Ok, it's been on Sci Fi since the beginning of season six, I believe. Before that, it was on Showtime and in syndication. The Monday night shows are on season four or five at the moment, but I'd have to check to be sure. There's an episode guide on www.tvtome.com if you want to look.

The deal with O'Neil and Carter is there's been a lot of sexual tension, but not much else. The thing is, since they're supposedly in the Air Force, and Jack is her superior officer, they can't fool around. Besides, Jack is a whore when it comes to alien women they meet on gateworlds, and Sam keeps meeting guys she likes, and then they almost always end up dying. I would have liked to see her and Corin's character Jonas Quinn hook up, but that's just me. For most SG fans, Jack and Sam hooking up is akin to Scully and Mulder on the X-Files.

As for that message in a bottle episode, she won't end up marrying the ambassador, because they changed the future. Plus there's an episode in season five or so where they revisit that plotline and she meets the ambassador through a different set of circumstances and he gets killed. See what I mean about her bad luck with guys?

NID is to the Stargate program what the CIA would be to the FBI. They're basically militaristic and want to use whatever technology the Air Force gets their hands on to further whatever their agenda is this week.

Hope that helps.
