I thought this was interesting ... This comes from an interview from AT during the first season after Singularity and Solitudes aired in April 1998... Since I mentioned I liked these two episodes earlier.
Tapping makes special mention of "Singularity", an episode "involving a little girl that I become very attached to. That was an important show in terms of showing Carter's ability to love, and her need to be loved. It shows a great deal of her compassion, her struggle with being a strong, military woman, this detachment she's supposed to have [contrasted with] her attachment to this little girl. It was nice to play all the sides of that coin. Carter is a very smart woman, but she's also quite impulsive in that she's ruled by her heart. She'll go against orders because she truly feels it's the right thing to do. I like that about her."
Then there's "Solitudes," which is significant in Tapping's estimation because it allowed her to express the full range of her character's attributes. In the episode, Carter and O'Neill are stranded on an icy planet and, when O'Neill is severely injured, it's left to Carter to find the Stargate and return them safely home. "That one runs the gamut for her," Tapping explains. "It shows her determination to try and find a way out, and it shows her physical strength in that she has to dig her way out of this glacier. And it allows her to be a scientist in that she must find a way to get the gate working. I'm very proud of that episode."
