Question to the vid makers out there...I think I've finally been able to start creating my own videos. Is there a recommended place to store/upload/etc these once complete? Is YouTube the best?

Of course, I'm still going with Sam's a pilot! I know she rocks at everything she does, so I am fine with there being nothing she can't do!

i'm just gonna throw out a brief post here on my thoughts on the is she or isn't she a pilot thing here seems how everybody's doin' it.
i just assumed she was a pilot based on various info (that seems to have remained consistant over the majority of the show for once) that we've been given. "CotG", "fragile balance", "covenant" among others. i presumed that they never bothered with the wings on the uniform, because they just didn't realise that their fans were smart enough to figure out that they were the wrong badges, and when they did finally figure it out they chose to ignore that fact and/or figured it was too late and the change would be more noticeable than ignoring the prop mistake.
as for the whole, "well she couldn't have been a pilot in the gulf war because there were no female pilots in the gulf war" thing. it's a tv show in which a bunch of regular people, including an archaeologist/linguist/anthropologist and an alien, go through a big blue puddle to other planets. i think i can just let the "chick in a plane" thing go. as others have said, jack and cam (and even daniel IMO) have skills and abilities and histories a little less than believable too, and not just in their careers.
this isn't going to be a very popular theory here i think, but i sometimes feel that we (and by we i mean women in society not just this thread) are a little harder on women than on men. we can forgive that jack most likely wasn't in the vietnam war yet has the medals to say otherwise (for example), but we'll go on debating off and on why sam couldn't have been a pilot in the gulf war.
i'll shut up there and just remind everyone that i'm an idiot and nothing i say should be taken seriously. so you've really just wasted your time if you bothered reading this. HA!

Originally posted by scarimorIn that case, why did they talk about her pulling out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 in the very first episode? Given that she would have to be a pilot to do that, what's your take on that dialogue?
We have to consider how writing works. If a writer has his brand new character talk about "logging over 100 hours in enemy airspace" and "pulling out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16", he knows that his general audience is going to assume that the character is a pilot. They're not going to double-check her badges. I know I didn't - and I didn't double-check Jack's later either. So if the character is not a pilot, the writer has to flag that up somehow - he has to qualify the dialogue in some way - e.g. "in an awac" or "during my weapons system training". The fact that they didn't qualify Sam as a 'not!pilot' in the dialogue in CotG leaves the obvious standing: Sam's a pilot (and so is Kawalski, probably ) unless we're told otherwise.
Her wanting to be an astronaut also fits neatly with the pilot training route, and we learned about that ambition early on in the series.
No. But I find it much easier to explain away a bit of faulty costume-badging than something as explicit as clear dialogue in the very first episode, when they were introducing the character and telling us her background. How do you explain away the dialogue, Sky?

... But I'd like to tack it onto many of my posts, so maybe you should get it copyrighted or something.

Oh, man, Stargatebarbie is getting a patent! I really wanted to use that line and it fits almost everything I say, oh well.
Tonight's SGA episode question
Spoiler:Have we decided whether Amanda is on SGA or not? Did anyone get any concrete information? I know it's just a few hours away, but I really want to know.

There was a relatively small group of people who accidentally downloaded "The Return" from Amazon (well, the first guy accidentally downloaded it - the rest... not so much ), and I don't think they said anything about it.
