There's no reason why Carter couldn't have it all IF SHE WANTED IT. That she (or Jack) hasn't done what would be required to have it, it's obvious her Air Force career (and his) is more important... and y'know what? That's absolutely fine. But what kind of wimpy idiotic moron wouldn't deal with any feelings that they'd decided weren't worth the effort?
I still can't figure out why anyone would root for a romance that would never work in the scope of the show - Jack/Sam could never come to fruition without fundamentally changing things and destroying the show. Of course, by dragging that shit out and making it so in-yer-face just to tease the portion of the audience who for some reason saw chemistry between Male Lead Character and Female Lead Character (because, really, everyone knows MLCs and FLCs belong together no matter what), they fundamentally changed and destroyed the show.
I just don't get it. Who wins in that scenario?
It's kind of like my frustration with the main romantic crap in Smallville. Everyone already KNOWS Clark and Lana do not end up together, so how could anyone actively ship them, as if the outcome would ever somehow change?
