Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Mandysg1]

was that in response to what i said?

fic wise, i LOVE stories like that. but i love other types too, including and especially sam-whumping fics.

i'd also love to see a domestic type storyline for sam (ONLY with jack, though! ) on the show. we've never seen sam like this. i think it would be *very* interesting, considering that amanda's living that life right now and could add personal insights and gestures to it.

Thanks all. I guess it looks like I'm 3 sheets to the wind (more like 3 fries short of a happy meal)...but in truth, I do not drink. Well, I DO drink...but like water and coffee. And anything with any kind of chocolately anything in it.

Oh, btw, congrats Mandysg1 on your 800th post!

Wow Über 3200 posts you have had a lot to say

Over 32000 posts for the thread - wonder how many we will have next week when a few of us will be seeing AT in Vancouver

I'm so ready for the vacation next week at the Vancouver Con

And just for the other people who might be lurking, it is perfectly acceptable to be a fan of Sam and not necassarily want her to lead SG1 We welcome all fans of Sam here

Great point, Agent Dark. I think some fans do make some good points about why they don't want Sam to lead, and these are fans who do like her. I would like to see her lead, and feel that she should lead SG-1, but fans who believe otherwise should feel welcome here too.

you know, i'm split on the leadership thing. I have no issue with sam leading, and i'd have no issue with her following...if cameron was just more clearly defined.

he's a leader that doesn't act like one. he acts like some green captain or lieutenant most of the time...which is my issue with him leading. It's not that sam isn't, just that cam does such a poor job of it that i just can't see sam sitting back and rolling her eyes and ignoring him

whether or not she's a leader on paper, in actions she is. She ACTS like a leader the majority of the time, while cam is off larking off and having a good time and fulfilling his fantasies

to me, the best way to settle the leadership issue isn't to deal with sam, it's to deal with cam and write him better

Wow Über 3200 posts you have had a lot to say

Ha. Don't let her fool you. Most of it hasn't really made any sense.

(ducking and running)

Awww Oooberness. We loves ya!!

Hugs,

I agree with Sky. For the most part Cameron doesn't strike me as the type who is comfortable or natural at leading others, and most of the type he does seem much too immature for a position of that importance. Sam IS a leader; she is comfortable with taking charge and making the hard decisions. She has earned the respect of those around her and has a ready-made rapport with those she serves with. Plus, honestly, she's just more experienced in the "intergalactic" field, so that alone should edge out Mitchell. I for one haven't really seen Cam come into his own this season, especially as a leader. Maybe when that happens the whole leadership thing won't bug me so much.

Sky, that is exactly how I feel. However I'm not sure Mitchell even can be written better at this point; to my mind (with respect to the leadership issue) the damage has already been done. He needed to be introduced in a different way (stronger, more knowledgeable, experienced and commanding respect off the bat) - in order for me to believe he could be a leader to Sam, Daniel and Teal'c. He wasn't, so I don't see that he can "grow into" that, now. Especially (as you said) since Carter's been so decisive in his stead thus far. If there's to be a new leader for SG-1 at this point I don't think it can be Mitchell anymore; it'd have to be someone completely different (if it isn't to be Sam).

I do the bean counting at the Old Hag.... with my trusty Abacus! Much more tactile than a calculator. It is important to keep the senses stimulated at my age. Whilst at the Jester's age all sense has left. Apart from that of humour I hope - or I'm brown.....

(bread).....(dead)

Yes, my good Royal Accountant, stimulation with your abacus is an important part of your day. However, methinks the newer Samandans should know that the Old Hag was not named after a certain Royal Hen. You failed to clarify that.

As to your command of the colourful and somewhat confusing language of the Kingdom (UK that is), I shall try to retrieve the old, old archives which will give the newcomers quite a dazzling display of quirky linguistics. If they think the Queen's technobabble is difficult to understand, wait until they see RA dialectbabble. Of course, finding the ancient posts will only be doable if I'm able to keep my wits about me. According to you, that may be an impossible task now that I'm another year older.

Brown bread for sure.

Hehehe, linguistic and dialect babble is my speciality (in three languages no less), so watch out! Just out of interest... does anyone else know what a cob is (not of the winged variety). I'm not sure whether it's northern or midlands dialect.

Well, speaking from my northerly perspective, if I went to the bakers especially to buy a cob and found they'd sold out, I'd probably have a right cob on...

That's good, then, that's what I thought. As you probably know by now, my dad is Lancastrian, I grew up in the Midlands and I go to uni on the south coast. I went into the little sandwich shop on campus a while back and asked for a bacon cob, and they looked at me like I was a loony!!
