Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[jckfan55]

for me, should amanda decide to leave....well i'll be sad and it will certainly kill my enjoyment for the show if it continues without her....but that's about the end of it.

i respect her and her wishes enough not to try and make her do what i want her to do

Exactly. If you respect her you have to respect her decision to stay or leave. I'd be sorry to see her go, but you can't fault her contribution to the show and the entertainment she's provided us. And it *is* just a tv show, as much fun as we have talking about it and the characters.

Amanda: Dead woman in the freezer - yeah been there done that!!

LOL ... yeah, forgot all about that ... was it her appearance on X-Files?! No wonder you thought of MajorSam (didn't she share that awful autopsy screencap with us ages ago?!) and our Madam President was last heard from as she came home from maneuvers at end of summer and was preparing to take an acting workshop with Tom McBeath - Maybourne!

Our beloved president has been gone for way too long as has Keeper of the Flame (Astro)!

Let's hope they return on a regular basis soon!

I guess we should put together a list of wants?

Qasim what sort of RL issues could possibly keep you away from a unique event like GABIT?

ForeverSG1 is laughing in the face of her fear of flying to get here, CG's daughter is coming to make sure her Mom doesn't get too excited and out of hand and 1speed is escorting me to make sure I keep a steady pace with the sloe gin. Dipsofjazz is coming down from Scotia and it should be one great get together!!

Cough, sputter ... Madam Accountant ... whatever makes you think I may lose my composure when I'm in the midst of this event?!

However, if you do bring your bottled gin, we may need both Jenn and 1speed to keep us in line!

Yes, I'm planning to keep some sort of travel diary about the event and hopefully share with fellow Samandans when I return. That is, if I don't "get too excited and out of hand" ... jeez ... those proper Brits!

I imagine Forever Sg1 and dipsofjazz and maybe Coley/1speed may be bringing some interesting tidbits back too. We won't forget our little kingdom!

lol, get the lefties!!!!

That screenshot from Hathor is interesting (though I did get my hopes up when you said Sam, Janet and Tub scene!!! ), being that holding a M4 like that for a left hander would definitely be awkard. The shells would be ejected straight across your face, and the charging handle might be in an awkard spot too. While it is possible to swap them around, it doesn't happen on the fly
But you're right, it does make sense if she's standing at a corner and needs to shoot around without exposing her body. The P-90 is great in that regard, because it's completely ambidextrous. I notice she did the same thing in Avatar

And another thing - its proven (or at least has significant evidence to back it up) that people who can use both hands equally as good, are able to work their brains more effectively. Perhaps that could explain why Sam seems to have a natural inuition for certain things?

I don't know--sounds *too talented* to me.

Whistler ... just read your ambitious plan .... Have you gone over to the Vala and Weir and Teyla special threads and advertised there? Keep an open mind as you get some feedback.

Better yet, you're a college student and researching this topic ... you can find lots of meaty discussion about Sam Carter and why we think (here in Samanda) she is such an excellent role model of a strong sci-fi female. You'll have to just take the time to check out, especially, our first 300-700 pages of posts ... early on, almost every facet of Sam Carter's role and personality was discussed and critiqued. You'll find some wonderful posts - intelligent and thoughtful. Worthy of a college term paper! Go for it!

LOL Gotta love Berkeley ....

Yeah, you definitely gotta love Berkeley!!!! And, yeah, I have advertised in other appreciation threads. But I've got the potential of 5+ examples of Stargate Females (Sam, Weir, Teyla, Fraiser, and Vala) that could fit into my class, and I can't go through all the pages of *all* of their appreciation threads. I'd be reading and reading, and nothing would leak through!! So, I thought, I'd ask the experts and get a consise answer. Plus, I'm only going to spend one or possibly two days on Stargate, so I don't have unlimited time to invest in each character. I gotta allocate accordingly.

Who got the 17000th post on the thread? Whoot! That's huge!

On Edit: Whoa, totally a coincidence that this was my 1700th post. When do I get a custom avatar? (Not that I can make one, heh heh)

[Traveler Enroute1]

i don't understand what you mean by 'auto-edit'? since there's no edit button anymore, just 'how' do i edit my posts?


sally

(editing post) forget it. i just found the edit button.

OK, NOW I'm spooked. There WAS an edit button when I posted about the bb's new look. But...IT'S GONE! Let me post and try again...

Just sayin...

WHEW! Just saw your correction.

Since we just mentioned the Femmes Fatales photoshoot, this little photo came to mind also ... caption(s) or song title(s) anyone?!



"Lord, how many times do I have to use this tanning salon just because TPTB want me to change my look? I thought the new hair style would have been enough!"

orthopedic bed my ass!

Excuse me? It's 102F degrees under all these lights and I'm naked as a jay bird laying on top of a piece of foam, covered with bubble wrap. My bum keeps sticking to the plastic and you expect me to look relaxed?

I love that outtake! I wish it was put on the Region 1 disks! We're always left out when it comes to outtakes.
