Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Skydiver]

that's the motto for the writers....plot holes are us

season 9 is just 'holier' than usual

[sg-1fanintn]

The character of Samantha Carter changed much in Season 9 in my opinion. She's funnier... and more outgoing. Not saying it's bad. Just different. In crusade, she seems to say Kawoosh for the first time in the whole series. The old Carter would say unstable vortex or something like that. I guess it's outgoing and wild Mitchell. Just.. different.. what do you think?

She is older, more confident.....and she's very comfortable in her relationship with Jack! So, she has relaxed a lot!

In other words:

+ = (Always)

Oma-ism nudge:

If any one moment in time is merely an entropic state in a reversible equation, can the fish ever truly be in the pond?

Too deep for my feeble brain.....but I like the sound of it!!!

To NearlyCircular and the rest of you wonderful people, thank you for your outpouring of love and support, and for your birthday wishes. My mom is deteriorating, and I'm on my way back to hospital now. However, after reading my PM's, I had to thank you all. You have no idea how much your messages have helped.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I don't know what else to say. This past few weeks has been so very hard for my family and myself, but I believe the end is very near. Knowing that there are people you have never met, praying for you and your loved one, is an amazing feeling.

I hope you're doing ok Lida. Very tough times for you, I know. But I hope you're looking after yourself too.
Take care, and I hope your birthday was reletively stress free.
Know that we're thinking of you.

Has anyone seen the March edition of Impact magazine which is apparently a UK publication that came out on February 23 and has an interview with AT? Thanks.

Deepspace - I'm keeping a spreadsheet so the email with the subject-line will help me keep track of it. If you can email it to [email protected] - it'd be easier to keep track of. If not, of course you can PM me. PM me any time.

It's just that I actually can't email you because I don't have an email address . If I can PM you that would mean that I could still be a part of the signature poster and not have to miss out. So thankyou . I will get to work on writing something.
I am sorry if it makes it hard for you to organise though. I hate causing things to be difficult.

A few flying comments before bed...

Thanks for all the nice remarks about the debate on the "Who Should Lead" thread. I enjoy written debate when I have the time; I just hope I didn't jump in and step on Ooober's or Spaz's toes... if I did, I'm sorry.

Critical acclaim of science fiction/fantasy - if you watch SciFi's made for TV movies, you will understand why "scifi" continues to have a bad rep with most critics. It's an image that persists and will continue to persist as long as the genre is associated with such drek. I still laugh at the mere mention of "Frankenfish." Imagine the horror of a serious critic.

Frankenfishly, I thought it was nothing short of a miracle that Return of the King won the best picture Oscar given that it was a "fantasy" film. But then the LOTR books started an entire genre of book publishing, so there is power in Professor Tolkien's stories. Who knows, maybe the LOTR movies brought/will bring a measure of respectability to science fiction and fantasy films, too, and, by extension, TV shows. But you'll also notice that none of the actors in LOTR received any Oscar acting nods. I don't think mainstream Hollywood is ready to acknowledge that it takes talent to act in front of a bluescreen and imaginary monsters...

I felt no pangs in my little piggies...all are intact */me wiggles toes to confirm*

I think we're pretty much on the same page here actually.

I personally think it's her daughter Olivia.

The joy of discovery of a whole new world that Olivia's been experiencing this past year, along with achievements that's been happening has Amanda proud.

So AT has incorporated this into the way she's playing Sam.

But, then again, ir could be what stargate barbie said and she's chosen to play it this year.


YMMV

more than anything we can think up for 'sam's' reasons, i think it's just the way amanda's chosen to play sam. really, there isn't much *for* amanda to do with sam this season, since they're ignoring her last two years character growth. i think the only thing amanda 'can' do is make the most of it and play her a bit lighter and more self assured.

she's 'getting some', who wouldn't be more relaxed?

You're great at putting together clear and concise arguments, Strix. There are no toes to step on when you're debating logically.

(Plus, I think the whole thing's on its last leg anyway )

Hi, I just wanted to go on here to say I'm sorry I haven't been on (I know it gets so busy, I don't know if people noticed, but anyway...) but I have had a lot of really stressful things going on (that I don't want to get into), so it's been hard to get on here. Just wanted to drop a line to say I'm still around and hopefully I will be able to come back on a regular basis after I get stuff straightened out, but for now I'm probably gonna be gone for a bit. I hate to do that after I was already gone from this thread for a while, but it is the other threads too.

And I do want to say all of you are awesome people, and thank you for being so nice and making my day better many times.
