Well I have a few of those moment:
*the first episode(COTG): when she enters and says who she is, ok that isn't who she is in the rest of the seasons but still... how she walks in with that confidence of her... She got the looks
*exodus: just the smart samantha. Making a plan for blowing up a son... Holly Hannah. And it works.
*Heroes: when you see her first fighting and when she knows Janet is dead you can see the pain and the greave (don't know how to write this word, sorry) she has for loosing her best friend. But you also sees how much she cares of Teal'c, Daniel and O'neill.

It tend to change a lot, depending on my mood (or the episode I last watched)

Sam seeing an open wormhole for the first time.
Sam's smile when Moughal told her that the Shavadai women would be unveiled because of her.
Sam going back to the bunker rather than leaving Cassie alone.
Sam looking up at Earth after she, Jack, Teal'c and Bra'tac escaped Apophis' ship.
Sam explaining wormhole physics with an apple.
Sam working with Merrin on the naquadah reactor.
Sam's face when her promotions to Major and Lieutenant Colonel were announced.

...and many, many more.

Actually this was an actual combat situation a firefight between both sides and she wasn't the only woman fighting at the time.

I knew that's what you meant. I just meant that you can be under fire even when you're technically not in a combat job.

On Season 10. That quote above the season 10 promo photo (link given in an above post)?

Spoiler:

Something like "I've always thought of STargate as a comedy" from Brad Wright? was he serious? Brad--are you letting us down?

jckfan's heard muttering to herself: "Season 9 & 10 are just figments of Felger's imagination...It's not real...breathe..."

Let's just pray that he's getting muddled with the French comedie which can also mean a drama!

I just wanted to say you've all made good points in your discussion about S9/Mitchell. I absolutely agree. My best friend and I were talking about it today, and we both agreed that there needs to be a female in TPTB. That would solve a lot a problems, don't you think?

And thanks for all the birthday wishes!

What I'd like to know is if they would ever do anything about it if it was pointed out to them.
It's a dangerous, irresponsible message to be sending out.
{snipage}
They made a conscious choice to demote Sam and to replace her with an inexperienced male hewo and they should be ashamed of themselves.

personally i think, no way. they would not do anything about it if it was pointed out to them by women that what they have done is percieved as sexism. in past seasons of the show i would have hoped that they would, but in past seasons of the show i would have hoped that this type of thing wouldn't happen.

i think the answer would essentially be; *arrogant laugh* oh its not sexism, its just making the show more fun. silly women and their silly issues. it wouldn't be the first time we'd had an attitude like this from one of TPTB.

i don't think the fact that they have disrespected amanda has entered their heads. sam has never been put in a clear command position over any male military character in the field. introducing a male character onto sg1 and having sam be his commanding officer? nah, makes far more sense for the guy to be the CO. thats just how its always been. sam's a girl!

however, i'm sure some other samandans can come up with another reasonable explaination for the decision that doesn't include the word "she" or "her". i'm sure its possible to explain the choice logically without incorporating gender into the mix.

don't all speak at once now!
