Confused

[sg_lab2]

It's been awhile since I've seen the Stargate SG-1 s7 episodes Heroes 1 & 2 but as far as I can recall there was nothing in the two part episodes that indicated it was Sam's fault that Janet was shot and killed. I don't understand how some people come to this conclusion.

This came from listening to Gateworld's most recent podcast talking about the women of Stargate and the person who said this about Sam said it as if it were fact.

It looks like you double-posted somehow.

As far as Heroes - I've never quite understood that theory myself. Sam did leave her post to run to Jack when he went down - but it seems like a stretch to me to say that the Jaffa that killed Janet got through because Sam left her post. But then, I've only seen those episodes once several years ago - I haven't made an extensive study of them. :)

Odd, I was re-editing my post and it must have double posted because the second post has what I added.

To be honest I don't think I could watch those episodes again. They left me with a very bad feeling. From what I do recall though when they're on the planet it did feel very chaotic. I'm not sure they did a very good job of establishing everyone's position.

Generally I think it's just an excuse for Sam haters and Sam/Jack ship haters to bash Sam.

The person on the podcast who said this felt Sam was too perfect. And while I think there have been a few times she hasn't been called on the carpet for some things, I could say that about the whole team.

Say what now? First I've heard of this theory. So like, maybe it was Sam's fault that all the other deaths occured on the battlefield aswell. *rolleyes*

LOL, yeah I've seen this theory before too on a different forum that claimed to be dedicated to the original SG-1 team. Where Teal'c was ignored, Jack was pretty much ignored, unless he was an accessory to Daniel's arm, and Sam was a bitch from hell. Oh and Daniel could do no wrong. *rolls eyes*

Seriously, TPTB have done a lot of dumb stuff killing off Janet and forgetting her for a season and a half but it never occurred to me they were trying to show us Sam was at fault for Janet's death. In fact I'm certain they never intended that.

The person on this podcast clearly didn't care much for Sam and thought she was too perfect.
