HI Chelle

Oh and i'm so looking forward to seeing TRIO i so wanna see it know

Hey Everyone,

I missed you all yesterday, RL got in the way of posting, damn RL



You hit the nail on the head jckfan, the team had lost its 'family' feel, it felt kinda like putting your shoes on the wrong feet, you know uncomfortable. IMHO only of course, although I did buy seasons 9 and 10 b/c I have the other 8 seasons

Julia(samcarterrules)

IMHO, there was no team in s9 and 10...largely because folks thought as long as they were on the screen at the same time, they were a 'team'

a team is agroup of interacting people that care for each other. in s9 adn 10 all we got was a bunch of people with the same patches on thier uniform that kinda muddled thier way through a bunch of misadventures

I like some of the season 9 episodes but there are lots I skip. I bought season 9 for a friend who was a major Stargate fan, already had seasons 1-8 and was going through some difficult times. I sometimes wonder whether, given it was season 9, she really appreciated the gift!

Well the imfamous "they" do say it's the thought that counts.

You should try watching grass grow...it's kinda enlightening!!

I shall add it to my list of things to do instead of watching S9.

I have the DVDs but skip over the Sam-less episodes. If that makes me a Demanda, so be it. I'll stop complaining here and try to confine my ranting to the "anti season 10" thread though. (S9 &10 are kind of a unit)

I have my fingers crossed that Trio will be a good episode. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but from the clips I accidentally saw it could be a good one for Sam.
I wish the trio would have included Teyla, but I guess that's what the "Women of the Gate" ficathon is for. What's the word on that?--have assignments been handed out?

I think they were able to accomplish somewhat of a team feel, because I actually felt seasons 5 and 6 were more disjointed in the 'family feeling'. There were some good team scenes in 9 and 10 that didn't have the antagonistic feel from 5 and 6 in my opinion. I felt the lack of character bantering type stuff with parts of 9 and 10, but it also felt like they were working hard to isolate Sam from her original team mates for some odd reason. We got some decent Sam and Cameron scenes, some decent Sam and Vala scenes, but where were the really good character scenes between Sam and Teal'c and Sam and Daniel?

I swear, Sam and Daniel didn't even get to have a decent, friendly, not plot-moving-along type of conversation in both the last too seasons, and that's too bad. The show used to be full of a lot of that sort of casual bantering type stuff between the different characters.

I just hope they do something creative and non-demeaning with Sam regarding her future based on the new news about season 5 of ATL.

I agree. What I *really* hated in S9 and S10 were those awful, blatantly obvious, trying to be sentimental, "we're all together" scenes when Sam returned in Beachhead. They made me sick. I'm not sure exactly what TPTB were trying to do but it sure as hell backfired on me at least.

There's only one SG-1 team in my mind and that's that group of people I watched for the past 8-years and that includes when Jonas was part of the team in S6 and even when Jack became the SGC C.O. in S8 he still felt a part of SG-1.

i have a funny feeling that, had rachel not been pregnant, she might have been along. but it just wasn't physically possible.

as to the ficathon, yep, the assignments are all out - with the exception of one person that never replied to my mails.

Trio was one of the last episodes they filmed wasn't Rachel already on maternity leave by then? I do wish Rachel and Amanda had more scenes together.

Watching Keller, McKay and Sam in tonights episode should be a blast! I'm looking forward to it after the behind the scene clips on Joe's blog

and that is definitely what fic is for.

[1speed4Sam]

Just going through the PB and came across some random bits and bobs



Captionary, if you please?

Sam: Tell me again your joke again, Teal'c.

Teal'c: What is long, brown, and sticky?

[pause]

Teal'c: A stick.

[long pause]

Sam: Nope, still don't get it...

The people who are doing this made a tribute video to Janet Fraiser...
http://janetfraiser.com/heroes/yourpicture.htm

Thank you!!

Well I remember seeing it on the yahoo group for Sanctuaryforall....

Hi everyone!

With apologies for the cross-post, and permission to forward on where
you think Sam fans might wish to see it...

A few years back now I was part of a project showing our appreciation
for Janet, and thanking Teryl for all her work on Stargate, by
showcasing everything we loved about the character in a music video
featuring contributions from many of her fans. The finished video was
played at Wolf's SG8 and seemed to go down well!

Jumping back to the present, and we're a few months away from another
fabulous Gabit weekend with Amanda Tapping - AT3! This being the
first of these events to occur since the final episodes of Stargate
SG-1 aired, what better time than to showcase everything we have
loved for ten years about Samantha Carter?! This has been discussed
with some of Gabit's fantastic staff, and subject to final approval
once the video is made I am sending this e-mail out now with their
blessing.

So, what is the project and how does it work?

The idea is that a video is made using scenes chosen by as many
different people as possible, to go with text saying something they
have loved about Sam. Since illustration by example is probably the
easiest way, the Janet video can be found here:

http://janetfraiser.com/heroes/yourpicture.htm

Obviously for Sam we're looking at more of a celebration than a
tribute! But the principle is the same. It may also be possible to
include a section about what we're looking forward to (or have
already been enjoying!) in Atlantis, so do feel free to include ideas
in that direction.

To make this work, I need your help! And this is not in any way
exlusive to those attending the event, everyone is welcome to
contribute! So, it'd be great if as many people as possible contacted
me with the following information:

1) Your name and location (country)
2) What you would like to say about Sam (character trait or similar)
3) Your top three choices of Stargate scene to illustrate this point.

I will then compile as many of your contributions as possible into
the video, with text subtitles with what you tell us in (1) and (2)
put over one of your scene choices from (3). Obviously we don't want
to be repeating ourselves, so try to be as original as you can!! And
do keep in mind when you write your submissions that the text needs
to fit on the video, without obscuring the picture underneath. Please
don't make it too long!

The information should be sent to: [email protected] (Please do not
send replies to any of the lists this goes out on!!)

The closing date for submissions is Thursday, February 14 2008. That
gives you a couple of weeks in which to think and send me your ideas.

So get thinking! With your help this can hopefully be a great
celebration of a fantastic character.

Thank you!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH you dont know about the licking oh you poor deprived thing.....and the noodle is taboo, no talking bout the noodle, the wet Noodle of doom is scary *hids from the noodle*

Watchoo talkin bout ATFan?

O'Neill: Are you on that site again, Carter?
Sam: I can't help it sir, they are just so crazy.

I'm not crazy! Am I crazy? When did you first notice?

I really hope there's time for some quality Sam in S5, but I'm not holding my breath.

Spoiler:

The 'glass is half empty' side of me can't help but feel they'll have forgotten all about Sam by the time AT is available.

I think I'm one of the few relieved at who they brought in. This could make for some great conflict. Or train wreck. Only time will tell.

suse

Well, hopefully we'll all be pleasantly surprised by season 5. I have a feeling i'm going to be full of anticipation like I did every time I saw Carmen Argenziano's name in the credits and knew that "Dad" was coming to visit.

Woolsey...woolsey!...woolsey?
one thing for sure he raises Sam's hackles whenever he tries to throw that bureaucrat BS in her face. I just want her to sock him in the nose like she did Ba'al. Juust once...come on Sam...do it for me. do it for Jack.

Thanks, I'm glad it's not just me. I mean, I'll take the 15 seconds, I'll take whatever I can get. You know I would've loved there to be more of that scene.

And I'm glad you like my fic, and am enjoying my foray into mad Sam pairings, bwah ha ha. I'm not even half way through my list yet. Sam/Fran is with the beta though, and Sam/Cassie half way done (but ****ing hard to write). But every time I complete another pairing, someone suggests another for me to write. lol. It's never ending!!!!!!! (I think that's mostly a good thing though).

bwahahaha! don't worry i love your mad pairings. how do you come up with all this stuff? i read it and i'm like DAMn! that was good! Like now, I just read your Sam/Hammond pairing. And I was, "God! This is something that Sam would totally do." It reminded of the commentary that AT did when she did "The Road Not Taken" and she said that seeing Don again was a great morale booster and that there was something in the timbre of his voice that hit you in the chest and she couldn't quite describe that feeling, but I think you caught it just right in this story.

I just got back from the dentist, and found out I have 13 cavities!! 13!! Who gets 13 cavities??? Stupid soda, stupid not-working toothbrush, stupid dentist. Would someone please just zat me a couple of times and put me out of my misery???? *Whines pathetically*

dang girl! well, teeth are overrated anyways. just get some grillz. myself, i'm going to get some FaSho-Gold Grillz. 6 teeth, semi invisible set, 2.5 krt diamonds, 14k white gold....




You like?

of course I'm referring to his fishing rod. what ELSE would i be talking about???

of COURSE!you were..

Sam: Tell me again your joke again, Teal'c.

Teal'c: What is long, brown, and sticky?

[pause]

Teal'c: A stick.

[long pause]

Sam: Nope, still don't get it...

of COURSE!it is.

O'Neill: Carter, exactly when did you hack into the security camera in Teal'c's quarters?

Sam: Mmmmmmmmmm...... oh, sorry Sir, did you say something?

Teal'c: Perhaps she will enjoy this pose as well...

Oh and i'm so looking forward to seeing TRIO i so wanna see it know

yup yup. and as an added bonus we get to read about it on JM's blog. I'm in awe of Amanda facing her fear of heights like that.
