Wow, I had a tie between Daniel and McKay. Don't ask me how I managed that. ROFL. Which is probably more accurate than not. I really find smart men attractive. Big muscles are great for eye candy, but if there's nothing upstairs I tend to loose interest quickly. The question that I really think they should have asked though is if you prefer a man who has a good sense of humor, because that's also a quality that is really important to me. Physically Jack is probably my ideal man, but mentally I probably would have been drawn to Daniel or McKay.

Cool questions! Have to say Amanda.

Not much. Actually, I starting watching SG-1 more often because I liked what Amanda was doing with the character, and that made the series more appealing to me. I didn't know who Amanda was until I made a point to dig into who the "actress who plays Sam Carter" was.

Nope. (Are you deciding which of us needs to be locked up in a padded room? )

Who would you rather meet? Sam Carter (if she were a real person) or Amanda Tapping?
Wow, that's a tough one for me. Off the top of my head I would probably say Amanda. However, when I start thinking about it, I can't decide. Really, it is Sam Carter I know more about, and if she were a real person I would be very intrigued to meet her, given her smarts, her experiences, and her accomplishments. On the other hand, Amanda also fascinates me a lot, given her kindness, the way she cares for her fans, her humor (very intriguing), and her talents and smarts. I think, she too, has accomplished a lot.
Okay, I guess, I can't decide.

Probably quite a bit. But I also think that Amanda's personality bleeds over into my perception of Carter.

I'd like to think that I don't, but given the fact that Amanda has added so much of herself to Carter, and we don't really know how much of today's Carter is Amanda, I guess I might not be able to separate them all the time, without knowing it, though. Does that even make any sense? I mean, I don't think that Amanda IS Carter, if that's what you're asking. I am just wondering how much of Carter is actually Amanda.

Both actually. Sam cause she's so frellin' intelligent and focused. I think it would be a hoot to try an loosen her up some. Not in a bad way...just teach her how to have a little more fun in her life.
Amanda - cause she seems so genuinely kind and affectionate (from what those who've seen/met her have said).
How much of your affection for the character of Sam Carter bleeds over into your perception of Amanda?
Not a lot actually. I see Sam as totally different from Amanda (not to say that Amanda isn't as intelligent as Sam though). I don't see Amanda as that uptight and focused in her down time. Heck I don't really see her as that uptight during her work hours...focused, yes.
Do you ever have a hard time separating the two?
Nope. Sam is a character that Amanda plays.

I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.

Hey, Carson's not so bad. And at least Jack was up there. Well of course, since Jack is my secret TV affair, of course I would think that. (My secret TV boyfriend must never find out.)

Amanda

I think it was actually the other way around for me. I always enjoyed Sam, but it wasn't until after I had seen Amanda in a behind-the-screen special and saw how truly witty and charming she was that I really began to adore Sam as a character.
Do you ever have a hard time separating the two?
No, from what I have seen of Amanda her personality is very different than how I percieve Sam to be.

See, I would argue that Jack is most definately intelligent, but he chooses to hide it. But since this isn't a Jack thread, I won't go into all the details regarding that perception.
As for the question regarding who I would rather meet, Sam or Amanda I'd say Sam because Astrophysics is just way cool. My boss' boss (before I went on indefinate medical leave, ) is engaged to an astrophysicist. I'm very jealous of him.
I don't think my perception of Sam bleeds into Amanda much at all. Though, after all these years, I'd venture to say there is a lot of Amanda in Sam. I've never had the chance to see her in person, but her interviews have given me a chance to see her own personality, outside of Sam.
And no, I don't think I have trouble separating them.
