She said from the very begining that a child was all she wanted. She came onto Jack while he was not only still very upset and confused about being forever cut off from home, but seduced him while he was drunk. If that had been me or someone I knew, I would definately without a doubt consider that being used. And I'd be very pissed off about it afterwards, too.
Laira remains the evil one in my mind.
Don't get me wrong..Im just as much a Jack and Sam fan as the rest of you..
It was clear to me that Jack kinda liked Laira well before he knew he was stuck on her planet.
The looks he gave her when they were watching the 'fire rain' also they seemed to be together well before the night he got drunk...plus he wasn't *that* drunk that he didn't know what was going on...it does take two to make babies and he knew what he was doing.
I will say that I think he was trying to make the best of a bad situation and no I don't think he ever loved her.
And she only told him that she wanted a child after he had been there for a few months. It wasn;t like he step throught the gate and she pounced on him and said she wanted a child
