Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[KatG]

Samandans, come on, be honest: how many of you would have been the Princess and how many of you would have been the Knight as a kid?

I always wanted to be a cowboy and a knight and a soldier - never was much into that whole little homemaker gig! What about others? Something tells me there were a lot of Sam Carter Juniors from the Samanda crowd ... care to share?

*raises hand*

Never wanted to play the "girl" games. The boys had so much more fun.

I'm only an ickle baby, so probably.

Though a lot of the time I feel like an old, withered hag.

[Myrth]

Me too... I was always the "hero" of our little imaginary stories... comes with being the oldest in the group I had GI-Joe's not barbie dolls!

because, *to me*, mitchell doesn't have the leadership presense, the team can't jell together anymore. sam, daniel, and teal'c don't love this man. they won't follow him to hell and back. they don't *know* him like they knew jack. they either should have had mitchell cast with an older actor, or they should have left things alone and let sam be the leader again.

all the scenes that have come into my mind on *really* having this group feel like a team; they all take place with sam leading the group. because daniel and teal'c *would* follow *sam* to hell and back. the trust and intimacy is already there with sam in the leadership spot. it's not there with mitchell. and if mitchell were played by an older actor, at least the others would feel the pull of his presense (of course depending on the casting *tom selleck*, or even beau bridges).

of course, this is all just personal taste.

I think that's it Sally. From the get go, the rest of SG-1 totally respected Jack. They trusted him and it came across in their attitude and demeanor. We don't get that with Mitchell, and as a result we don't have really have a team. We have one buffoon and his back up crew.

Barbie Dolls? Eeek! I couldn't stand them. I could never get the clothes to go on right or the shoes to stay on their feet. About the only cool thing about Barbie was the car.

I was much more likely to be playing with my train set or my hot wheels set. Even better was "imagine". We had these woods across the street that became an uncharted forest, the ditches became canyons and the creek became a huge river to be forded. And of course I was the "great explorer", blazing new trails.

Wow. I used to get people bullying me, or laughing at me cos I played on my own. I was quite a strange kid at primary school, until about middle of year 5 when the teacher pulled me in and told me to stand up for myself.

As soon as I hit secondary school, though, I became the class entertainer and clown. I think I was more popular because I had been on TV and in theatre productions though, rather than personality.

You sound so popular, though, Sky. Not that it's surprising. Everyone seems to love you.

in a lot of way i like cameron. i like his enthusiasm and his sense of fun...but, and there had to be a but, his enthusiasm seems better suited to someone like jonas, a member of the team not the leader of the team.

sam is enthusiastic and fun too, but she knows when to put it aside and get down to business.

cam still hasn't figured that out yet

now, tptb will impress the stuffins out of me if, in another eps or two, sam and cam have a little heart to heart and she takes him down a peg or two and gets him playing right

lol

smoke and mirrors.

i never fit in with the 'cool kids' in school.

i don't do sports, i'm not outgoing and i was the geek with the glasses and braces reading a book in the corner

[Historian]

Sky, you naughty girl. :d:d:d

I just finished reading part 4 of Trinkets. I really, really, REALLY ... did I mentioned really ? loved it. Oh, and cookie monster in part 3 was a nice touch

[Historian]
