Talk:Samantha Carter

message: Just to add to the confusion: I just watched "Holiday" (Season 2, Episode 17) and noticed the following:
: Sam: "Daniel.  You can't die on me now"
: Daniel: "It's nice to know you don't just like me for my looks"
after which Sam kisses Daniel (in Ma'chello's body) on the forehead.  This seems to fit in with the other hints at a romantic link between Carter and Daniel Jackson.  I'm not sure what (if anything) it means, but this seemed as good a place as any to mention it.

message: The Lovelife section stated:
: Graham Simmons - A Lieutenant at the Stargate Command that has a crush on Carter during the events of "Message In a Bottle"; it is unknown if he survives the alien infection or dies due to an allergy to Tetracycline, the antibody capable of fighting the infection.
Since I've seen Lt. Simmons appear in several later episodes of season 2, I'd say he's not dead.  Therefore I've removed the "it is unknown ... infection" part.

message: Amanda Tapping is contracted for 14 episodes of SGA Season 4. That's all I know, but if anyone has more information, this article should probably be updated to include that. nmw 02:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Regarding Sam's status in Seasons 9 and 10, is it accurate to refer to her as Mitchell's 2IC?
It has never been stated on the show, in fact Mitchell has specifically said (in the Season 10 episode "Insiders") that he and Sam having the same rank is a factor in his inability to "control anything". In "Uninvited", he says that he is used to a clearer chain of command. Neither would be an issue if she were his 2IC, even if they are both lieutenant colonels. 
 
Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi has publicly stated that Sam and Mitchell co-command SG-1.
"In the writers room, we did debate the whole leadership issue and eventually compormised, deciding on a co-leadership." - Joseph Mallozzi, post #2838 in the Ask Joe Mallozzi - Spoilers for SG-1 (S8, 9, 10) and SGA (S1, 2, 3) thread at Gateworld.
Perhaps in the absence of an onscreen statement that Sam is indeed 2IC of SG-1, Mr Mallozzi's word should be accepted and both Sam and Mitchell's profiles should be amended to list them both as co-commanders of SG-1.

text: A friend of mine revealed that all is not always clear-cut in the US military. He saw a 10-12 man team in Iraq, led by a Major with a Lt Colonel in it. Presumably it was a temporary assignment for the Colonel, not worth altering the entire leadership structure of the team for. Tomalak Geret'kal (talk) 22:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure, do you think we should update the picture to a more recent one, say one of the promotional shots from Atlantis, or just keep this one? If we update it the old one will be deleted, and we can't really have one of Sam in the Atlantis uniform just because it's a different uniform. I'm just thinking aloud...Million_Moments (talk) 12:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I swapped the old SG-1 image for her Atlantis image in the infobox. I don't think two images are necessary at the moment per Wikipedia:Non-free content, but this may change when the other sections with real-world content get developed. – sgeureka t•c 21:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: New Picture?

message: which picture should be put on display: ‎ or  
both are cool, but i suggest the former mainly because im still not convinced that Carter was a prominent figure in Atlantis. leading Atlantis wasnt one of her highlights in her career, she was just put there for a moment to boost the show. am i right? the first pic represents her defiance while the second represents her leadership. Dioxholster (talk) 18:48, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am fine with either image, as long as we can keep the number of non-free images in this article to no more than two (preferably one) in the article. (But if I had to decide, I'd pick any SG-1 image of her over an Atlantis imagesper your reasoning. And because I never got used to Carter in leather. :-)) – sgeureka t•c 19:21, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alright which picture is better?  

message: This image has twice been removed from the article w/o summary.  I don't know why, although I speculate that editors feel the article has too many images and will fall afoul of WP:NFC.  [ I've replaced the image again] because it's not copyrighted and certainly doesn't detract from—and should improve—the article.  I asked editors to discuss here before removing again.I also removed the image sizing specifications for :Image:Samcarteratlantis.jpg since WP:MoS#Images recommends against it unless demonstratively necessary since it would override the user-set image thumbnail sizing.I also added a  tagging, since three copyrighted images of the same character is rather excessive.  I would recommend using the first two that're in the prose as they span a greater time, and deleting the one in the infobox as unnecessary.  And again, the Continuum image isn't copyrighted and doesn't run afoul of any image use policies or guidelines.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 18:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: according to ~http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Sam_Carter~ "Promotion to GeneralEdit
 
Roughly two years after the defeat of the Ori, Carter was promoted to Brigadier General and was put in charge of Stargate Command, placing her in command when the base was attacked by the System Lords Third Battle Group. (Stargate Resistance)"

Should it be noted that this "promotion" comes from a video game that is no longer available, and was never canon to begin with?Rcarter555 (talk) 02:00, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
