Coming and Going …
Well here she is once again
Back for a super Season Ten
The boys are here, Danny, Teal’c and Cam
And someone new (let’s hope she’s not a ham)
Where it all will go is still uncertain
“What do we do with Sam?” left the fans hurtin’
We hope the writers did learn their lesson
And with Sam’s character they stop a messin’
Sam’s looking good and feeling strong
At the head of SG-1 is where she belongs
Loyal fans know that Sam is legit
A certain macho male seems counterfeit
If they don’t restore Sam’s command
We hope they do lend the new guy a hand
Send him to school to learn how to lead
Right now he seems like he may be on speed
Sam really likes him as a kid brother
But can she trust him as she did another?
Her former CO with eyes so brown
Could make a joke but was not a clown
Jack was what a leader should be
Mature, resourceful and, yes, humility
Taking care of those in his charge
In Sam’s eyes, he always stood large
From him she learned how to pull her own weight
Each time the four of them went through the Gate
They’d fight and talk and walk and run
It was one for all and all for one
Those were the best eight years of Carter’s career
By year eight Jack stayed on the base and he let her steer
He taught her well and Sam passed the test
Showing that she, indeed, could lead the rest
AT was just getting settled into her new role
When a personal event put Sam Carter on hold
Instead of writing Sam as gone but not dismissed
TPTB took Season Nine and gave it a twist
The new guy was crowned as king of the show
Sam Carter in charge just had to go
Motherhood loomed and she had to wait
To return to the set, return to the Gate
When Amanda came back to play Sam
She may have felt like she had been on the lam
The season already moving into episodes 6 and 7
She had to jump in and take what was given
It was a good gig and she got back her groove
Sam Carter belonged and made the right moves
Yet something was missing and it didn’t seem right
That sense of command and a team that hung tight
Yes, it was a blending, of course not a Tok’ra
They were learning a new dance, the old one was over
The rhythm was off but the beat still went on
The fans were still hanging around, hoping for fun
New villains and characters came into our midst
The Priors and Orii and chubby Nerus
Season Nine sped on by and now almost gone
Some battles were lost, some battles were won
Sam Carter grew into a leader, a chief
She rose to the top if only so brief
Why can’t we see her as that once again
Now that we’re getting her back in S10?
