Question:  (and not completely snarky)

There's a debate/discussion/frenzy that started amongst some of the Sam/Jack shippers because Amanda Tapping had the audacity to defend Pete at the con in Pasadena last weekend.  She likes the character, she likes the actor.

Why does it matter so much to the shippers.  There are more than a couple who are convinced that she hasn't actually seen the episode.  Otherwise, she would know how heinous he was.  Others want a debate with DDL, Pete's actor.  WTF???  Like he's going to come to some sort of epiphany and say...'Oh, yeah.  I see why you hate my character now.  Go ahead and lynch him, shoot him, boil him...whatever you want to do.  It's okay.'

I just don't get why they care so much if she hates the character or not.  Grr!!
