I think there were some words gone awry in there, PR, but I think I caught your drift. In any event, wasn't it the case that O'Neill was NOT a pilot when the series began, then he suddenly had pilots wings later on? (Whereas dialogue in the very first episode established that Carter was indeed a pilot, even if the props department got it wrong.)

What, you mean that the props department made a mistake?
Really?
I don't believe it.
But yes, Sam most def. a pilot (which makes perfect sense given her ambitions)... and for Jack. Well, I bet he learnt how to fly by just hanging out with Sam. She's soo smart it can literally rub off on people. (what, it could you know. Why do you think McKay can actually make an intuitive decision now? It's all Sam )

Originally posted by DeevilSpoiler:But you have to remember production costs. This isn't a blockbuster movie. At some point they will have to show Mitchell on a moving bike, if for no other reason then so we know it's Mitchell.
Yes there are ways around it - but in the end we don't know what the hell is going on...
Yup they can. Hense why I said if Ben was not to have this clause, it is likely because he has previous experience with a bike. \
TBH I am curbing my righteous indignation here because I don't know exactly what Sam is doing at the time, whether or not Mitchell kills the bike (well it could happen). I try not to get annoyed over things I don't have enough info about.
But if I were to make my choice, it would be Sam on that bike. No if's and no but's.
I know there are many things that the actors can't do. Amanda has said she's had to give up certain things and isn't suppose to do things like white water rafting (though she does it anyway). And I recall Joe Flanigan saying he had to give up mountain climbing.
Didn't Amanda say that she did all the horse back riding in Emancipation? I know she has experience riding a horse, but how is sitting on a motorcycle any more dangerous than riding a horse? I just don't understand that concept.

Spoiler:you know what i think translates this discomfort more than any other moment? in 'off the grid' (ep where mitchell goes undercover as a drug dealer); when mitchell is arguing with everyone and just decides to go and be the lead drug dealer... when he walks away, and sam, daniel, and teal'c are just left standing there with no real way of stopping this... *that's* what was wrong with the so-called new team. i felt that sam, daniel, and teal'c *wouldn't* have put up with something like this even in season 8. it was all written around mitchell being the leader and 'the man', even though sam, daniel, and teal'c were bent and warped to fit around mitchell being lead. it wasn't a team, it was s/d/t being lead around by the writers desire to marysue themselves into the show/to death.

Hey! I can be optimistic too! Then my realistic side kicks in and I usually get a smack in the head-

Originally posted by ForeverSg1I may be wrong in my assumption here, but I could have sworn I read somewhere that Amanda owned a motorcycle. I thought she said that during The Curse scene when she was working on the Indian she really wanted to take it out for a spin, but the owner of the motorcycle wouldn't even let her sit on it.sigpic

I dunno, I would actually be curious as to know exactly what stunts insurance covers for these guys. But since we'll never know, we get left with the tid bits from interviews. And last I heard Sam couldn't ride a bike because insurance didn't cover it.Disclaimer: All opinions stated within this post are relevant to the author herself, and do not in any way represent the opinions of God, Country, The Powers That Be or Greater Fandom.

Originally posted by ParadoxRealitiesthank you for catching it, it can be illusive at times. wings? i don't remember wings. parachutist and space/missile. mast both, i think. but not pilot. and i don't remember dialogue in CotG showing sam was a pilot. if you mean this: "Carter: Colonel, I logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?" it doesn't say she piloted, just that she was there. she could have done any number of other things.
on a side note, isn't it about time sam became a master space/missile? come on guys, keep your years straight.
CARTER: Yes.
____________
does this, coupled with the logging over 100 hours bit count as evidence that she's a pilot? or could this mean she did something else too? (not snarky or sarcastic, i'm actually asking)
