Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Melora]

Hey Samandans!

Congratulations everyone on 80,000 posts!!!


I was looking through the latest Legends Memorabilia Auction listings and there are quite a few Sam/AT items available.

They have a set of Sam's Blue BDUs for those with a lot of extra cash on hand. There are also a couple of items that still are going for a more reasonable price: a set of continuity photos and Sam's motorcycle helmet from "Space Race" (my favorite of the bunch). There are also quite a few autographed pictures of AT up for sale.

If anyone is interested here is the link to the auction:

I just think it would be so cool to own Sam's motorcycle helmet.

Nope, I can't take the credit. This was a product of an unknowns entry into the pumpkin carving contest at my daughter's job. I couldn't pass up showing this off.

Nice job.

MGM has posted a video promo for Tabula Rasa on their web site. AT does the intro to the clip. http://stargate.mgm.com/video.php?id=76

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Tis awesome!!!!

sam's role in reunion

Spoiler:

the character had to be shown as someone who doesn't leave people behind, considering she had just told sheppard that they weren't going after weir without a plan.
this is all tv logic. yeah sure, maybe in the real world sam - in her new role- wouldn't have been the one to go on the rescue mission. i don't know. (of course none of this would have happened in the real world) i do know tv though. and in the tv world it made sense to have sam go.
the audience needed to know who sam is. her leading the mission in no way undermined shep. shep went into an unknown situation that went wrong. sam had more info. she also had ronon who was more in the know of what they were dealing with.
yes it would have made sense to have sent lorne, but lorne isn't the character being introduced. they had to hit the point home of sam doesn't leave her people behind. the audience also had to be shown that sam is not only a scientist, but a soldier. the atlantis crowd already knew she was a scientist because her previous role's in atlantis have been scientific.
as for daniel making more sense as the new leader, i completely disagree. daniel's a good negotiator and diplomat when he has to be, but unlike weir, its not his training. that was (IMO) what weir had going for her as a leader. sam has actual leadership history. she's been trained for leadership. she's lead not only an sg team, but also a whole gaggle of scientists at area 51 (gaggle is the correct term. trust me.) also, from a tv standpoint, she is the one with more history with the show.
as for her making shep and mckay redundant. well thats just not the case. thats like saying that caldwell or lorne makes shep redundant, and zelenka makes mckay redundant. just because she has the same skills as more than one person put together, doesn't make them redundant, as she's not there to do their jobs. she's there to lead the entire expodition. the fact that she understands completely what the likes of shep and mckay are talking about puts her at a leadership advantage in terms of being more likely to be able to make the right decisions based on their input.

rant over.

Rant away!! That was awesome...personally I think it was great to see Sam in action!!

What Jan said. GIve us a few days please. We have stuff to work out and logistics to get into place.
Spread the word amongst yourselves, certainly. But let's not get the cart before the horse. Rather than some scattered e-mails, we're hoping to have a simple process in place to accomodate as many as possible.
Just give us another day or two please. We're talking across 3 countries and lord only knows how many time zones
What we're hoping for is
e-mail person 1
arrange payment
Person 1 will tell person 2 to ship the dvd to you
Person 2 gets it in the mail
Within a week or two of placing the order, the customer can get Stuck
Stuck on Amanda
sounds like fun...and what scari and AD want to do on Saturday night

So would it be a good idea to say get a few Aussies together and order it in one order...if that makes sense...excuse my daftness...I'm kinda fuzzy with pain killers ATM...but is this what you mean???

WOW
4000 pages
...nearly 80,000 posts
and over 150,000 1.5 million views.
For a character who is considered to be so disliked, she doesn't seem to have too much trouble keeping up with all the so-called 'popular' kids.
Let's hear it for Sam and all the other unpopular geeks out there!

Damn! I missed yet another party!!!

Way to Go Samandans!!!

Those are great CG your very talented
Julia(samcarterrules)

I concur...wtg CG...that was brilliant!!!

Amanda inspires poetry and, yes, I've tied up this thread tonight but for a good cause. It was fun to look back at our Samandan family history ... let me share one more oldie, but goodie, which still seems to fit ...

Reprise: A Salute to the Thread
(originally posted on its first-year anniversary)
Many fans have come and gone
And yet the SaGC thread goes on
It seems to have a life of its own
Through ups and downs, the posts have grown
No matter who or where we are
Some so near, some so far
Samanda is our happy place
To honor Sam/AT, full of grace
Other fans may think us mad
A Royal Court? An imaginary land?
Perhaps they don’t really understand
Why admiring Sam produced something so grand
Over 80,000 replies of fun and mirth
In discussing Sam Carter’s worth
It started as a single simple post
From MajorSal, our inquiring host
She touched a nerve and we resonated
To the fair heroine who had Stargated
Into our homes and our mundane lives
Bringing female power alive
Sam was what we wanted to be
Brilliant, gutsy, and so on key
She could handle anything in stride
She was just as capable as the guys
As the seasons waxed and waned
Sam Carter grew and we exclaimed
“Of Sam Carter, we’ll never tire
She models, motivates and inspires”
Yes, she’s had her moments of despair
Times we thought the script needed repair
But through it all the core was true
Sam Carter was a winner too
Her face and figure left its mark
But something more, that inner spark
Is what drew us here to talk of her
A reality-based well-acted character
Amanda Tapping kept her engaging
All the while her own life changing
From young ingénue to solid lead
Even marrying motherhood to career, indeed!
And so we watch and always wait
For Sam Carter to travel through the Gate
Here we post and sometimes falter
But always expect the best for Carter!
A simple toast to SaGCT, may ever it strive
To keep the role of Sam Carter front page and alive
Now is the time to raise a glass and give a loud cheer
Sam Carter rocks, each and every year!
HERE'S TO THE TAPPINATOR! HERE'S TO US!

You can tie us up anytime CG...

Cheers to the Tappinating Spottie and all her minions!!!

Happy Halloween to those who observe it!

I know what I want for Christmas now...I want the Stargate dolls!!!
Happy Halloween everyone!!

I'm going to sign out now myself...I have successfully stayed conscious for 4 hours now...yay!!
Night all, take care and have fun!!

To the best of my k nowledge, there is no mechanism in place for volume discounts. Now, if Jane and Ed don't have credit cards and Paul wants to order 3 copies and get the money from Jane and Ed, that's between them.

Since Person 1 will be taking payment and person 2 will be shipping, some sort of 'multiple copy discount' will have to be arranged with person 1.

We'll get you guys some details as soon as we can. We just want to make sure that, when we make it public, we have things right so that there is no 'oops'

If we can't have a final 'this is how it's done' bit we'll have an update by the weekend

I just think it would be so cool to own Sam's motorcycle helmet.

Ooh very nice! I was drooling over both sets of AT's bdu's and thinking how totally awesome it would be to have them. *sigh* I'm resigned to the fact though that I can not afford everything I want. I'd much rather backpack around England and hang out with some Stargate geeks than have some of Sam's old clothes to brag about to others. *pokes self* Who am I kidding? I want those bdu's!

Helmet would be cool too I think..and much more affordable. umm, does it come with her Indian though? *innocent looks*

Happy Halloween to those who observe it!

Holy Jebbers! Very nice! Tell me you carved the pumpkin! It's awesome!

Love the ACTION FIGURES too...oh and they're not dolls. I'd feel much too weird playing with a Sam doll.

I'm definitely interested in buying a copy of Stuck and can't wait till the info is ready. Thanks for getting all this together for us.

Lovely fic. Unending was pretty sad and I can definitely see Sam doing whatever she could to try and comfort Cameron. It seemed she tried to stay upbeat throughout the whole ep too.

Welcome Back! Hope your Mom let's you have a bit more puter time so you can hang here again as I understand your withdrawal. Dreaming of Stargate is a pretty cool consolation though if you ask me. If I slept a bit more, perhaps this would be something I'd choose to dream about as well.

***

OT stuff...had to work tonight, but afterwards went with some friends to a pretty cool Halloween party. Wore my full SG1 bdu's that I put together for a Con a few months back and you know what? I had to explain my costume! I had everything from, "Are you an army recruiter..?" to "Were you ever in the army...?" (as if they'd let me in! ) and my favorite that I sadly shook my head at "What's Stargate..?" pffft....what's Stargate. *shakes head* Poor sad people. They don't know what they're missing.

80,000 posts??!?!?!?!
Holy Hairless Hamsters!!
That's a lotta Samanda love, eh?
Congrats Rox.

love*
geek (happily hold-up with the ever lovely Julia here in sunny<cough>LONDON! Yay geek! Across the pond yet again! )

PS-> Scari sucks.

WoW, I'm glad I'm not the one spreading this little tidbit of information.

Just curious -- does she suck in a good or bad way?

As for what Sam would have dressed up as for Halloween?

I think Sam would have been a space pirate or a rogue ( preferably gnomish ).

My daughter on the other hand wasn't so lucky this year. Poor thing. But she did manage to bring home quite the stash.

Happy Halloween
