INTERVIEW: Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter)

The problem is that episode ran 12 minutes over (and that's over a quater of an episodes length), unfortunatly things not pertaining the the storyline had to go - no matter how sad it is that they had too...
Thanks Darren and Amanda for the interview, looks like this season is going to be more settled then last.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

And given some fans see Vala as trampling on Carter's space (eg the only other regular female cast member) I think to see them being friendly/supportive would be a good thing for the show.

Originally posted by Willow's CatYes I read that too, but I think sometimes they cut what the guys think is not important to the story, yes I know it is a SciFi show but that shouldn't mean the first thing to go is the emotional content. Not always anyway, but it seems it is the first thing to go always.
I know we would like to see it, but not all little assides like this are important to the main story arc of the episode.

I think it would have been more disasterous keeping that 30 seconds of film and cutting a key point then it would have been cutting that piece of film. It's sad, it bites, it's the reality of the business. And in the end it's only one thing that got cut (for Sam and Vala connecting that we know of), let's see what happens in following episodes, for all we know they are going to make up for it.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

Well since we are not sure what episode it was in, it's a massive generalisation to make. We don't know for what content they cut it for, but being 12 minutes over is just plain painful. If it had been much less then that (maybe 2 minutes) I would be with you and what you are saying, but this is hugely over time.
I just hope they pick up the slack on a later episode.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

I am not saying lets have heaps of mushy sentimental story-lines I am just saying moments like the one hinted at in the interview (moments) are just what a lot of fans (and not just females) are looking for and we are not getting them... at all.

What I am trying to say is that, complaining about this being cut doesn't make sense to me because the episode ran so far over. A minute or 2 I would feel much different about it, 12 minutes - c'mon we have to be fair here.
And for all we know they may pick up the slack later. But yes, in a nut shell I agree, we do need more of these moments. But I want the to come with the storyline, not at the cost of it.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

EXCELLENT interview. Amanda is ...as always just a joy to read and Darren some great questions there. I am glad to hear that she is promoting the *friendship* aspect of the two women on the team rather than the opposite. Thats been way overdone these days. So that will be a joy to watch
Amanda is a class act!!!Life is short, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And live out loud with no regrets..

Thanks Darren for a lovely interview from Amanda, it's always a pleasure to read any interview from Amanda and nice to hear that she is feeling happy with s10.
Shame that the scene with Vala got cut but i have to say that i like the idea that Amanda has with Claudia about getting in as many little signs between their characters as they can, sometimes it's the little looks and face expressions between the characters that really does work the best.......TARA......
