Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[suse]

Are you sure you don't mean your VCR Tapes?

Beta.

Pop quiz: What episode was AT describing with the "50 extras, 12 cast members, ....all out in the middle of nowhere"? (in season 6)

I'm going to say "Allegiance". Or maybe even "Memento", since parts of that were in a big open space with lots of extras and main/guest characters.

[Skydiver]

memento was really out in the open a lot, especially the whole 'raising the gate' scenes

Exactly.

Wonderful, in every sense of the word.

Thanks.

Edit: Hehe, I just noticed, AT isn't the tallest woman there.

Maybe she keeps choosing black so she isn't 'dated' by them years later. You know how other actors can be picked out year after year by what they wore? This way she'll always be 'timeless'...? Just a thought.
Oh and blue? Yes, please.

Good thinking...besides, I think the black is a very flattering look...and it suits Amanda very well. I don't mind what she wears so long as she's happy and comfortable in it then that's all that matters.

I'm going to say "Allegiance". Or maybe even "Memento", since parts of that were in a big open space with lots of extras and main/guest characters.

I was thinking Allegiance til I read what Sky said about Memento...either eps could be a possible candidate. Someone will have to ask her at the next event...or on twitter - TappingTuesday!!

Thank you!! Was wondering when pics were going to be released. Hope there's gonna be more than just that one.

Edit: Hehe, I just noticed, AT isn't the tallest woman there.

Even with heels on, she's not the tallest. I love her dress btw. Seriously...no mucking around - I do love her dress. And not because it's black...I love the style. Actually, looking at it, it could be a skirt and top...meh, still love it.

Looking over the list of recipient winners, it makes me happy to see such a range of charities being helped in the Vancouver area. If only more YMCA's across the country were able to do this on such a scale, it would help out so many people.

Does anyone know where the monies originated in the first place? Was it all by donations?

Thanks parsifal for the pic and link to the site.

Old interview, but just posted. Much longer than most, it's a great read.

A couple of other Amanda-related bits from the articles:

I loved watching Heroes. I watched it with Amanda Tapping. Watching anything with Amanda is ridiculous," he jokes. "You can't watch a show with Amanda because she hates everything she does, and she just can't stand anything anybody else does when they're acting with her. She's just so self critical. In this one, she knows she did a good job. We were sitting there looking at it, and it ended, and both of us looked at each other afterward and went… Wow.

http://rdanderson.com/stargate/lexic...-07-martin.htm

Amanda asks Peter if he needs to run lines with her before the next scene, but he feels it won't be necessary and thanks her all the same.

thanks for all the links

i really enjoy the enthusiasm with which amanda responds at interviews and the depth of her responses and the insight they give into her... its sweet how she talks about working with rda... have seen the comment before about a planet where women were the leaders since the beggining of time and it would have been interesting to see that... shes so generous in her comments to the fans... and always loved the story of the combat braclet, so it was nice to get more on that!

as for amanda being so self critical the women is way to modest! she is a brilliant actress! it is her amazing portrayal of sam in addition to adoring the character herself that first had me go searching for info on AT - something i dont typically do... and the rest as they say is history...

Any bets on what colour her dress will be this year? *ducks and runs*

my guess is black

Maybe she keeps choosing black so she isn't 'dated' by them years later. You know how other actors can be picked out year after year by what they wore? This way she'll always be 'timeless'...? Just a thought.

Oh and blue? Yes, please.

interesting theroy and id love to see her wear blue!

I also loved her quotes, I'm even more glad she follows them, and does all that to people.

AT didn't even have to say thank you or explain why she was late but... she's AT.

yes she does live by them and exactly
