Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[sofie]

Yay, my first post at Gateworld! Oh now I have to say something profound. I like fish… ing. Yes, I like fishing. No wait, I can do better than that:



Thanks Bekah for inviting me. *waves to the crowd* I’ll try to stop by now and then, and if nothing else you’ll always find me over at the Sanctuary forum.

And if I may be so straightforward I have a little fan project going on called The Ultimate Sanctuary Icon Challenge that I need some help with. And someone *points at Bekah* told be that you guys might be interested in doing some icons for this. The idea is to make a Sanctuary photo mosaic out of 3481 icons, and by now we’ve gathered a whooping 10, so only 3471 to go! If anyone’s interested you can read more about it on the Sanctuary forum right here.

And one last thing; I love Sam and AT and Sam and AT and Sam and AT and Sam and Jack

yay, welcome!!!!!

Hi guys, before I get to work on my new super long catch up posts, which is like 50 pages long on Microsoft word . I wanted to come by and show off my new sigs, actually, there rotating sigs, so I want you guys to see them first. I'd like to thank RepliCartertje, Krissie678, Jumper_One, CalmStorm, and jasminaGo for helping me get these awesome sigs off the ground to this great thread. One more thing, I'm making my first Amanda album with all my most favourite pics, it's only a few pics now, but I'll add more pics soon, along with a Sam album. Here's the album:

Amanda's Album

And now, my follow Samandan's, what da ya think of my new sigs?-

Spoiler:

I'm not sure it was fair but the second one is actually MY sig - with the ten years text on it. Or you're so great in Photoshop that you could copy my sig's look. Mine is:



It's like the same, huh?

[ames]

Blegh. In spoilers because totally of topic ...

Spoiler:

I'm going into the hospital on sunday, to get an operation on mondaymorning. Nothing big (well, to me it's a big deal of course, but it really is just a little operation ... it's going to take only 10 minutes), but no fun. I've never been in the hospital before (except for all the tests and stuff in the last couple of months, but they never made me stay!). I'll be going home on wednesday. So no Gateworld for me for a couple of days. I'm really supposed to pack my stuff now, busy day tomorrow, and sunday it's fathersday here too. I just went out and bought some new pyjamas and stuff. I'll be using the little travel bag I bought especially for AT3 ... how I wish I was packing for that =(

Anyway, I'll be back soon. And I can use my laptop (no internet though), so maybe I'll be up to photoshopping some pretties =)

Best of luck to you for a safe and speedy recovery =) I'm sure you'll while away the boredom making awesome pics for the rest of us to ooooh and ahhhhhh over, right? *hugs*

whistles innocently

cause i'm too impatient for her to catch on herself

LOL - the mighty noodle strikes again!

I rarely pay attention to that.

Ok, gonna have to fix it now. I like living in Plateau Tormented Space better.

Oh Sky - it's not nearly as much power if Sunny can change it back herself! (((Sunny)))

Discworld Con? That somehow sounds like something I would enjoy. =D
When, where and do they accept credit cards?

That pic is so *Daniel*! ;-)

I remember reading an interview with AT before season 4 or 5 where she talked about how before every new season she tries to find ways to make the character fun playing. She was always looking or new ways so Sam would not get boring.
I liked that. Instead of waiting for the writers to give her something to work with, she tried to discover new sides to Sam.

Gotta luv a gal who shows initiative Not to mention doing so gave AT some concrete creative control over the character of Sam. Smart lady! (Of course, we already knew that!)

Yeah, let's put 'em in one cage and shake it to see if they'll fight!

Ooh - now that seems somewhat cruel! Y'know Sam would so whip Daniel's butt with one arm tied behind her back

Thinking and praying for ya DeeJ!

See Ann there are advantages to being stubborn determined =D

What a cute lil guy!!!
((((DEEJAY))))
I lit a luminary for you at our Relay for Life Friday night ... keep smilin', and it will keep you strong!

we'll help her. All us fanfic writers, we can do dialogue =D

actually, sounds like she just needs a writing partner. like she comes up with the story then has a co-writer work on the dialogue.

Somehow I doubt she's have to wait long for volunteers
...and no, unfortunately I'm not one of them, seeing as I tend to have the same issues - great plots, not-so-great dialogue. On the upside, I now have something else in common with AT! Yay! =D

I'd volunteer =D

raises hand =)

As I was saying about the wait time for volunteers ... LOL

Yay, my first post at Gateworld! Oh now I have to say something profound. I like fish… ing. Yes, I like fishing. No wait, I can do better than that:

Hey I know YOU!!!
:: waves to the very talented 2Shy

::tackle hugs:::

It's 2SHY!!!! Hellloooooo!

For those of you who don't know, 2shy is awesome with the photoshop. More than a little bit addicted, is that girl. She created the images in Kirfect's Helen through the ages video and has done some awesome pictures of Helen with her famous "friends".

Welcome to Samanda, 2Shy

TJ (the trollopy one)

It is true 2Shy is my Co-Conspirator in the Helen Through The Ages video. Almost everything that is still in the video is because of 2Shy. You should all venture over to the forum or SanctuaryFans.com to see her work. Amazing stuff I am telling you what. What? Oh that was me saying what. What? Stop that nevermind...


Joining the hugs for DeeJay!


I just happened to look up at the post before mine and Sunny is on top of me!!!!

Well it has been said that imitation is the surest form of flattery... (at least, I think that's how the saying goes ... wee bit sleepy over here...)
I like both your version and your current sig as well! (I so need to go dabble in photoshop so I can make my own too...one of these days!)

[Chelle DB]

Note to self: pack ear plugs for AT4, just in case!

Hey!!! I'm bad but geez...I'm not that bad...I'm a good girl I is!!!

I agree, the actors must be so bored with the same old questions, particularly after a decade or more. I like to ask about new projects, actors love to tell you what they are up to and as a fan you like to hear about it.
Beau Bridges had fabulous stories about Hollywood royalty and his family.
Michael Shanks had a new baby and was full of talk of him (his first boy) though I liked how he always said he had three children, not two plus one from a previous relationship, you got the feeling he cared for all three equally.
I seem to remember talking with Amanda about Coronation Street, I was at collage with the son of one of the long serving actors on the show, I had some silly stories about the cast. Amanda is such a fangurl of Corrie! It's cute to see her gushing like a fan. One of our table was talking to her about Essex life, not personal stuff just general but it also engaged Amanda's interest.

FF

I'd love to meet Beau...I think I can safely say that I've grown up watching him on tv.
I can imagine that they would get tired of the same questions but also in defense of the fans, not everyone is aware of all the questions asked and some only ever make it to a few events so what may seem like a good question to the fan, may have already been addressed several times...but being the troopers and good sports that they are, the actors always seem happy to answer the questions...me personally, I like to just chat nonchalantly about whatever is happening...like the weather and music and real life stuff...and sometimes goofy stuff like when I asked Chris about his buttock reflexes...it was just begging to be asked...and kids...I love talking about the kids...I just kinda get nervous about asking too much that may be perceived as being to personal...know what I mean??

I enjoyed some of 9 & 10 but this was a total gift of an opportunity ignored. They had left the Jolinar plot lie fallow for years, this was a point when they could have brought it back and would have been a great, natural way to humanise Vala, here interactions with Sam would have been interesting. She was a one shot character and turning that into a regular is difficult, Vala flip flopped between canny space pirate (a cliché, but fun) and a little girl in pig tails (a waste of Vala and CB both).
You've got two great actress' use them. But then, they never used Amanda to the best of her abilities, she got some good stuff but it could have been so much better, stronger. We heard that she was a speed demon and competitive but we didn't see much of it, it's the old show, don't tell maxim.

FF

You know...I never thought about the whole ex host thing before...until now...and I have to say that it was a missed opportunity. I think they could have done something really cool with the history that both Sam and Vala had in common...even though Sam was host to a Tok'ra and Vala was host to a Goa'uld...the potential there for something juicy and of real substance was sorely missed!

an episode like death knell, cept with sam and vala stuck or lost on a mission, and the two of them have to use their goa'uld powers and memories. what if qetesh had heard about the ark? or jolinar had searched for it, or for some weapon or whatever, and the two of the m have to work on stuff.

basically, sam out grew the show and outgrew the abilities of these writers.

Ooooh...sounds great Sky!!!...so...you gonna write a fic about it...with some whump and all???
You know this whole thing about the writers and all, I'm just wondering if they sometimes got it wrong because they had so many different writers who couldn't all appreciate each character for what they were.

I second that!

All in favor say "AYE!!"

suse

Aye!!!!!

how about this, and i know it'll focus mainly on season 10
If you could make up a sam/vala moment in any of the s9 or 10 episodes, how would you make it up? what would you put in?

How would you promote the friendship/relatioknship between the two women?
do just one eps, do several, whatever works.
But if you could go back in time and promote the sam/vala angle, what would you do and how would you do it?

Oh man...I can't think much today being Sunday and all...but I wuld think there would have been a great opportunity to do something special between the girls in the eps Uninvited, Memento Mori, Company of Thieves, The Quest 1&2, Line in the Sand and Family Ties...even though they did have a little moment in family Ties...it could have been better...but as to how...I have no idea!

But if you could go back in time and promote the sam/vala angle, what would you do and how would you do it?

I think that they had an oppritunity in Memento Mori to explore Vala's past as she regained her memory. In dealing with her regained memories of being a host, I think Sam is the person Vala could turn to because Sam has her experience with Jolinar as well as experience with memory devices. I also think that Family Ties could have had a Sam/Vala talk about fathers (simialr to the conversatio with Landry). Sam sort of went through problems with her father and came through the other side with a good relationship with her father.

So today the museum I worked at held a premier and VIP opening event for our new exhibit on refugee camps. I had to do interviews and get photographed performing my role within the exhibit. I now have more respect for Amanda and anyone else who has to do that sort of thing on any sort of regualted basis. I mean it is hard to know what to say all the time, and to have photographs taken from all sides! Amanda always does so well.
Go Amanda!


And lastly I'd like to dedicate this post to Deejay and her family. My family's thoughts and prayers are with them! <3
