Regarding the "class picture" and to alleviate the fears of my fellow Samandans, below is an idea of what I'm going for...as you can see, you can't really see anyone. It's just a bunch of kids. No close ups or anything...it is a group shot.

Plus...now you see what I looked like in kindergarten...but only from a distance...I know...I was quite the ham, wasn't I???

So please send me your pictures so I can make this group shot of Samandans work...and include your first name and screen name. Any details you don't want disclosed will be kept confidential...but rest assured the pictures are NOT CLOSE UPS!!!



But although the images blur at this distance, PLEASE REMEMBER TO SEND HIGH QUALITY IMAGES...

THE LOST ELDER Part 3
A story of Samanda

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
deepspace is wondering what the people of Samanda will think of this part. She's not sure what she thinks of it herself. Self centred might be a good description.

You know, I tried really hard to write lots of people in, but it ended up mostly about me. Sorry. And I know I've left out so many people. I really want to include more people!

That's great, deepspace! I think the citizens will be pleased.

Wow...and I didn't even notice...

Listen...regarding the group picture thing...please remember that it's just for fun...but I'm not going to waste my time developing a neat Samandan backdrop and banner for just a few people. there has to be at least 10-15 participants to make it worth my time...

But the first name thing is just for my benefit...I just like knowing who Im working with. If that freaks you, then don't tell me your name...

But please make this worth my time okay?

Oddly, the way Sam has been portrayed since her blending with Jolinar, I have a feeling that she tends to not allow herself to get too attached to other hosts because she's a bit afraid of that side of herself. She does not seem very comfortable with the prospect of using the technology and we know that her experiences with having naquadah in her blood hasn't been pleasant.

Nice analysis. It's a plot black-hole that the writers and PTB have left for too long. I agree that Sam is blocking that "shadow" knowledge from Jolinar. It may be the strength of the symbiote's character and duty match Sam's more than she wants to admit. As she told her Tollan beau, she had to make sure that whatever she was feeling were actually HER feelings, not Jolinar's.

In another thread, someone asked why Sam seemed to be so very efficient in matching Ancient and Goa'uld technology to Earth's less advanced one, and the joining with Jolinar was put up as one answer. That Jolinar's experiences and exposure to those technologies found there way into Sam's consciousness. Not sure I agree fully with that; Sam has always been the genius from air force academy on. Nevertheless, a fair question touching on the possible effects Sam may be feeling. (What a battle they missed out on: Sam vs Osiris using the Goa'uld wrist thingies!)

And no mistake: that initial "blending" with Jolinar was traumatic; Sam essentially disappeared when the symbiote invaded, yet we know the host survives. Has she had nightmares, as someone posted? Find herself seeing something other than what's there? Hearing voices? Maybe the fiction books pick up on some of this, but it would deepen our understanding of Sam to see her handle post traumatic stress on screen.

Also...whilst I am asking you for things...I STILL want your personal Amanda Tapping experiences!

Have you seen her at a convention? Have you met her personally? Share your story with me.

I am especially interested in CANDID Amanda Tapping photos...if you're in them or not...that's fine. But I'm interested in original pictures...not the stock SG-1 stuff.
