Wanted to compliment you on the new web layout and the really nice photos of Amanda with the first puppy at AT1 and then holding him again at AT2. That was neat to see!

And, wow! I didn't recognize Amanda in the lower-right promo picture of Sanctuary. It's a great photo and certainly does show her new non-Stargate persona. The woman does it all!
No the dates for AT3 are still may 2-4th 2008. Registration will open in August 2007

The scene was suppose to be a hallucination. It was suppose to represent how Rodney saw Sam. His fantasy of her, so in this particular case I thought the scene was appropriate. I mean how was this any more inappropriate than say Vala wearing her little Daisy Duke outfit in Bounty?
However, I don't believe that Claudia should be blamed for the shows choices in wardrobe.Last edited by ForeverSg1; 21 July 2007, 01:38 PM.

But I certainly don't blame CB for the outfit. I think CB has said that Vala isn't afraid to use her sex appeal. I can understand her using it as a tool to manipulate people when she was on the run, etc. but to me the Bounty outfit was just trashy to no purpose.
But back on topic--[QUOTESkydiver]
i hope we get a weir/carter 'hand off' thread.
dunno if it's possible, but it would be nice if handled correctly[/QUOTE]
I agree. I'd love to seeSpoiler:Sam visit Weir in the Atlantis infirmary (I'm guessing they won't have sent her home right away). I could see something along the lines of Weir showing she isn't happy to be out of things but that she respects Sam's ability. Maybe Weir tells her to give it time, that the gang will get used to her.

If she is outed for political reasons then I would expect more animosity from certain people.
I really am hoping for a realistic change of cast but I'm not holding my breath. As a fan of both Weir and Sam I am really at odds with that particular change, it's good and bad at the same time. If TPTB can make it a realistic change then I can live with it.-

irrc, they had made her a lined swimsuit thing, that bubbled horribly under water (ie air trapped between the layers) and it looked just awful. the story that amanda tells is that she grabbed that blue bra because it was clean and it was on top of hte pile and her main concern was grabbing something that they could use without digging for it and waking olivia up
and like others have said, vala was lying on daniel's bed in a chemise and panties, and her daisy dukes weren't that much more covering...add to it the latent sexual innuendo in her lying in daniel's bed, scantily clad and propositioning him....sam's bra is nothing.
given that it was mckay's fantasy (which, of course, also means that we're comparing 'real' vala's clothing choices and rodney's fantasy of sam...i could almost say wet dream since sam WAS quite wet) i think that we're lucky that sam wasn't 'wearing' less...of course we were also dealing with a woman that was just a few months post partem, who was nursing and was very insecure about her body at the time. she's said as much in teh commentaries. something along the line of 'i look like someone who'd just had a baby'

Sam was wearing a bra, which wasn't see through, so therefore equivalent to a bikini, which girls/women wear all the time on public family friendly beaches.
And sexual? They kissed! In Rodney's head! You see girls wearing a bikini kissing guys/respective others, on public family friendly beaches all the time.
If I was going to take issue with anything, it would be Vala's revealing wardrobe and sexual comments/innuendos...but even then it's not stuff that you don't already see on most tv shows/movies nowadays anyway.Last edited by Nikki; 21 July 2007, 11:18 PM.

Originally posted by mywraithcommanderBoth claudia in episode "The Ties that Bind" and amanda in "Grace Under Pressure" were wearing very intimate clothing, one showing her breasts in lingerie and one wearing panties.
But, why would the bra be nothing? She was wearing one.Originally posted by mywraithcommander View PostThe scene with sam and rodney was sexual. That's why.
And Vala was trying to seduce Daniel in the scene where CB wore the lingerie. How is that not sexual? It was appropriate to the scene and completely in character, but it was overtly sexual.
Personally, I have no problem with the costume choices as long as they are in character and there is no nudity. While not overtly sexual, SG has had skimpy costumes for some characters from the very start. Why complain about this now? Just b/c it was Sam who usually doesn’t dress in such a fashion? Well, I’m sorry to tell you this – it wasn’t Sam. It was McKay’s fantasy of Sam.
Is it b/c it was AT who went along with it? Again, I’m sorry. She’s an actress and she wears costumes so she can accurately portray a character. The costume was appropriate for the scene. Although we know now that it was a bra, it appeared to be more like a bikini top when I viewed the episode. From other people’s comments, it seems I was not the only one. If Amanda herself hadn’t said it was a bra, I wouldn’t have known any better. She did not “expose” her breasts. She was fully covered at all times and the scene with her in the bra lasted mere seconds.
I’m sorry if you have such delicate sensibilities, but I’m amazed you have been able to watch Stargate at all if you think that tiny little scene was inappropriate for the general audience.
