I dont think I have mentioned lately what a great character Carter is.
Right up there with Ivonova, Riply, Sarah Conner, Aryn Sun, Dr Crusher. Though her and Ivonova were by far the best... though Aryn was right there... but season 4 kind of killed it a bit for me. Unfortunatly I had not yet developed my cool new ability to completely ignore eps and entire seasons that work to destroy certain characters.
Sadly, I only recognize Sarah Conner and Aryn(and only that b/c SG). I guess the others may be from Star Trek? I've never even watched an episode of any version of ST.

Crusher was the only Star Trek reference.
Lt Commander Susan Ivonova was a awesome character on Babylon 5 for S1-4.
Ripley... Ellen Ripley the great Alien killer from the Alien movies.
EDIT: A year or so back someone in one of those TV mags did a Best Women in Scifi feature. Sam Carter was #1 and Ivonova was #2.
Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"
^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.
Right now I'm leaning towards not posting. I personally don't think it should be saved. SG-1 is over, it has been since the end of S8. SGC Command starring Vala/Cam doesn't interest me, and I don't see it happening any other way. I don't trust that any mini-series or TV movie will focus on SG-1 as I think it should be, so I really don't see what there is to save.
That being said, I don't have a problem with those who want to try and save it. I just don't seem to have the energy or the inclination to add my voice to the mix.
see, i have no doubts whatsoever that sg1 still has life in it, i just don't want this rendition with mitchell and vala. i'm hoping that the ptb see this, and use the winning and popular formula (sam-daniel-teal'c-jack) with the movies or mini series. when i can find out what the ptb have in mind for their future... i'll only work to save it if it's the sg1 of seasons 1-8. that's it.
if there's movie(s), i'm realistic that mitchell and vala would 'have' to be in the first one, but just the first one. or if they continue, make 'them' the supporting players.
and i swear, if scifi is butting heads with mgm just so they'll lower their price, and we get that season 11 anyways...
Remember a while back when we were discussing a possible spin-off with Sam commanding a ship? I think it was in May.
Does anyone else want to use the idea or is it okay if a friend and I use it? We were thinking of making a kind of virtual season in story form out of Stargate: Athena.

pssssst, it's AEryn.
Yeah, Sam ranks up there for me as well. I'd have to say it's Aeryn, Sam, Vala for me atm. The others are great as well, but A, S, V are my favs of all time.

I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.
I made a difficult request, an AU in which Germany and Japan won WWII. Somebody did a lot of research to put the story together. It's a bit grim, which I expected from such a scenario, but there's Sam/Janet friendship. And whumping! Lots of Sam whumping! No idea who wrote it, but I think they did a great job given the setting.
I'm with you. SG1 was really over at the end of S8. What we got in S9 & 10 IMHO was not the "real" show. As much as I've enjoyed some great AT moments, the show has been a shadow of its former self--in large part b/c of the way the original cast/characters were treated.
I want AT to have the chance to go on and do something new and challenging and exciting for her. And as a fan, I want to see her in other roles too. I'm ready to let the show go. I'm not in favor of taking extreme measures to keep it breathing without there really being life there.
it's so hard for me to do this, even though i'm relieved it's been canceled. (i literally go into every epsode now, waiting to see what damage they will do to sam carter. this started in season 9)
with sam carter, there's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many more stories to tell with her! my god, if WE could write the sam character....
i totally believe that something happens to writers of long running shows. i think they can't see the forest for the trees anymore. look what the star trek next gen guys did to the star trek franchise.
i really don't know what else to say, other than *something* has got to change.
