Amanda Begging

[tara3583]

Gateworld has a bit of news about Amanda wanting to direct an episode in s8.

Amanda tells scifi wire that she is begging
tptb to give her the chance to direct again.

I hope they give her that chance as she did
such a fantastic job that got her a nomination
for her efforts!

[Hatusu]

I agree. She did a terrific job, and from what I've seen and heard about her, she's a real team player. It would be interesting to see her style develop.

[Anubis]

I remember reading somewhere that she said after shes finished with acting, but she'll still appear in the odd things she wants to be a director

[PYRO]

She has already Directed a episode? Which one?

[bcmilco]

She directed s7 Resurrection.

[Anubis]

Good directing, not so good story

[Elwe Singollo]

I thought it was a good story, but placed wrong in the season.

[PYRO]

Ah the one with the Hybrid, meh, I dident think it was that bad-bad, I thought of it as not that entertianing-bad.

[Elwe Singollo]

I thought it was... more of 'getting to know more' about things, and the little talk between Carter and that dude (i forgot his name) about going out on a date, it was pretty funny..

[Bagpuss]

Count me in for supporting another AT Directing stint too,folks !

(You're thinking of N.I.D. Agent Malcolm Barrett,lmj . )

I agree with many other people on here in that the directing was great, but the story behind it wasn't so hot. Does anyone know if this is the first thing ever she has directed, or has she had previous experience?

[Elwe Singollo]

You guys are dissing MS! I think (well maybe it wouldn't really change much) if they placed the episode before all these dramatic things happened, such as Heros p1, Heros p2, etc, it would maybe have a different effect on some people. But thats what i think...

[bcmilco]

Overall, I thought the directing was more impressive then the story for Resurrection. Loved the teaser which is actually all one shot. Also the End was a nice pull back/reveal. Loved the way she used Daniel's glasses in the middle.

Just some really well shot/blocked scenes.

So yes I hope she gets to direct again.

I doubt this is the first thing she's ever directed, however AFAIK it's the first thing she's directed that "counts".

You guys are dissing MS!

No actually I'm criticizing a story that I didn't like. Just because MS wrote it doesn't mean I don't like MS. I think he's a very talented actor.

I think (well maybe it wouldn't really change much) if they placed the episode before all these dramatic things happened, such as Heros p1, Heros p2, etc, it would maybe have a different effect on some people. But thats what i think...

IMO the placement of the episode had no effect on how much I liked the episode, I watched it 3(?) times and I still wasn't impressed with the story. It did have some nice moments, (Teal'c/Dr. Lee especially) but it just didn't do much for me.

On topic... I hope they don't make Amanda beg too much.

Maybe she could direct an Atlantis episode. She might have more time to prep and she wouldn't have to be in it.
