Re: Problems...
I disagree. Sam does have the character to lead. Admittedly the 'shippiness' that's been dumped on her character by the scriptwriters makes her look unprofessional and thus weakens her claim to lead S.G.-1. ('Ship's fine in fic., but please - not in canon.)
However, Daniel and Teal'c made very clear their support for her as their team-leader in series 3's 'Shades of Grey'. At the time, Hammond could not be criticized for over-ruling them in favour of Colonel Makepeace, as he was highest ranking field officer left in the S.G.C. at the time and Sam had only recently been promoted.
Now, she's been a major for several years, may well be due for promotion, has already led S.G.-1 in the absence of Colonel O'Neill, and has logged more mission time than any other officer in the S.G.C. apart from Jack.
So give her command of S.G.-1. Not to do so smacks of chauvinism...
Best wishes,
Hatshepsut :wave:

I don't see Sam being in chrage of SG-1 though. She doesn't have a military enough mind to cut it. She's a scientist, her expertise is irreplacable, but she doesn't have the charecter needed to lead.
