Originally posted by astrogeologistI don't think they've ever filmed Sam getting checked out like that before... and they just decided to have fun with it in Moebius ...I don't think she intimidates most of the men that she comes in contact with... in fact, they've shown quite a few of them becoming enamored with her (but not just showing them lustfully checking her out).
Yeah you are right many have been enamoured by her, but by intimidate I meant that her presence alone makes it so most men don't 'check her out' so obviously as they did with AT Sam. The only time I recall seeing anything like this happen was in Emanipation when all the guys were like goo-goo eyed over her in the blue dress. AT's response to that was cool. I really think I could see Carter slugging one of the guys if they did that today. hehe
I haven't seen Moebius yet, but seeing those pics makes me want to hug our (((((Sam)))))! Frumpy and beige and nerdy... poor Sam! But it does sound like the cast and many of the fans had great fun with the nerdy caricatures.
OK, and I just have to say it... I like her hair in the pics you got from Moebius.... that is, I like it a *lot* better than the hair our Sam had in Season 7! I have posted screen caps from Death Knell and Grace, but have had a hard time getting screen caps that I like from the other episodes... because I really don't like the spent-a-week-in-a-desert-sandstorm-and-then-just-got-electrocuted-hairstyle. I don't think this hairstyle looks good on anyone... poor Uma Thurman, too! I know it's 'all the rave'... I know it's the latest 'style'... but it's the first hairstyle that I think makes Sam/AT look tired (and older).
I like her hair in some episodes in season seven, but it definitely was on the wilder side. It wasn't my favorite hairstyle for Sam but I still think I liked it better than her season six haircut (it was much too butch looking for me). Amanda has such an on-screen presence, you can look past the hair and still see her inner beauty shine through...especially if she is smiling.
I really like Sam's hair and makeup in season eight, both look really natural to me. I like all the promo and photoshoot pictures of AT, but in all honesty I prefer to see her with less make-up. I think too much make-up just hides AT/Sam's natural beauty. I'm really glad they got away from the bright red lipstick. My absolute favorite picture of AT is when she hosted the Gemini awards in 2002, she's absolutely stunning in it.
Many folks have commented on Sam's hair throughout the thread as we've discussed episodes throughout the various seasons.... and I have refrained from commenting, because I liked just about every hairstyle Sam/AT had over the years. And when we played our screen-cap 'Guess The Episode' game, I was surprised when folks were narrowing down the seasons based on the hairstyle... I, um, didn't know the hairstyles-to-seasons well enough to do that.
I liked it when it was really short, but I liked it when it was a bit longer in Seasons 1 and 2 as well. I've always thought it looked best when it was cut well and then fell naturally and yet didn't get in her face (she's a soldier)... but this deliberately-sticking-out-all-over-style leaves me wincing. I also think that the hairstyle of Season 7 will 'date' the show when folks watch reruns 5-10 years from now. Kind of like the beehive hairdos and mini-skirts really date the original Star Trek series.
OK, there... I said it... ...

I think AT did it on purpose for ATSam, but I think there were a few times when she sort of slipped out of character with Sam. You could definitely see her slip between characters when we were watching Sam on the tape. My 13yr old kept asking me 'Whats up with all the faces Carter and Daniel are making'?? Man they are really freaky looking! Its pretty obvious they were both trying to go over the top with the whole geeky bit.

I wonder if I could ask my hairstylist for that particular cut...? She always asks me, "What do you want?" I always say, "I don't know. Just get it out of my eyes!"
My least favorite AT hairstyle was in Season 5, around Desparate Measures time. Couldn't tell you why, but I prefer her hair a little longer.

Kick Arse Carter Scene:
Emancipation, the knife fight with the Shavadai
FIAD, Sam and AT-4 = Dead Jaffa Staff Emplacement
Endgame, Takes down the bad guy with her hands tied behind her back
The Warrior, She's a bloody good shot with that P-90
Best AT Acting Episode:
Heroes, Great range of emotions from AT.
Gemini, AT plays evil sooo good
Jolinars Memories/TDYK, Especially her flashbacks. But the whole thing was great.
Moebius, Geek!Sam - lol
Grace, I'd say one of her best performances yet
Best AT Acting Scene:
Singularity, The elevator when she refuses to leave Cassie
In the Line of Duty, Scene at the end with Cassie. (and any scene where they Goa-uld AT's voice. She sounds pretty cool like that )
Character Development:
In the Line of Duty
The Tokra
Grace
Carter Humor:
Moebius, Any scene with Geek!Sam
Urgo, Walking down the hallway and Sam tells Urgo off for being rude
Ascension, When Jack and Teal'c show up at her house - "I can understand why you might have assumed I didn't have plans..." rofl!
Best Carter Lines:
Maybourne, you're an idiot every day of the week...
You didn't think the Colonel had a telescope on his roof just to look at the neighbours did you?
Ummm, how about anytime she speaks?
AT Adlib:
Uh, I'm not sure if some of these are actually adlibs though...
Took us 15 years and 3 supercomputers to MacGyver one of these...
Maybourne, you're an idiot...
Sam Whumping:
New Order, Fifth mentally torturing her.
Jolinars Memories/TDYK, The pain stick, and Aphosis

Within the Serpent's Grasp/The Serpent's Lair, Season1 ender, Season2 opener. Great all-round team action.
Icon, leading the assualt on the rebel held bunker.

Now, missy, you are really on a roll with your photoshop manipulations ... very strategic placement of the Maple Leaf! Oh, Canada!!
Suggestion: if you move AT's shot to far right, she will be "looking at" Daniel! And probably singing "Oh say can you see ..."Last edited by ChopinGal; 22 March 2005, 04:31 PM.

However, in Moebius, I kept seeing some Molly Shannon creep in ... the facial and hand gestures and body language ... Amanda must have loved reading a script like this which let her cut loose and show a face we rarely get to see with serious, scientist Sam.
