Cameron Mitchell/Samantha Carter Discussion/Ship/Appreciation

Spoiler:

Poor Cam, is it bad that I enjoyed him getting his butt kicked so much?

-Stef

Nope, I enjoyed it just as much as you did

[Sorne]

Wasn't Ben Browder quoted in one of his interviews as saying that everyone on the show has their own sort of secret power. Sam is smart, Teal'c strong/warrior, Daniel translator / smart, Vala knows the dregs of the universe and is "street smart."

And then he went on to say it took season 9 for him to really discover Mitchell's power. And how that power is being able to get beaten on episode after episode?

I also enjoy it, because of the Cam/Sam moments they lead to

[firefly827347]

Yeah, Ben said that in his most recent GateWorld interview. His superpower is getting his ass kicked

LOL. And don't we just love it? It's true though....

Spoiler:

Avalon 2: The Knight
Babylon: The Sodan
Prototype: Anubis hybrid
Collateral Damage: Emotional punching bag
Ripple Effect: Teal'c knocks him down
Off the Grid: Well, the whole team for this one
Arthur's Mantle: Zombie Sodan guy
Camelot: Ship explodes
Memento Mori: Vala shoots him
Talion: Teal'c (again)
AOT:

I'm sure he'll probably get a little bruised in Continuum as well

I think his room probably injured him in Unending too when he trashed it

Very true. His bed did kinda hit him when he started throwing it around...that's why he was bending over...he'd hurt himself.

Keep in mind that I am not including all of the emotional whump he's had over the past two seasons....and there's a lot...and Sam was there for most of it

Not to mention the humungous whumpage he suffered in the battle of Antarctica

I would like to see an episode based on their relationship Pre-Season 9, since it seems like they knew one another before then. The Road Not Taken (i think is the fanfic) would be a cool thing to base such an episode off of. And if they were indeed friends before season 9, it would be cool to see how Sam reacted to the whole Antarctica nearly dying bit

I really like situations where one of the people in a ship that I like gets whumped in front of the other (or because of the other). It pretty much guarantees some rewarding scenes between them

Unfortunately, we haven't really gotten many good Sam / Cam whumping scenes, even though Cam has gotten his butt kicked in a lot of episodes, Sam just wasn't around for much of it, or they cut away / skipped past the scenes which would have ensued, had they kept the story flowing, instead of jumping to like 3 weeks later. AOT and Line in the Sand are the only instances I can think of. (Maybe a bit of Flesh & Blood)

when i saw sam in the infirmary in that outfit, i was thinking GORGEOUS.

but when she kised cam on the cheek, thats when it hit me, they look so good together. they are in the sam age range, she can escape her lab when cam is inthe infirmary, it would like a mini-vacation for her considering how often he gets hurt.

and heres a dumb question, but what is Whump?

[Sorne]

but what is Whump?

Beating the living pi$$ out of someone. Over and over and over and over. It's Mitchell's special ability.

[SG66]

thank you, i can't tell you how confused i've been over that word.

[firefly827347]

Whump takes two forms: emotional and physical. Cameron is a good example of both Physical is when someone has the crap beaten out of them. Emotional is when they suffer heartbreak, loss, guilt etc (e.g. in Collateral Damage)

I didn't think Sam knew Cam before the Antarctica thing. I was under the impression they became friends after that experience...but maybe you're just referring to the events of the fic (I think it's "The Road Taken" since there's an actual season 10 episode called "The Road Not Taken") but I am still working my way through that fic. I have trouble reading large amounts of writing on my screen...hurts the eyes. That, and I have a terrible attention-span

I agree with you on the whump thing. I always like when someone is injured and the other person is watching or trying to help them. I think there's something innately romantic about situations like that...don't ask me why.

There are whole threads for whumpage, no? I think Shep has his own "whump" thread if I'm not mistaken. I don't particularly obsess over it, and I don't search it out...but I appreciate a good a$$ kicking every now and then...especially if it's Cam that's getting the kicking

Yeah, I agree with all of that. (Yes, Shep has his own whump thread )

Actually, I always kind of had the opposite impression - that they'd been friends for a long time. I don't think canon tells us either way, unless I missed it, but something about the way they talked to each other in Avalon - it just felt like old friends. But that's just my personal take on it.
