Count me in

Okay here is a quote from a new Dreamwatch Magazine article with Robert C Cooper "If you like Stargate, you’ve got to check out season nine. It contains what I think everybody has loved about the show from the beginning, and in a new way. People who loved Farscape because of Ben and Claudia did so for good reason. They are unbelievable and so likable. I just think the chemistry between them and our returning regulars, Michael and Chris and, later on Amanda, is really magic."

Yay!! I also caught Reckoning last pm. I loved her performance even more this 2nd viewing.

Spoiler:

Her Replicator Carter is deliciously evil.

Jack: "A delivery of blue jello?"
Sam: "Goody!"
Daniel: "Not again!"

reckoning and moebius showed such fantastic aspects of amanda's abilities. replicarter was magically evil. she had just the right mix of sincerity and quiet menace while sam in moebius was so different, but so close to the 'original'

i found her to be absolutely endearing

I bought my blue jello.

I will confess to getting 10 boxes of blue today...

Now to write a very nice letter to TPTB telling them how much I appreciate AT and Sam....

...and how much i'm looking forward to more Team Leader Sam in Season 9!

[astrogeologist]

I think we should all do our own letters, but do you think we should agree on key points to make & general tone? Here's a draft I just whipped up. What do you think?

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks for the great show, Stargate SG-1 and to write in support of multiple Award winning actress Amanda Tapping and the character of Samantha Carter. As you know, she really brings this integral character alive. As long as Ms. Tapping is willing to play Sam Carter, she will have a devoted following. I’m hoping Sam will get some great leadership opportunities in Season 9. Though we won’t see her for the first few episodes, this blue jello (Sam’s favorite) is to let you know she is on our minds.

This is wonderful, jckfan! Short, but well-worded... very positive. I love it!

Sam: "Look - Oma's dressed just like Glenda the Good in the Wizard of Oz. Wow. I guess that explains why Glenda travelled around as a ball of light, and gave Dorothy cryptic advice instead of just helping her."

Jack: "So... Glenda was...like.. an Ascended Ancient? Magic wand, spangly ballgown and all?"

Daniel: ...PLEASE don't let anybody ask about the full dress uniform that all Ascended wear...

Hey everyone, don't think it's been posted yet, but theres' FINALLY a new interview with Amanda!!!! It's been translated from a French mag!!! Here's the Mag Page

And the Translation:

The heroine of Stargate reveils a new and wonderful adventure.

Amanda Tapping: My Miracle Baby

Soon to be 40 (28 August), Amanda Tapping savours the joy of being a
mother. Satisfied with Olivia as much as with Stargte SG-1, she
started shooting season 9.

TS: Your little Olivia came into your life on March 22nd. What great
joy it must have been!

AT: (laughs) Exactly ! And I can't even imagine my life without her
anymore ! As a matter of fact, from the moment I started shooting
Stargate again, in Vancouver, I have been taking her with me.

TS: Is your husband, Alan Kovacs (married on 23 September 1994) also
crazy about her?

AT: He is incredible. He is always trying to look after her. He
never in his life changed a diaper, but he is a master chef at it.

TS: Is there something you wish to pass on to her?

AT: Kindness. Because the world lacks too much of it.

TS: Before Olivia you've had two miscarriages...

AT: That was very hard on me. My first miscarriage was in autumn
2002, at the end of shooting the last episode of season 7 of
Stargate. The second one was shortly before I got pregnant with
Olivia. I don't need to tell you that we think of our girl as our
mircale baby.

TS: Do you still wish to enlarge your family in spite of what
happened ?

AT: Of course! All the more so, since I grew up with 2 brothers of
whom 1 my twin.

TS: To get back to Stargate, Richard Dean Anderson left the series
at the end of the last season. (M6 is airing the last one he will be
appearing in). Do you miss him?

AT: Yes, a lot. We all miss his humour, his jokes...

TS: Why did he leave?

AT: Because his daughter will soon turn 7 and she needs her father
to be around. During the weekdays, Richard was shooting in Vancouver
while spending his weekends in Los Angeles. It wasn't enough, so he
decided to live full-time in California.

TS: Before Richard's departure, will the fans finally have a clear
view of the love story between Jack and Samantha?

AT: Aaah no ! Anyway, while we wait for Richard's return in one or
two episodes, Samantha says to those who'd want to hear it, that she
isn't single... It's for you to figure it out.
