Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[SG1Poz]

So many great Sam moments! It's hard to fulfill Tracy's challenge.

I love the Sam who was willing to die with Cassie rather than leaving her to die alone in Singularity.

I love the Sam who comforted and protected Jack in the arctic, when they found the second stargate in Solitudes.

I love the Sam who showed a whole society what a woman's worth is in Emancipation.

I love the Sam who helped her father to understand her work and helped save his life in The Tok'ra.

I love the Sam who figured out how to get everyone home in 1969.

I love the Sam who worked so hard to get Jack back in A Hundred Days.

I love the Sam who told Jack to leave her behind in Upgrades (and I love Jack for not doing it!).

I love the Sam who was free to express her love in Beneath the Surface.

I love the Sam who helped Orlin in Ascension.

I love the snarky "secret agent" Sam from Nightwalkers.

I love the brave Sam in Metamorphosis.

I love the adventurous Sam from Space Race.

I love the Sam who tried to come to terms with her life in Grace.

I love the Sam who fought so hard for her life in Death Knell.

I love the Sam who stood up to Fifth in New Order.

I love the Sam who came to terms with her life and her future in Threads.

So, what's not to love?

Wow.. That is Sam in a nutshell ! I agree with every line above and would like to add:

I love Sam for using her intelligence when needed but not in a condenscending way. She treats others as her equal.

Just thought I'd say kudos on the list since it won't let me give out any more green tonight.

Awww, look at Geek!Sam. She feels left out of the love.

So I'm going to say that I love geek Sam, cos she shows us that each of us, no matter how small, timid and no matter how useless we feel inside (just look at Geek!Sam), she shows us that if we just take that initiative, use the opportunities we've been given, we can make a difference!

Yay, Geek!1speed loves Geek!Sam too!!!

[Tracy Jane]

If anyone hasn’t read the 2-part AT interview that David did that are up on GW's home page, I highly recommend it. I just finished reading the 2nd part of the interview. As I said over in the interview thread - all I can really say is that it affirms my faith in her vision of the character she plays and reaffirms the impression I've gotten of her as a wonderful, warm & witty person, not to mention an actress teeming with talent! From my reading of the interview, it seems that her vision of/for the character doesn’t seem so far off from many of ours and she seems to share so many of the concerns that we do for the character’s present and future.

It was a wonderful read; one I really, really enjoyed. And I truly do appreciate AT’s graciousness to have answered so many questions so honestly and directly.

And if you are lurking….. (You do??!!! ) ((((AT))))) We lurve you, we really, really do! Thanks for bringing Sam to life for us! (And welcome to the wild-n-crazy world of fandom! )

there was something she said that caught my attention. about how the house they were in now was really small and that olivia is sleeping in thier room and i'm wondering, did they move? did they finally give up on renovating their other house?

i'm not meaning to pry, just wondering. i know that she used to have a house that overlooked the ocean because she had an ocean kayak and when don davis got married, she said that she hung a congratulations banner off their balcony/deck and they saw it from the water

so i was just wondering if something happened iwth their 'papa smurf on crack' house

Weird, I was thinking the same thing when I read the interview. Although it could actually be the same house. I remember reading an interview where she said it was their first house so it may have always been small. Typically people who do not have have children do not buy huge houses for their first house. I know the house we live in now seemed huge to my husband and I until we added two kids and a dog to the picture. Now we're in the process of buying a larger one. My daughter slept in our room the first year as well. I'm not sure if it was my protective nature or laziness on my part, but it was just easier having her bed next to me when I had to nurse during the night.

Couldn't resist captioning this...

Amanda: I don't know if I'll ever learn to sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" correctly.

Ah, Geeky Carter, the Best Carter of all the Alternate Realities.

Sam: You're right--that Norelco is a better shaver.

What they might be thinking:

RDA: I love this job.
AT: He's so cuddly.
MS: Why doesn't she ever put her head on *my* shoulder?
CJ: Little do those guys know I get to hug her all the time. Ha!
