Alternate realities...
Jul. 27th, 2006 09:15 pmMyr and I are re-watching Stargate and we are up to the episode "Point of View" where the alternate reality Sam and Kolwasky come through the quantum mirror.
( Wherein I complain about the use of alternate realities on TV )
In this ep, the alternate-reality Sam was married to alternate-reality Jack and, unfortunately, watched him die. She then shows up in our world and turns to our Jack for comfort when the loss overwhelms her. Now this always bothered me. This Jack is not her Jack and I always thought being that close to a person who looked exactly like the one you love and lost would end up making things worse. It would be a very painful reminder that you will never again have. Personally, I'd want to keep as far away from him as possible.
As Myr was watching the scene she goes "I don't think this would help any. He's not her Jack, after all. I think it would just make me sadder."
Hee. I just love it when she thinks like me.
