Apparently, Amanda didn't automatically get the part for Sanctuary. She had to audition - and it was a close call. Who knew?

1.) What was the first episode of Stargate SG-1 you ever saw?
children of the gods.
2.) What or who drew you to the series?
it came on before or after 'poltergeist the legacy' (which was a fave of mine then), and i love scifi themes.
3.) What is your favorite episode of Stargate SG-1?
okay, this one's hard. i'm going with 'entity'.
4.) Who is your favorite character? Why?
sam! because i want to look like she does, do what she does, go where she goes, and love who she loves.
5.) Do you ship/slash? Who (and/or What) is your favorite pairing?
i ship - sam/jack, all the way.
6.) What friendship dynamic is your favorite?
i don't think i have a favorite, actually. each pairing has it's own charm and wonderfulness.
7.) In your opinion, what is the funniest Stargate SG-1 moment of all time?
i really don't know if this is my fave funny moment, but the first that came to mind was in 'urgo', when sam is going down the hall and arguing with urgo. she runs into janet and hammond, and is trying to talk to them and urgo. i just *loved* the way amanda played that.
8.) In your opinion, what is the most poignant Stargate SG-1 moment of all time? Or, if you want to be character-specific, what is the most poignant Sam moment of all time?
again, the first thing that came to mind was daniel's 'dying' in 'meridian'. very poignant. for sam exclusively... i'm not sure, but first thought gave me the scene where sam was chewing out dr lee about leaving the planet when jack went missing in 'paradise lost'. amanda nailed that scene, with her quiet and haunted expression.
9.) Name one person in this thread who you haven't gotten a chance to talk to personally, but who you think you have the most in common with, and why.
???
10.) What's your favorite kind of Sam (e.g. Soldier Sam, Science Sam, Pilot Sam, etc.)?[/COLOR]
all of the above. and throw in womansam (with her family/friends and jack), and i'm in sam heaven.

Spaz asked me offline about my husband's (and I assume mine ) take on the whole "Co-Command" issue on SG-1 currently. I figured I'd post my response here since others might be interested.
And her PM box is full...
Since I wasn't online until relatively recently, my husband and I weren't even aware of the whole 'co-command' issue at first. We only saw what was on the show. We assumed Sam never got formally reassigned back to SG-1, but was merely on temporary assigment reattached to SG-1 for the duration of the Ori situation as a subject matter expert. John (hubs) was in Special Forces and that sort of thing happens all the time. So we just figured she was there more on an advisory capacity than a subordinate to Mitchell because, frankly, it never crossed our minds she could possibly be under his command. Would not happen, and if you watch the show, he never really gives her a command, so we never knew he was meant to be her commander.
I do love Sam's expression in RnT, though, when:
Spoiler:
Lorne or whatever his name is right before the credits says he's "SG-1 leader", and she gets this funny look on her face. Can't help but imagine she's thinking, "Why does EVERYONE get to say that but me?!?"

1.) What was the first episode of Stargate SG-1 you ever saw?
No idea. I watched very mixed-up eps for a while (no continuity) before I figured it the story. Something from S1-S4 certainly.
2.) What or who drew you to the series? RDA. But I stayed for the cool action stories. Love the technobabble.
3.) What is your favorite episode of Stargate SG-1? It's a tie between A Matter of Time and Foothold. With Desperate Measues thrown in. See a theme yet?
4.) Who is your favorite character? Why? Duh. Amanda is an amazing actress. Such facial expressions! And I respect anyone that can hold her own with the guys.
I like the way Sam was written in the early years. She was a woman but still got the job done. She was no more a damsel in distress than Daniel. Or Teal'c. And she's the one who usually pulled crazy ideas out of her...head.
5.) Do you ship/slash? Who (and/or What) is your favorite pairing?
Sam/Jack. But I don't mind other parings as long as they make sense within the context dreamed up. The characters still have to stay *in character* for it to work for me In other words I ship in fanfic... I also ship Sam/Thor / because I find it so amusing.
6.) What friendship dynamic is your favorite? Original Team. They had a great energy that has not been duplicated.
7.) In your opinion, what is the funniest Stargate SG-1 moment of all time? This is stooopid. In Red Sky when they were greeted at the gate by the natives with 'tribute', RDA (completely ad-libbed I'm sure) starts rooting through the basket and says" Whatcha got in here?" It struck me just right and I rolled. He was background but still played it perfectly.
8.) In your opinion, what is the most poignant Stargate SG-1 moment of all time? Or, if you want to be character-specific, what is the most poignant Sam moment of all time?
Janet's eulogy. But any serious scene with Jacob. AT/CA have great chemistry.
9.) Name one person in this thread who you haven't gotten a chance to talk to personally, but who you think you have the most in common with, and why. AGateFan. Not sure if she's been on the thread though. Scarimor. Though I think we don't have nearly as much in common I'd love to chat with her. AT3!!!!
10.) What's your favorite kind of Sam (e.g. Soldier Sam, Science Sam, Pilot Sam, etc.)? I really like all the Sams. Yes, I'm that easy. Except the Make Sam Do Stupid Things She's Never But We have To Move The Plot Along Sam. I don't like her.

Reason: spelling errors
(sry, definately don't have time to go through every page/post each day... I figured someone would have posted it, just posting a friendly reminder and saying I love the pic)
I would be tempted to put it as my desktop background but I think I would just laugh to hard every time I saw it...
I'm just waiting for someone to make an awesome new wallpaper using the pic of her in her leather jacket and handgun DEFS going to snag that! *hinting to all the graphics ppl out there*
Couldn't figure out a way to make the tiny leather jacket picture look good when it was enlarged, but hopefully this will do...

Thanks for the insight Jennifer. I'm always interested to see how people who had little to no affiliation with the online fandom interpreted certain issues. Of course, unless new people come on board, that's kinda hard.

Hahaha - I totally know what look you're talking about!
