Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Skydiver]

I was thinking the same things as I watched "Heros" 2 last night... ..Except your words were more articulate and eloquent then mine ever would be...

yeah. sam and amanda do a lot to bring the human feelings and emotion into the show.

the folks that i used to work with, called her the 'chick with the anime eyes' because they're so expressive

Heehee! Very cute!

That was a very powerful epsode, however I like to believe it didn't happen and Janet is still with us, (well that's in my world anyway)

And they have been able to replace her with any real satisfaction

I was at a convention the summer the eighth season was showing - Amanda was asked to comment on the new doctors in the 8th season - she said they were good actors but nobody could replace Teryl, then she got a little bit choked up and hurridly went on to the next question...

[Skydiver]

yeah, they were the tiny little estrogen bubbles in a sea of testosterone

i miss janet. no matter who they try to recast, they will never adequately replace that character

They can't. And I think they have enough respect for her that they haven't even tried to yet. Even Lam isn't depicted as a replacement, she's so different. Plus, it seems to me that Amanda and Teryl became great friends, and Amanda seems to feel things quite deeply, so I wouldn't be surprised if she still really misses her at work. I really think that's a big reason so many people like and respect Amanda so much; her gift is that she seems to really let herself care about people and she's probably a wonderful friend to have because of that. Teryl seems a great deal like that, too. That's just my own uneducated psycho-babble, of course, but I'd wager on it even so.

Happy Birthday Paradox Realities !

Ooops I made a typo I mean't to say they haven't been able to replace her with any real satisfaction.

Edit: maybe I should stay away from the Royal Bar

They really need to find a way to get her back IMHO. I mean Daniel's died so many times I've lost count and it is scifi after all...

btw oh miniature geeksterette...I reprinted your instructions so how long do I have to come up with some brill masterpiece for the thing?

[the dancer of spaz]

Yay!
Happy Birthday,

Ooober or Mini can you please post the instructions for the masterpiece for the rest of us who can't seem to find them?

Big thanks,

For those of you who can see the SG1 episode tonight, I see it's AT's directing debut "Resurrection." Some nice Sam-Barrett interaction for all you Barrett fans. I don't see him as a love interest for her, but I do like their interactions.

There were parts of Resurrection I liked and artistically it was very well presented (I'll credit the director for her choices in this regard).

And I get from a time constraint issue that Sam would not play as big a part as she should.

But storyline-wise, it would have made sense for Sam to have spent more time with the girl. I mean who else would understand what it's like to feel that other personality burgeoning in her mind?

And I did like the Sam/Barrett interactions. Poor guy.

Good point--but didn't MS write this or at least the story the final script was based on? It's likely he saw this as a Daniel episode. I wonder how the episode would have gone as a "Sam episode?"

[jckfan55]

We were talking at one point about convention questions for AT. I wonder what she would think about the fact that she's referred to as one of the "Big 3" by die hard fans of the original team? (such as me)
