That's what I said to AD, Myrth and Oooober last night. I said you'd be happy.

I agree with all who said AT was at the top of her game & showed great comedic timing in RE.

Agent Dark Land. It's a fantasy world only he inhabits. Although it seems the population has increased to two.

The last time I heard it was four - AD, two Sam clones and one Janet clone.

And it was apparently an international center for the development of applications for naquadah power generation, too.

Thanks for correcting my completely idiotic mistake. Of course it is!

Hey, hardly that! I claim no expertise on AD's World - I just like to tease him about his Naquadah-Powered Toaster Oven, Waffle Iron, Blender, Gale Force 5 Leaf Blower, Refridgerator (converts easily to an Ancient-style dormata with the shelves and racks removed), Roombah (never needs emptying - the dirt goes directly into the black hole that creates the little vacuum cleaner's powerful suction to start with

), etc., that his Sam Clones have made for him. It seems to be a lively household.

In fact I seem to remember some discussion that there might be a third Sam Clone either at, or headed for, AD's house??? But, of course, he's been much too, reticent, busy, or gentlemanly

to confirm or deny the rumor...

No, no, no ! Not a third Sam clone but a Vala clone. AD has claimed her as part of his world. Of course, in AD's world, it's Vala without any archeologist toy in tow.

Yes, that's right. Somehow my Sam clone mysteriously got way laid. We still think it got to AD's house. THough that's quite a detour from the Uk.

Of course! Silly me! ::shakes head:: That'd be a 'D'uh' and a 'Mea Culpa' here.

I just hope all AD's nifty naquadah gizmos don't disappear to finance some shady back-alley deals before somebody - the Janet Clone - can lay down the law to the Vala Clone and convince her who's in charge - which would also be the Janet Clone!

**Mandysg1** · 22 January 2006, 11:52 AM

Sam: Gee it's nice to have some one I can talk to.

Eek!

Given the number of people across various universes who apparently want Sam Carter for various reasons, I don't envy the employee at the transport company who has to track down that wayward shipment!

Though, somehow, I wouldn't recommend calling in Detective Shanahan to help them out, either...

Yes, I noticed this too. I think there actually is evidence of co-leading:

I've been busy this weekend but skimming all the posts re: RE and, yes Dani, you seem to sum it up quite nicely: this was AT at the top of her game!

How wonderful and refreshing to see that again! She was in such fine form: delivery of lines, gestures, nailing all the multiple Sams with just the right touch at the right moment, and, for once, she didn't have to overplay the angst or play backup ... classic Sam Carter! Bring it on! Hope there's more in the writer's bag from where this came from.

I, too, thought the editing wasn't the best. I don't know where you guys found the "deleted scenes" (haven't found them myself) but I can't believe that the initial moment of Sam seeing Janet again was left on the cutting-room floor or never even written/shot! And the continual ambiguous use of Sam's shippy choices (was it Jack?! was it Pete?!) also was a letdown. The writers should be willing and brave enough to just write the logical conclusion that many are expecting without this protracted teasing.

The cast interaction was mostly good and fun to watch as many of you have already written. Teal'c extending the "come back" to Janet at the very end was moving and hopeful. Making Martouf a part of Janet's AU SG team seemed to leave room for him to return also. The "almost kiss" still puzzles me ... and seemed extraneous. More unneeded ambiguity. Sam addressing her regret at having to kill him - yes, that would have been powerful. They addressed Janet's death. This could have been a two-parter ...

I'm happy because I saw a Sam who was both relaxed and self-confident, using her skills well, enjoying the camaraderie of her team and ready to deliver when needed! See Sammy run!!

Great post, ChopinGal! I saw Sam this way too---relaxed and self-confident. It is actually noticable to me in this episode when I compare Sam in the previous episodes. More classic Sam here as you say, using her skills, being funny at times, and looking relaxed with her teammates. Let's hope for much much more of the same as we continue in season 9.

**TLWROX** · 22 January 2006, 01:09 PM

I don't think that we need to bow down to the writers just because they might see our posts and we shouldn't say anything bad about their "babies". I've seen throughout this whole thread "this was the best ep. this season" but that's not saying much. I've seen the beginning of this season. I'm not saying this this ep. was bad mind you, I'm just disappointed that after all of this time, after 7 1/2 seasons of great episodes (not a big fan of some of S8) this is the best they can do. Watching past episodes for me is really disheartening now after seeing what they've done to the fans S9. And I'm not just talking about them completely getting rid of S/J. I'm talking about the lack of really thrilling storylines. I'm talking about the lack of closeness in the new SG-1- even between Teal'c, Sam, and Daniel.They're not THEM. It's like a whole new writing team has taken over since Jack left. They're missing something. And I don't care if Joseph Mallozzi will see this and I have to edit it because God forbid he should see something negative about his baby.
Yes, 14 Sam's was awesome, I'm not arguing with that. But to have ONE good episode out of 17 when we've received, season after season, of awesome episodes- that's what I'm arguing. That's what I'm upset about. I care too much about this show to sit back and wade through crummy episodes till I get to that one "good" one.
And I know I'm a newbie, and I probably don't have the right yet to speak my mind this brazenly, but I had to sit around while The Lost World- my favorite show- was screwed over by TPTB and I can't do it for SG-1. They've been on too many seasons and have had too many extraordinary episodes for me to just sit back and not complain about their lack of- je ne sais qua.
That's it. I'm done ranting. If I've offended anyone- so be it.
