Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Gate gal]

Probably. I couldn't see Jacob being best pleased, though.

FF.net might have some stories.

Jacob wouldn't be the only one unhappy! I don't think there's a Sam fan on the planet who would have liked that pairing. Wrong on many levels....

LOL, I think I've heard of Hammond/Sam, Jacob/Janet, Hammond/Janet... And while they may not be solely Sam fans, they're certainly Hammond/Jacob/Selmak/Bra'tac fans.

Good morning all!

Just got an e-mail from "The Amanda Tapping Club"'s yahoo group with a link to THIS. It's a preview on the latest Cult Times. They got a special in there on SG-1 and you can read a little interview with Amanda, which is quite nice, but the usual things I think. Nice to here, that she's feeling good. The typical Amanda-like comments are in it too. So nice to read, but nothing special. But the mag is a special, i think. Who can get it should buy it...seems as it's worth the money.

Happy Birthday AD!!!


*gives you a hug*

some think they're together. some think, 'i won't believe it until i see it'. both sides want to SEE it.

Nope. I don't.

And I never want to see Sam paired off with anyone in the show.

not!Jack/Sam-shipper does NOT = some-other-kind-of-shipper.

[NZNeep]

You want her to be alone forever?

Happy birthday

You want her to be alone forever?

No, she can do what she likes when the show's over She can do what she likes outside the show right now, so long as it's not part of the story I tune in for. I don't want to watch romantic fiction, I want to watch sci-fi drama

And whenever I hear the suggestion that if you don't like Jack/Sam ship on the show it must be because you want an alternative ship portrayed instead, I roll my eyes. That doggy just won't hunt.

[scarimor]

Oh, wouldn't it be nice to see AT and TR working together again

That would be awesome.

Sam and Teal'c's relationship is one of those precious gems that is rarely acknowledged by TPTB. There's so much potential there though!

Look at Teal'c. From his background and upbringing, he had every reason to sneer at her or call her "woman." He should have reacted to her the same way that Bra'tac did in Bloodlines. A weak female.

Instead, he honored her right from the start. He gave her his staff weapon in Children of the Gods...a sign of humility and trust. And throughout the years, this bond has grown to such wonderful levels.

Spoiler:

Of all of Season 9 (which I primarily thought was a piece of refuse), one of the few moments that stuck out for me was when Teal'c saw Sam was alive in Ethon. That brief moment where he looked choked up to the point of almost tearing up. The touch to the arm. Her look of reassurance and gratitude for his being there too. So few words communicated so much.

And think of how much she trusts him. Here she was in the "woman trying to prove herself in a man's world" yadda yadda...and yet she felt comfortable enough to cry in front of him. In fact, I think that Teal'c is the one person she's been most comfortable expressing herself that way...which again, "should" not have been the case...because "shouldn't" he have perceived that as weakness?

Just a great relationship that I treasure more and more as I go back and see how it's developed over the past decade.

Absolutely. And I don't record every episode of SG-1 to keep, some eps only certain scenes, but that scene in Ethos was a total keeper, so subtle and moving even though brief.

Sam and Teal'c, more so than others on the team, have some very specific points of empathy. Primarily, they have both sacrificed personal relationships for the batttle with the Go'uld, Sam a relationship with Jack and Cassie (sorry, I'm a shipper), and Teal'c, his wife and Ry'ac, and later Ishta. While TPTB don't dwell on this nearly often enough, I think for the characters this would be a huge thing and draw them together. It also highlights how similar they are as they've made very similar choices.

I also think they share a common opinion of puppy Cameron. But I've already discussed that in relation to Camelot and my vision of Sam and Teal'c kicking it back at the pub... Seriously, as a shipper with an active imagination, I like to think of Sam, Jack and Teal'c hanging out together off-screen during seasons 9 and 10, since I don't think Jack would leave T anymore than he would leave Sam. (Think about it, how many times have we seen Daniel and Cam at the SGC without Sam and Teal'c anywhere around?!)

I think Sally meant that both j/s shipper sides, not every fan, wanted to see it. I think that's what she meant anyway.

I personally like a little romance with my sci-fi drama/action. I'd never want a soap opera, that's not my cup of tea. But a tad of romance here and there keeps it interesting for me.

Stargate has it all-it's a cop show(ok, intergalactic cop show), medical show(especially when Janet was around), comedy(admit it, sometimes this show is downright hilarious), science documentary(how much technobabble do we hear?), action show(KABOOM), drama show(I've laughed, but I've cried...I've felt for these characters like they were real people), a study of the human condition, and a romance. Every character's gotten a bit of romance through the years. It's part of being human to love, so I expect to see it to some degree on the show. I also love seeing them-not scientists or soldiers, just friends being there for each other. For me, SG is the full package-I think that's why I love it so.
