Here's hoping that Sam's return does justice to her character! By the way, I wonder when we get to see spoiler pictures for Beach Head, for those so inclined?
Ok, I know this is probably not how it's going to happen, but this is how I envisioned Vala and Sam's first meeting to be.
Teal'c has just stepped through the Stargate with Mitchell standing at the bottom of the ramp awaiting his arrival. Sam is standing in the briefing room gazing down at the scene below as Daniel and Vala enter the room.
Daniel: Sam!!
Daniel walks over to Sam and gives her a hug while Vala stands back at the door trying to look inconspicuous.
Sam: (warm smile) Hey Daniel.
Daniel: (looks questioningly at Sam) They decided it was worth taking the risk?
Sam nods her head.
Daniel: I'm sorry Sam.
Sam: Yeah. Well. You know. Sam shrugs.
Daniel: We've really missed you. Mitchell hasn't stopped yammering about getting the team back together.
Sam: Really?
Daniel: You have no idea what we've been through the past few weeks.
Sam: (glancing over towards Vala) Oh, I think I have some idea.
Daniel: (lowers his voice to a low growl) I don't think I've ever met a woman so...so...manipulative, intrusive, and infuriating. Not to mention...
Sam: beautiful, intelligent and highly intriguing.
Daniel stands silently with his mouth a gape.
Sam: She really is quite smart, Daniel. Daniel looks inquisitively at Sam. I've read the reports regarding the Prometheus incident. Regardless of how annoying you may find her to be, you have to admit she's extremely resourceful.
Daniel: You're only saying that because you haven't had to work with her yet.
Sam:(grinning) Well you don't get to be a Lt. Colonel in the United States Air Force without dealing with people like Vala on occassion. I seriously doubt there is anything Vala could do or say that would get under my skin.
Vala: A trait Daniel here has yet to acquire. (smiling) Vala. Vala Malduran.
Sam: Lt. Colonel Sam Carter.
Vala: So... (looking Sam up and down) you're the brilliant astrophysicist the boys here at the SGC have been going on about.
Sam looks over towards Daniel who just shrugs.
Vala: Odd. I had pictured you to be a little more...I don't know...
Sam: ...what?
Vala: Well to be quite frank...male. Daniel never mentioned that you were a woman.
Daniel: She never asked. *looking extremely frustrated as he looks at Vala* You never asked.
Grinning, Sam steps back and watches Vala and Daniel begin to banter with one another, obviously forgetting that she is even there.
Very, very nice. If only TPTB can do something along this lines. It would be a blast.
Note: This is the first Actor/Character one of these I've done...I normally make them for episodes or fanfics.
Be kind!
Oh that pic is lovely, i think it shows Sam/Amanda in many differant ways and you've managed to capture that really well.
Wish i knew how to do this, i don't even know how to have a Sam sig in my posts All this is very new to me i'm afraid as i've only just in the last few months got a pc and learning my way around it!
The character of Carter had some major arcs over the course of the past couple of seasons where other characters (like Daniel and Teal'c) did not. That said, all of the respective team members will get their opportunity to shine over the course of season 9.
I’m upset by this because I’m thinking back to the last couple of season and this is what I have come up with. major spoilers
Spoiler:
Replicators - Carter and Daniel they both were tortured. yes Sam had a look a like she only dealt with her in one episode– entire team/Jacob destroyed them
Ascended & descending – Daniel including his time with Oma
Readjusting to SG-1 - Daniel
Trying to safe Sarah - Daniel
Freeing Jaffa – Teal’c
Personal relationships arc - Teal’c/Ishta Sam/Pete Jack/Kerry my ever hopeful Jack/Sam
Jack dealing with being in charge of the SGC
The rest were arcs dealt with by the entire Team.
Now this is off the top of my head. Can anyone else think of a major story arc that Sam was involved in? I'm not trying to be a smart aleck. I was thinking her story arcs were going along the same time as Daniel’s, Jack’s and Teal’c. I’m just curious I thought I would ask you guys before I ask JM about it.
On the up side:
Yay!!! Sam returns for the next episode!!!
Maybe JM implied that Sam's story arcs had the longest run of the last seasons. I can't find anything to add to your list but
Spoiler:
the Pete story arc lasted for both seasons and the Replicarter one for almost the entire season 8
.
I'd for once would have loved to add to the list a Sam commanding officer of SG1 story arc. Why didn't we get an episode dealing with that ? We had one focusing on Jack's new position in the SGC, why not one about Sam ?
I know the shippers aren't going to be pleased with me but I'd rather have a strong adventure type episode with Sam, as SG1's leader, dealing with Baal or whatever Goa'uld you want, than Threads.
Now I'm cowering in a corner waiting for some angry shippers to throw penguin missiles at me and rotten tomatoes.
Agent Dark ! Help me !
