Oh, this is bad This is an msn conversation I just had with Spacegirlnz. I figure it isn't too off topic because it involves Amanda love. Ok, it is off topic.

Oh dear... I hope Amanda enjoys chocolate as much as I do.
You made me laugh snort. Not good while drinking coffee.
This thread is so sweet my teeth are aching but nothing like what is happening to NZ.

That's how I initially interpreted that scene, but I think it became clear later that she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon--especially after Cam was so delighted to get the band back together. Two years is an awfully long time for a temporary appointment, especially since many assignments are given for that length of time.
I wasn't active in fandom on the internet during season nine either.
Yes, in that first scene with Landry I think it was pretty clear it was a temporary assignment. What they didn't explain was why she came back full time. I would have liked to have seen a scene with Landry that would have gone something like this:
Landry: We need you back here Colonel.
Sam: With all due respect, Sir, I have a posting at Area 51 and can help with the Ori threat from there. I'm sure Dr. Lee...
Landry: No one is better with new technology AND has the field savvy you have Colonel. Mitchell is a good man, but the team needs you. Orders are being cut as we speak.
Sam: I see. I'll do my best sir.
Landry: I know you will, Colonel.
*whispers* Ohhhhh Sssskkkyyyyyyyyyyy! The Sam/Teal'c fic is up!
I finally was able to upload my Sam/Teal’c fic today. I started writing this early last year and finished it last fall, but it didn't get uploaded until now. I'd never written main character death and wanted to see how well I could deal with it in a fic. Many thanks to F.H. Bagpuss for having several look-sees at it while it was still in its infancy and to Strix varia for the final beta. (((Betas)))

what is everyone's views/feelings on this?

I think squeeeee! too.
Spoiler:
I am glad that she will be generally a more peripheral character than have the focus on her constantly. I think it would piss the Weir fans off even more if she had eps that focused solely on her.

I think that's excellent, and just what I was hoping. I agree with what Caladria said earlier. Sam has become a fully developed character over the course of the last 10 years and for the last two we've seen the effects of that. They don't need to spend a lot more time developing her character. What greater tribute to the character and the original show than to let Sam, with her expertise and confidence in herself - who she is and what she can do which she learned as part of the original SG-1 - help to more fully develop those traits in the SGA characters. Sure she'll be effected herself, but I agree the primary emphasis can and should remain the SGA characters.
