Think she'd be up for it MajorSam???

ROTFLOL! That was such fun, TH! Any idea where I could find the (original) song online so that I can listen to it?
So many of you folks are so creative! I am so impressed - and glad that you are all posting on this thread so that I get to enjoy things like this.

I was a bit wary of Anise and am now wary of Vala, but i will definately give her a chance because i really liked Claudia Black in Prometheus Unbound.
Even though i fall into the young male demographic i would much prefer the skimpy outfits to be kept to a minimum, unless it serves a purpose to the story eg. undercover as a Harem Girl (dont laugh, the Goa'uld are a bit like that!)
The in your face T & A is one of the things i hate about Enterprise and Voyager, it just demeaned the characters of Seven of Nine and T'pol in my opinion.
One of the reason i love Stargate so much is because it does not do that, and it's also why i love Sam Carter, she isn't like that. These types of characters (the strong female characters that don't always wear skimpy outfits) are few and far between. Carter, Fraiser and Jadzia Dax and Kira from DS9 are the types of Female Characters i love. (its funny SG1 is number 1 in my book, DS9 is number 2...go figure)
But i am definately giving TPTB a chance, SG1 is my all time favourite show and I honestly think it gets better each year (Season 8 is my favourite Season)
Well that's my view on it, bye!

Originally posted by chocdocI wonder what Amanda thinks about how she had to wear the sleeveless tee for some of season eight's episodes even though it is not regulation. Don't get me wrong --- she looked great and it did not detract from the show, but it was really to sex up the show (Teal'c too wore them). I have to say, though, after seeing Vala, the sexing up of Sam is quite tame! And boy, they could really "exploit" the natural beauty of AT, but fortunately they have not gone down that road with Sam Carter. Sam is quite attractive without having to sex her up.
The show's writers and directors and such have done a wonderful job with Sam's attire. Mostly they let her wear the same clothes as the guys - she is one of the military. I also found her 'civvies' to be generally conservative and in good taste. I thought she looked great in Chimera - and I liked seeing her as a woman (without looking like a hooker or a scifi babe in a revealing alien costume). To be honest, over the scope of the show's 8 seasons, I think they have dressed Sam as a real woman would dress - both on duty in the military and when off duty (and I could be wrong, but I think AT had some influence in how Sam dressed when offduty, such as in Chimera).
Because they were *so* good about how honestly they attired Sam Carter, I would have been ok with a scene where she's in a swimsuit at the beach in San Diego with her brother's family... or some such. Just a few minutes of a scene of her life outside the SGC, but where she's in something that we don't normally see her in.
Now... I have to qualify this with - I am picturing a fairly simple swimsuit -and I am not picturing a Hollywood bombshell bikini or some such.
Because I see Sam/AT as someone who comes across 'real'... I don't think AT would strut or prance around like a model... I can see her as one of my relatives or friends even in a swimsuit.
I think that my posts over the past few months show that I am an ardent Sam Carter fan (ChopinGal is rolling her eyes and chuckling while muttering 'understatement' )... and I tend to be fairly protective of what I see as a fantastic female lead on a scifi show... so I guess I'd say that, right now, I'm comfortable with whatever attire AT is comfortable wearing - if she wants to wear a swimsuit - fine... if she wants to wear a sexy dress (as in Chimera) - that's fine too... so far, it's all looked like stuff we could all buy at a regular store if we wanted to...(we wouldn't have to go to a Hollywood studio and find the scifi-women's-sexy-apparel section).
If they were ever to change the show so that AT was wearing Vala-type clothes (as we can see in the Avalon photo)... or a catsuit like 7 of 9's in Star Trek... then my opinion would change radically.
But for now, I think Sam's attire has been wonderfully 'real'.
(I know that there is some dispute over whether or not the Air Force would actually let them wear the sleeveless T's... but isn't that what they have military advisors for? They made AT cut her hair way back in Season 3 or 4 or so, so surely they wouldn't let the sleeveless T's continue if they didn't think it was reasonable on some level?)Last edited by astrogeologist; 23 April 2005, 10:44 PM.

Originally posted by tsaxladyThe dress that AT was wearing in Chimera was one that she had recently wore to awards show.
I have a newspaper clipping from a local paper that my friend gave to me about 2 years ago, because it was of Amanda. She's wearing the dress from Chimera... when I saw Chimera, I was like "wow, dude, isn't that her OWN dress?? Cool!"The Von MajorSam Family Singers debut CD... Coming soon

More blue jello? Or would your rather have a piece of deepspace's birthday cake? There's still some left, and I've kept it in the fridge

But the artist in me just couldn't stand seeing that poor anemic jelly bean any longer and had to photoshop it up a bit...
Also, the blue jello, I got rid of the hand and upped the saturation and contrast of the blue...
So...you're either going to want to sling things at me or say thank you (I'm pulling for the second option personally)...
