After thinking about this, I wanted to get a screen capture of Sam in
front of a board filled with equations...but it turns out that they shot
those scenes so that you can't get much of a look at the board when they
also have Sam in the frame.
Ah well... just have to make do with these other *cool* shots from that
episode!
In the first image, Sam checks out the new gravity field at the event
horizon.
In the second image, Sam orders the iris closed... the incoming wormhole
is pulling things through the wrong way!
In the third image, Sam gives 'The Donut Explanation' to Hammond (just how
does an astrophysicist explain black hole quantum physics to her superior
officer?)... oh..and, blowing up the mountain is not going to solve the
problem...

It was difficult to get clear, sharp stills of this sequence as AT kept
moving and the scenes were not brightly lit.
Sam: "I have to close the door."
Cassie nods. With that Sam gets up and leaves the room.
Sam is still crying, they take one last look at each other,
and Sam shuts the heavy door, and spins the wheel to lock it.
Cassie: "Sam? Sam?"
Sam is sobbing now.
She steps into the elevator and makes it go up.
She starts slamming her fists against the walls and kicking it.
She finally sits down in a corner, still sobbing.
Suddenly it looks like she has realized something
and she stands back up and hits the stop bottom on the elevator.
One of my favorite moments was when AT shows that
look on her face when 'she just knew'
- when she decides to go back down (second photo from the right in the
strip above).
SCENE CHANGE:TOP OF FACILITY
We see the elevator lights stop at 26 then goes to back down.
Daniel: "Jack, she's going back down."
Jack: "The hell she is." Jack goes over
to the speaker. "Captain Carter?" Sam doesn't
answer. "Captain Carter."
SCENE CHANGE: Cassie's room in the facility
Sam walks in. We here Jack's voice thought the speaker in the room.
Jack: "Sam, do you read me?"
Sam walks over to the speaker.
Sam: "Colonel, I'm staying."
SCENE CHANGE: Top of Facility
Jack: "Negative."
Sam: "Colonel, she's awake."
Daniel: "Oh god!"
SCENE CHANGE: Cassie's room
Sam shuts the heavy door, and locks it.
Jack: "Captain, Carter. I am ordering you to get
back up here, right now." Sam finishes locking it and ignores the
speaker. "Right now!"
Sam goes to Cassie and they hug.
Cassie: "Are we going to die?"
Sam: "No, we are not going to die."

Here's a few episode snapshots of Sam's natural 'softer side'
The first photo is Sam and Merrin in the 3rd season
episode 'Learning Curve'
and the second and third photos are Sam and Cassie from the 1st season
episode 'Singularity'
In 'Learning Curve' the interaction between Sam and Merrin is wonderful as
Sam figures out how the reactor works and then explains to Merrin how
rewarding it is to figure something out for yourself. This scene interwove
Sam's interaction with the young Merrin and Sam's own child-like sparkle
and delight when solving mental challenges on the frontiers of science...
interpolating between ideas and then extrapolating beyond them.
In 'Singularity' the penultimate scenes are when Carter first tries to
leave Cassie, but then just can't do it and she goes back down. AT's
acting in these scenes should have garnered awards. The scenes later in
the park, with Sam and Cassie on the bench, show a softer, gentler side of
Sam Carter that rarely gets to show. But it's scenes like these that flesh
out the character of Sam Carter and make her multi-dimensional beyond the
proper military subordinate and/or simple science geek.

I remember this scene so vividly -- AT played it so exceptionally
well, that it has stuck with me over the past six years. Once others on
this thread commented on it so positively, I decided to go and make a few
screen capture panels... of note, I'm not a Sam/Martouf shipper (no
offense to anyone who is) - but this scene is still fantastic!
MARTOUF: Jolinar's host, Rosha, was very
beautiful. She had eyes like the oceans of Marloon, hair was the colour of
Abydos, and her smile was, was as infectious as laughter. In fact, Rosha
looked very much like you Captain Carter. You are very beautiful. You'd
make a lovely new host for Selmak.
Sam turns away.
MARTOUF: I'm sorry, I've said something to
upset you.
SAM: No. Yes! It's difficult enough with just
the remnants of Jolinar in here. The last thing I need is another person -
symbiote - whatever.
Sam sits down on the edge of the ridge. Martouf stands a little way
away.
MARTOUF: I didn't mean to upset you so.
Martouf walks over to Sam and crouches down next to her.
SAM: It's just the thought of going through that
again.
MARTOUF: Don't give it another moment's
thought. It was an inappropriate suggestion. Please understand that it
came from a deep desire to have Jolinar back in my life in some form.
SAM: This must be what it feels like to be
schizophrenic.
MARTOUF: What is schizophrenic?
SAM: It's a mental illness humans have. It's
like a split personality. Two people in one brain. I mean, there's me,
Samantha Carter, and then there's this leftover part of Jolinar that feels
things like...
MARTOUF: Like...?
SAM: Like some pretty deep feelings for you.
MARTOUF: Jolinar left this imprint on your
mind?
SAM: Yes.
MARTOUF: I'm sorry if it makes you
uncomfortable, but...
SAM: No! It's just... what you had, you and
Jolinar, you were in love longer than I've been alive! Hell, longer than I
will be alive!
MARTOUF: She left this feeling with you?
You can feel how she felt for me?
SAM: Yes. And it's confusing the hell outta me.
MARTOUF: Why?
SAM: Because it's not just in my mind like a
memory, I feel it. Like I've had this relationship with you for 100 years.
I don't know if I can describe it with words. What Jolinar felt for you, I
don't even think I'm capable of comprehending.
MARTOUF: Maybe there's another way you can
communicate it. Perhaps in a way other than words.
They interlock their hands and then Daniel and some Tok'ra guys rush
up.

This scene developed and showed important facets of Sam Carter's character
and personality.

Re: Sam's a great character - spoilers for *ALL* seasons
One of the best Sam Carter moments – that hooked me on Stargate – was at
the beginning of the Season 3 episode ‘Forever in a Day’. SGC personnel
are fighting all-out against advancing Jaffa. In the midst of the pitched
battle Sam capably handles an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade launcher, if I
have that correctly).
What astounded me when I saw these fleeting intro scenes was how the
writers and directors allowed Carter to simply function as one of the
soldiers. No comment on the fact that she was a woman… or that RPGs are
usually associated with macho men… More typically an RPG is something that
they would have had Teal’c or O’Neill wielding. But Carter got to do it…
and they simply moved on without fanfare. I was so impressed at how they
handled the female soldier, that I became an avid fan from thereon after.
First two photos are screen captures from
the StargateFan website
Rightmost photo is a screen capture from
the Abydos Gate Website
After that I ordered the Season 1, 2 and 3 DVDs and watched them in order.
What a treat! So many great Carter moments (see earlier posts).
Being a female scientist myself, I love seeing Carter organically solve
techno-science problems. AT has created an intelligent female character
who isn’t arrogant or b----y.
I also like seeing the ‘softer side of Sam’… the moments when they let her
cry…. or simply dress in jeans or a skirt and a simple shirt.
But when each new episode begins, I have to admit, I am always hoping that
they will show more of the oh-so-competent kick-ass ‘Soldier Sam’.

My vote overwhelmingly goes to giving Sam lots of screen time as the Hand
Signal Person In Charge!

MCKAY: (To, it looks like Siler who's measuring the distance with a

want to be able to take credit for it when it works.
SAM: (Pointed, just for him

For the record, I *HATE* you. (Lovely smile on her face)
MCKAY: Well, can't get any worse, then,can it?
SAM: Oh, no. I'm rapidly working up to "Despise".
MCKAY: You know, we're obviously gonna have to get over this physical

SAM: (Whispers) I think I can act as though it never existed.
MCKAY: Shall we save the world?
SAM: (Sarcastically) Before I take the credit for this ... shouldn't
the EM pulse generator be pointed *AT* the gate??
MCKAY: (Points at her) You're good! (Sam points back at him
smiling) VERY good! (The SF's turn the EM pulse generator around)

Sam is definitely my favorite character, and I really appreciate
Amanda Tapping's portrayal of her. She is the main reason why I
began watching the show, and why I continue to do so (as well as
because of the great team interaction).
One of my favorite Sam moments is in
Upgrades when she makes such an exquisite pool shot (I like the
fact that AT actually did do this, twice!). I can't
imagine anyone else but AT playing Sam.

Clearing the table... of the money too...

How cool is that?

And everyone's citings of their
favorite scenes (especially the humorous ones that Coley mentioned)
made me think of this one:
Photos are screen captures from the episode "Small Victories"
This is right after Sam's idea (to blow up 'the O'Neill') succeeds in taking out
the Replicator ships.
Sam says 'Yes!' and then exhuberantly hugs Thor
... and then realizes that she's hugging an Asgard...
Sam: "OH! I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Thor: "I am fine"

can be used to differentiate different characters.
take entity for example. her face is so cold and set and mean.
with jolinar she's angry and calculating and, under it all, scared
to death
the look on sam's face in the end, when cassie comes, chokes me up
every time
she doesn't necessarily need a wig or costume to make her 'twins'
different....she can do it just with simple expressions and tone
of voice.
that ain't easy. There are other actors who always play the same
character, just with different names and wardrobes
