Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Qasim]

Jack: "Carter, you told me there were no cameras in that section!!!"

*Base intercom*: "Colonel O'Neill report to General Hammonds office"

[golfbooy]

Anyone else?

I waxed philosophically about Collateral Damage in the episode thread. What bugged me the most was that last scene with Landry. It's not that I begrudge him some decent scenes or development. But I can't help but bemoan the wasted opportunity at the end of this episode for a great scene between Cam and ANY other members of the team. After seeing Carter, Teal'c, and Daniel wasted for the entire episode, here was a chance for real gain to come from Collateral Damage. But instead they went with Landry, leaving Cam as removed from SG-1 as ever.

Qasim. Though I hate to admit it, that caption was genius.

Jack: So that's what Teal'c does when he says he has to Kel'noreem

Quick question: Is "I got nothin'" something Sam would say?

Just call me court pragmatic conspiracy theorist.

Just a Sam who has been influenced by someone she cares for a lot! Remember: TPTB have told us they use mirroring techniques (similar movements) to imply closeness between characters. So, since Jack isn't there right now, this is their way of reminding us that Sam & Jack are still close!

Just sayin.'

Oh, honey, you missed it. It was earlier for you. About six and a half hours ago. Check my Live Journal for a transcript. In my sig.

Jack has said it enough that I and everyone I work with use it on a regular basis. Theoretically Sam spends more time with him then the 1 hour a week we spend with him so yeah it could have rubbed off just like yasureyabetcha.

Ya think? Tee-hee!

Very good point, golfbooy, as I've come to expect from you.

The only thing that really upset me was that after reading in the Gateworld interview that Amanda actually visited the forum, I realised that AT probably sees these anti-carter titles, and it hurts to know that.

it hurts me too, because i don't think she knows the agendas and politics involved. so she prob just thinks some fans hate sam, when in truth there are a few layers of jealousy and 'my character's better than yours!' going on.

amanda, don't take any of it to heart.

Well said, and I hope she visits this thread more and has a good time.

[NearlyCircular]

Sam: It's called slash, and some people seem to think that you and Daniel are, um, fond of each other.
Jack: Turn it off, Carter, turn it off now!

NC with apologies to the Jack/Daniel shippers

But that is my point exactly. If there were trued freedom of speech, we would be able to have interesting and well thought out debates on both threads. Unfortunately a few narrow minded individuals would make this impossible (and I'm sure they exist on both sides of the divide, although I'd like to think they didn't). We'd be seen as squashing their rights by voicing our opinions and creating a defence.

It's such a shame it's all come to this.

And that's the problem. We have free speech, but some people will always abuse it.....or take it beyond the realm of good taste and reasonable discussion. That's why politics get so nasty too!
