Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[ChopinGal]

It's about time for another scifi motivational poster. Here's one from another Sam fan, Geogirl, who plays mostly in another scifi forum. She knows I like to share her handiwork at Samanda too.

I was thinking back to the episode Maternal Instinct, and all those deep Oma'isms. Do we have enough Oma's here to finish this very deep thought

Question for Doctor Samantha Carter: In your expert opinion, Doctor, why is it that whenever people are out of phase with this dimension (pick any tv series that's ever done this), said people pass through everything except the floor?

Now mini is that a fair question, considering the writers, producers and directors have no idea how to answer that question

[Tok'Ra Hostess]

great scenario, mandy!

i was going to let others contribute before giving mine, but i'm too antsy.


sg1, landry, and vala are in the briefingroom. everyone leaves, leaving sam and vala alone. sam starts to get up from the table when vala starts a conversation.

vala: so, colonel carter... can i call you sam?

*sam glances up and nods*

vala: so, do you find daniel attractive?

*cocks a brow* sam: attractive, as in sexually attractive?

*vala nods*

sam: no. i know he's an attractive man, but daniel and i aren't like that together.

vala: okay. then do you find teal'c attractive?

sam: why are you asking me these questions?

vala: how about mitchell? he's very interesting...

sam: vala, i'm not sexually attracted to any of these men. they're my *friends*. *pauses* okay?

*sam finishes gathering her notes and begins to leave the table.*

vala: do you find *me* sexually attractive?

*sam stops in her tracks. she glances to vala*

sam: no, vala, i don't.

*vala grins*

sam: and i don't think you're attacted to me either.

*vala raises a questioning brow*

*sam walks toward the door but suddenly stops and looks back at vala*

sam: was your symbiote male or female?

vala: what difference does that make? and besides, symbiotes are non-gendered.

sam: well, if you were used to the influence of a male perspective, like your symbiote had been in a male body before taking over--

vala: what bloody difference does that make!?

sam: and i think you just like using sex to control and dominate the men around you. must be hard to deal with me then, vala, seeing as i'm not vulnerable to your machinations.

*vala rolls her eyes*

*sam opens the door*

sam: you know, vala, you and i have a lot more in common than you realize.

vala: and how's that? we're both forced to wear boring outfits?

sam: that we've both been taken over by goaulds, and that we've both survived our encounters and have left-over memories and abilities.

*vala stares boringly at sam*

*sam shrugs*

sam: hey, no problem, vala. *starts to walk out door* too bad, though, because i wouldn't have minded having someone to talk to about jolinar, and her--

vala: what did you say?

sam: what?

vala: did you say jolinar?

sam: yes.

vala: how the hell do you know that name?

sam:... because that's the symbiote i had.

*vala blanches*

sam: vala?

vala: jolinar saved my life...

Here is another cap I did when I was working on S2

then the candle burned out a long time ago.

If one has a big wick, then.....

... one needs a lot of tallow.

We had a few takers for Deepspace's idea about picking an older episode to discuss last week. For anyone who'd like to do the same this week, the Monday night SciFi lineup looks like:

Evolution Pt. 1

Politics
Within the Serpent's Grasp
Serpent's Lair

[astrogeologist]

heck, maybe while sam, daniel, and teal'c are stuck in the corner, they can go on mini adventures in their little area. sam will run tests on the angles of the corner, daniel will try to 'communicate' with the corner, and teal'c will shoot the dust that dares to exist in their corner!

ROTFLOL!

The Dream

I had a dream, said Sam
Extricating herself from a jam
Of wires and sensors designed to test
Sam's innermost desires while at rest

I am in command of SG1
Jack is gone and there is none
So well qualified to walk in his shoes
Than I, myself, the one he did choose

Even though I took short leave
I always planned to return, retrieve
My former post as I comprehend
Lt. Colonel Sam Carter, leader of men

For this I was groomed as I did my time
I covered my CO's six and kept things in line
Years of off-world combat as I slogged through hell
While watching my comrades, I learned lessons well

I stood up for the weakest and worked many a night
At computers and simulations to lessen the fight
Using brainpower rather than firepower in wars that had to be waged
Yet I was ready for either and not afraid to engage

I earned the respect of my comrades-in-arms
And gained admiration for my natural charm
No matter what happened, how low things had sunk
You could count on Sam Carter's spirit and spunk

So now I'm confused as I awake from my slumber
I'm attached to these wires and feeling quite somber
My dream seemed so real, it was who I had become
But in awakening I'm faced with a troubling conundrum

I wanted to be at the top of my game
But now my desires are sounding quite lame
There are new men at the top who are giving the orders
And I've been displaced, a citizen without borders

I worked and I strived to be all I can be
But somehow gender and youth are compromising me
I'm Lt. Colonel Sam Carter, past leader of men
How do I reclaim what now has been taken?

***APPLAUSE***

Coming and Going …

Well here she is once again
Back for a super Season Ten
The boys are here, Danny, Teal’c and Cam
And someone new (let’s hope she’s not a ham)

Where it all will go is still uncertain
“What do we do with Sam?” left the fans hurtin’
We hope the writers did learn their lesson
And with Sam’s character they stop a messin’

Sam’s looking good and feeling strong
At the head of SG-1 is where she belongs
Loyal fans know that Sam is legit
A certain macho male seems counterfeit

If they don’t restore Sam’s command
We hope they do lend the new guy a hand
Send him to school to learn how to lead
Right now he seems like he may be on speed

Sam really likes him as a kid brother
But can she trust him as she did another?
Her former CO with eyes so brown
Could make a joke but was not a clown

Jack was what a leader should be
Mature, resourceful and, yes, humility
Taking care of those in his charge
In Sam’s eyes, he always stood large

From him she learned how to pull her weight
Each time the four of them went through the Gate
They’d fight and talk and walk and run
It was one for all and all for one

Those were the best eight years of Carter’s career
By year eight Jack stayed on the base and he let her steer
He taught her well and Sam passed the test
Showing that she, indeed, could lead the rest

AT was just getting settled into her new role
When a personal event put Sam Carter on hold
Instead of writing Sam as gone but not dismissed
TPTB took Season Nine and gave it a twist

The new guy was crowned as king of the show
Sam Carter in charge just had to go
Motherhood loomed and she had to wait
To return to the set, return to the Gate

When Amanda came back to play Sam
She may have felt like she had been on the lam
The season already moving into episodes 6 and 7
She had to jump in and take what was given

It was a good gig and she got back her groove
Sam Carter belonged and made the right moves
Yet something was missing and it didn’t seem right
That sense of command and a team that hung tight

Yes, it was a blending, of course not a Tok’ra
They were learning a new dance, the old one was over
The rhythm was off but the beat still went on
The fans were still hanging around, hoping for fun

New villains and characters came into our midst
The Priors and Orii and chubby Nerus
Season Nine sped on by and now almost gone
Some battles were lost, some battles were won

Sam Carter grew into a leader, a chief
She rose to the top if only so brief
Why can’t we see her as that once again
Now that we’re getting her back in S10?

***WHOOT!*** Chopingal, you're literary talents always amaze me!
Thanks so much for posting and sharing with us all!

Weather Report …
Mostly Sunny with Occasional Thunderstorms

Samanda is a safe place
To escape for a moment or two
Take a look at the great photos
Share a comment, feel less blue

Get caught up in Sam discussions
Check in with friends, old and new
Sam is what has drawn us all here
And from love of her, many friendships grew

It’s almost magical what has happened
A few early posts on what makes Sam great
Have turned into a multi-paged thriving thread
About all things Sam and the Stargate

There have been many sterling moments
And moments of discontent too
Samandans are quite passionate
Strong feelings can cause hullabaloo

We want what is best for Sam
To see her always well written
Carter has been a role model for many
Don’t take away what has already been given

So we watch and wait
Rejoice and worry
New plots and characters
May change Sam Carter’s story

We are a diverse group of thinkers
Our feelings at times overflow
We have many highs and lows
Sometimes disillusioned with the show

Just when things get too, too angsty
Some Samandan does the deed
To change the tone or wisely remind
That kindness here is what we need

And so, just like a great big family,
In moments of chaos and contention
We remember Hic Comitas Regit
And try to temper our dissension

We can agree to disagree and state our opinions fairly
Annoyance at writers and characters are to be expected
Keeping in mind that a role is not the person behind that role
Should keep the actors well respected

Looking back on the early days of Samanda
There was lots of joy and laughter
Great discussions, teasing banter
The proverbial “happy ever after”

The honeymoon couldn’t last forever
We’ve grown and changed and so has Samanda
New seasons came and troubling questions arose
What was best for Sam and best for Amanda?

The kingdom was full of comment and opinion
Being loyal to both, we felt the need to protect
Some voices were raised in defense, while others took offense
Singularities collided, along with mutual respect

Remember what drew us here in the first place
Sam Carter and the actor who brings her to life
Amanda is our role model as well, a kind and generous spirit
Let’s follow her lead as we manage the occasional strife

Hic Comitas Regit

...and then you go an one-up yourself!
