    When we were discussing the Best Carter episodes for each season, some folks struggled with whether certain episodes, such as Entity, were more great AT episodes than great Sam episodes... so:

    What are your favorite AT acting moments or scenes?


    The most memorable AT acting scene for me is in "Singularity", when Sam takes Cassie down to the bottom of the silo and then has to leave her there... has an emotional venting in the elevator... has an epiphany... goes back down... hugs Cassie. Simply one of the best sequences, and most memorable, of the entire Stargate series for me. AT was phenomenal.
    my number one favorite amanda acting moment as sam is from 'entity'.

    it was when jack was taunting the entity with that they were going to send probe after probe to its planet; amanda played the entity exploding with anger, but without using her voice and other usual visuals. amanda used facial twitches and her hand shaking to show its anger and vulnerability. to this day, i'm still in awe of this performance.

        i have played that 'stargate internets: the internet is for porn' joke video over and over and over. (and not because it's talking about porn )

        the person that made this video picked *great* pics to go along with the dialog! the entire thing is wonderful, and i only wish i could save the thing.

        if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know

          Have to agree with you on that Sally, there are also so many instances of Amanda's ability to show so much emotion with just a look, she can convey so much with subtleties that dialogue isn't always necessary. It is the little nuances that sets her apart and shows what a great actress she is.

              Hey, Ben and Chris look mighty airbrushed to me. It's funny cause Amanda and Claudia only look airbrushed in that one with the guys.

              *looks at OoooooOooober and points "Look pig tails"*
              Yeah, I got a laugh out of the pony tails too. Poor Claudia. As if she doesn't have enough hair. She doesn't need it bunched forward like that.

              I agree with (Sky?Mini?) that they look terribly airbrushed. And the expression in their eyes looks...dead, mostly. ::Oh gosh, Princess Bride moment::. The only ones that look decent are the AT/CB one and the AT/Ben one. At least their eyes look like someone is home. Amanda looks great in that last. That slight smile is beautiful.

              AT is in a hideously cut shirt though. Is that a popular style? (It shouldn't be if it is.)

                    i mean, they're nice pics and all and it's nice to see them in civvies but man do they look fake

                    maybe they are.

                    maybe the entirety of season 9 didn't use the real actors (so they could save money).

                          Sam on vacation. Hmmm.

                          Somewhere warm, tropical. Rather far away from the city life but with modern conveniences. She can rough it off planet there is no need to do it on vacation. Somewhere near the ocean so she can jet ski (adreneline junkie) and surf or just kick back and relax with a science journal or three. <g> And hopefully watch movies - or the Simpsons - with her vacation companion.

                          Yes, this is my dream vacation.

                            Scorched Earth: Being ordered to make the bomb by Jack.

                            The Light: Being insubordinate to Jack.

                            OK, there's more. What can I say! She's an amazing actress. Maybe I should just say every second of every episode and be done with it!

                              The pictures are great. Did anyone notice that in the picture with Amanda and Claudia that Amanda was to the front, even though Claudia is shorter?

                                I agree! So I did. Here are two photos I played with tonight. One is of Ben & AT and the other is a team photo.
