The Sam & Jack Shippers' Archive

[Bucky]

Sally, here's the quote from Amanda in the interview posted August 9th here at Gateworld. The title is called something like Gating to Season Nine?

Amanda Tapping ("Samantha Carter") is also pondering whether or not it's time to move on. "It's really a double-edged sword," she told Femme Fatales magazine. "It's been such a phenomenal run and such a great time, that maybe it is time to let it go. At the same time, it's very scary because there's so much invested in it and we're all such a family. ... This has been a great job, but there's a huge part of Amanda Tapping the actress who wants to play characters that don't wear combat boots."

THANK YOU!, I thought it might have been the Femme Fatales interview, but you were good enough to do the leg work to find it.

The more I hear about RDA being ready to move on and AT also having doubts as to her desire to continue, the more I think season 9 is a poor idea in general. Eight seasons is a good run. It'd be a shame if this turned into another X-files thing where they kept going too long. I'd rather see them tie up the stories they have and shift into the miniseries/movie area in the future.

Realistically, I doubt it'll go that way. TV isn't exactly a quit while you're ahead industry.

I know what you mean. RDA and AT have brought so much to the show that they really can't make a good season 9 without them, IMHO. I also think a 9th year would be problematic in general since I don't think there aren't enough dangling story lines for another season.

Your quite welcome

I just had a thought (it happens. Wouldn't it be shocking if RDA signed on but AT declined to do a season 9. The show wouldn't be the same without her either IMHO. I'll bet that even AT wouldn't be as gung-ho to do a season 9 without RDA if she'd sign on at all if he left.
We must have the Sam and Jack grand finale this season. Hopefully the PTB will do the opposite of the cliche, Comes in like a Lion but out like a Lamb. I wouldn't be satisfied with Sam saying ok to going fishing with Jack as a decent resolution for 8 years of shippiness. It must go out with a bang to satisfy this shippy heart

(((((((((((shipper family))))))))))))

I'm gonna read some fic and go to bed. See ya tomorrow.

[SG1Poz]

Yea, it's the midnight hour here. I'm going to bed and reading some fics

Goodnight all and remember to say a prayer for those folks in Florida who were ravished by Hurricane Charley.

I don't know him at all other than his posts on GW. But if he was just trying to keep shippers around then he would play both sides (antis), and I don't see him doing that. He has chosen his posts carefully, and in Threads that are of interest to him. Also, JM posted a "Happy Ship Day" message! There would be no advantage to do that. I mean, "Ship Day" was meaningful to shippers, and he didn't need to send a message to us but he WANTED to send us that message! Hmmm....I need to send him a thank you card. *goes in search of perfect postcard*

Maybe . . . I'm still afraid that they're intentions are mercenary ("they" being all the PTB). Yes, JM has come here and bolstered us, but couldn't it be that each "sect" in the fandom has a PTB designated to act as, for lack of a better term, liaison? We get JM, maybe because he's a bit of a shipper himself, while the Solutions folk might have RCC. (Who knows who could be over there telling *them* to hang in there and not jump to conclusions.) And the Teal'c fans might have Paul. . . etc, etc.

I'm so sorry, but I no longer have it in me to blindly trust TPTB, that they'll make everything turn out all right for us shippers. I hope I'm wrong, but I think I need an extra-strong cookie or something. I also find it interesting that JM hasn't posted a word in the shipper forum since we'd started suspecting that "Thread"

Spoiler:

wouldn't necessarily end with J and S together, might even end with her going back to after she sees Kerry at Jack's house, and the spoilers were probably posted just to keep us watching (and their $$ coming in) after A$$inity.

Anybody got a cookie?

I liked "Avatar" as well.

Spoilers:

Spoiler:

There wasn't much ship in the episode except for those couple of knowing looks and smiles, but I liked the episode anyway.

This is sorta OT, but

Spoiler:

am I the only one who laughed at the VR representative of Daniel? His hair was just . . . wrong, and he looked more like Harry Potter to me! LOL. I wish we'd gotten to see VR Jack and VR Sam . . .

Oooh, wait a minute. How intriguing . . . Sam and Jack in VR . . . Hmmmm . . . there's a fic in there somewhere . . . <vbEg>

First...prayers going out to everyone and their families in Florida.

Next...I have begun putting together the notebook I am going to present to Amanda at the convention on the 27th. If anyone would like to email me a letter to include, my email address is [email protected]. I would like to receive all the letters by the 25th. Thanks!

Spoiler:

In addition, we know that
puts a down payment on a home for him and Sam in Threads. I don't think he would do that without an engagement.

Oh I think I'm gonna be sick. Where is that bucket?

Me too... sick in the heart.

Bring on Affinity already!!!

Personally, I think the shippers who watch THAT episode for the family deserve the
SHIPPER MEDAL OF COURAGE!!!!!!!.

As mayor of Shipper Town, I will personally pin a medal on each shipper's chest at the Shipper Town Hall at an appropriate ceremony attended by all Shipper Town residents !

Mayor Ship Nana? I'm planning on watching it - after all, if I can survive two characters on "The West Wing" I can handle this episode! I'll do it for the Shipper Family!

http://www.e-net.or.jp/user/ncc-1701/Amanda/ - On the front page of this website there's a link to a little biography about AT. She has 3 brothers named RICK, CHRIS, AND MICHAEL. How's that for coincidence??

If I'm remembering this right, Amanda's brothers names are Richard, Chris, and Stephen. She has a step-brother named Michael. That's still great!
