I Think I Might Have Read That They Were Deciding Who They Wanted To Pair Sam With - Blog Posts

I have a question about something in Stargate relating to shipping and SG fandom history for those who were there from the start. 

Rewatching season 1 now and I get the impression that the writers and actors were planning to make Sam/Daniel a thing, like that was their long-term goal. For those who were watching it in season 1 as it was airing, was Sam/Daniel the dominant ship during most of S1?

Obviously there were Sam/Jack shippers from ep 1, but was Solitudes the big trigger for Sam/Jack? The one that shifted it to the front? Or was Sam/Jack the dominant ship right from the start?
