Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Spimman]

*New to the Thread*

I'd like to see a scenario where Sam makes a decision that goes against what everyone else thinks is right - maybe something offworld in a dangerous scenario and the others back her just because it's her - because they honor and respect her.

I would like to see something like that too, and maybe in Season 9 will will see her role step up into even more of a leadership role...it's amazing how many different alient technologies she understands!

A most excellent answer!! Give da lady a prize!!! Or a blue jello if we have one available.

I so feel like laying in bed and watching Stargate today. Hmm what episodes to watch.

... well, maybe Carter is collaborating with Thor on some ingenious astrophysical breakthrough ... beamed away by the little gray men just as she was reeling in that one big fish in Jack's pond! Ha! Picture that!

Better yet, write the "missing" scene.

Kudos to the Flame Keeper!

I hate these police lineups. They always pick the short one.

Now...for this pic, I took something out (something that I thought made the pic too easy to match to it's episode)... and yet, I have a feeling that many of you will be able to easily identify the episode anyway... So here's the *real* challenge: What did I edit out of the picture?

Guess The Episode

... or create your own episode title...
... or create a caption for the pic...

Sam: Oh, crap! I forgot to TiVo "The Simpsons," "The Apprentice," AND "Desperate Housewives." The guys are gonna kill me.

Correct Kat and Dancer! Great job! And extra blue jello to Kat for figuring out what I photoshopped out of the pic!

Great shot, Kat!

Resurrection (I know that other people figured it out before I did - but I figured it out on my own and am proud of that! ... and it took me a few moments to figure out who was between Sam and Daniel - Agent B!

Ok well it doesn't look like I'm going to get around to doing my season eight summary or if I do it will be late...but I finally made myself sit down and vote.

My top Sam episodes

Gemini, It's Good To Be King, and Reckoning II

Gemini ...because regardless of the outcome, I like that even after eight years of trauma and loss Sam has managed to still keep her compassion and trust. Regardless of what people have said about how this episode was so unlike Sam and that she would never behave this way. I have come to believe that maybe it really was just like our old Sam: to become so wrapped up in finding an answer or unlocking the mysteries of something that she often losses sight of reality for a moment. This isn't her first time. After nearly dying in metamorphasis she still wanted to study the machine without thought of what it meant to the people on the planet. During A Matter of Time, she was absolultely fascinated by the scientific aspects of the blackhole. It took Jack direct vocal interaction to pull her out of it and realize that their were people involved. It's not that I don't think Sam has a lack of compassion or feeling in these instances, but she becomes so absorbed at times it's like she has tunnel vision and the only thing she can see is what is directly in front of her. I think this became much of the case in Gemini.

It's Good To Be King - I liked seeing Sam in charge. It may not have been a lot, but it was cool seeing her give the orders. The gun scene was sweet too.

Reckoning II - We got to see intellectual/scientific Sam figure out a way to make up for what she did in Gemini. To fix the problem she caused without any bumbling, or awkwardness. It was very cool.

As much as I loved Threads as a shipper, there was just too much of Sam being unsure of herself for me to vote for it as my favorite Sam episode. Just as Moebius I & II were great, it was not OUR Sam so I didn't vote for either of them.

Great reviews and comments, Kat!

...And here I was going back through some posts and I ran across this post by NearlyCircular... and it seemed so appropriate (and fun) for our topic of Sam in command...

And here's a link to an AT interview that Chopingal just referred me to... AT says a lot of the same things that she said at the Australian convention (posted earlier in the thread). OK... just got a date ... this was shot sometime between Seasons 4 and 5.

AT's Vicky Gaberau Interview

And near the end.. she says some great stuff about women... and then there is a hilarious response when the interviewer asks her about the renovations on her house... AT says, ' Yeah. Our house was built by Papa Smurf on crack' ROTFLOL!
