But if you think that it's not there, that's your perogative. I just don't think the show would have ever worked if they had zero chemistry.
I thought Sam had chemistry with Daniel in the early seasons. In recent episodes, I've seen that it's still there, though it's different now. Before they had an easy comradeship, and now they have an ease that comes from knowing each other for a long time and knowing almost everything about each other. I never saw it between Sam and Jack. Not romantic and not even friendship. I did see Jack trying to mentor Sam a few times in the early seasons (as he did also with Daniel), but with Daniel, his actions always had a more personal feel. With Sam, it was always professional.
In any case, chemistry is all about perception--that was my point. I wasn't denying that you see chemistry or that others may see romance, but just saying that it can be interpreted differently. I don't think it's a fact; it's a perception, something intangible that some people see and some people don't. I also think it has to do with the types of relationships that attract us as viewers (and not necessarily romantic relationships).
