100 Looks of Sam Carter

[hlndncr]

Look #1


The first time Sam beholds her new commanding officer. She’s young, eager, inexperienced, and with a slight chip on her shoulder. She’s determined to prove to Colonel O’Neill and everyone else that she is the right person to take on this mission and go through the gate, and no one will stop her this time.

Look #2


Same briefing, we see a chink in the armor that will only widen with time. The first time Sam has to hide her amusement with one of the Colonel’s truly awful jokes.

Look #3


Sam is not amused with the Colonel’s admiration for her in “the dress” (or the use of her full name “Samantha”). She believes it’s yet another sign that he still doubts her abilities. But no matter how much she may want his approval and respect, she is determined to stand up and challenge him to do what is right because she doesn’t yet trust him to do the same.

Look #4


OK, so she was under the influence of an alien virus and was completely embarrassed about the whole thing afterward. But don’t tell me she hadn’t thought about it (Jack is hot), and didn’t enjoy it at the time.

Look #5


At this point Sam really doesn’t know her commanding officer very well, but she is given a very rare glimpse into his personal life. She sees Jack’s pain and knows a little of that kind of deep and lasting loss herself (from her mother’s death); she is in complete sympathy with him.

Look #6


We see here one of the few times Sam is actually disappointed in Jack. Finding him in such a position is a big letdown for her because she had come to believe that he was different than other male officers she had served with.

Look #7


This comes in a series. I couldn’t help but see a comparison between two hall scenes. One where Sam is trying to convince Jack to listen to her that Hathor is bad news. The other in Sacrifices where they are discussing the relocation of Ishta’s people. In both they are walking next to one another, discussing the situation on base, and there is touching. In the first, Sam is still trying to be respectful and prove herself to him, even though she knows something is wrong. In the second you can see and feel a closeness and connection between them; they are on equal footing.
