Someone asked about AT3 .... feel free to link to my LiveJournal, I think my posts there cover about everything, including Amanda's shippy comments and the phonecall with RDA
He talks in vagueness, like the clouds
Drifting and full of anguish;
And all that’s best of his heart he shrouds
Resigning himself to languish.
Thus hallowed by that tender light
Which duty and honour to him denies;
He stays in shade, protects them both,
Gives no reason for her to shy
From the man who can make her an oath,
Who places her on pedestal high;
No matter that it stops his growth
Never again will his heart fly.
He sees the worry o’er her brow,
Confused, scared, unsure,
He wants to see the smiles that glow
But knows they’re for him no more,
He hopes for her the years will flow,
She’ll find happiness to make her soar.
First things first, I'M OUT!! Finally!!! Got out yesterday morning but now I'm kind of struggling to get back into a routine. I seem to be so tired all the time, and really early as well, like 8 o'clock. When I was in there all I wanted to do was get out and I had so much energy, now I've kind of deflated a little, lol. Still, back now and ready for some major shipping. Trying to start, yes start, work on my Ship Day offering but it might be a little late . Apologies.
Anyhoo, how the diddly is everyone?
You're out!! ((((Sarai))))
Being original is difficult when you can't stop quoting your favorite tv show, For crying out loud!
Yes, well said. I agree completely. What I was trying for, but better. Cause I also think we FINALLY see Sam getting up full courage to face Jack AGAIN with this - which is what 'Jack' in Grace was getting at WAY back then - in his backyard in Threads. Only, finally, I think Jack (and Kerry) get it. But, again, I think the moment for Jack that makes him start to change his opinion is when he realizes Sam isn't happy. Which, I really think, he'd assumed she'd be.
And Kerry's realizing it too, of course, if it's that obvious even to her... He has to act for the same reasons he didn't before - because it's what Sam needs.
Oh *sigh* I need some waffles, coffee,and Threads (don't ask!)
mmmm....waffles.....esp. with genuine maple syrup....yummy
Found these somewhere...made me laugh and now I can go shopping with a huge honking grin on my face. It's a chat they did with AT and RDA.
-Question from hw_chaos:
What storylines do you hope to see wrapped in this season since it is your last, and where do you imagine Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter to be 5 years down the line from now?
Amanda Tapping:
I would like to see what happens with the Tok'ra. There's actually quite a few gangland threats that we need some closure to, too many to get into right now. What ever happened to Joe, Sam's first husband, when we went back to 2001 and we left him on this Harvester? But now Rick and I are discussing where Jack and Sam will be in 5 years... We think we'll open a deli right outside Area 51. [To Rick] Weekends at your cabin fishing? He doesn't want to fish anymore. He might catch a fish one day, that would scare him. We'll both retire, and I'll finally be able to call him Jack!
Question from flashpointe68:
Is Rick as great a kisser as he seems he would be??
Amanda Tapping:
Rick is phenomenal kisser. Wait, let me double-check that, I'm going to kiss him right now. That was a short one but he is, in fact, as phenomenal a kisser as one might imagine. That was a great question, because I got to kiss Rick. Any more like that and I'm all over... Rick fainted, though. [laughs] Thank you thank you thank you, this is so great!-
Huggles
ROFL - if I didn't know any better I'd say AT was TRYING to give RDA a heart attack.....
There's more in that chat...seems those two were in a shippy mood!
-Question from newbie_005:
"Window of Opportunity" is my favourite episode. I was wondering if you woke to find yourself reliving the same day, and could take actions with no consequences, what sort of things would you do, and why?
Amanda Tapping:
As Sam Carter? I'd go fishing with Jack. Over and over and over again!
-Question from samjan2:
Hi! We first want to say that we are two 40-something year old professional women who live vicariously through Sam and Jack's relationship (what there is of it) and enjoyed season 4 the most (please don't tell us to get a life!) Please tell us that there will be some (any!) Sam/Jack moments somewhere in season 6. Will they finally declare their love for each other by the end of the series? Will they be together and, if so, how do they work it out?
Amanda Tapping:
Wow, I would never say "get a life." I think it's great that you enjoy that aspect of it. I have no idea what is going to happen between Sam and Jack, but we sure have fun when we get to be together! I think they'll retire after it's all over, go to a cabin and make babies, and fish! [laughs]
-Question from tessamac:
Hi Rick! At Gatecon last year, Amanda described the way you smelled in 22 words or less. Could you do that for her too, please? :-)
Richard Dean Anderson:
She described how I smell???? [To Amanda] You described how I smell??? Come over here, Amanda, let me smell you... I'm smelling Amanda now! Mmm... she smells like hairspray. She smells like the very essence of life itself. It means she should shower. Soon. She's smelling me now... I'd put her on the phone, but her nose is between my toes. Come on, get up!

YAY!!!!!!!! *crash tackle squishy huggles sarai and then picks her up and spins her then squishy huggles her again*....we missed you!!!!!!
Someone asked about AT3 .... feel free to link to my LiveJournal, I think my posts there cover about everything, including Amanda's shippy comments and the phonecall with RDA
Oh my God! I laughed and I squeed! Does anybody know what Amanda and Rick were saying while talking on the phone? A lot of people are talking about it but nobody's saying what they said...did I just make sence?
The last question about reshooting the honeymoon......

*fainted*
Cute eh? Uhh, from what I remember, at first when she got the phone we didn't know who she was talking with (I think the guy from Legends arranged it btw). We all thought at first it was Teryl Rothery, because she was in London as well and Amanda had been talking how fun it would be if Teryl was to come over. Then we thought maybe it was her husband, some people thought Olivia. Soon we found out it was RDA.
They had the "what are you wearing" conversation. Rick asked what Amanda was up to, she said we were raising money, for hearing dogs and Waterkeepers. Rick goes on how he really likes water ... "in fact, I'm having some right now". Lol.
He talks about his new dog (and Amanda is all "you have a new dog???"", but I think most attendees knew already lol). I think he said something about his dog being really smart, but I'm not sure anymore.
They go on about meeting up for the night (if only he would've come by), lots of cutesy stuff, and that's about all I remember.
What I think is cool is, assuming each of these AUs had an event, which led to a serious of events, which led to different timelines than ours...
<snip>
*swoon*
Ooh interesting indeed. Part of me thinks you might be right there with Pete and Jacob, but another part of me thinks that it would be logical for Sam to have been on her honeymoon with Jack because of all the other S/J hints in that episode. Although really, thinking about it, Daniel shouldn't have been quite so surprised at the idea of Sam being on honeymoon - after all in his reality she was engaged not so long ago... so not a huge difference really. Hmmm... I do like your theory about this proving that Pete was bad though
A little OT here, but as it concerns one of our family...
Amy (gater62) lives in one of the communities that was right in the path of Hurricane Dolly. I think she went offline this morning when they lost power. Watching the Weather Channel, I saw that her town was under at least 2 feet of water in the downtown area and they'd had wind gusts of 74 mph. So, if everyone wouldn't mind keeping Amy and her family in your thoughts...I know she'd appreciate it.
Superb post! I've posted my theories of parallel episodes with Sam and Jack before (Message in a Bottle v. Entity, Paradise Lost v. Grace, In the Line of Duty v. Abyss, New Order v. Abyss), but this is one I hadn't noticed. Good catch. And completely agree with you about the need for angst in a ship - stories move forward through conflict and release, it's the most basic pattern. Basically we need all three pillars of ship
okay, i've been going over the shippy greatness we've been getting lately, and i 'think' i've got them in the right order. can anyone go over them to see if i've got it right? (or if i've missed anything)
BIG spoilers
Spoiler:
*amanda at at3.
*subtle ship in 'continuum'.
*the s4 commentaries.
*joe saying the commentaries 'confirmed' sam and jack are in a relationship.
*brad wright's interview where he said there'd be a 'romantic' scene between sam and jack.
*joe saying au-sam was married to au-jack in 'ripple effect'.
You can suggest words, but you'd have to talk to the writer of it. She'd probably put it/them in, but still...Ask her. Or better yet, she'll probably read your post and decide then, lol!
LOL!!!!!!!
And now I'm off to bed...
(((Family)))
Words and suggestions for the Shiptionary always happily received I will add them later on tonight!
Time for my first random question. If we had had a slightly better resolution in the end of S8, y'know maybe even ka kiss, would you have prefered Stargate to end there or would you choose what we have atm - no confirmation, S9-10 plus 2 movies and counting? For me Stargate has been more than S/J ship. The ship is what made the show a lot better to me. So I don't know how to answer myself.
Did I make any sense at all?
Um, the banners are basically done, but you can tell us anyway.
Hmmm, this is a difficult one. My big gut feeling, ever since first watching the last few eps of S8, that that is where Stargate should have ended. SG-1 get their version of riding off into the sunset with the going fishing, resolution for the ship, all the major storylines tied up - it was just the logical, perfect, complete ending. I was very disappointed with S9, just wasn't the Stargate I knew and loved, but S10 is a lot better (haven't seen AoT yet ). But I love Stargate and wouldn't want to say that I wish we hadn't had any more, that would feel, I dunno, ungrateful, kinda. And I do like the shippy hints and the feeling that the storylines and the people (and the ship) have all gone on. So I don't know! I would have been very happy with it ending after S8, would have felt complete, but having seen S9&10 I also feel that that's part of Stargate and I love Stargate so...
I noticed this little thing watching S9. I know Sam is very much capable of making jokes, even when they're not exactly appropriate. But this sounded very much like a joke Jack tried to do in S1.
Hammind: "It costs nearly a billion dollars just to turn the lights on around here."
Jack: "How about a bake sale? Yard sale? Garage?"
Hammond: "This is what I look like when I'm not laughing, Colonel."
Jack: "Car wash?"
Orlin: "Basically, I know what I need to make. I just don't have any of the right materials or tools."
Sam: "This is the best we have…I can get you a toaster if you need it?"
Orlin: "Not unless you're hungry for toast."
Sam: "Waffle iron?"
Hmmm. I don't have much to say (AGAIN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?) But I did want to nod and agree with what everyone is saying! Great shippy thinking caps today, friends!
Oh () and in case it wants to be added to the list,
In Australia, if we wanted confirmation, we would say
Just let 'em bonk, mate!
*giggles*
Aussies! Honestly!
(I have to say here, two of my ex-housemates are Aussies, from Brissie actually just like you, and that is said with all the affection that comes from being a Brit and having Aussies as some of your best friends who you lived with in happy harmony for two years )

Sarai!!!
So good to hear you're out and to have you back, we've missed you! *big huge squishy hugs*
In honor of the upcoming Ship Day (which I will most likely miss, as we'll be on our vacation following Saturday's big event), I've two more caps to add - but I'll put them in spoilers for space.
Early shippiness, and a grinning Jack (well, he grins more in the eps, but maybe not my caps)! Can't beat that, eh?
Spoiler:
Thanks again for the AT3 stuff, and Sarai, welcome back, glad you're doing better.
