you need to be a radio dj, magazine writer, on tv, someone that can get teh show publicity, thus get noticed so that your walk on can generate more good publicity as you talk about what a great time you had

(all thinking)
Daniel: Boy I look good in this suit.
Teal'c: I wonder if Major Carter knows how good she looks in her dress blues.
Sam: If I calculate the decay rate of naquada.....
Walter: I know I could lead SG1.

lol,hehe,nice

Joe is not going to tell you what you want to know no matter how many times you and others ask him. Anything comments from anyone else is conjecture. There's no way for you to know in advance whether the show will use Sam in the way she could potentially be used.

i know he won't , but i wanted more clarification, like you guys have been giving me. but i know he doesn't want to - or can't really - give too much away, and i understand that totally.

If you only watch Amanda's scenes in the episodes she's been in, you will have no idea of how Sam could fit in because you won't know who the players are and how they relate to each other. In the meantime, no one can tell you how TPTB will use Sam.

when sam actually joins the show, i'll watch the entire episode. because i not only want to know what's going to be going on, but i want to 'like' the show she's on.

these conversations are helping.

that's what i said in joe's blog.

amanda looks *gorgeous*.... but i miss the short more blond hair.





sally

I love it short, but there was a time where they just bleached it too much. I like the color in season 10 better than season 9. And I like the current color the best (probably because that's the color I am aiming for)

[Skydiver]

i don't know if it was bleached as much as AT just spent a lot of time in the sun and her hair lightened up

especially in smoke and mirrors, she had such a nice tan, and either the contrast or the sun made her hair look very, very blonde

Good night everyone...I'm off to bed...I had the best time with Carmen and Don this weekend and I plugged GW as much as I could and Smiley and I couldn't say enough about Amanda...we're nuts!!
Take care everyone, be safe, be happy and hug your loved ones!!

Cheers!!!

I don't know that we *will* see that, but that's what I hope for too. I think it would be interesting to see her chafing at NOT being the one doing all the science research herself. I hesitate to mention that ill conceived stint at Area 51, but I wonder how much administrative work she did there & how much she was able to do hands on herself? I really can't see her wanting to be a paper pusher & I don't want to see that either. From hints we've gotten (if they can be believed) she'll do more than sit around waiting for the team to come back.

wasting this fantastic and mutli talented character and actress with just sitting behind the desk...

i've really got to rid my mind of sam on atlantis being as focused on as sam of season 10. (i know we'll never get back the sam focus of seasons 1-8.)

that picture of amanda and jason on joe's blog; does it look like her hair's pulled back onto some kind of bun thinger, or maybe in a braid (like tracy's pics above)?





sally

[majorsal]

Great analogy.

That's just what I am hoping. I loved Jonas (yet another character goes poof) and how he gently, tentatively became a part of the team.

I hope they do the same with Sam.

i thought jonas was THE best thing to ever happen to teal'c. teal'c was jonas' mentor, and it allowed teal'c to be pulled out of the 'resident alien' of the show (because jonas became that).

i wonder if sam will bond with anyone there? and i'm thinking more along the lines of what jonas did for teal'c. will sam be anyones' jonas? or visa versa?

Yes, it looks like it's pulled back.

Which begs the question: Are we going to see a passage of time before Sam comes to Atlantis? I mean, her hair's short for the remainder of S10. What will it be like for the movies? People's hair can grow fast, but not that fast.

Of course, we won't know how long it is if she keeps it pulled back like that for the movies and/or Atlantis.

[majorsal]

Yes those were a few my issues I had with Weir...I really liked her character and what they did with her. They made her into a strong woman, and then they let Sheppard take over...or not let het listen to her. But that was the same with Caldwell, he also just did his thing... But then I always thought it was because of the fact that Weir wasn't military...With Sam being military, I can't see that happening. I think Sheppard knows about Sam and about her experience and all...So I can't see him ignoring anything she says... So in that context I really hope they will give Sam command in a good way. But then on another note they could have done that with Weir too...

i hope they don't write sheppard running all over sam, like i've heard he did with weir...

(re: 'the void')
Granted it wasn't an horrible movie, but the story was not that great at all I mean it was such a cliché. But I think Amanda really shined in it and that is why the movie was great. Cause Amanda really made it into a movie worth rewatching. I think she did every emotion very good.

'the void' reminded me of sam without kickbutt. i liked amanda's chemistry with adrian paul (her boyfriend in the movie). shipper that i am, i've got to have my hot romance talking place. but i'm glad they picked someone *i* was attracted to.

Well, I think Sam could put him in his place.
