Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Celandine]

Hi! *waves shyly* This is my first post here, because well, I have a short Sam fic that I hope you all like. It's my first Sam pov, and well, I felt I should share with Sam fans, because I agree: Sam is a great character.

The Physicochemical Composition of Alcohol and Girl’s Night Out

Welcome isabelqc! Thanks for sharing your fanfic with us..I know I'm gonna enjoy it too. *saves for later*

They know it was her because of positioning and size and stuff. I was the wee nearly-4-pounder hiding around the back

Anyway... my sister finally has me watching Bones I have read all the books but gave up on the first episode back when it started airing here on tv because I took in look at the hologram thing and said "oh noes, not more fake science!"

Any way... I'm up to episode 4 and Tempe is wearing the shirt that Amanda Tapping wears in this interview!

I stared at Tempe for a few seconds thinking "that looks familiar... oh! Amanda Tapping!"

I think it was kinda nerdy to pick up on that.

Ok, so I didn't find a good cap of Tempe, but trust me it's the same top

Nerd

Grrrr, Eve just answered your question... bet me too it But yes, Alan was the first fireman to slide down the pole in the Fire Station in 'The Changeling' and yeah Amanda's mum was in Affinity she was wearing a red top and was in the playground behind them!


You little sneak you bet me too it I was only 'round the corner! Heehee

Ooh I'm gonna have to go back to these eps and look now hehe The split second they're in the scene and I actually don't blink and miss it will be the highlight of my day I think..er, maybe.

Happy Birthday General David Niemi! whee! Hope it was a good one!

I found a very nice Sam fic today that I thought some of you might like. It is about Sam’s adjustment to her new command in Atlantis. It was particularly refreshing b/c it is obvious that the author is not happy with the cast changes but still managed to treat all of the characters realistically and with respect. I also really like the way Sam’s transition is presented in the story. I would be thrilled if TPTB depict it in a similar way on the show. Needless to say, there are spoilers for SGA seasons 3 and 4.

Hey everyone!!!

I just attempted to make a Support Carter banner, but its turned out really loz rez... so i'm just gonna re do it and with a higher rez... but here's what i gots so far...

Dodgy i know... the second one will be better!

Very nice, no its not dodgy its lovely

So very very pretty! Thanks for the link across...mmm.



Totally...Sam Carter back in 1997 was hot...Carter now is hot (and all the time in between too) but if you compare between then and now she is differently hot...if that makes sense...



Fantastic! Thanks those are great..



I once TA'd for a primary school class which had, one set of identical triplets, one pair of identical twins, and one pair of none identical twins...in the same classroom with 11 other kids....and their parents thought it was cute to dress them in the same outfits every day. *headdesk*

that must have been different. I only know one set of twins and their identical and cool, but i dont think people realise how different they are.

Hey everybody, time for me to run for the evening.... Got things to do places to be, ya know all that fun and games! Have a good time while i'm gone, heehee... back in the early morning! Cya... oh before i leave... i fixed it...


Bye, tootles... *huggles for whoever wants them*

Happy birthday General David Niemi

[NZNeep]

all i can remember amanda saying about her twin (chris, right?) is that they had a special 'twin language' that they shared when they were very little. i'd love to ask amanda about that, actually, if she remembers words or phrases of that language.




sally

Hehe... my sister and I used to leave key words out of sentences and still understand each other so we sort of had a twin language too. We also had a kind of slang/words that only we understood. Mum used to worry that we would never learn to talk to other people

The thing is, it's still a bit like that. I guess we just know how each other thinks... none of the weird supernatural crap that people think twins have... we just kind of think on the same wave length I guess. So we can leave key words and ideas out because we know the other one is already thinking it, so why state it? Then when we come to the same conclusion or whatever, people around us are left going "woah!"

So none of this weird twin ESP stuff that people talk about, we just think along similar lines.

For an extreme example... (spoilers for off topic)

Spoiler:

We were rehearsing for a show at high school once, and my sister was wearing an elastic bandage brace thingy on her knee and her white school sock pulled right up to it covering her lower leg. Which she definitely has. A bully looked at it and said something stupid like "do you have a fake leg?"

Marian looked a bit hurt and replied, "yes. I lost it in a car accident when I was 6. It's not something you should comment about like that."

This girl wasn't quite sure not to make of that, so she came over to me and asked (in the same horrible way) "Eileen, does your sister have a fake leg?"

For some reason I knew that for her to be asking like that, she had to have been fed a story by Marian so I said the first thing that popped into my frond... "yes. She was in a car accident when she was 6. You haven't said anything to her have you? She's really sensitive about it."

I don't know if this horrible girl was more freaked out by the idea of a fake leg or when she finally clicked that we had both come up with the same story on the spot.

These are great. You might want to think about posting them here: Support Carter banners thread

Oh coolies, thanks! I saw there was a thread somewhere, but i couldn't remember where i found it silly me! I shall go over there and post them shortly, computers being a pain at the moment though... grr! Meh, workling on another banner though

Samandans of a certain age ... remember how we mentioned the fact that the old hit series of Cagney and Lacey in the 1980s had two female heroes who set the right tone for portraying women realistically?

A bit OT, but bear with me ... I just went onto www.Amazon.com to order the S10 Stargate Illustrated Companion and, lo and behold, found myself also ordering the S1 DVD Set of Cagney and Lacey, along with a newly published book by the producer of the show, Barney Rosenzweig (who married Cagney/Sharon Gless).

Now, here's the connection to AT/Sam Carter and Stargate productions:

First of all, if you go to the link I'm sharing, http://cagneyandlacey.com/badges.aspx, you'll see an early headshot of Sharon Gless and I think she really resembled Amanda in that photo. This actress has also championed women's causes and appeared in The Vagina Monologues too.

Secondly, when you start to read the blogs (especially Barney's), you see that there's obviously quite a fan base from the old show and they are excited to finally get a release of the series. This reminds me of SG1 fans.

You will also see that there may not be further releases of the remaining seven award-winning seasons because the younger generation at MGM really have no history with the series and initial sales at Amazon.com are coming up flat according to the boys in charge of marketing. I just find it funny that MGM is causing the problem in not giving loyal fans what they really want because of that ominous "bottom line". Sound familiar?

The fans (including UK fans) have begun a marketing campaign of their own to spread the word about the release of S1 and hoping to get more people interested in buying the product through Amazon.com

So, if you are a past fan of Cagney and Lacey or just interested in discovering some well-done television (with a cast every bit as down-to-earth as the original Stargate SG1) ... go on over to the blog link or www.Amazon.com and check out the DVD info.

Barney Rosenzweig was one of the first producers to promote a TV show which allowed women to be strong and feisty and smart and spunky - you know, all those qualities we love in Sam Carter!

I hope MGM gets the message that shows which pioneered strong women leads are definitely worth recycling years later!

Just sayin'.

i like the sam with her hair down one personally

If you are talking about the Atlantis one, then I definately concur....
Sorry I just got home from the rollercoaster park and shopping at the mall(yay I got my brown wig, so I can do the Magnus thing ) and was about to try and play catch up, but I tried in the Sam/Jack ship thread, and my head hurts a bit from it....

[helenmagnus23]
