thanks.
i choose to be quiet, though, because i have literally nothing to offer except negativity. now, if i had some positivity too, then i'd post more and go between the two. but with just negativity... i don't want to subject ppl to nothing *but* that. so when the show gives me something to be positive about, i'll peep up. (believe me, i'm doing you a favor )

Originally posted by Skydiverunfortunately yes. in some ways it was rather cliche of them, especially since, IIRC, in his first inception pete was to have been a reporter, but there was a real reporter in denver by that name so they made him a cop
it would have been nice to have seen Pete NOT dig into things. NOT be a threat. NOT be an 'embarrassment'.
would have been original
(i'm doing it again)

Hi,
I've been reading posts here on and off through the holidays. Always felt like someone had covered my opinion by the time I read them. But... I've found a reason for my first post
I have to throw out thoughts on Pete. I agree he was doomed from the start, but they could have made it a more interesting ride.
As a cop. he should've understood why Sam couldn't talk about her job.
Would he talk about open cases and evidence? Hopefully not.
I didn't get why the FBI would find our her file was "scrubbed". Why would it have to be? She's an officer in the Air Force adnd works at Cheyenne Mountain. There's no reason they'd have to no more than that, especially on a request that had no reason to be made.
And his following her did me in, because it showed the lack of trust.
I've enjoyed Sam as a character. The bad as well as the good should make her a stronger character. If TPTB don't know what to do with the character, maybe they could do an internet search. There are a lot of interesting women in the world.

I'm trying very hard to remain positive about everything. But it's not easy sometimes. Especially given I've asked (and seen other ask) about those strong!Sam aspects (pilot!Sam, leader!Sam, etc) a few times already and been told "not likely" or "not as yet", by Joe M.
(snip)
Also, given they'll want to flesh out Cameron (and likely Vala), as new characters with shiny-clean-slates in terms of backstory, Sam's personal tribulations will almost certainly take a back burner to those new elements. I I know the writing team has already said they feel she's been the most developed of all the characters and that 'the others' need their time to shine now.
That's my worst-case scenario for Sam. I'm certainly hoping it doesn't end up that way, but it's a prediction I'm afraid I have to make, given current (and future) storylines.
I have hope, of course. I always have hope. But at the end of the day, I'm a realist as well, and the reality is that the current writing team has been lacking the inspiration I feel they once had. I'm not sure why that is, but I can definitely see it in the current stories so far, and character developments. New blood on the writing team would be tremendous at this point, I think. Female blood even more-so if you were to ask me.
i think ALL tv writers should be required to watch their first few seasons, everytime they're in hiatis. i think they not only forget what gave their show 'it', but how to write it.

I hope you had a good time in Peru and enjoyed the stay.
Did I mention that I'm jealous ?

Originally posted by Skydiversoon after gabit was annonced we discussed some appareal that we could get made to make the samandans stand out at the various cons amanda will be at this year.
folks weren't too crazy about a t-shirt, especially given that it can be hard to manage sizes and the such, however they did like the idea of a patch, something that can be sewn onto a shirt or jacket. I can't remember what page the samples are on, but i made a couple of round samples and was inviting others to put forth ideas, also checking out the feasibilty of getting the patches made if folks agree.
it was also discussed that, since we'll likely have to get more made than we need, to get permission to sell those extras at at least the gabit con, with the profits going to one of amanda's charities.
this is also something that's still in the discussion phase because we don't know if folks like it, if folks are wanting to do it and, if htey agree and like the idea, we then have to discuss it with the gabit folks and get their blessing
Darn, wish I could afford Gabit too .

speaking of calendars, ... did anyone notice that Amanda was not included in that Women of SciFI calendar that Shanks and Judge put together and are selling. Teryl Rothery & Lexa Doig is in it, but Amanda isn't__. ___ Kinda makes you go.... hhhhmmm. I wonder if they didn't ask or if she said no.
