    Samantha Carter vs. Helen Magnus

    Which Amanda Tapping role do you prefer, Samantha Carter or Helen Magnus? If you don't know who Helen Magnus is, it's the character she plays on Sanctuary.

    Though she's played Carter for far longer, I really love her Sanctuary role. It's really different, plus a dig monster stories. Sanctuary, to me, is like a monster movie of the week played out as an ongoing TV series. Amanda Tapping's "Helen Magnus" is just awesome as this abnormal expert. It's hard for me to choose. I think I'm going to say Carter, simply because I like Stargate (overall) more than Sanctuary.

      not only is she super cool (and has the guy i want ), she's also living the fantasy life i'd love to have.

        Considering I never really liked Carter, but totally love Magnus... Magnus of course.

        Magnus is a far more interesting character than Carter could ever hope to be.

            I turned Sanctuary off half way through the second episode because I couldn't stand that daft accent any longer. So Carter :/

              I can't believe people stop watching a show just because they can't stand one character's accent

                If you're British, you might understand how bad her accent is. I still watch Sanctuary and enjoy it, but her accent is truly dreadful at times.

                  The accent is cringeworthy at times, but I'm not British so I guess it doesn't bother me all that much.

                      Well I'm British, and the accent sounds okay to me. It took a few episodes to get used to it, as I was so used to hearing Amanda's accent in Stargate. Once I got into the character of Helen I didn't notice the accent.

                        I honestly like Magnus better. Carter was great but I think Magnus has much more depth.

                              Just wait till you hear my accent

                              More seriously and on topic, definitely Sam Carter.

                              I like Sanctuary and I enjoy Magnus' character but man, there's so much they can do with her and for some reason they choose not to. Shame.

                              Carter, otoh, is such a wonderfully well-rounded and developed character with so much depth. She's a brillaint scientist, soldier, commander, friend and woman and even though she strayed into super! category a few times (not more than Daniel though) professionaly, she managed to remain human and fallible. She's strong, selfassured and yet vulnerable and I will always love her for that. She's definitely my all time fave female character in general.
