And it seemed telling that Sam isn't so much traumatized by her injuries or anything that happened as much as how people *perceive* her might have been damaged

That's rather brilliant. It reminds me of Sam from the earlier days of SG-1, when she very much wanted to prove her worth to her team. That said, I wonder what would've happened if it had been her team with her (though her boys wouldn't die... hee). I think, if it was in the later years of SG-1, then she would've been comfortable showing her weakness, that what reluctance and regret she would have would be diminished by the comfort her team provides her (like in Death Knell, where she's not afraid to admit she needs a rest).

Of course, Sam's always been driven and ambitious -- it's one of the things I love most about her. And she works damn hard, and coming into her first position as a leader of a base, I can see her starting from scratch all over again.

It makes me think of Sam in charge of the SGC -- what would that be like?

Ack! Your fic makes my brain go nuts. Hee. But in an entirely good way.

Yeah, I think Sam in her early days of SG-1 is a good analogy. She's certainly more confident in herself and her abilities, but Atlantis is a whole new game with a culture, enemy, and all that she is not familiar with. She's no longer the expert, but the new person, the person replacing Elizabeth, and she really does have a lot to prove. Plus, the way they have used Sam on the actual show in season four...something about it was always strange to me and then I read this interview AT had given and she mentioned something about playing up Sam's loneliness on Atlantis. (Think of that scene in one of the last eps where Sam asks Teyla to call her 'Sam'. Really sad, if you think about it (both that it took her that long to ask and the very fact that she had to in the first place.) So, yeah, Sam on Atlantis is an interesting prospect.

Gee, you seem to have unleashed my inner babble tonight. Lol. Apologies. :)
