Good questions, Sally. I have to admit I don't have a clue, but I hope she's *the* problem solver for our planet. Although I guess we won't know until January if that's the case.

And, just so it doesn't slip by....

Congratulations on post 4200!

I'm happy to see her back. I hope we see her in some civilian clothes.

Well we get to see her in civilian clothes pretty early on in Season 9...in Ex Deus Machina...

Oh, gee! You don't mean you finally found a reason for us to watch (*shudder*) Affinity again???!!!???

LOL!! I went back and watched for the lady playing with children in the background, lo and behold there was two ladies and both trying to get the child to come down the slide! So i just had to rewind and go into slow motion and i think it's the second lady who i think is Amanda's mum, the side profile on the lady looked like Amanda

Anyway i just laughed to my self after realising that i was watching "that scene" and trying to not watch what was going on right in front of me because i wanted to see behind the scenes!

My take on the "Amanda talking about Sam and Jack issue" thing:

She's probably sick to death of the topic.

I mean, it's a great flavor for the character...to have her experience a situation where she's dealing with feelings for Jack, not knowing how to handle it, responding poorly, blah...blah...blah...

But just like any seasoning, it's meant to be taken in small doses. When that's all a character is reduced to (or seems to have been reduced to), I imagine it can get tedious for her as an actress to have to deal with this one issue ALL THE TIME.

I honestly wouldn't read a ton into this Sal. Amanda's vascilated on this issue quite a bit. I mean, I've seen her talk about the fact that Sam and Jack should NEVER get together...and then I've seen her say they should...then in commentaries, she's giddy when pointing out shippy moments...then I saw her say "either do or don't but enough already"... In the Behind SciFi Friday, she said she was glad the issue was addressed and dealt with...but now let's see Professional!Sam or as she put it "it's time to up the body count." Jack's no longer around so let's see Sam now...without the weight of the ship anchored about her neck. Let's see how she's growing and changing.

She knows where the fans stand (both pro and con) and regardless of what she said in that particular interview, I think she wouldn't mind seeing them end up together in the long run as long as it wasn't THE focus for the show or her character. At GateCon, she talked about how vague the show was going to be on that issue but that the door is open for the future and she genuinely seemed happy about it.

She wants to have Sam grow, to see what these changes and decisions have meant for her life and to show her continuing to evolve. She doesn't want Sam to solely be seen as the other half of Sam and Jack. I can dig this and I agree with it. I personally want to see Sam as a more confident kickbutt member of SG-1 and let's revisit ship later.

I kinda laughed when I read that quote, to be honest...because I don't think she really feels that way at all. My guess is she wants a break from the Sam/Jack issue for awhile. Let's focus on Carter as an officer and a scientist...and then we'll see...

**crazedturkey** · 05 September 2005, 09:58 PM

There's some nice Sam Teal'c stuff in there as well with the whole 'Indeed' bit. That was nice, cos you don't get to see it that often..

That and 'welcome to MY life'!

Plus, all of Space Race.

Jack: "That's not our language!"
Sam: "Its mine, sir."

I think Space Race shows Sam's sense of adventure, her spunk, her ingenuity, sense of humor, etc. We get to see more of how she is with others besides the regulars because she's out of the SGC and T, Daniel and Jack aren't always around her in this ep. Look how it starts out - her rushing into the SGC in her motorcycle-wear. Very cool. She's in character, but just MORE of her character in this ep, IMHO.

Cute, AD...but since she goes back and forth on this issue all the time, I think I'll stick with what she said at the ComicCon and go with that since it's what she's said most recently...

You go right ahead and pick whichever quote you'd like to hang your hat on...

My thoughts exactly. It's great to see Sam really take control and show everyone what she's capable of without such an emotional millstone around her neck.

**Skydiver** · 06 September 2005, 03:08 AM

i think she's sick and tired of it too. i mean, every single interview focuses on that one single aspect of Sam. and let's face it, it is rather a cliche - lead female MUST fall for lead male

now don't get me wrong, i do love the sam/jack angle, however some of what i see as cringeworthy moments have also been sam/jack ones because our fair writers just aren't quite in touch enough with their feminine side and don't write what i see to be 'good' ship moments most of the time.

usually, the stuff that fans see as 'good' are when the actors take the writers ideas/words and put thier own spin on them

and yes, amanda has gone back and forth. i think she picks up on the tone/mood of the interviewer and goes with it.
