Beverly Hills is where every race as long they got the beaucoup bucks live in those multi-million-dollar homes. On totally spies forums, fans took notice on Sam is the only spy unable to pick up a boyfriend on the series' 108 episodes. 
The question is... Sam a lesbian? What the heck is goin on in the hundreds of TS web sites? Marathon might not answer this one, but I believe Sam isn't the "easy" one like Clover, has "dated every single guy in high school".—Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.14.2 (talk • contribs)

message: Two things folks.  It's great that you guys are eager to contribute, however, we have a few ground rules laid out in order to keep this looking professional.
First off, the Villains section is for recurring villains ONLY.  That means, no one time villains, lest we'd have all of Season 1 in here.  Even with the recurring villains, we only need list the important ones.  All villains listed should have appeared in at least three episodes, or done something extremely noteworthy in their two.  An example of the latter would be Dr. Gilee, as he presumably died in his second.
As far as the main characters go, we do NOT need massive lists of every transformation incident in the show.  Listing all that data defeats the purpose of actually watching it.  Not to mention it looks EXTREMELY tacky.  Any such lists found will be immediately done away with.
To be honest, the article is already massive enough as is.  Let's try to keep it to the essentials! :)GrandMasterGalvatron (talk) 01:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. But can't we just create another article on TS Villans. It makes the list shorter. Also, I want to add Martin Mystery in the article because he did give significant info about Jerry and M.O.M (they were best friends). Dar book (talk) 07:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The villains aren't notable enough in a real world sense to justify an article outside this one.  Also, Martin Mystery has his own series of articles, and doesn't need a mention here.GrandMasterGalvatron (talk) 20:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

message: There was a cite saying teachers called Sam "Samantha" in "Power Yoga Much?" but I haven't been able to watch it yet to confirm. Would anyone be able to specify roughly how many minutes/seconds in this happens, and if we know the name of the teacher(s?) who say it? This would help put together a better cite.
No reference was given at all for Alex being short for Alexandra, so I've requested a citation for it. Is this possibly OR?
The bit about Sam using 'Simpson' is interesting trivia but not reliably for her real name since she was undercover. People can give their real first name while using fake surnames. Harold Finch (Person of Interest), for example, does this with various bird names nearly every episode he's in the field. 174.92.134.162 (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the Alexandra one. It's also not her common name, but yes, the teachers call her Samantha in that episode. It's at the beginning of the episode where she is in gym class. I agree Simpson could be an alias. The description affirms she uses this name in the interview, but there's no last name for any of the main girls or Mandy. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:14, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  "The bit about Sam using 'Simpson' is interesting trivia but not reliably for her real name since she was undercover". I get how you're trying to apply logic to the show but that's just completely bonkers and anything but logical. It's a show about high school girls going undercover as field agents in colorful catsuits and not bothering to cover their faces on their supposedly secret missions (so are they that concerned about being "undercover"? Are they?). And the argument on using Simpson as an alias but Sam as the real name doesn't hold either: if they're that concerned about being "undercover" and the show makes any sensible sense like real life, they wouldn't be using, even, their real first name; the fact that she uses her real first name could be very much evidence that Simpson could be a real name, too. I would agree not to include the names on the basis of "being highly interpretative and difficult to discern as genuine or as a gag", but do make some more convincing arguments than these feeble real-life-logic-applied-to-cartoon things.Fumiko Take (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  If Simpson is her real last name, they would have included it in multiple episodes and her website profile, as with Jerry Lewis. It is only brought up in the context of that one undercover episode, whereas Samantha is referred to by her teachers in more than one episode. Alex isn't expanded to be Alexandra. It could be Alexis or Alexa. Same with Mandy.  If you have reliable sources showing that it's her official full name, and not fan fiction, then please present that. Perhaps from the comic books or children's books? The current footnote is good enough as it shows that it could be her last name as used by the episode, but does not conclusively prove it. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:47, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  "If Simpson is her real last name, they would have included it in multiple episodes and her website profile, as with Jerry Lewis." What? You do know that that none of their last names is mentioned much is simply a matter of course, right? How many main characters on the show are ever known by anything other than their first names? Why would they have the need to mention their last names on more than one occasion, when first names are more than enough to get you acquainted to the main characters? The only characters who ever get the full name or last name treatment are the teachers and the villains. And Alexandra is not what I made up or just randomly found on the fandom wikia, it's what Alex herself did (if that's made up at all) in that episode, which I absolutely clearly cited in case you haven't noticed. Not including those tidbits due to "high interpretativeness" then yes, that's reasonable enough. But forcing arguments to back it up on the basis of "sensible logic applied to insensible cartoon" and flat-out denying the evidence are just ridiculous. A simple "Hey, maybe these things may be plot devices, not that reliable, so we shouldn't include them here" will definitely do.Fumiko Take (talk) 15:26, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've added back Alexandra as yes, you did provide the episode that has her full name. The last names still need either a regular episode where they aren't using an alias. Jerry is the main example for a character where they state his last name to be Lewis over multiple episodes. If the production crew has notes on last names, that would work too, like with Miraculous Ladybug, the director published a list of the last names for each of the students on the show.

message: Would you please quit being so opinionatedly full of crap? She eats foodstuff that is contaminated (as noted by Clover, "seriously gross") and part of the crime scene and potential evidence (which makes Sam have to stop her on more than one occasion). "Not sourced", that's fine, I haven't had time to find all the episodes where she exhibits this trait (too many scattering across seasons, frankly), almost as a running gag. "Eating food stuff isn't really an airheaded move" is just your bollocks opinion, and that is especially rich from someone who claims to be neutral and not "editorializing".Fumiko Take (talk) 15:13, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs to be a more definitive running gag like Alex's driving for it to be notable. You need to re-read WP:SYNTH and WP:FANCRUFT and not list every little trivial detail about the character. If she does have a tendency to eat spoiled food then cite the streak of episodes as such. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:34, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Then why the heck didn't you say that in your edit summary? Are you just being conveniently "conscientious" and editorializing yourself at the same time? Also, the part about "continuity errors" is NOT editorializing. A more comprehensive list of season 6 continuity errors (which is not suitable for mentioning on Wikipedia) can be found here. Although I'd agree it's not too critical to be included.Fumiko Take (talk) 15:47, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have stated stuff about synth and trivia in summaries. Continuity errors and goofs are for sites like Totally Spies Wikia to nitpick. They are dependent on the individual episode writer, so they don't need to be noted unless they are defining for the character (Alex's father) and when it's intentionally going to be a running gag. As for editorializing, please read WP:EDITORIALIZING, and you are welcome to clean up any verbiage in the article that seems to be more your or my personal opinion on the character.
