Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[jckfan55]

Yay!



There was a short SGU teaser released a while ago where Sam's hair looked to be a mix of dark blonde/light brown. SGU began filming before Sanctuary, so she probably just waited to re-dye her hair until she finished filming the SGU pilot.

On another note, I was rewatching Desperate Measures the other day and I noticed a couple of neat AT acting moments that I missed the first time around. After her escape attempt when she's handcuffed to the bed, when Conrad starts coughing Sam seems to lean towards him, as if trying to move to assist him but not being able to, like his situation still pulls at her compassion despite what he's done to her.

And the other bit that I really liked was after Jack rescues her and they start looking for Conrad, there's a short moment when Jack moves in front of her that Sam swipes at her eyes as if brushing away tears. I wonder if AT was directed to do that or if it was an acting choice on her part to show some fallout from Sam's experience, which the show itself didn't really do a good job of showing.

Good catches. I seem to remember the first, but not the 2nd. I'll have to pop that DVD in and check it out. And yeah, I would have liked to see a bit of fallout from her experience--even a few seconds. maybe Daniel just asking if she's ok & her being a bit shaky, but doing her usual "I'm fine." You'd know she isn't really fine yet. Also it would reinforce the team aspect of the episode. I suppose w/ the Jack-maybourne stuff there just wasn't time.

It would have been interesting to see it more from the Daniel & Teal'c perspective. I wonder if there's a fanfic like that....

I walked to HMV today this afternoon, and there they were, I was SO FREAKING happy when I saw them, I got like stars in my eyes, it was a lot like when I got my signed SG-1 movies actually. Like I did with signed SG-1 movies from last time, I've got pics. Here's a pic of the HMV I got it from.

Spoiler:

Here's a pic I took of the DVD at the shore, and few (more than a few actually) pics of the DVD case I took in my room, front, back, inside, everything.

Spoiler:

And here's a little pic of me holding my new found DVD, and a pic of it in my safe, along with my other Stargate DVD's. The Atlantis DVD's are in the back Btw.

Hey y'all, I had another wicked Sanctuary dream last night .

I only wish my dreams were of Sanctuary but not like my dream I had last night. I kid you not...in a nutshell, I had MacGyver, Matt Houston, Magnum PI, Micheal Knight (aka Knight Rider) and Walker, Texas Ranger all come to my rescue...plus I think I saw the A-Team in there too....but talk about an overload! And MacGyver was my boyfriend...???? WT??? I've never seen MacGyver and yet here I am dreaming about him....I'd much prefer Jack O'Neill or John Druitt be my saviour!!
Speaking of John Druitt...Mr Christopher Heyerdahl is coming to town for Armageddon! I iz squeeing!!! Oh yeah!!! I shall try to see if I can get a picture of him with the Amanda picture and sign for that "wish you were here" thing!! Try...but doubtful I will be allowed!

For those in Canada, Space has been running a series of shows called "Inner Space" after the season premieres of shows. So they will probably have one after the first episode of Sanctuary. Also, on IS tonight (after Supernatural) they indicated they would have a segment on Sanctuary. Check your local listings.

I have more Sanctuary/Helen dreams than I do Sam or Amanda, I don't know why. Oh wait, maybes it's because I'm dreaming about them so much during the day, there's not much to dream about at night.

Happy Birthday Amanda_Tapping_Fan!
Hope it's a good one!

Happy Birthday to anyone I might have missed as well since the last time I had time to wander in here... *g*

MGM's site has three photos of Sam from the SGU premiere episode.

Spoiler:

My Our Sam Carter is back.

Amanda Tapping is AWESOME!
Long live the Grand Empress of SciFi!!

All hail the the gloriousness that is Amanda Tapping.

Even before that day we met
on that Station of blessed fate,
Seeds of heavenly affection was sown...
Now, to divine love it has grown.

Etched upon the stars is destiny
Disguised as chance and serendipity.
T'was Cupid's quest to verily enchant...
and bind me to you entranced.

Upon this heart-struck pilgrim,
wings my heart was given.
On the sky below, I see stars strewn...
As I soar to a love made in heaven.

Mere words cannot express
the passion and longing I profess,
for my dearest, once, I had never seen...
Now my Love, My Happiness, My Queen.

A new blog entry on the official SFA site, don't think it has been posted before (though it's from the 24th, so I could've missed it), I'm crossposting it to suitable threads. From here:

Thanks so much!

Oh that's nice to know that they're taking care of the fans.

I was wandering through MGM's site and found this image:



You know what really struck me? I've worked on a bunch of sets, TV and film, and during breaks the "talent" rarely ever interacts with extras and non leads.

Look at Amanda in this shot and with whom she is speaking.

She really does rock.

Well, I taped it, I and I'll upload it tomorrow . I'm not going to say anything about it though, I'll let y'all watch it for yourselves, but I will say this though, Amanda looked so stunning and Robin hates to wear pants . Now, if only Amanda shared his attitude.

Btw, I think for once I'll let you in on something, on Oct 2, on another episode of Inner Space, there's going to be a special behind the scenes look at Sanctuary, which I will also tape and upload . Don't bother thanking me all at once, I'm just another Amanda fan doing his job .

Wow, I sounded like McKay there for a second.

I agree with you both, I've actually seen LOTS fan celebs run away from fans people who just want to talk to them, but not our Amanda . See how Ben, Michael and Chris are talking with each other, and Amanda's talking to an extra? So sweet, just another reminder/reason among MANY as to why she's our queen.

Some news regarding an auction item which people might be interested in:

You may be interested to know that a genuine copy of Stuck obtained from the director, Lindsay Bourne and signed by Amanda Tapping is now up on the eBay auction site - see the link below for full details:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MESELX:IT

Thanks to the generosity of one of our attendees the full sale proceeds from this online auction are being donated (via Gabit at AT4) to the Hearing Dogs for Deaf People charity.

Feel free to spread the words to anyone you know that is interested in getting hold of a copy of this DVD as it would be great if this item raised lots of dosh for our beloved pups!

without even reading what you wrote the first thing i did was look for sam

and that is so neat that she is talking to an extra during the break in filming... so after reading your post the 2nd thing i looked for was the rest of the main cast, who are all standing together... amanda is so sweet, its hardly a wonder she makes friends and fans wherever she goes
