Fantastic read ChopinGal re HEADTRIP - I recommend ot to anyone who has not read it yet - It is finished at last!!
Also watched Gemini for the first time today and I enjoyed it I must say. Yes Sam made a mistake and in my mind that humanised her. She made an error of judgement, not a stupid mistake. I've misjudged someone big style myself and we probably all misjudge someone at some stage. Sam cannot be perfect - I can accept this sort of writing as character development. Sam will learn from her error, it will make her more cautious in future, it will shape her somehow, we all change through experience both positive and negative. Personally I don't think it was an episode to make too much of. I liked the fact that she recognises and accepts she may have made a howler. That says a lot about her character in itslef. There are lots of people out there who can't hold there hand up and say Yes I was out of line, or I dropped a clanger. I like the writing that gives Sam this strength to admit her mistakes.
The thing that is upsetting me about season 8 is the lack of opportunity Sam is getting to lead - and the apalling lack of team based and off world episodes. To be honest I don't see too much of Sam being let down by the writers. She is not featured as much in the episodes, but we all know that she was going through a rough time of things, perhaps the doctor ordered an easing up?
Oh I don't like the sudden affinity for girlie, tight fitting revealing outfits either, don't mind some of it, but love the casual style of seasons 1 to 6. When does one wear tight jeans for a military steak out - only on Stargate - everyone else is in full mil' uniform
Now I think that is more Sci Fi demands to sex the show up a bit, rather than anything to do with the writers. I'm just not sure who the person at Sci Fi is who looks but doesn't see the gorgousness of Sam in season's 1 to 6. Someone who is not out of school shorts yet I suspect!!
As you can see my sarcasm chip is warming up nicely for 1s's visit tomorrow!!
