Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[scarimor]

Watching Family Ties right now (it's almost over) and I really enjoyed it, but my favorite bits are

Spoiler:

when Sam calls Vala's dad a jerk, for the way he treated Vala. BOOYAH! In your face Valadad! And when Sam brings Vala some wine and they sorta talk. See, Sam does like Vala! OH and Teal'c going to the Vagina Monolauges!

I was cracking up at that. Especially since it was so topical re

Spoiler:

Amanda doing the TVM in Toronto

I'm with her ^! OH SQUEE!!!

Sam + Atlantis = One AWESOME Season 4!!! SQUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Preach it! Preach it! And I'm also really looking forward to seeing Keller (Jewel) on the show.

[samcarterrules]

i have to squee too!!!

*wonder if shippers squee more than others? *

but just think...

sam will be COMMANDING!

not co-commanding. not having to deal with someone coming up and usurping her well earned and rightful place. but COMMANDING a whole BASE all by herself!!

and she'll have her own OFFICE!

*squees at cutie sam in her new outfit*

wow, i'm really being fangirly here.

Hey Chelle, that's not the same interview as the one's parisfal listed, they are radio interviews.

If you click on the megaupload link, you have to enter the 3 letters at the top and then press enter, then you have to wait how ever many seconds it counts down before you can download. If it says its temporarily not available (which it did for me) Just keep checking back until it is

Hope this helps

Thanks Mandy! I think I'll try again another day...I'm a bit bushed tonight...went to bed at 3am after finally finishing the housework and then the alarm didn't go off so it was a mad rush off to work this morning and I didn't get home til 6.30 tonight...so...I'm just quickly hopping in to have a look and then I'm off to la la land!!!
...but thanks for the tip anyway!!

i can braid my own hair. taught myself to french braid without even realizing what i was doing.

of course, i can't braid others

I think, given the more relaxed atmosphere of atlantis as a whole, i can see sam in the off world costume and leaving her air force dress uni in the closet unless she goes home

So what's the difference between a braid and a plait/platt??
Coz I can plat my own hair and others but I can't do that thing where it starts at the top and gradually works down...my plats are very plain and simple...not that I can plat it at the moment as it's too short...but when my hair was really long I could plat it easily...and I loved the twin plats best rather than the single one...and I could part my hair perfectly down the center...not sure if I still can though...been a while!!!

yes you are a being a fangirl but I will join in teh squeee, although not for the reason you all are squeeing over...well also for that but also for...
spoilers from that vid

Spoiler:

Cause she will not have a deskjob I would have hated to see Sam only behind a desk. She isn't that kind of girl. She doesn't do good behind a desk at all. I think now she will have the experience to do a bit of it all. Like they said, with her past she has experience in science and can be there for McKay and Zelenka. She really understands them. Also can relate to Shep, cause she used to be in a team, and even lead the team (think season 8). Then there is Teyla to wich I think she will have a great relationship too, cause she know how it feels like to be in a team with all men, she really grew up in a men's world so... I think they will become friends for sure
and then there is Keller, we have hardly seen her but I think they will get along great
I think SGA will become more about the characters this season and that will be great. I hope to learn more of them all

Preach it! Preach it! And I'm also really looking forward to seeing Keller (Jewel) on the show.

Me too!!! I really am looking forward to Keller, I think she will fit right in there Like Sam will... I just hope they will integrete her in the cast and not make her the center of attention, cause I could see a lot of people not liking that.
All I know is season 4 of SGA will be one of these seasons, or you like it, or you hate it. There is a lot of change...

Spoiler:

But they were talking about a season 5 right?? so maybe that is a good sign...So people watch it!!

Chelle the difference between a braid and a plait is us lol. As far as I know (If Neep or Space will confirm it for NZ as well) the tri nations of the south call it a plait. The one that goes all the way from the top all fancy like is called a french plait in SA, and I've heard it referred to as a french braid in the UK.

Oh and Sam's hair looks lovely

[Chelle DB]

Those pictures are beautiful and my resolve is weakening. I'm actually starting to WANT to watch Atlantis. I won't do it, I won't do it, I won't do it....

On an unrelated note, I have finally got my girlfriend's birthday present after weeks of searching. The first part of her present was easy, I got her a ticket for London Expo and bought her a photo op with Amanda (which obviously got me "best girlfriend ever" status, especially when Amanda hugged her and referred to her by name. Amy's possibly a bigger Amanda fan than me!).

The second part of her present was evil, evil, evil and I've finally got it together. I'm pretty convinced she'll love it because she's been after something like this for a while and you (normally) can't get it anywhere.

But unfortunately, she decided last week that she'll settle for nothing less than Amanda for her birthday *rolls eyes*. Love her as I do, and as talented as I may be at making okra out of nothing, somehow I don't think I can click my fingers and make Amanda appear.

I was THIS close to sewing a Sam Carter rag doll and giving it to her with a card explaining it was the best I could do. *sigh*

WOMEN!

Hehehehehe...what a great friend you are in getting your friend tickets to see Amanda at the expo...if only the love of my life could do the same for me...but alas that won't be happening for some time to come...anyhoo.....I'd be a happy camper to get anything Sam/Amanda related for my birthday...but none of my family has a clue so I just help myself!!
As for Atlantis....it took a little getting used to for me but I'm a big fan of the show now...it helps that I got to meet David Nykl and Rachel Luttrell...but I found that it kinda grew on me...give it a chance to do the same for you Tracy...and you will love it...it's not like SG1 and it's cast are certainly different from what we've been used to but that's ok....it works!!

I get suckered all the time when I read Family Ties...coz I always thing of that show with Michael J Fox...but then I remember...oh yeah, it's a Stargate ep...cool!!! And I love that last scene...cracks me up all the time!!!

I taught myself how to French braid my hair too. Long hair can actually be quite practical, and putting it up is really no big deal. You just have to factor in how much longer it takes to dry after a shower.

I don't think dress blues as a daily uniform was ever a real consideration for Sam in Atlantis. Not only wouldn't it be practical, look at the example set by Jack once he took command of the SGC. Given the option, I can't see Sam not going with something more practical.

Hey schnooky!!!! I actually had a great day today...it was just a little longer than normal is all but I left a clean house this morning and came home to it exactly the way I left it...and that was FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!
I love it when I clean my little tiny house and it stays that way for more than 10 minutes!! I'm kinda dreading coming home from work on Monday night though....the clan should be home by then and no doubt the house will once again look as though a naquada reactor had gone critical in it...I plan on making a sign and sticking it to the front door...

BEFORE YOU ENTER...TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND...THIS HOUSE IS TO REMAIN LIKE THIS TIL THE COW COMES HOME!!!
PUT YOUR STUFF AWAY AND DON'T MAKE A FRELLIN MESS!!!
BY ORDERS OF YOUR WIFE AND MOTHER...BE WARNED...
I'M TIRED AND OVERWORKED!!
IF YOU MESS IT...CLEAN IT UP
IF YOU OPEN IT...SHUT IT
IF YOU TURN IT ON...TURN IT OFF
IF YOU PUT IT DOWN...PICK IT UP
WELCOME HOME!!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!

So..what you think??? Too harsh?? hehehehehe

Thanks MegYn...I tend to use both terminologies but I laways thought the braid was the one that started at the top and the plat was the basic one...I looked it up in the dictionary and they both have the same meaning...thanks anyway!!

Ok...I've done enough damage tonight...I'm off...night night folks!!
Take care, be safe, stay happy, be good, have fun and hug your loved ones!!!
Sorry for posting so many times...I still can't multi quote yet...and it's hard doing all the scripting stuff manually!!
