    Hi all! While the threads and forums and chatrooms buzz with the news of AT's wonderful new baby, I just wanted to post a reminder about the Season 8 poll - don't forget to vote!

    And - please post your Season 8 episode Sam highlights! I have NearlyCircular's , Tara3583's , UberSG1Fan's , chocdoc's , majorsal's and AgentDark's ... Still waiting for several more (hint, hint... )

    I'd also like to ask folks to repost their Season 8 pics and screen caps... Earlier in the thread, NC and Kat and Uber, and probably some other folks, posted some of their favorite Season 8 snapshots and screen caps and dialogue... I started to go back to see if I could find them, but we've posted so much that I didn't get far. So if you folks could post links to your pics, or links to your earlier posts... then I can include them in the Season 8 summary. That includes your wonderful audio clips, NC!

    -----------

    Here are the GW brief Season 8 episode summaries to help jog the memory
    (if your memory is anything like mine.. )

        And congrats, too.

        A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
        "In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
        One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
        resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
        confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
        A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
        The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."

            Oh, I'm sure Alan found it veeeery painful.

            My dear Hubby sacrificed his arm to our first born. I pretty much twisted the muscle right off the bones during labor.... Well, that's his story, and he's stickin' to it.

            9 lbs for a first baby; OUF! That's big.

                  Thanks Astro and SamFan for your nice comments. I've added a link to the S/J shipper thread as well as Congrats Amanda thread. I don't want to irritate anyone by adding it to too many threads. So hopefully these three will be enough.

                        Hmm. What does the "B" stand for?

                        At 9 lbs. 4 oz, I'll go with "Bighonkinbaby".

                        So there you have her in all her glory: Olivia Bighonkinbaby Kovacs.


                        ...You're ALWAYS Welcome in Samanda: Amanda's Community of New Fans and Old Friends...

                          Having a natural delivery for a first baby weighing in at over nine pounds and 22 inches long just adds more to my admiration for Amanda. She is truly amazing! And I bet she had the midwife and support team laughing along with her - way to go!

                          And, MS, you know how much I wanted a little girl for AT also ... so many boys and men in her life ... what a joy for her and Alan and her own momma! I'm especially pleased at the name because I have a granddaughter named Olivia also born in March.

                          What does the "B" stand for? Right now, I'd say "big"!!

                          Hi to everyone - this has to be brief - still out of town and driving back tomorrow - will then post an official Royal Samandan Pronouncement to add to the beautiful Baby Congrats already up here!

                            MGM Tapping Interview Part 1
                            transcript for part 1 transcribed and posted by Morjana

                            MGM Tapping Interview Part 2

                            A couple of excerpts:

                            AT: [Sam's] softened... she started out very didactic, very out to prove herself, in a not so accessible way, I think that she put up a lot of walls, because she's, you know, 'I am a woman and I can do just as well as you can', as oppposed to just settling back and saying 'just see what I'm capable of'... and the writers and producers, to their great credit, have warmed her up. She now has a sense of humor, she's a lot softer, she's not afraid of her femininity so much....

                            As near as I can tell, AT's feelings about this must pretty much stem from that COTG briefing room scene... the 'reproductive organs' spiel, followed by the playing with dolls (Matt Mason), and the challenge to an arm wrestle.... Because after that first episode, I don't think that Sam came across as outspoken and 'in your face' about female equality. In fact, I've been impressed with how the main approach has been one of 'she's just one of the team'. (Well, until we get to Seasons 7 and 8).

                            ---------

                            I really like how AT always emphasizes that she'd like to see more team episodes and more stories that feature the interactions between the members of the team. Go AT!

                            -------


                            AT: And she is now a Colonel, she's a Lt. Col., and we've seen her in command and I'd like to see more of that. I'd like to see her expand on that, you know, see her plan missions and see her follow them through, that kind of thing.

                            All I can say is... I agree! Wholeheartedly! Sam in command!

                            ------------

                            As was stated on another thread, AT sounds congested - I think she had a cold... and she sounds tired... to be honest, she sounds like she's moving at what I'd call a 'normal pace for the rest of us' instead of the normal, bouncy and energetic AT pace. And she doesn't give a lot of big smiles... she looks pretty drained, and I think she needed to spend a couple of days just resting and recuperating. Very nice of her to sit for this interview.
                            .
                            I TRIED to green you, astro, but I couldn't (it *always* happens with you). Just wanted to say thank you!
