It was really funny...didn't fid it dark or anything just funny... maybe cause the song is rather funny

Originally posted by NibikkoThank you! *G* I'm so glad you liked my vid! I love that song and I have been formulating how it would go so well with those two eps for a while now. When Sam is forced to drink the Blood of Sokar... wow. I thought her acting was superb there and made the torture seem so very convincing. Pus... how cute was Sam with her dad at the end? I love those little moments with her and Jacob that truly establish a father daughter bond.

And if we are talking about torturing how about when she is tortured in New Order... there you can see how scared she is and that she really is in a lot of pain... I like that scene

Originally posted by RepliCartertjeyeah true but still Sam do want to see her dad I guess so maybe sometime he let her know where she is and she go and visit them... Or doesn't she. Otherwise I find it sad that she barely see her dad.Originally posted by RepliCarterjeyeah the end is really cute, but I really liked the hole episode of it (well the two episodes)

Originally posted by Tracy JaneYea, they're not bad, but some of the pics have been airbrushed beyond recognition, unfortunately. I looked at one of them and went "huh? Are they the stand ins?"
It just saddens me that the promo pictures have the characters, imo especially Vala and Teal'c, looking so unrecognizable.
CJ looks...just really odd. Not at all his normal, attractive self. And CB looks so plastic, especially in the CB only pictures. IMO a disservice to the actress.
AT managed the best, I think, out of all of them. She looks the most natural. And I agree with whoever said it. She needs no airbrushing. (Niether, imo, did CB.) BB got the brush treatment too, and it's unfortunate because I thought he would have looked better without. They all, with the exception of AT, seems so plastic.

I read somewhere (something to the effect) that she doesn't like torture scenes because she's afraid she'll look stupid, but that her philosophy is that she just has to go with it and not worry about how it looks. In the commentary for New OrderSpoiler:(if I'm remembering right) I think Gary Jones asks if she was really crying & the director said yeah & that it was a difficult scene for her esp. with the crew all around etc, but how great a job she did.

Originally posted by minigeekYeah, AD, you're so right. It's been over a year since I've watched that particular scene, but you make a really valid point. I didn't see that the first couple of times I watched. I really got caught up in that long, intense look because it was so different (for them). And I also equated it with Sam putting off any and all question or wondering about Jack's motivation until after they followed his lead to the very end. Pure faith in his leadership. So much happened in there, and then at the end of it all, once that leader-guy was dead and they were back, everything she hadn't said until that point came tumbling out in a single look. Now that you put it into the perspective of the life that was lost, I can see it even more powerfully. It's even better. Just a fabulous moment. I need to go watch it again, I think!
Here are some photos from Other Side. They are quite large so I put them in spoilers.

This is one of my absolute favorite scenes and to me it's yet another example of why S9 is so lacking in my opinion without RDA around.
According to an excerpt in the Stargate Illustrated Companion S4-3:
Although he[Brad Wright] agrees that Alar "had it coming", the writer is bothered by one choice Richard Dean Anderson made, which Wright feels made quite a difference to how the ending was viewed. "After he had deliberately closed the iris, knowing he was committing Alar to death, he was supposed to have said, "This is where we came in.' In other words, O'Neill's justification was the Eurondans were mortibund. They were an inch away from their own doom and then we came in and brought them some time. My feeling is that the line would have helped to make the episode more symmetrical but, you know, writers are like that and actors aren't."
Personally, I think the way AT and RDA played that seen at the end without any discussion about what happened was shocking and stunning at the same time. The looks they both give one another left me questioning what they were truly thinking at that moment in time. I seem to recall reading an interview with Amanda where she stated that she tried to play it that Sam being utterly shocked by what O'Neill had just done, but understanding why he had made that decision; although I'm not so sure if Sam really would have done the same if it had been her call. I was just very fascinated with the fact that Brad Wright suggested RDA had that kind of control over an episode. I mean it's not as if BW is just a writer as he suggests. He an EP as well as the show runner. One would think that he would have had a bit more say in the matter if he had truly wanted. Which leads me to suspect after watching S9, that RDA had much more say in the show's editing process than most of us may have realized.Last edited by ForeverSg1; 13 June 2006, 09:34 AM.

Originally posted by minigeekTeal'c is from offworld and they have to let him go see his family (that'd just be cruel otherwise). Carter's got no reason to go except leisure, so it'd be harder for her to get a green light. She'd only get it on the merit of TPTB deciding that she'd earned the right and granting it to her as a special favor on that basis, but given the amount of red-tape-beurocracy that's involved in all government levels, I doubt even the General could realistically give that to her without a lot of creatively convoluted paperwork. If she gated from another planet, she'd be AWOL, and I doubt Carter would do that for a leisure-activity. When Jack "retired" offworld it was a one way trip, ostensibly for good and he (supposedly) called in a few markers to get a yes (but we all know it was an elaborate military setup anyway so we don't know for sure he'd actually have been given permission if it was 'real').

Originally posted by Deejay435She doesn't have to be AWOL to gate from offworld. She could have leave, and choose to take it offworld. If she's not costing the USAF any money, by hitching a wormhole with another team, she removes the financial objection to her Racing. She could use whatever planet the team was going to in order to 'gate to Hebridan, and use the Hebridan gate to get home. No need for Uncle Sam to fork out any cash.

I don't miss RDA's presence as Jack (because I wasn't much of a Jack fan most of the time), but I do miss his presence as a producer.scarimor

Originally posted by minigeekI'm not sure she did. Remember how much money they said it costs every time a team goes through the gate? Knowing how stingy the government would be with money for this kind of thing, I doubt she'd be cleared for a leisure visit, even if she HAS saved the world a hundred times.
