This sentiment echoes the widespread respect for Carter's character, who often served as the team's intellectual backbone.

Another fan humorously added, "Rodney McKay blew up a solar system as well. How hard can it be?" referencing another beloved character from the Stargate universe.

Another fan shared their admiration, saying, "I have like, ten crushes on this gorgeous, competent woman. She's top woman in Sanctuary, and has a hot British accent."

Samantha Carter's legacy continues to inspire and entertain, with fans rewatching the series and reminiscing about their favorite episodes. One fan aptly summarized their feelings, "I'm in the middle of a rewatch and Carter is indeed all that and a bag of chips."
