Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Traveler Enroute1]

Okay, Samanda.....I just couldn't take it. After I saw Camelot last night, I realized it needed an episode tag. I mean, I just couldn't leave Sam hanging there til July, could I?

Here's one Samandan's view of what happened next.

Really? I read it the other day and loved it. It was really well done.

Hey mini, she reposted it the other day, that's probably why the original link is not working anymore. I also liked it very much, well done sg-1fanintn!

Fly-by post!

Thanks to those of you who e-mailed to comment on the Camelot Episode Tag story I uploaded last night. But when I read through it today, I wasn't satisfied, so I reworked it tonight.

Here's the link to the new story for anyone who wants it: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2840123/1/

I haven't changed that much.....just some rough spots I thought were created by haste and the fact that I had been up a long time when I wrote it. A little obsessive? Maybe. But I like it better now.

Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Well done, Dani! I completely forgot about that! I really ought to read the new version.

When Jack/RDA left, while I liked the concept of Sam leading SG-1 with Daniel and Teal'c, I never really wanted her to overshadow them in any respect. All three of them have played an important role over the years, and they deserve their time to shine.

I agree. With Jack gone, the writers had the perfect opportunity to show the dynamics between the remaining three members of the team and how they would work together.

Even if Sam was the leader, she wouldn't dominate the show any more than Teal'c or Daniel would if they were in charge because each of the trio brings their own expertise, strengths and weaknesses to the group and, between them, they are more than well equipped to handle what is thrown at them. They could have showed Sam, Daniel and Teal'c's emotional ties as well as their work together and it would never have been a case of one of them being the star of the show.

Sadly, TPTB failed to take advantage of the golden opportunity they were handed and instead we had Season Nine.

I think that it would be possible, though perhaps difficult, to salvage the show for Season Ten but the real question is whether TPTB are willing to do so, and whether or not they recognize the need to.

Eeeee!! That means just ... one more week and it'll be done, right?! Then I can read it ALLLLL!!! I'm so excited!

mini(the impatient)geek

yep, actually the last chapter is more of an epilogue and hopefully i'll be putting it up later on this week.

It looks like I'm gonna have to rely on the fanfics to get my Sam fix now that the season's over. Really, these fics really help me get past the several months we have to wait until the season premiere.

I agree. There's only so many times you can rewatch old eps. But now that we have eight seasons on DVD to play with, it's not so bad!

[ranchan2]

Yeah, I'll probably plop down with a couple of the DVD sets and have a little SG1 marathon, but there are just some ideas of a story you might have cooking in your head and that's where the fics come into play. I, for one, like fics of alternate realities. One that I particularly enjoyed was 'The Crossroads of Eshu' by Melyanna. It's very Sam-centric.

Melyanna's a very good writer. She usually does Sparky fics, I think. I've never read one of her SG1 fics. I don't mind AU fics, they give a lot of scope and allow you to stray further from canon without it seeming surreal. But sometimes it can get really confusing, like in "Gone Underground", Lili's current Work In Progress. It's a good story, just very confusing with all the different realities.

[ranchan2]

I really enjoyed 'The Crossroads of Eshu' because it I could really imagine it being an episode or several. I know I've read some of Melyanna's Sparky fics, but this one really has stood out in my mind and is, I think, my favorite.

I'll have to give it a go. Thanks for the rec.

[ranchan2]

No problem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
