No allowances for it being the end of a sizeable chunk of the world, again? :evil: I think Jack went looking for Sam purely on a "where the heck is she? these eggheads do not know what she does" kinda thing and got in over his head. It got played that way. I was okay on most of the scene but for something Sam said. Her resolve against Jack was crumbling where it usually didn't. In my eyes, the ep could have flown better for non-shippers if it got exchanged for some more coolness with that glider. But maybe they ran out of CGI tokens.
And Sam not being able to think in a room of scientists? Jack's "out fishing" attitude is rubbing off on her. If you accept the shippy stuff and recall a few other bits and pieces about them it becomes a "okay" little character bit where neither Sam nor Jack has any brilliant ideas. Sam's just plain tapped out and reacts pretty calmly when facing up to it. It's all out of Jack's supposed realm of tactics and combat so he's tapped out of ideas. No Daniel to provide one, Teal'c's missing, and they won't give Jonas more than the time of day and a few glider plans, so who is going to come up with something?
I still like: "I'm going to go eat cake." They did learn something from that pie fella. And when trapped at the end of the world at the SGC, hit the caffeteria. You don't get that on recon!
This was an ep that tried to please everyone. That "can't please all of the people all of the time" comes into play here.
