Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Strix varia]

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.

Hey Whistler... I personally think Sam is pretty unique to science fiction television/movies because she is both a competent soldier and a brilliant scientist. You can probably find other examples of one or the other, but Sam is a pretty unique combination. Not only that, but she's written very much as a scientist... someone who is a "thinker" as opposed to a "feeler." I think women in any genre are usually portrayed as being more emotional, but logic rules Sam, and I think that's a pretty unique trait. How many women can you think of who are portrayed as saving the earth on a routine basis by coming up with scientific solutions?

Plus, I can't think of any other women in science fiction TV/movies who actually inspire young women to go into science like Sam has done.There are a couple of people who have posted on this thread in the past who credit Sam as a role model, responsible for them pursuing science and math in college. Pretty cool, I think.

I was a tad bored this evening so I found myself making more motivational posters.

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?

ROTFLOL, Kat, that caption is awesome. And great posters, too. But, I don't understand, how can you be bored with Avalon being on again???

[Myrth]

Agreed.. I'd love to see the rest of the shoot they did for the wedding pics.

I want to go too... dangnabbit... {grumbles} dumb ocean in the way....

Is there going to be a GABIT next year?

EEEK!! Hadn't thought of that! I guess I'm just used to conventions being yearly events. Oh, well. The only things I have lined up for next year are Conduit and Worldcon. Doubt she would be at either of these.
