Amanda also didn't want her character to be overshadowing anyone else's, since she was coming over from an already long successful series. She preferred to stay in the background and let someone like McKay shine, since it was more his series than it was hers. She even went so far as to visit the actors already on SGA and asked each of them how they felt about having her and her character move over to their show.

Or JM having to stop some newbie writers from hooking up Sam and Cam - uh, hello, *so* many things wrong with making that canon, not least because Sam <3 Jack!!! She only dumped her fiancé for Jack a year ago and been in love with O'Neill for 8 years but suddenly she's chasing Cam?! *facepalm*. How did these people get the job, they clearly haven't watch *any* previous episodes!

The way they got rid of Sam was undeserved for such a beloved character. I think I should stop here because thinking about it just makes my blood boil.

Just wanted to say how lovely Amanda is, a special person (you know who you are) got an a personalised autograph for my best friend from Amanda. She was being hurried to finish up by the con organizers but still took the time to personalise it. It arrived in the post today and my friend loves it. She's recovering from an operation and it was a surprise to cheer her up.Don't get it right, get it written - Unknown, they haven't decided who said it firstIf you want something in life, you have to work for it

She saw what happened on SG1 - with Cam & Vala coming in (not their fault...it's the writers!) and probably didn't want a repeat.
That said, I DO wish that they had added more to her Character - Weir had some delicious commanding moments that I would love to see Carter in, just to see what she would do differently. Alas. It was not to be.

So I watched Avenger 2.0 last night just for the heck of it. I wanted something to make me laugh. That episode is so freakin' funny! I actually watched it twice, once with the commentary (MW and AT) and once without Seriously I think it made my week!
Oh and about the sparks in that scene with the weapon that Felger created...AT says that the last flinch was her real reaction because they didn't know that the effect was going to happen. Hee hee sparks...sigpic

Did Elliott's wife ever accuse him of cheating on her with Olivia? I know that one of Stabler's kids asks:
"Ever sleep with your partner?"
Olivia's reply is:
"Never."sigpichttps://www.fanfiction.net/s/7450657...-World-Goes-On Sparky story SGA https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10177037/1/Bad-Moon-Rising Teen Wolf fanfic story https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10573271/1/Skyfall Thor fanfic story

And I remember when Liv found out Elliot wasn't going to be coming back. Guh. Right in the feels.
I see a lot of similarities between Liv and Sam, the foremost of which is their compassion. They've been developed into competent female characters, and their empathy doesn't feel like some kind of token gender trope. They're smart and tough, and have overcome their own unique hardships. Not to mention, they're long-lasting. We saw Sam onscreen for 10.5 seasons (I count Atlantis as half a season, due to her relative guest star status and lack of story arc influence), and Olivia is going into her FIFTEENTH year on the SVU team. Pretty damn impressive, if I do say so.

I've heard rumors about what they're going to be doing with Olivia in the next season. I want them to be wrong!sigpichttps://www.fanfiction.net/s/7450657...-World-Goes-On Sparky story SGA https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10177037/1/Bad-Moon-Rising Teen Wolf fanfic story https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10573271/1/Skyfall Thor fanfic story

And to keep this on topic: I think AT aged far better than MH and she also comes across as more in touch with fans, but I must admit I'm not that involved in the SVU fandom or someone who follows MH so I could be wrong in regards to the latter.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.
On FFnet or AO3
