Yeay! I get to be an early poster!


AT is just fabulous. I love that she's got range. She can hold her own against RDA's comedy and yet can spew technobabble and make it seem so real. I love that we finally get a thread for just her!

Hell yeah, thanks so much for starting an AT thread Caroline

She's just awesome, you'd think a character who was a beautiful astrophysicist/Lt. Colonel/genius would seem unrealistic, but she's so genuine. You know AT actually researches all of that technobabble so she can kinda understand what she's saying

No way.

The more I see of her, the more I respect and admire her. I was listening to the audio commentaries for S5 (yes a freak is exactly what I am, thank you very much!) and Ascencion- where we actually get to see her house, she brought all kinds of personal pictures and stuff to make it more homey. I love that. I just really do.

She gives audio commentaries for season five? Do you know if she did that for any of the other season? Damn, I need to get more boxsets

Oooh, here's a wallpaper promo thing for the new show AT's hosting. I've never really been a fan of those 'paranormal explanation' things though, but I'll give it another try.

She's one cool lady. And I want those DVD boxes. I have to wait until I get a more steady income.

I can probably take a look at the new show she's hosting but I'm not such a big fan of that either.

It's her own pictures when we see her house in the show?

Hey all
Just dropping by all threads having to do with SG-1 and showing my support but I would like to say that I think that Amanda Tapping is awesome and hope that SG-1 gets a board soon so then this thread could move over there too or maybe she'd even get her own board Just a thought

Hey Destiny_Sucks I really wish we could just get a regular SG board right now... seems as though most of the SG fans post somewhere else I'm sure we'll get there eventually though

AT interview from Sky One!

Quote:



Season eight sees Tapping's Stargate alter ego, Samantha Carter, assuming the leadership of the legendary SG-1 team, following the appointment of Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) as the head of Stargate Command. Carter and O'Neill's new functions represent a radical change for Stargate SG-1, and were prompted by Richard Dean Anderson's reduced involvement in the long-running sci-fi series. After deciding to place Anderson's character, Jack O'Neill, in charge of the SGC as a way of dealing with his reduced availability, the show's producers elected to appoint his former right-hand woman, Sam Carter, as the leader of SG-1, which becomes a three-person team in O'Neill's absence.


How do you feel about Sam's new position?

Carter gets promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. She gets to go out and lead missions. I think it's played right. I wanted to see Carter take a leadership role where she didn't mess up, but where she handled the responsibility well and it wasn't about her being a woman. It was just about Carter being ready for this role.


How does Carter's relationship change with Dr Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Teal'c (Christopher Judge)?

The way I'm choosing to play it is that Carter may be in charge of SG-1 and of the other units that come out with them, but she still very much defers to the expertise of the people around her. She's still very much aware that Daniel's got this expertise and Teal'c's got that expertise, so she's not bossing the guys around! We never go out alone, we always take another SG unit with us, so she does get to do the Lieutenant Colonel bit. But she's just planning the missions and saying, 'OK, you guys go here, you guys go there and the three of us are off here.'


Were you worried about the viewers response to seeing SG-1 without Jack O'Neill at the helm?

Logistically, it made more sense to have Rick become General O'Neill. I think in terms of ease of filming around Rick's schedule, it works better. O'Neill is still capable of coming out on missions with us if he so chooses, so he's still very much a part of the show. When the four of us are together it feels exactly the same. It just means that Chris, Michael and I are getting a bit more screen time, and that we're going out on missions without O'Neill. Fans got very freaked out that perhaps O'Neill wasn't going to be as big a part of the show, but O'Neill is still very much a part of Stargate SG-1.

We have to keep the thread up. Any more news about AT?

Is she going to make any movie of some kind or be in the Airforce for real...?

Just dropping by to say my congratulations to Amanda and her husband, Alan (right? )about their new baby on the way and that I'm really happy for them and everything. And considering the fact that everyone is expressing their well wishes at all the other Stargate threads I figured it'd only make since to do so at Amanda's actual thread
