You know what? I'm gonna rant.
About what? About all that stupid negativity that is starting to grate on my nerves.

Some of you might not like this but I am sick and tired of the whining. So if you think I might offend you, just don't read it, okay?


I've had it. I seriously, utterly had it with all the people that are proclaiming the end of ship every 5 minutes.

Tell me why the hell the directors would be against a story arch that they have been maintaining for 7 years now? Why would they suddenly slant it and sink the ship when they left us with the shippiest season *ever*? Honestly, right now I think some shippers deserve to see the end of ship because their whining is getting beyond ridiculous.

I love my ship. I wasn't fond of Sam/Pete but it wasn't all that bad either. I am still torn about it but the longer this fandom will keep whining over it and trashing characters for it, the more I feel like supporting it.

I love Sam and Jack ship, so I love both Sam *and* Jack. Seems most people just love Jack though and they're trashing Sam for cheating on Jack but at the same time it's alright for Sam to cheat on Pete with Jack in fanfics. Those people really have some screwed up morals.

mrv3000 once wrote a beautiful entry about letting the storyteller say whatever he wants and I agree with that. We are just listening to a story. Sure, I'd like it to end happily but if not, then so be it. So can we please cut down on the hysterics? We have a show that has brought some amazing character developments. They have stayed true to the characters and the relationships while allowing them to develop. I have faith in TPTB to bring me something that will work. Whether it will be a happy shippy ending or not, that's up to them.

Sam is not a hussy. She is not keeping Daniel from Jack, she is not cheating on Jack and she is not a love sick puppy running after her CO. AT has managed to put down a strong character. Granted sometimes I don't agree with all her views but I do believe that she has made Sam who she is and who I love.

So can we now please move on? Chimera happened. You don't have to like it, you don't have to hate it. It happened, it's there; DEAL WITH IT. Just stop trashing everything and everyone and behaving like a brat that isn't getting his way. I swear if I hear one more "ship is dead" or "they're trying to kill the ship" exclamation I am so going to thwap that person good. *You* are not Sam and Jack - thank goodness. What *you* think is right for *you* is not necessarily what *they* should do.

There, I said it. Go unfriend me now if you feel like it.

You're using your 2010 icons on my lj to get me to chose a 2010 layout, aren't you?

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

That would be evil.

[woodface]

I'll take that as a yes.

Maybe it would help if you make me some 2010 icons.

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Sneaky. Very sneaky.

[woodface]

Yups, that's me. *g*

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

Nomail is your friend, m'dear. I'm happily ignorant of all the onlist garbage. I have heard almost no whining at all, although I know it's out there.

I am a bit concerned about the direction of season 8, but *shrug* I intend to enjoy it regardless.

*hugs*

[woodface]

Well, I am on no mail and still I manage to walk into that attitude and it's really working on my nerves.

Maybe I'm concerned but frankly, they deserve the right to do whatever they want to do and the more they whine, the more right they get in my book. I just had to vent *g*

*knuffels*

[jemster.livejournal.com]

I loce you Jara. Seriously, I do. *grope* ;-)

[jemster.livejournal.com]

Loce? Don't tell me that's a bad word in Dutch either. ;-)

LoVe..I mean love you.

Okay, I'm going.

[woodface]

Hee! No actually doesn't exist in Dutch *g*

And I figured ;oP

Bye!

[woodface]

What's loce? *looks worried*

AAAAAAAAA! I'm being groped again!

*g* *knuffels* Thank you, hon. Right back at yah ;o)

[lydkami.livejournal.com]

*sighs in happiness*

perfectly said my dear! I so agree with you (sadly not everyone is like you).

from now on when I need to say something I will let you know so you can write it down *g*

*knuffels*

[woodface]

*bows* Thank you, thank you.

Put suggestions for the next rant theme in the suggestion box.

*hugs*

[lydkami.livejournal.com]

you're welcome and I will keep an eye on that box ;)

Me own theory is that Sam/Pete's some sort of narrative catalyst to make her jump Jack by the end of the season. Or he's an alien spy! Either works for me.


Sam is not a hussy. She is not keeping Daniel from Jack,

*puts on OT3 blinkers* "They're all in love, they live together, they have bebbies!" (repeat ad nauseum)

she is not cheating on Jack

That's mad. I mean, it's not like she's shagged him, and he doesn't have proprietry rights. (Unless the USAF is *way* more perverted than they tell us.)

and she is not a love sick puppy running after her CO.

You know I disagree here. :) But I want to see Jack being a puppy! Because it would be adorable it would advance the 'ship.


I swear if I hear one more "ship is dead" or "they're trying to kill the ship" exclamation I am so going to thwap that person good.

Ninepence says Sam/Pete is the thing that makes Sam/Jack happen.

*snickers* Might just be. =oD

*puts on OT3 blinkers* "They're all in love, they live together, they have bebbies!" (repeat ad nauseum)

Oh dude, I'm not *even* going there!

I mean, it's not like she's shagged him, and he doesn't have proprietry rights. (Unless the USAF is *way* more perverted than they tell us.)

Oh that calls for a fic. Jack demanding his proprietry right next time he sees her with Pete. *giggles* Sorry, just too funny.

But I want to see Jack being a puppy! Because it would be adorable it would advance the 'ship.

See, I see more of the puppy in Jack than I do in Sam but we already discussed that. Although I will certainly not object to a more overt sort of puppy behaviour from him.

Ninepence says Sam/Pete is the thing that makes Sam/Jack happen.

Might just be! I was mulling over it the other day and had to remember a belgian serie where the woman gets married and her would-be-lover abducts her with a chopper on the wedding day. It wasn't that corny on telly though.

Feel better? *gruβe u. kuβe* (forgotten Dutch words, sorry)
Say what you want, girl! It's your lj.

The fact that I happen to agree with you is neither here nor there ;)

[woodface]

Feel better? *gruβe u. kuβe* (forgotten Dutch words, sorry)

Heaps!

Grote knuffel?

*knuffels*

[calyx.livejournal.com]

Woo-Hoo! Honestly, I think the majority of people think the same way that you do, at least the ones that I have talked to, but they are just not as vocal as the ones that feel ship as dead. A little crowd can make a lot of noise. :)

[woodface]

I hope so. I must say that the majority on lj does manage to keep their heads attached. I'm glad I have a sane friend list!

[elly427.livejournal.com]

Sam is not a hussy. She is not keeping Daniel from Jack, she is not cheating on Jack and she is not a love sick puppy running after her CO.

I want that on a t-shirt.

You're just plain great. You know that, right?

[woodface]

I want that on a t-shirt.

*adds one t-shirt for elly427 to her order*

You're just plain great. You know that, right?

*blushes* Thank you *smooooooooooooch*

*holds up a banner saying "I love Jara" - girl you kick ass, long live the freedom of the scriptwriters :

[woodface]

*gasps* There are banners? Way cool!

Thanks, hon! And yeah, we should just have faith =o)

mrv3000 once wrote a beautiful entry about letting the storyteller say whatever he wants and I agree with that. We are just listening to a story.

I =sooooooooo= agree with you!
Very very well said!
Thankfully I haven't been on the S/J list in ages. I love my ship, I love Sam, I love Jack, I love the interaction between the two characters in the show, I love the idea of them having a happily ever after. And yes, I do get excited when spoilers of shippy scenes pop up on the internet. But when it turns out to be less shippy than claimed at first, that's fine with me. It's TPTB's story, and it's their perogative to take us, the viewers, wherever they deem is right to take us.
Do they make choices I don't agree with? Sure! (why is Daniel back?!?!) Do I moan about it? Nope, I've got better things to do, thanks muchly.
When I crave happily ever after for Sam and Jack, I read fanfic by my fave authors. Ad still watch the show, and watch in wonder where TPTB take us this week.

Speaking of which, I'm off to watch Grace, and catch up some more on the second half of season 7 :-)

[woodface]

*g* That's a good attitude ;o)

Hope you enjoyed Grace!

[stef94.livejournal.com]

I didn't enjoy it that much, but that's probably got more to do with the weird headspace I'm in than anything else.. stupid afrereffects of stupid migraine..

[woodface]

Ugh hope you feel better.
