I gotta say, I don't really like her as a brunette. I dunno, I think it makes her look older.

hmm...I don't say I dont like it. but I do say that I prefer her blonde...I think blonde is just better...the same thing why I don't dye my hair blonde coz brown just looks better...she has the opposite IMHO!

but it still looks good...only I prefer blonde

*goes sit in a corner, scared*

I don't know Sam, it's your call.

I think I want to.
Jack looks at Sam carefully for a moment to see if she's sure, then he turns back to the doctor.

All right, tell us--boy or girl?

love this one and the others you posted!

Its been going on since Friday. The Mods are trying to fix it, so hopefully we'll be back to normal soon

Edit: Oops! Forgot the Img tags!

Hmm I haven't had troubles with GW...only with internet...but that is probably coz it's free...and I have no idea where I'm getting the ~~stolen~~ connection from!

**SamJackShipLover** · 06 May 2008, 03:42 AM

The other day, I posted my interpretation about Amanda's ideas about our ship (I felt she doesn't think the ship is important for the character of Sam).

Someone who also attended AT3 (SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) walked away with a whole different feeling, she posted on another forum about it and I will quote her here.

I admit that I have thought evil things about AT in the past because of seemingly snarky remarks she'd been quoted as saying...

but after listening to her speak for two days, hearing the wonderful and witty and humorous and loving...yes, loving...things that came out of her mouth (both for and against ship)...I would never EVER believe another quote that has her bashing the S/J ship. She is THE shipper. She is shipper extraordinaire. She "flirted" relentlessly this weekend with the idea of Sam and Jack, from saying Carter (if she won the lottery) would buy up all the land around a Cabin in Minnesota, and buying a realtionship with him, and buying HIM...to saying the BDU shirt would be what she'd "be wearing in the morning"...to WooHoo'ing at our Gone Fishing table when she saw the framed picture, right down to the talking about the possibilities of S/J ship in future movies. According to her people have even sent her fan fic to read, and she liked it. Enjoyed it. She wants to read more.

Her comments about the ship during the show were after a person asked what SHE thought the worst thing TPTB did to her as a character. Someone else felt that there should be no ship...and she asked the audience if we were all S/J shippers. I heard a couple no's, but 95+% of the audience were all for it. And she merely said that "in the context of the show I tend to agree" because let's face it...Carter would NEVER have done what we wanted her to. She would NOT screw the regs and shatter both careers. But she VERY CLEARLY told us all that hey, she's no longer under his command, so she doesn't see a reason why it can't happen now.

She never said she didn't want it to. She never ONCE said she was against it.

Amanda Tapping ships Sam and Jack...just as much as we do.

She has been taken out of context far too much, as she herself alluded to...ok, no, strike that...she didn't allude to it. She kept mentioning it. She gets misquoted. She knows it.

I guess no one who wasn't in that room...watching the tears stream down her beautiful face...at the thought that so many people loved and adored her...a fact that she struggles to understand in REAL modesty...not the artificial kind...would ever understand that there is not a mean or spiteful bone in that woman's body. It's not who she is. It's not WHAT she is. There are no words to describe the feeling of total love that you can feel for someone, while you, she, and hundreds of other people in one room watch a video of AT3 moments set to "You Raise Me Up."

So no, I don't think you would have been unhappy if you'd gone. Because as much as we were all brought together here by the love of Sam/Jack, we are kept together by the love of RDA and AT. And if you (in general, not specifically) are never able to be part of such an emotionally charged, overwhelming and entirely draining (in all good ways) event such as what we went through...you will never truly be able to appreciate Amanda Tapping for the human being she is.

I've decided to make sigs with completely random episode pictures

This first one is Fail Safe and Fifth Race

..it's amazing how easy it is to find pictures that mirror each other

Thanks for posting this...and all the other AT3 goodness.

And yeah...Amanda seems to be miss-understood a lot of times. She says something as a joke and it's taken way too seriously. There was never doubt in my mind that she's a shipper.

**Bekki** · 06 May 2008, 04:07 AM

Thanks for posting SamJackShipLover

It's good to know a few viewpoints!

AT3 sounds like it was WONDERFUL!!!

...ok - random episode sig #2. We've got Fire and Water, and Space Race this time

**mara-anni** · 06 May 2008, 04:20 AM

Hi Shippers!!!

OMG! BW lurked?

Holy cow! And I missed it of course...stooopid work!!!

So did we say anything remotely intelligent that would convince him to give us our confirmation while he was here?

CONGRATS APA ON 4000 BIG ONES!

Thanks, Mara. You've made the case far more eloquently than I was able to. In fact, I have nothing to add..except we miss you around here and hope you pop in more often once you get settled again!!!

And I too love a good SG discussion, which was one of the reasons I finally de-lurked a year ago and joined this thread. Back then (in the old days...) they were doing an episode a week...everyone would vote on an ep and then people would watch it at their leisure and post comments about it thru the week. It kind of faded out since a lot of the people around at the time had been over and over many of the episodes repeatedly and were a little worn out talking about them, I think. Given that we have a lot of people who have joined since then, I wonder if it might be worth reviving that tradition? I know from time to time we've had a sort of spontaneous episode discussion, but it's usually fairly concentrated around a couple of hours time and I think other people have been hesitant to join in. Maybe we could get back to the "Episode of the Week" and that way everyone who wanted to could participate....

just a thought.

Wow, I'd completely forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Yeah that does work well for those who haven't been able to be around for our RT viewing...me

It was Lies who set it up last time but I think it's easier to do it the way you said.

*waves hand* I think I can address this!

See...I don't think that she got her gender wrong; her last host was a man...and so Jack would consider the symbiote male...if she'd said "she's telling you the truth" it would have revealed immediatley that it was the symbiote talking. Jolinar was a practiced agent. She got a few things wrong in the beginning but given time she was able to gauge her audience better, push the right buttons and make herself as believable as possible. And IIRC, at the end, when Jack tells Sam she won...she beat it, Sam says: "It wasn't me...the goa'uld gave it's life for me...saved me...." --she doesn't refer to it by any specific gender. If it had been Sam before, I think she would have continued with the same gender-identification here as well.

EDIT:

Oooh...and just cuz I feel like it...

Firstly...well said and I completely agree.

Secondly...who are you and what have you done with APA???!!!!

I couldn't help but glance up APA - after spending some considerable time contemplating the above pic - and noticed your very nice new Avatar

Ooh, I get to check Jack's pulse! That always gives me a chance to savor touching him for just a moment without anyone noticing. Is it a bad thing that I almost look forward to him being knocked unconscious?

ROFL!!!! Hehehe...I guess Sam likes some Jack whump too

Jack's POV - in season 8 (the time of the potato)

Long ago you loved me
Now you stare
With eyes that guard like hounds
so that I can't see past them

Long ago you looked at me
and in your eyes
I saw a shimmer of something greater than myself
Now I see you
Hiding

Long ago you found me
Hiding in my own eyes
scared to look at you
and see that you were beautiful

Long ago I saw you
and watched as you almost took me
and my eyes sighed as you backed away

Long ago I loved you
Always

see? That's what happens when you don't post

you get subject to D grade poetry

Edit: ahh, Senedra has broken the dry spell of posting! *applauds*

I'm here I'm here!
I plead the fact that I've just moved back to uni after by spring vacs and as I have no laptop it's hard to post when you're in a car...

Thanks for the post SamJackShipLover!
glad you had a good time at AT3
I've always thought that AT didn't have a problem with the ship so much, just the idea of demeaning Sam's character if they were involved illicitly. It's not who Sam is (but then it's not who Jack is either) and I think it would have ruined the characters, the ship, and even the show if they'd done that. Now that the big regs and COC issue is gone it wouldn't take anything from the character to have them together.

**Aveo_amacus** · 06 May 2008, 06:17 AM

Congrats on 1600 Bekki!!!

counting down to loosing the potato, can't wait to see your new avatar!
