ankhOy. The more I hear about the SG-1 'movie' the more I wonder if I should stay the heck away from it. To think I used to love the AU/Alt timeline concept. 'There But for the Grace of God' is perfection. Now it's been done to death, usually with the same ingredients. In the AU/Alt episodes we've had, Sam and Jack are in a relationship or locking lips because Mr PTB is channeling Jack and wants to shag Sam or some such thing. Whatever the reason, you can pretty much guarantee that Sam's role will be as Jack's beard girlie interest and the actress will get to do something really interesting and challenging, like wear a bad wig and, well, be more 'feminine' (because Sam Carter can't possibly be a woman without having long hair, wearing Girl clothes and snogging a bloke). Daniel will be off doing something heroic by himself. Teal'c will be...there. Jack will be a jerk or dead - I'm not sure which is worse. This latest offering will no doubt offer more of the same and it's written by Brad Wright. If it's not one 'ship' it'll be another.
On the other hand, both Heroes and Supernatural are delivering one of my favourite kinds of relationship, that of two brothers. I haven't had this much warm fuzzies since Simon and Simon. Without spoiling either show's finale, both sets of brothers managed to break my heart and turn me to mush. Studios seemed to have given up on buddy-buddy fare, so hopefully this is a way for them to give two guys loving each other (and expressing it) without worrying whether some cross-burner is going to show up outside their front lawn.
With Heroes and Supernatural both delivering quality relationships and edge-of-the-seat stories, no wonder SG-1 spoilers are sounding so stale. I just hope I can find the SG-1 characters enough to engage me, because it certainly hasn't been the writing that's kept me watching. It would be nice to have a dvd movie that I don't have to ff through but I suppose that's asking for the impossible.

The second is nothing but a temporal wankfest so they can work in some form of ship and possibly do something actually interesting that's reset at the end.
I'm pretty sure the movies are free of the restrictions of the USAF advisor (just as Atlantis is, as evidenced by pics of Sam with long hair), so they can ship all they want and ignore the regs.

While for the most part I enjoyed seasons 9 and 10, the team moments that didn't include Daniel/Vala and Blowing Up Shit were few and far between.
