We don’t just leave people behind. You can’t ask airmen, soldiers … Human beings to risk their lives without backup, without knowing that we would be there for them.

For the Meme Sam Carter

Aside from her taste in men, which @holdouttrout covered pretty well, one of my biggest issues with Sam was them moving her to Atlantis.  In the end, I wouldn’t have done it.  They grossly underutilized her, and it didn’t add anything to her character or to the show.  If they had kept Elizabeth as head of the expedition as a whole and made Sam the military head, I think that would have worked.  It would have been realistic - Sheppard made a lot of enemies and flouted orders a lot - and her placement would have brought some tension.  Plus I could see her and Weir both butting heads and bonding over being two powerful women in charge trying to do what’s best for their people.  

But of course, that would have required the producers to get their misogynistic heads out of their asses, which apparently was impossible.  So…yeah.  I would have just let Amanda Tapping out of the last year of her contract rather than put her in an uncomfortable position and then not even give her anything worth her time to do.

So Sanctuary is a scifi show whose lead character is played by Amanda Tapping right after she left the Stargate franchise.  She was the executive producer and it was her baby.

She played Dr. Helen Magnus, a brilliant victorian female scientist whose along with her four buddies at Oxford decided to experiment on themselves by injecting themselves with vampire blood.  It made her extraordinarily long lived (she starts out the series 150ish years old and because of accidental time travel ends the series 270ish).  She is a crytozoologist of questionable scientific ethics and grey hat morality who runs a foundation that protects and studies creatures she calls ‘abnormal’ from the public and governments who might use or abuse them.  She is an extraordinarily violent woman with an english accent that is Tapping’s actual accent (people complain about it being fake but her mother is English it’s hers they’re just used to her speaking American/Canadian).  She wears a lot of leather jackets, lab coats and occasionally the naughty librarian look.

Oh and she’s canon pansexual.  Did I mention that?

The series is told from her point of view so she’s the hero but she could also easily be a supervillain.  A fact that @liberalmasochist and @shinewithalltheuntold are forever upset at me for having pointed out to them.
