Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[cabouse18]

Just finished watching Trio--

Major Trio spoilers!!

Spoiler:

I loved it!!!!! Yay for action Sam, whumped Sam and "Shut the hell up McKay" Sam!! Very fun to watch-- I was literally on the edge of my seat! And next week we get Chris Judge!! But I'm mad cuz they didn't have the little hint of Sam's personal life they were promising. But she looked awesome throwing that grappling hook! They really should have showed her in the end scene though. It was weird that they didn't. Even if I wasn't mildly obsessed with her, it would still have felt awkward.

Spoiler:

I was sooo waiting for Keller to have to set her leg and Sam say "This is sooo payback for Antartica" or something like that. Yeah I was so WTG SAM when she got the grappling hook up there! Yeah, JM said they left that bit about her personal life on the cutting room floor...which sucks!!

Just finished watching Trio!! And my 2 cents on the episodes so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled... that means you Suse

Spoiler:

Just couldn't resist could you Suse

It was funny.
It has Sam whumping and a brave McKay!
A new ship was born and I don't mean the vehicle variety.

Loved Sam's reaction to some of McKAy's comments.. I love their banter!

I love brave McKay who when in a bind doesn’t run away, but actually stays to fight or in this case holds the rope despite badly cut hands to save Sam. His snarkiness was funny.

The game they played … Sam listing the physicists her first round lol sounds very much like Sam... lol at McKay joining them... it was just a good episode for the three characters.

The beer trick was a nice added touch indicating how much alike Sam and McKay really are. Keller knowing the beer trick indicated the kid genius actually partied a little in school.

Each came up with an idea how to get out. Each failed for one reason or another. Loved how Sam put herself in danger attempting each way out until ultimately she paid the very heavy price of broken leg and internal injuries. Leaving it up to McKAy and Keller to get out in the last 15 mintues or so, but Sam was still in the scenes encouraging McKay or talking to Keller. Over all a very good stand alone episode. Giving us more characters interaction that I enjoyed between all three.

Oh and the ship that I mentioned earlier. I believe McKay has met his match

[Bekah See]

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...

I don't get it either. Could someone explain it to my little innocent brain?

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

To quote Jack: "When we met!"

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?

Um, Ew?

I hope I haven't missed too much in the last week. I've had that nasty virus that's been going around. Coughing so hard you nearly faint, high fevers...just ugh. Hope no one else gets it!

So anything new happening in the land of Samanda?

What??? You mean you weren't here when Amanda popped in to tell us how much she appreciates us?? I can't believe you missed that!!

Just kidding. Sorry, I'm in a really snarky mood tonight.

Couldn't get the link to work. Is there another way to get there?

yes try http://www.sanctuaryforall.com then go to http://www.sanctuaryforall.com/socia...hp?page=assets
if the links don't work go to Sanctuaryforall.com scroll down till you find free stuff link click on it then once you get to the free stuff page scroll down some more till you find a link for the writer's room. You can download the Quicktime movie it is so funny. The Christmas thing is kinda funny as well Damian and Amanda are quite funny actually she has a good sense of humor and seems to love making funny faces.l That is so cool to me because most actresses would try to act all prim and proper during an interview but not Amanda lol she figets like Jack.

[atfan]

Did this thread transform into an IM board while I was gone????

ROFL just have to say I love your sig. I am looking forward to seeing Magnus again in Sanctuary and bonus some Sam in Atlantis - I totally understand Amanda not wanting the schedule of trying to do both series --yikes it would be tough and not fair for either show to divide her loyalties.

[atfan]

Yeah! It worked. Thank you Funny interview. It makes you wonder how they get anything done.

And I agree, where is the 'moon' shot?!?!

Slightly off topic for the Amanda thread but anyway

Spoiler:

The moon shot is in Webisode 2 when you get a complete shot of Robin in the shower very drool worthy he has a thunk thread on Sanctuary forum he is a crackup his interview on Sanctuaryfan.com is very funny as well.

[atfan]

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.

Oh they weren't all bad in fact I love the somewhat shippy part where Landry is talking to Jack and Sam walks in reporting for duty Sir. They so planned that it was so obviously a Jack thing to do.


Why could Landry have a conversation with Jack but never Sam ---still didn't understand that and in unending they could have at leat mentioned him although I did like how Sam played it being very unhappy for a long time ---yep so married.

Off Topic beta request:

Spoiler:

Hey, does anyone wanna beta for me? I have a Sanctuary story i wanna post, but it's a bit abstract-ish and I need to make sure it's not going to be too odd. I don't really know where else to ask about this since this is the only thread I frequent on a regular basis.

[majorsal]

two things. first, a quickie review of 'trio'.

Spoiler:

LOVED it!!

we got action sam! leader sam! banter-with-mckay sam! science sam! whumped sam!

it was wonderful to *see* so much sam for this starving sam fan!!

second, here's something joe mallozzi said about amanda in his current (2/8) entry.

Pam writes: “One thing I have noticed at both Stargate & Star Trek conventions is that other actors (and others associated with the shows) are always full of praise for the attitude of both Amanda Tapping and Robert Picardo to their work: knowing their lines, being on time, respect for other actors, etc. Is this one of the factors that led to both being on the shortlist for the position of base commander in the run up to Season 4?”

Answer: Fans can say what they like about their respective characters but, on a personal level, you’ll be hard-pressed to find two more hard-working and pleasant individuals. In an industry where productions are often saddled with jerks and self-centered whiners, actors like these two are a delight to work with.

that was a lovely thing for joe to say (going along with the other lovely things he's said recently), and it was wonderful to hear how respected and loved she is.

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

Nah...watch season nine...you may be pleasantly surprised!!

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

T'wasn't me was it Sky??

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!
LauraJo

Thank you so much Jan...you're my life saver!! (((Jan)))
Just a quick question though...with regard to the clip (scene of choice)...does that mean we have to download a clip that we like and send it to them coz I have no idea how to do that!!
Thank you!!!

Just finished watching Trio--

Oh bummer...

Spoiler:

Well I can't wait to see Trio...it's the one ep I've been waiting for since I first heard about it!!
It's always nice to hear such wonderful praise for Amanda...but then again, I can't think of any reason why one wouldn't highly praise her!

Well, it would seem that a lot of people must be off enjoying the weekend...it's quiet here so I'm going to go finish my letter to Amanda which has thus far taken me 3 days to write...it's not long, just hard to write!
Night all, take care and be safe!!
