Originally posted by samcarterrules View PostHey Everyone,
Hehe, I was watching Solitudes yesterday to chelle
I wondered if Sam's first fall, from the DHD down to Jack, was Amanda?? But would she have been allowed to the big fall from the hole Sam had made all the way to the bottom??? I know the actors did more of their own stunts in the early seasons but the way Sam fell made me think it was Amanda at the top before Sam started to fall and after laying at the bottom, but not during the big fall? What does everyone think? I agree about their clothes too.
I agree chelle I hold my copy of Stuck as special and I think I'm very privileged to have it. Its a fantastic movie. But I don't think Amanda knew Lindsay Bourne was selling it.

I think that when Sam fell the first time..it was Amanda...you can hear her say "ow" and it sounded very genuine...more like Amanda saying it rather than Sam...know what I mean??? So my impression is that Amanda did the falls herself.
As for the second fall...the big one...I think it was Amanda all the way...I'm sure I've read or heard somewhere that it was her...that she didn't really get a stunt double til later in the series...but I could be wrong...she did ride that horse though in Emancipation!!!
I think Amanda found out at AT4 that Lindsay had sold some copies of Stuck...but IIRC, she wasn't upset by it...a bit surprised but not upset.
I won't be lending my copy out to anyone...like I said before...I have only watched it a few times and those that have watched it with me, I trust explicitly. So any illegal copies and downloads will never come from me. I'm just sad and disappointed that someone has put that scene on YT."Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"

She then asked us and was told Lindsay was selling it. She was fine with it and discussed it a bit.sigpic

Stuck would be perfectly suited as a stage play. Since it's basically one set all through. I do think the writing needs to be tweaked a bit, tightened up and the like. You could definitely tell that it was a 'three day shoot' or whatever it was.
If i was producing it on stage i would almost consider them starting the sex scene...intermission, then come back with it just over. less emphasis on the sex and more on the emotions of those involved. give it a little more feeling and heart
Having watched it, yeah, it's a total 180 from anything we've ever seen amanda in, so i think that's why she did it, to do something different. But i can also see why it's not gone anywhere (compare it to sanctuary, which is also a very non-sam role...sanctuary was made for a broad appeal so it's getting on the network, stuck is more nitch and it shows)

I've been going through some screen shots of Ripple Effect and thinking of doing a few more photoshop icons. I have always loved ep's with AU and *bounce* always love seeing Janet again...even though I think more scenes of her and Sam should have been written into this particular ep. Ah well. Think I'm gonna have to dig up the dvd later too...well after some more swimming. All these pic are making me want to watch it again.

Robert Picardo is still a great guy ... it some of the decisions that TPTB made that has me confused and displeased.
But I give Woolsey a change, nothing against the actor. I see RP as a big name in SCI FI. I'm glad Stargate / Stargate - Atlantis can come up with some big names from time to time. Or easy to recognised guest actors. Of course Amanda became a big name. When are you finally gonna give her an oscar, gone with the "Americans only" approach there. Here an Oscar is way more famous than a (Leo? Anyway the Canadian variant) I bet not a lot of people here heard of it.
Sam / Helen / Amanda, we don't give up on ya, never. Not even if you'd (Amanda) become a hospital nurse, cause your good hearted ness is the reason patients will leave the hospital 1 day earlier than doctors predicted.

So, watched Search and Rescue...and for the first forty-two minutes I'm like 'oh cool, Sam's rockin' this eppy'. BTW, did anyone else noticed all her awesome 'hero-shots'? I even went back to the opening credits to see who was directing, because somehow it didnt seem like their usual shooting style (not that I'm complaining!)
Anyway, forty-two minutes in and then I'm left mouth agape as this amazing character gets treated like trash and made to look incompetent. Not happy. Not Woolsey's fault, I think he'll be interesting to watch....but I'd like to throw cold spaghetti at whoever came up with that scene.
The last 60 seconds aside, great episode for Sam. She was calm, confident, capable, handled herself and her people extremely well... Snaps for Sam! (Sorry, I'm going through a 'legally blonde' phase!)Royal Page of Samanda

She was just supposed to carefully scoot herself down toward the bottom to where Jack was, but being the clumsy that she is in real life, AT took a very dramatic fall instead. After they stopped filming and ascertained that she was okay afterwards, besides some bruising of course, they decided to keep the scene in as is...hehe.
