Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Coley]

LoL, I think this just about sums up the daily discussions I have with my husband pretty well.

"Hey honey, can you hear that tapping noise?"
"Huh? *looking up from my monitor* What tapping noise?"
"That tapping noise. You can't hear that?"
*Listening carefully* "I don't hear anything."
"Hmmm."
"That reminds me I was talking to my Samandan buddies about Gabit and ..."
"Gabit?"
"You know the Amanda Tapping Convention?"
"Oh, and why exactly is it called Gabit?"
"Get Amanda Back In Town....Gabit."
"AH."
"So anyway.... "
*Hubby shakes head as his eyes begin to gloss over from yet another normal conversation turning into something about Amanda*

It's a disease I tell ya. An addiction. I really think I might need to join an AA (Amandaholics Anonymous) support group soon.

Hi, my name is Katrina and I am an Amanda addict.

LOL!! Your hubby sounds so sweet and tolerant!!

[Coley]

Myrth thanks for the photo of the lovely smiling AT!

Agent Dark - I never get tired of your sig - thanks!!

Beach Head:

Stargate Command must call on Colonel Samantha Carter for assistance when the Ori seize control of a free Jaffa world.

So no bikinis?

[rolleson]

After conferring with Willie Mays, one opines that if one takes the smiley into consideration, next would probably come something under the order of turning up the heat before continuing the word association test.

Or should we move on to the Rorschach test...

::insert over-the-top cartoon cliché Freudian voice::

...."und now vee vill look at dis Rorschach ink blot vich is primarily orange, doe dat is not un primary color, and you vill tell me vhat you dink vhen you see it."

"Orange! Amanda!!"

"Mmhmm. Und dis vonn, dat dis shaped like der skinny donut?"

"Stargate! Amanda!!"

"Mmhmm. Und dis vonn, dat dis like der little airplane vhat cannot decide if it is der helicopter or not?"

"The Carter Copter! Amanda!!"

"I see. Und dis one dat is like der tack hammer?"

"Tapping! Amanda!!"

"Der man driving der buckboard?"

"Carter! Amanda!!

"Der Rosvell alien?"

"Thor! Amanda!!"

"Zwie beautiful blonde ladies?"

"Amanda!Amanda!! Hmmm....."

"Hello? Yes? Hello? Remember me? Der inkblots?" ::waves and snaps fingers::

"Oh, sorry Doc - got a little distracted there with the image of twin Amandas."

"I see. Wery vell. Let us put der inkblot avay for now."

"Vell - er, well, Doc, what do you say? Am I a few fries short of a happy meal?"

"I say nay. In der Kingdom of Samanda, you are perfectly normal. Just remember to take thine passport vith you vhen you travel so dat der foreigners vill understand vhere you are coming from."

...

Way funny.

I'll sign up for a little Amandaholic Anonymous. Deffo on the anonymous part. I try to play down the obsession at home with the bloke because you know, I'm supposed to be marrying him and my obsession with AT/Sam can be very hormone fuelled. Ignore that, bit personal.

I do have her on my phone as my wallpaper.

Two pics actually.



It's odd, cause you scroll through my pics on my phone, see those two mingled in with ones of my nephews and sister and sneaky ones of my supervisor (she's blonde and so sweet and yum) and my boss (he's also blonde and fit as).

About half my sg1 stuff file on my computer is just one folder called samcpics. Why the c? I dunno, I didn't notice for ages and now I don't want to change it cause it's been called that for so long.

This really is just a forray into my obsession really.

Everytime the boyf changes the desktop (to something nintendo usually) I change back to AT. We can only agree on having Dr Who or Atlantis desktops. My mum came down and luckily it was an AT desktop with more clothes than others (I had a flag one for aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggges).

Not that my mum would mind an obsession with a gorgeous blonde but she already thinks I'm a geek and a little mental. Most people do.

Anyway.

[Uber]

So no bikinis?

LOL...you're almost as bad as Agent Dark...

[rolleson]

LOL...you're almost as bad as Agent Dark...

Is there an innocent smilie?

But seriously, you'll tell me if there are any bikinis, cause you know it's few months before it starts here. And this is important information and I'd hate to end up with a restraining order because I wanted to see AT in a bikini (and out of one) when I could just see it on tv.

Okay, I sound really mental now so I'll shut. This woman turns my brain to mush.

[THE BIG UNIT]

Hi Everyone! Long time no see. I haven't posted for a long time, but i still come here everyday!

I'd like to say that i'm an Amanda addict, but i'll never quit, you can't make me! Also, i believe i too am as bad as Agent Dark (...hangs head in shame...)

As much as i love Amanda.....Bikinis sound good (sorry...i'm a guy with eyes)

I saw the first three episodes of S9, i liked them - pretty sure there are no spoilers below but...

Avalon, Part 1 - 7.5/10 - probably the weakest season premiere i have seen Stargate SG1 do, but i enjoyed it still. (really loved seeing Sam! what a lovely surprise)

Avalon, Part 2 - 8/10 - better

Origin - now i thought this was very interesting, though i can understand it may hit a little too close to home for some - 9/10

I think i am handling no sam for a while better than expected: Due to her being in the first episode, and due to my belief that i dont think she would have been anything but wallpaper in these episodes anyway. But without her (and Jack!) it still feels off.

I was surprised to find that i like General Landry - i didn't expect to (no one in my family who has seen him before does!).

Lt Colonel Mitchell - i like him, but i think that they are trying too hard to force him on us, with the whole Medal of Honour thing (personally i believe that if mitchell got it for his actions then sam and jack have definitely got one aswell, but we just didn't see it, along with all the other medals they got that they dont wear on there uniform, due to the secrecy of the program).

Dr Carolyn Lam - i didn't expect much from her either - but i liked her quite a bit.

Vala - i think she is better than last year, and she does make me laugh sometimes, but i dont know what to think of her yet really.

Gerak - i think his and Teal'cs dynamic will be very good indeed.

So far Daniel has gotten alot to do, so has everyone really...except Teal'c, I was expecting him to have huge parts in all the Episodes we have seen so far, due to the fact that Daniel and Teal'c are the only original 2 left, but only Daniel did, which is disappointing really.

I know that things will get ALOT better when Sam come back though, that's for sure!

RE: Your a big Amanda/Sam addict when

Amanda:
Your making a CD with songs that have as subject or title Amanda in 'em (now there's an idea)

I thought I'd help get you started on those songs...

MANDY

Barry Manilow

I remember all my life

Rainin' down as cold as ice

Shadows of a man

A face through a window

Cryin' in the night

The night goes into

Mornin', just another day

Happy people pass my way

Lookin' in their eyes

I see a memory

I never realized

How happy you made me, oh Mandy

CHORUS

Well you came and you gave without takin'

But I sent you away, oh Mandy

Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'

And I need you today, oh Mandy

Standin' on the edge of time

Walked away when love was mine

Caught up in a world of uphill climbin'

The tears are in my mind

And nothing is rhymin', oh Mandy

CHORUS

<instrumental interlude>

Yesterday's a dream

I face the mornin'

Cryin' on a breeze

The pain is callin', oh Mandy

CHORUS

You came and you gave without takin'

But I sent you away, oh Mandy

You kissed me and stopped me from shakin'

And I need you

AMANDA

Boston

Babe, tomorrow's so far away

There's something I just have to say

I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside

Another day, knowin' I love you

And I, I'm getting too close again

I don't want to see it end

If I tell you tonight will you turn out the light

And walk away knowin' I love you?

I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize,

Amanda

I'm gonna tell you right away, I can't wait another day,

Amanda

I'm gonna say it like a man and make you understand

Amanda

I love you

And I feel like today's the day

I'm lookin' for the words to say

Do you wanna be free, are you ready for me

To feel this way

I don't wanna lose you

So, it may be too soon, I know

The feeling takes so long to grow

If I tell you today will you turn me away

And let me go?

I don't wanna lose you

I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize,

Amanda

I'm gonna te ll you right away, I can't wait another day,

Amanda

I'm gonna say it lik e a man and make you understand

Amanda

You and I

I know that we can't wait

And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl

Tomorrow may be too late

You, you and I girl

We can share a life together

It's now or never

And tomorow may be too late

And, feelin' the way I do

I don't wanna wait my whole life through

To say I'm in love with you

For Amanda

the cloves

It's so cold out tonight (go on and take my sweater)

Just take your hand in mine

(baby, hold on forever)

Full moon glowing in your eyes

(I'm Getting Weaker)

Don't look back now, girl

(I have to tell you this)

CHORUS

Amanda, I never said this to anyone before

(It's getting too strong)

I just cant hide it anymore

Girl, Im falling in love (falling in love, falling in love)

With you

The wind is blowing

(You shiver as I tell you the things i need to say)

Kinda like the night we met

(is that a tear in your eye?)

then you throw your arms around me and say

(I LOVE YOU TOO)

[Agent_Dark]

Oh boy! An excuse to stock take

Of course, cough, I will have to test-taste random samples of said stock to ensure to a 97.5% degree of confidence that the stock is still in drinkable condition. Oh the Russian Roulette life I lead for Samanda!!!

I will volunteer for this cause if nessacary

[Agent_Dark]

LOL...you're almost as bad as Agent Dark...

Pfft, like thats actually a bad thing though

Not that my mum would mind an obsession with a gorgeous blonde but she already thinks I'm a geek and a little mental. Most people do.

Nup, that sounds perfectly sane to me

*looks through collection of Sam/Amanda pics*

Hehe, I've got a music vid of Sam/Amanda to that song... Admittedly, not my style of music, but the song fits the vid

[Skydiver]

Sorry to hear that Sky - pretty rough! - though you seem quite chilled about it!! We'll make sure we share our tales on the thread!

i'm quietly sulking. nothing will change reality. i'm really hoping that there's a gabit 2 or another con that amanda goes to. unless, of course, there's some rich millionaire who'd like to take me away from my hum drum life

[golfbooy]

I don't know whether or not anyone else saw this, but

Spoiler:

the very first spoilers for Grace Under Pressure have leaked out. This is Atlantis' oft-mentioned, sort of crossover with SG-1 and with Sam in particular. Here's the link to the thread on Gateworld.

Personally, this episode is gonna bother me. It seems to be just another example of Atlantis' inability to stand on its own merits. Intruder was a rehash of Entity , Runner was a rework of Deadman Switch, Conversion sounds like either Broca Divide or Bane (take your pick), Trinity introduces Atlantis' version of Bra'tac, Epiphany is a rehash of 100 Days, Critical Mass brings in the Goa'uld, and now Grace Under Pressure rehashes Grace. Am I the only one who sees Atlantis this way? Am I just being too critical, am I just so obsessed with SG-1 that I can't see anything else? Although, Peter DeLuise himself called Intruder Atlantis' version of Entity, and Martin Gero (it was either him or Mallozzi) stated that Grace Under Pressure is meant to remind us of Grace. SG-1 has been panned for years for supposedly doing too may "homages" of other sci-fi, why not Atlantis?

Wow, kinda got off on a rant there. Anyway, I was going to say that hopefully, at least for me, Sam won't be there just to continue to indulge McKay's morbid infatuation with her. When Sam and McKay are in the same episode, it always comes off to me that McKay's job is to not be as smart, brave, or likeable as Sam, and I don't really see how this episode could change that. It also strikes me as a little weird that McKay's mind would manifest itself as Sam, unless the writers want to address his own issues of inferiority/insecurity. What will really piss me off is if this is nothing but a comedic touch, if Sam is just there to kiss McKay and indulge those who beg for ship between them. I'm worried that Sam will come off looking worse, to McKay's benefit, at the end of this one.

Meh. For me, I'm just sick of Atlantis being lauded for scripts, plots, and twists that SG-1 came up with first. Atlantis seems to continually reap the benefits of SG-1, from production to plot, from actors to characters, while SG-1 gets nothing in return except a smaller budget, shared creativity, and a crappier timeslot. Sorry for the negativity, it's not usually my thing, but with this one I couldn't resist.
