. I DON’T like that our Sam and him nearly kiss. Its been implied since the end of s8 that she’s with Jack now and Sam wouldn’t cheat on him, she’s not an asshole. I suppose the Jolinar in her was responding to the situation more than Sam was.. as much as I LOVE them together, my headcanon is that she’s with jack now and therefore wouldn’t be kissing Martouf.  The kiss on the cheek right before he leaves is such a beautiful scene. I’ve said it like four times but I love their dynamic and I wish they had given him more of a chance to be a part of the show. Even had them have a relationship at some point so we could see Jack and Jacob’s reactions to that. Would have been hilarious. 

Janet. She means a lot to me and its her departure at the end that really broke me tbh. Janet means a lot to me because of who she was. She was a tiny human being (Teryl Rothery and I are the same height) with a heart of gold and protectd her friends and helped people, took no shit, was feirce and brave. She was an inspiration to me for a long time to be honest and I like to think I channel her a little bit when I’m teaching because it means I’m feirce and don’t put up with shit but I am still compassionate.  She deservd better in the show. To be written out the way she was and then brought back for such a short ammount of time was shitty. Especially since she’s basically never mentioned and God knows what happened to Cassie. Sure Sam says she took the R&D job to have more flexible hours for Cassie (yeah from another state, sounds fake we all know she took the job for Jack but go off) but when do we hear about her again? When do we see her again?  We get a little bit of mourning from the main cast in Heroes p2 but not enough. Janet was Sam’s best friend, she clearly had a strong relationship with Daniel and the other boys. We see Sam crying and being heartbroken during the episode but then shes just fine? Never mentions her best friend, we don’t see Jack mourn, we get a tiny bit of Teal’c and Daniel? he WATCHED her die and we get next to nothing. At the very least all of them seeing her in this episode would have been a little traumatic for everyone, especially Daniel.  I know they’ve all lost people in the past and you can’t keep certain things running on and on for multiple episodes because it becomes overkill but some kind of recognition past Heroes would have been nice.. 

Any way I think thats it for now. I’ll update it if I think of anything else! Feeling very emotional right now friends.
