Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[majorsal]

Since the WSL thread is pulled again, my second official 1000th post is here! Weeeee - it's like being stuck in a lift that's got a mind of its own - up down, up down!

LOL!

okay, who what happened now?

ps - i couldn't remember how to 'strike out' a word, so i went to a couple of threads that i remembered using it and went through post after post until i could find one that used it (and hit reply to see the ingredients, so to speak)... i thought the word used was 'slash', or ''stick' or some 's' word.

Hi gang! I need some info, and I know that if anyone would know, it would be you all. How old would Sam's mom have been when she

Spoiler:

died in the car accident

and what age was Sam at that time? I looked around and am getting vaugue answers, also if anyone knows her mom's name...don't know if it was ever mentioned. Thanks, hugs.

spoilers for s10's ep, 'the shroud'

Spoiler:

i'm sure anyone that's read the spoilers for 'the shroud', knows that something horrible 'might' have happened to daniel... i say might, because the teaser spoiler might have been misleading and daniel might be undercover (hope not; i'm yearning for some REAL drama to happen on this show). anyhoo, i have a slight whine i want to share with you guys, concerning this scenario...

here michael wanted to spend some time with his family (wife gave birth to their newest child not long ago). so, ms asks for some time off, which becomes 4 eps he's going to miss in s10.

amanda was on maternity leave at the beginning of s9, which become 5 eps she missed.

ms -as it seems- was given a HUGE storyline to cover his time off.

amanda was given the storyline that she was helping cassie and working at area 51. and when she came back, it was with the big tadoo of a 'wee *yawn* we're glad you're back *yawn again*'.

why couldn't the writers have given sam a huge storyline too?

i've wondered if the writers wondered when amanda would actually be back. would five weeks of maternity leave be enough for her? and when she came back, would she be in the condition to handle those long hours again? so i'm wondering if sam's ho-hum return and time on screen was actually the writers giving 'amanda' the time she needed to recuperate from childbirth and handle a new baby?... i hope that's it, and not because sam carter was fazed out of the new and improved fargate.

this entire post (this part at least) is basically me whining about the spoilers for 'the shroud'. while -as a fan- i'm intrigued on what they're going to do to daniel (and i'm hoping it's dark and not whitewashed), and also a bit jealous that sam hasn't been given something this meaty too.

BUT, amanda seemed to be really jazzed for things in s10, so...

k, i'm going to give you my wish for s10 and the future. i don't think i need spoilers, but i'm going to put them in anyways.

spoilers for s10

Spoiler:

here's what i want, as a sam fan and s/j shipper.

i want the second half of s10 to go in a certain direction. first, i want to either have it show that sam and jack are already married, or that they're going in that direction. second, i want things to start going in a direction that it's becoming apparent that the spinoff is going to be sam focused. and i want it that sam is given command of a starship (with a stargate 'on' it). if s10 is the same as s9 -mitchell, vala, daniel/vala- i think i want sam as far from this show as humanly possible.

so s10 ends with us knowing that sam and jack are together, and that sam's transferring off of sg1 to command her own ship. the new show - Stargate: Phoenix - will center around sam commanding, with her supporting cast a cast of newbies. the basis of the story is the Phoenix travels to other galaxies, but also can stay in our galaxy because of its own stargate on board. LOTS of potential for action/mission storylines, while still keeping the interpersonal relationships aspect of the show. you know, like stargate sg1 used to be like.

why am i talking so much?

okay, typing.

thoughts? feelings? itches?

I think they could have come up with a better story arc for Sam. Or maybe they didn't have time to come up with anything great b/c they thought S8 was going to be the last. Who knows. BUT I am glad Sam's not being turned into a prior. That would make me VERY VERY mad. I just don't like the Ori storyline much at all.

I am a S/J shipper as well and definitely want them to finally get together. I would love a new series with Sam as the lead and for TPTB to give her better character arcs again(like Jolinar, Replicater etc.)

I would say that Sam was around thirteen or fourteen when her mom died, but it's difficult to tell. As far as her mom's age goes, since I see Mark as being a few years older than Sam, she was probably in her mid to late thirties when she died, maybe a little older.

sam's mom has no canon name

any of jack's family
mark's wife and kids
teal'c's mom

OK Thanks. I appreciate the help.

Congrats Tracy!!!!

So I guess your college goes longer than it does here in the US. My semester was finished a month ago. I kept wondering why people were talking about exams in June!

Anyway, I'm glad you're out! I will be in December.

Spoiler:

i LOVE something big and juicy to happen to/with sam!, but... with how the 'don't know what to do with sam' (tm) ... i'd be afraid they'd use this controversial storyline to take sam out of the equation.

Spoiler:

That's a good idea; use Sam's new show as a way of exploring elements of her history with SG-1 - Jolinar was somewhere between five hundred and two thousand years old, so there's plenty of potential there and there could be Replicators in galaxies other than ours.

Well, if they do, she can just waltz over to her new show! All Sam, all the time!

I know Sky will probably smite me for my off topicness, but the bar is now open to celebrate the fact that I have FINISHED MY DEGREE!!!!! I find out in two weeks or so what my final result is, but for now, no work, no more exams, no assignments and no alcohol. Whoops. Scrap the last one. I may have been secretly supping tonight

WooHoo Congrats TJ now it's time to open the Royal Bar!

The thing about the shroud that was the first thought out of my head was okay - MS is already out for 4 eps and now he will be sepaarted from the team AGAIN and for how many eps - is this TPRTS way of having a 4 person team? Seems to me they will do anything to keep the team apart . . . The second thing I thought was - wow this is a pretty big spoiler to let out of the bag like that so my thought is he is undercover or this is some big scam just to get something positive going on the threads since spoilers for msot of the other eps are being creamed with criticism.

Also, I was curious about the die-hard Daniel fans (since quite a few here seem to be liking this spoiler) and at "other forums" the Shroud is not going over well at all with the die-hards - they do not seem to hold a lot of good thoughts or feelings for this episode and where TPRTS will take it or Daniel.

Are they Ford-ifying him? In preparation of the "we dont need no stinking old characters" Cam and Vala show?

Teal'c is already wallpaper and I am just praying Sam escapes somplace\anyplace before they complete her character assasination. Hmm, Atlantis for Carter is looking better and better every day. Heck thats even where Oneill will be (and I am not even a shipper)

Thank you Mandy, L.A.Doyle and CG. I was about to call you CGI then, CG, oh dear. Must stop drinking those Hobbit and Sci Fi themed cocktails. They mess with your brain.
