i, basically, just want sam off 'this' show. while the season premier was good, i'm never going to accept the changes that have been made because the changes have permanently retarded sam's growth as a person and soldier. so let her go into another venue (still as sam carter) that'll let her GROW. or least acknowledge the 8 years of growth that she'd already achieved.
while i kind of like (since i don't watch) her going to command at atlantis, i'm afraid we wouldn't be doing much better since brad wright runs the show. i've read too much complaining about that show to think he's any better at handling a stargate show that cooper. and besides, i *really* didn't like what he had to say in his interview on gateworld.
so let someone else write this new sam carter vehicle. and, for me, i'd choose robert tapert. he did xena, warrior princess. and before anyone complains, if you haven't seen the show (and i mean 'really' seen it), you have no idea how WONDERFULLY he can write female characters. xena was one, if not, THE most incredibly strong female character i've ever seen portrayed. she was, basically, a mass murder, so anyone that could make a show about a character like that, AND make you LOVE her... rob tapert is the one i'd choose.
i'd LOVE a ship based show. or space based? but have sam the commander of her own ship. i've always loved space/ship based shows, and i think, by the amount of eps on stargate that highlight it, i think it's a popular theme to write. so let sam lead all the way!!!!!!!!!!
btw, i watched 'flesh and blood' again last night. i did a LOT of fastforwarding (all the vala/adria stuff and the teal'c tortured stuff), but i watched the rest. i'm more happy about them toning mitchell down than the actual ep.
my same whining, but stargate sg1 should have been sam, daniel, and teal'c as THE stars. the show didn't *need* another LEADING MAN. it didn't need a LEAD at all, since amanda, michael, and chris were just fine and dandy in that spot for the two years that rda reduced his time. can you imagine how much happy most of the fans would be? ms fans would be happy because they could say that ms was the leading man. amanda fans would be happy because she would still be leading the team. and these three stars *who did their time* deserve that kind of recognition and respect. and if that three person team was such a dismal idea, then how come the ratings for season 8 were better than season 9? rda leaving didn't have *that* much of an impact on the ratings...
i'm sorry i keep repeating myself, but this is a wound that won't heal and keeps scapping over. (and i won't go into ~here~ how utterly disappointed i am in the s/j ship *still* being dock in a holding cell)
i hope i didn't bring anyone down with my post.

Gabit gave me my first taste of Amanda - doh! that certainly didn't come out like I intended! Anyway now that I've been bitten by the Amanda bug, I've become a con addict. I'd follow her just about anywhere. Her Q & A's are like a wonderful little comedy routine that keep me giggling the entire time.
