I'm no big Carter fan, but Amanda is a lovely person and it shows in nearly every moment she's on the screen.

I always thought it was the makeup- the wrong foundation or blush color can drain a face of "vitality".

I know what you mean...I didn't even recognize Teal'c and Sam the first time through! What's really funny about that scene is that, of all the characters, Sam and Vala should have switched!

Aw, how sweet, you thought of me!

Hello, folks.

I'm hoping for a little bit of help. I've finally gotten the time to start watching my Stargate DVDs and have been getting into the commentaries. So can someone point me to good commentaries that actually have, you know, the actors in them - whether it be AT or any of the others. Almost every episode I've picked so far has been the directors, writers, editors, camera people, special effects supervisor etc etc. And while it's interesting, they can tend towards the boring.

I've already watched Death Knell, Line in the Sand, and... I think there was one other that had actors. Oh, Grace I think... and maybe another. Doesn't matter what season or anything, I'm not going in order.

Thank ye kindly.

burgers from room service may or may not be 'healthy', however, they are relatively 'safe' food to order

I don't know about you guys, but everytime i ate at the 3 magpies i'd get a 'wonky tummy'... i think it's the water. after AT2 i had a tummy upset that lasted for weeks after i cae home. this last time i worked to avoid tap water as much as i could and stuck to bottled as much as possible and i had a lot less issues.

I also think that it's the fat in foods that i have issues with. I don't consciously eat a low fat diet, i just kinda avoid it...and then eat at a place where they don't worry as much about the fat and my tummy reacts a bit

I am bereft.

You might not have had a sleeping type dream, but you had a dream to see Amanda at ST3.

And you did it.

And now your paying and paying and paying.

Spoiler:

It's more reaction (onscreen) than we got when they decided that command needed to be given to the LMAH. Though I'd imagine

True. And it was awesome. Truly awesome. Did I mention it was awesome?

I really want to go to AT4 now.

Happy Birthday FrostFox!
I hope you have a great day!

As far as Commentaries done by actors.
You might try the ones that Chris Judge has written I think he did commentaries for at least one of them... AT did the commentary for Resurrection the one she directed so she talks about the camera shots and things like that, so that may not be one you want if you don't like the technical stuff (me I love it. Very interesting stuff

)... she also did commentary for the Road Not Taken and Covenant I believe. She has done quite a few. CJ had done a few. Not sure about the others. I don't have my DVD's in front of me.

Oh yeah Robert Picardo has nothing but praise for Amanda and I have nothing against him at all!!

I actually really like him and a lot of fans knew Amanda was moving on to star and be one of the EP of her own show... That's a great achievement!

I think that's why JM and PM didn't really put any thought into her leaving, they think well the fans know it's coming so lets juice it up a little.

Well Ann

cause some say it's NOT a guy's thing I don't know what you talk about (now, maybe if ya do I realise what ya mean Rocky, cause sometimes I'm slow in understanding.

First Sam cameto was an insult to Sam and Amanda IMHO. In Letters from Pegasus one phrase: if I blinked my eyes I didn't even notice it. But they latter more than corrected that fault.

I hope Sam can come back. I'm always a flexible Amanda fan lol I mean all I ask that in Atlantis Sam can be seen in 3-4 episodes a season, but if by Amanda avaiblability that ain't possible, sure NP. But "humiliating" her that way.... is that the way ya thank an Actress who played Sam for 11 years and always listend to "the house"? If she did had to "leave" command I'd rather had Landry telling her, or Jack or someone else she knows.

Well Daivy I was just trying to be funny, and I'm actually not shy coming here because I feel like I can trust you guys

. Hmm Daivy, what did you mean by "cameto" and the "Letters from Pegasus"? but I do agree, it was an insult, and a very wrong one by that. But yeah, I never even thought of "humiliating" until now, after 11 years of hard work, always being on top of her game, even bringing Olivia to work with her, this is the send off she gets? I'll tell you, they're are a lot of mad and disappointed fans out there, and I wouldn't be surprised if fans have send letters or whatever to express their displeasure, I may even do that once I get the right info, you should too Daivy. Like I said uo there to Ann Continuum takes place before the season is over, so whether we hear something then, or in this season, it'll still be good, and Amanda is definitely slated for an episode or 2 in the second half. Any further appearances will be wholly dependent on Amanda’s schedule. So hopefully than or earlier we'll know something.

BTW Rocky, you had 2 more dreams about her? I think your cheating me with "Dream Amanda" lol. Just Kidding. As long as we can tell 'em further eh.

Oh yeah one more thing: I went to the doctor and he said I'm suffering from a dieseace with no cure: Amanda Tapping itis. And she told me it's spreading... I think the syptomps are: seeing her beauty, her '' the girl next door' attitude, the loyalty, the SAM liking the... If you have any of these symptomos, go to your local Doctor IMMEADIATLY

Amanda has 16 vote's on that person of the year site

www.persoonvanhetjaar.nl
The site is also avaible in English, you prolly need to scroll way down, yes WAY down.

you know me, Amanda's always on my mind

Who knows maybe I'll have another Amanda dream tonight? I love those dreams, they're so...free. I'm with Amanda or Sam, or Helen who ever she is at the time

. Plus these dreams are probably the closest thing I'll ever get to Amanda, so I gotta make the best of it. And hey, that illness you said you had, I think I have it too, I even have the same symptoms and everything.

Btw, I looked at that link, and I couldn't find Amanda.

Oh, and rderoch...

If they could bottle the wonderfulness that is Amanda, I would definitely be addicted to Amandahol.

**Skydiver** · 17 July 2008, 07:40 PM

great list!!

ok, from the pov of someone that's listented to a lot of them, well through s6 or 7

jim menard is fascinating only if you're a film student. He gives great detail, just not quite the detail your average fan wants to know

the disclosure commentary is worthless. gary jones isn't credited, but he did it with don and the two fo them talk about anything and everything but the episode

peter deluise seems to have an obsession wiht constipated looking jaffa, so his commentary jumps in the gutter at the first opportunity and never gets out...personally, the potty humor gets kinda old kinda fast for me

martin wood's commenary are good, so are amanda's and chris'. never listened to MS's. jim menard's dry commentary gets kinda boring, PdL just gets on my nerves with the potty stuff, joe's are okay, so are paul's - he's pretty quiet.

I can't remember about tichenor's or the other folks'

That's great to hear Ann, I'm glad you got S4 set. As for me I'm still thinking on whether I should by S4 now and the others seasons later, or wait until the show ends and by the complete series when it comes out. What do you guys think, should I wait or what? I'm very glad to hear that they spook very highly of Amanda, about how she was great and how she was always prepared, that's our Amanda, that's what they and we'd come to expect from her

Well, I did it, today I went out and bought the S4 DVD at HMV.

I went there, I saw it, and I couldn't help myself

I wasn't going to buy it, I was going to leave, I was going to wait until the show ended and buy the whole series in one set just like with SG-1, but you know why I did it? I just had to, I did it because this was Amanda/Sam's last season, and I did it for her, because it's Amanda

I still haven't seen it yet, but I will, and between now, and until the show ends, I'm not going to buy the other DVD's, I really want to because I want to hear Amanda's commentaries and such, but when I do buy the Atlantis set, I'll have both the complete SG-1 and Atlantis series' on DVD *YAY*
