More about Jack's feelings

I've always been of the opinion that Jack was still in love with Sara all through season 1. I don't think he saw Carter as a woman of interest until well into season three. My timeline is Season 1, Jack loves Sara. Season 2, Jack is letting go of Sara. Season 3, Jack begins to realize life goes on, and Carter is beautiful in mind and body. Season 4--well, season 4. Shippers and non-shippers alike know what TPTB did in season 4.

However, both Jack and Sam are dedicated USAF officers. They both know and believe in the fraternization regulations. There's no way they would step across that line while Jack was her CO. IMO, he's still her CO when he's head of Homeworld, because he oversees the SGC, Area 51, Pegasus and the Fleet of 304s (ask me sometime why the 302 is a horrible airplane). They don't have a chance until he retires. Or she retires.

As for children? Not in the cards. By the time they can legitimately be together, he'll be in his 60s and she will be in her late 40s. Besides, I've never seen any driving wish for children in either of them.

That's how I see it.

I will now return to our irregularly scheduled NCIS reviews. Maybe.
