We're kinda saying the same thing, I think. It is all about how you ask sensitive questions. But she does expect them...so a balance must be achieved.
So whereas it's important for her fans to know we're upset as to how things have played out so far, it's equally important for her to know that we love and support her regardless.
Great points!
Everyone going to Shore Leave---have a wonderful time!!
i couldn't agree more with your post, and especially the bolded part.

See the way I figure it is that the leadership issue is a hot topic for her character...so it's almost a foregone conclusion that the topic is going to be raised by somebody.
I just hope that whoever raises it (and I'm not saying that it will be or has to be a Samandan or asking that it be so ) does it with the level of dignity and support of which Kat and Spaz and everyone else is speaking.
...You're ALWAYS Welcome in Samanda: Amanda's Community of New Fans and Old Friends...
Off the topic can anyone tell me where to find a vid that is Sam video I think the person who made called it the Kmart song?? I just loved it and lost it during a hard drive crash?
Well, it wasn't my idea but the management thought this would be the perfect souvenir for Shore Leave attendees ... A whole bunch of Samandans are coming and the Inner Harbor will never be the same.
This way, if they fall in the water, at least they'll float ...
Have a terrific time one and all, take pictures and bring back stories!
See, AT playing Uncomfortable Sam is always fun(ny) to watch, but in this case, I just think it was too damaging to a character that was already marginalized last season.
Anyone who was just watching the show at S9 would have thought that:
1.) Sam had some sort of sexual (or, at the very least, romantic) relationship with Orlin.
While they were trying to lean that way, the two never did more than walk in a park together. And he went glowy on her. And I believe Sam cared about him, of course. But that's as far as it got. Unfortunately, thanks to the writing, it seems like there was much more to "Ascension" than there was.
and
2.) There was a possibility that Sam still had feelings for Teen Orlin.
Instead of having her set them straight - therefore setting newcomers straight - they had her almost justify what she "had" with him. Her awkwardness, I think, could've easily been misconstrued as more than simple embarassment over past deeds. It could've been interpreted as embarassment over feelings she still had. The fact that they wrote Landry/Lam looking so smug over the prospects, and Sam being on the opposite side of the room looking/sounding almost sheepish was just ridiculous.
It was making a joke out of something that didn't happen, it was making false suggestions about a character and it was all for a cheap laugh. "See! He's a boy! And she was 'intimate' with him a few years ago! And he's back! Haha! Funny, eh?"
I'm just sick of them rewriting history/canon with sick humor.
Thanks for the post. I really hadn't thought of it that way. I retract my previous comments. Too much damage was done to Sam in s9.
i made a request on the amanda voting thinger (tm) about someone making a sam vid of nothing but sam's greatest battle/fighting scenes. it would be neat if the music behind it was either classical or rock.
