HAPPY CANADA DAY

I have to say I love how you guys are so patriotic! Most people in England don't even know when St George's Day is, nevermind celebrate it! *Begins to chant to national anthem* Woo, Go England!!!! (I'm watching the England/Portugal football match now just in case you thought I'd lost my mind )

Happy Canada Day!

Back on topic,

Spoiler:

do we know any more about this wedding dress rumour for S10?

What don't we know about it?

Spoiler:

We know that there's a wedding in episode 200 that brings a tear to Walter's eye. We know that Amanda wears a wedding dress, and we know that there is Sam/Jack ship, but it's a tease. Kinda speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Ok happy Canada day at first hooray hooray


Ok and now a question for all you guys... ok it is maybe a silly one but still... it would help me a lot.
I want to make a music vid about Samantha Carter now my question is wher does she looks kind and smiles and really lovely?
I know a few but I really need a lot of them so...if anyone can help me out that would be great

Wow. When I posted this link last Saturday afternoon, I had no idea it would catch on. Amanda was in 39th place and losing ground. I couldn't stand to see that happen, so I called in reinforcements. I was scared people would get upset, that they wouldn't appreciate me posting a link to a 'silly poll'. I thought a few votes would trickle in- but I was WRONG! In a good way, of course. Around 5 p.m. Saturday June 24th(central standard time) Amanda had maybe 2,500 votes, give or take. By 2 a.m. Saturday July 1st at the close of the poll, she had reached the 8th spot with almost 24,000 votes(23,993 to be exact).

Not long after the link was up, other fans posted it on other sites. Soon, not only were Samandans voting, AT.com was there as well as a host of other AT fans. We were coming together to support our girl.

I wonder if Amanda will ever know about the party we threw in her honor. And what a party it was! We had videos-many thanks to our VJs!!! We had guess the quote and even chatted using episode names. We talked about Amanda-when we first saw her and just generally how great she is-all while click click clicking away.

We were SO positive the whole time. We knew AT/SC would never dodge a challenge, and we weren't either. Amanda fans are some dedicated people! We had folks from all over the world-from Australia to Belgium to the UK to all across America and Canada-voting day and night for her. People went without sleep, recruited family and even neighbors, and voted on multiple computers within their homes(great exercise by the way). Mandy's cat was even on the verge of learning how to use a mouse!

AT is generous and so are her fans. We helped out other voters that needed a hand. How many of us knew who Lacuna Coil was before this week? And how many more people know about Amanda Tapping thanks to her fans' hard work?

Probably the most touching thing about the voting was how we reached out to RDA. We had made our goal, and realistically couldn't make the next place with only a few hours left. Some of us alternated votes, some posted links at RDA sites, some voted exclusively for RDA. At any rate, we stayed ahead and managed to give RDA the boost he needed. In the last 30 minutes we even bumped Michael Shanks up a notch. AT fans are giving, like Amanda herself!

So maybe Amanda didn't get #1, but you know what? Moving from 39th to 8th in such a short time was a far greater feat than those that placed above us, who had been sitting securely in their places for weeks. What an amazing show of love and devotion by AT fans! Not just any actress has such an amazing fan base- and the fan base is only as amazing as the actress. Her forum was a party 24/7-nowhere else I went had such constant fan support.

Sure, it was just a fun poll. TPTB might not ever see it and nothing may ever come out of it. That's too bad, really. We love Sam Carter the same, if not more, than we did 10 years ago. They should see we still cherish such a wonderful character, played by an equally amazing woman. This was such a morale booster and a great way to get the word out about Amanda! Next month I say we get her to #1! She deserves that spot-and I am being 100% honest about that. I have never seen a better actress...not in the movies and not on TV. She's top notch, classy, a gem, shall I keep going?

I want to take a moment to thank EVERYONE that voted. You didn’t have to, yet you spent your time and effort to do it. We probably have crooks in our necks and cramps in our fingers, but what a ride! Not only did we spend the last week promoting our favorite actress, but as AT fans, I think we grew closer. We all worked together towards a common goal. It was great fun, and I hope to see you around next month.

Amanda, we at Samanda-and all your fans-want you to know we love you! This wasn't much, but it was a small way to say thanks for all the time you've spent on the show, for what you've done for us. In the end, Lizlove said it best:

Changing the world one smile at a time...

Thanks Amanda.

Thanks for putting it in such a fantastic way. What a ride. I had a great time advancing Amanda up the list. I hardly left my computer Thursday through Friday nite. A few hours of sleep Thursday and none on Friday until it was ended. I will probably sleep well tonight.
Amanda rocks.

Ah but

Spoiler:

what about the whole AU cop-out (no pun intended BTW ) or the, oh, zillion other things TPTB like to put us through without actually ever committing fully to the real, non-alternate/clone/robot Sam/Jack ship? Nah, not until a) I see it with my own eyes or b) I get told as much by a fellow S/Jer who has actually seen it. In the words of Jack O'Neill "I'm not fallin' it this time!"

[Mandysg1]

Woohoo! Happy Canada Day! What do you do on Canada Day anyway?

Thanks, and we do the same things you guys do on the 4th of July except we drink Canadian beer I love that the cities of Windsor( Canada) and Detroit (USA) celebrate together, they have fireworks over the Detroit River and the party starts on July1 and ends on July 4th, see that's what close neighbours do

Spoiler:

Well, that was my point. 200 is a throwaway episode. The wedding will be some sort of fantasy sequence, you know when they are suggesting plot lines for Wormhole Xtreme. I really, truly doubt that the wedding will be real. Although, I'd absolutely *love* it if, at the end of the series, we had Colonel O'Neill leading SG1. Colonel Sam O'Neill, that is

[Coley]

we're getting Amanda close to number 1 again.

So AM is the game good to watch? I'm listening to it!!

[Coley]

Happy Canada Day to all Canadians!!

Urm, how about in 'Forsaken' when ... Andrew? Adam? Adrian? Whoever, the slimeball, hits on on Sam? I recall her smiling before telling him to back off. And how about 'Proving Ground' when Sam and Jack are eating jello in the commissary? Or anytime Sam talks to Barrett when he's not hitting on her? When Sam's on the "red phone" to Jack in 'Citizen Joe'. I'm trying not to include the obvious ones.

Just in case

Spoiler:

That would be very confusing if it was a plot for 'Wormhole X-Treme' since neither Sam nor Jack are actually in that show! :s

OMG Rooney just got red carded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I know... Beckham injured and Rooney on a red card! I can't believe how *happy* I am! One of the guys at work was teasing me, saying how much better England are than my team (Germany). So now they don't stand a change: no Beckham (in this match), Owen is gone and Rooney is off. Ok, I'm not sure Germany can beat Italy, but who cares?!

Anyway, keeping this on topic, the wholse 200 episode is going to be confusing and Amanda is No1 on that Celeeb website.

[AmberLM]

Amanda is No1 on that Celeeb website.

Woo hoo! Way to go everyone! Blue jell-o all round! Now all we need to do is keep her there!

I have no idea who Nathan Fillion is, but I feel a bit bad about RDA. I might vote for him a bit once we are secure. I think he's close to moving up a place.

I don't know this Nathan person either. Now that we're in a new month I'm throwing in votes for all of the Big 4 plus Don S. Davis. Don's not a heart throb , but I do love Emphasis on AT and RDA though.
