the only prob i have is that i was hoping to see *more* of sam in s5; now it'll be less. BUT, we'll have ALL AMANDA (helen) for 13 eps of 'sanctuary!
what i'm hoping for:
*sam still stays as atlantis' leader.
*sam's in at least 10 eps.
*IF she's not atlantis' leader, it better be explained with respect to the sam carter character.
*SAM IS NOT KILLED OFF!!!
*soooo much to think about*

And there's only so much that can be done about it.
When people see posts that are...passionate in nature, i'd suggest a cheesy phrase.
what would amanda do?
I personally feel that, over the past few years, things in canada have happened that haven't exactly been nice or fair or certainly fun. However, through it all, Amanda acted with dignity and grace and was a professional. She didn't snark at people behind her back. She didn't cut them down. She didn't speak ill. She was a professional and a lady.
It's an attitude that more fans could embrace.
That's all
Now i am gana say something but it will be classy (i hope). Its just i was reading the script from the interview with Amanda (which im in the middle of watching) and it sadened me so much when she was talking about the Anti fans infact I almost had to rush to the bathroom to throw up cause i was so upset. I just wanted to Give Amanda a big hug and tell her I Love her and that us at Samanda Love her too, im so writing to her.....was that ok didnt go to far????Last edited by Amanda_Tapping_Fan; 02 February 2008, 06:19 PM.sigpic

I must say my belief in SGA is starting to get lost atm
Spoiler:
Another new commander honestly??? really I mean what is the idea every year a new commander or so? I am not so happy about it honestly. I didn't like they replaced Weir, but now they take Sam as commander for a year and have another commander again... honestly this is not good for the show if you ask me and also not for the believablity of the command or atlantis.
I just hope it isn't Sheppard... But I can't see that happening cause then they would make a big mistake in my oppinion.
I am not sure if I will still watch SGA next season because atm I can't see things going to be good. To much change isn't good either and atm this is what they are doing.
still I will probably wait and see for next season and to start open minded...
I am happy though that Amanda is focusing on Sanctuary though, that will be good for her, a good new project that if you ask me will grow for sure So happy for that.

let's just remmber folks
yes, we will miss sam. I know i will. and i know that i was JUST starting to get attached to season 4 and i'mm not sure if that attachment will continue (beyond lorne sam is the only character on the show i have an emotional attachment to...beyond the rando impulse to slap rodney )
however, look at it this way
atlantis full time...she's just an employee. that is all she is. an employee playing a character they could decide to get rid of next week.
on sanctuary, she's not an employee, she's a producer. she's calling the shots adn taking control. she's getting marks on her resume that outstrip 'leading lady on....'
'executive producer of....' looks a LOT better on a resume. and it's a building block to one heck of a reputation.
her career will go a lot further on sanctuary (where it could potentially lead not just to producing but also writing and directing) than it will on a series that i personally will be surprised if lasts past season 5.
I'm gonna miss the heck out of sam. And i don't know if i'll enjoy atlantis as much without her... but, in the long run, i think sanctuary is gonna give amanda fans more of her than atlantis ever will.
she's paid her dues over the last 10 years and i think she is finally seeing the results of that.
and i wish her nothing but the best

Sam will not be in command during Season 5 and AT will only be making guest appearances. There will be a new commander in charge after the first episode or so. I'm a little disappointed at this news, but I can understand why they are going in this direction. I only hope they write Sam out of command in a realistic and respectful manner.Spoiler:i am VERY disappointed. one season of sam commanding sg1, now one season of sam commanding atlantis.
i understand the reasons - hard to write for a character if you don't know when they'll be there - but still.
i'll find out which eps sam will be in when the east coasters watch the eps first, then i'll get my sam fix. so i still get sam... but i had high hopes for seeing MORE of sam in s5 because of how abbreviated she was in s4.
i really, really, REALLY hope that whatever reason is for sam not commanding anymore, that it's *respectful* towards the sam carter character.
sam's a great character. (((((((()))))))))

Yep. It's sucky and as a Carter fan, I feel gutted by this latest development.
At the same time, I'm excited for Amanda and for Sanctuary. What a coup!
As for Atlantis? I'll keep watching and supporting the show...and I'll look forward to seeingSpoiler:who takes the reigns of the city and what the circumstances are. I hope that it's done well and with respect to who Sam is. That's all I ask.
You know...it could be a really exciting development for Carter and the expedition!Spoiler:be welcoming of whoever the new leader is.

And I agree with your post (whether from a mod or a person) that we should think about how to act professionally in samanda (unlike some of the other threads I've peeked at). We have to remember that there's always a chance Amanda might read this thread and we wouldn't want her to think we aren't polite and thoughtful of other people's feelings.
Rudeness is not a samanda thing
Just my thoughts...

I know a lot of folks don't agree with me but (don't click the spoiler if you don't agree with me, you have been warned)
Spoiler:I'm happy Sam won't be on SGA for much longer. I love Sam and will miss her, but I'm totally jazzed and excited to see Amanda in something else. I can't wait to see what happens with Sanctuary on SciLie (even if I don't trust SciLie).
And as Sky said, this will be a BOOST to Amanda's career. I'm sure she agonized over the decision, but I have no doubt that she made the right one for HER and that's all I care about, Amanda being happy with what she's doing and how it affects her and her family.
AMANDA, YOU FRELLIN' ROCK LADY!sigpic
I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.
