Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[L.A. Doyle]

Wow, astro! It was great to see so many positive comments about Sam!

Spoiler:

It's nice to know so many people(and not just Samandans) support her and recognize the wonderful job she does as a leader. Nice posts and I hope they will end up in the collection.

Pretty quiet here tonight. How about another round of "Share Your Favorite Sam Pics"

Window Of Opportunity:

Cool!Sam Now, this is just pure coolness. Doesn't she look like she means business? I love episodes that feature no-nonsense Sam.

Into The Fire:

Action!Sam After freeing Jack, Sam once again raises into action to help make the mission a success. I particularly like this picture because it captures Sam's determination and courage so perfectly.

Solitudes

Solitudes!Sam Sam gave her everything to rescue Jack and herself. She was struggling so hard to find a way back home and it was so difficult for her to accept that there wasn't anything she could do. Sam definitely doesn't give up easily, she's a fighter in every sense of the word.

The Devil You Know

I always liked the Sam that takes care of others. There are so many episodes that showcase that aspect of Sam, but this particular scene always stood out to me.

Urgo



BlueJello!Sam What can I tell you...Sam and her blue jello. Priceless!


The Tokra

I always loved the expression on Sam's face in this scene, but I guess what makes it really funny for me is the behind the scenes story that goes along with it. When I watch it now, it cracks me up even more.

spoilers for 'uninvited'

Spoiler:

yes, i watched the episode, but i can't remember a hand device scene. refresh my memory please.


sally

Spoiler:

It was mentioned in a conversation between Sam and Vala. Vala had just finished using the hand held device to heal the wounded SG members who had been attacked. Brief filler scene to show that Vala is of value and that Sam and Vala have a working relationship (almost wrote friendship but don't think they are quite there yet).

Quadruple post!

Über, I'm sorry your vid was disqualified but I wanted to say Congrats to all the Samandans nominated for an SG fan award

I wasn't able to watch "Uninvited", so I can't comment on it yet, but I did tape it, so I have to watch it and see what I think.

Thank you very much for the info

On a more serious (and definitely OT) note, guys, something's come up here - I really can't get into it in a public forum (I'd rather not), but if some of you can spare to send a few good thoughts and maybe a couple of prayers (mantras, hey, I'll even take chanting or any kind of positive karma) in my general direction, I would very dearly appreciate it.


Love,
mg

mini, I'm sending good thoughts your way... *hugs*

I have to apologize if I didn't catch something important. My computer is so slow and I can never read all the posts I missed

[Skydiver]

guys, pass the word in any thread that you play in

in fanfic there is the announcemet for the voting, but also a list of any and all gateworlders that have been nominated in the awards. and there's a certain way to get their stuff listed which is on the announcement.

so i know i don't play in enough of the threads to spread it around the forum, so please help me out spreading the word

[Lizlove]

I'm sad to hear about your vid Über! It was the most awesome vid I had ever seen!!! Remember that in eyes of a lot of people here it desserved first place right away!
No doubt about that on my part.

What's the behind the scenes story? Don't think I've heard it.

I totally agree with L.A. Doyle. I think that a copy of astro's post should be sent to TPTB and SciFi. and anyone else who might listen.

Hey, astro, maybe you could somehow work in there:

"1961 Volvo P1800 + 2003 Cobra SVT > 1965 Mustang Fastback."

Uninvited

Spoiler:

I liked the ep. It has really cool Sam moments and Team moments. The actors work well together and the story wasnt so bad. At least the creatures didnt look as stupid as the ones in sight unseen. I love how Sam/Teal'c are acting towards each other.

[kes]

spoilers for s9

Spoiler:

jack did *not* give mitchell command of sg1. jack told mitchell he could pretty much choose what he wants, but he did NOT tell mitchell that he could have *sam's* command. landry gave mitchell command of the team, *after* sam left and *after* all the big threats (goauld, replicater) were gone (which allowed her the leeway of leaving).

sally

Spoiler:

Well my original point was that no one took command from Sam. That he only got it cos she wasnt there anymore and that there werent any big threats out there, at least they thought.
But I dont wanna go down this road anymore

[kes]

Spoiler:

It was a plot device, and a particularly poor one at that.

I don't blame Jack. He wouldn't have had the authority to make an almost unconditional offer of any post Mitchell wanted - what if he'd asked for Hammond's job? - so he was, in all likelihood, just the messenger.

I'm sure that he never expected that somebody with no offworld experience would consider himself more worthy and deserving of a place on SG-1 than any other officer at the SGC.

Get well soon. And when you do, you can do anything you want, and I mean…professionally…anything you want. Well not…anything.

Taking it a little far, no?

[jckfan55]

Ok, I pulled out my DVDs this weekend sort of randomly picked an episode. I watched "Smoke and Mirrors." I think Sam was quite cool in this episode. A few highlights.

She led the investigation.

Loved where we see her make the decision to buy the gun from the gun dealer. Typical great AT acting there, IMHO. She conveys what she's thinking and that she's sort of shifting gears, but it's not OTT.

Using her lockpicking tools--& the look she gave Barrett when he kicked in the door.

Telling Barrett to get off her after the explosion.

Using the Foothold device.

She dressed well. I love her "civilian" watch (which I seem to have just noticed on this viewing.)
