I really don't have anything profound to say about this except that I was quietly happy and content with the way this ended up. I felt like this was just the sort of almost-fan-ficcy ending I wanted and that I will now be able to comfortably stop watching SG-1 at the end of the season, feeling that it's all turning out the way I wanted it to.

Sam's not engaged to Pete. I didn't mind Pete, but never felt he was right for her or that she was deep down happy with him. I cried when Jacob and Selmak died - but the death and the explanation *worked* for me, loved that Jack was there with his arm around Sam, loved the fact that Jack couldn't/didn't argue with Kerry over her assessment of the situation (I do love that "Thinking!Jack" face), loved that the episode ended with them all at Jack's cabin by the fishless lake. It just all felt good and right.

I haven't been as happy with the show this season, but still watched for those less frequent "team" moments that were what got me watching in the first place. Although I love Bra'tac, I am not fond of (okay, read "often bored silly with") the Jaffa centric episodes and Danny off saving the universe... sigh. Well, least said soonest mended about my feelings about Danny.

I really watch for Jack O'Neill and, to a slightly lesser extent, Sam Carter. And yes, I'm a shipper - though thankfully not a rabid one, just a quiet and now rather pleased one. I can't really imagine watching a season with no Jack and very little Carter. For me it would be kind of like having a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with no ham or cheese. Don't get me wrong, it isn't all that useful without the bread, either, but with no ham and cheese it isn't the sandwich that I love, even if the new ingredients are okay. Just as without Sam and Jack it's not the show I love.

So, all in all, I'm happy with the way things turned out. :)

Aw, thanks! It was just so... *right*. In fact, I think I may go back and rewatch it tonight. And I haven't rewatched an ep in a very , *very* long time. :)

I watched it again last night, and I'm rewatching Reckoning now, too.
