I don't agree as I felt that they made great use of her character in the comics as the events of Yamatai greatly effected her character as she was effected in a way that Jonah never was. And I like Jonah.

And I do agree that Sam being in the series does not make or break the series as the series isn't about her and her not being in the next game or arc will not under mind my enjoyment of the series. I'm actually really enjoying Survivor's Crusade and while I would love to see Sam back her absence, along with Jonah leaving her, is actually needed for this story to work as it helps show just how empty Lara's life is without her friends, and I actually mean that in a good way.

My favorite scene in this series, and the one that made me fall in love with Sam to begin with, is Sam's rousing speech in Secrets and Lies where she shows her understanding of Lara and her love of the past which gives Lara the courage to preform on stage. My favorite scene in Survivor's Crusade is when Lara is helping find a old ship filled with treasure only for it to bring her no joy. Partly because she likely still feels guilty over her fathers death but I also think because Sam and Jonah aren't there to share it with her.

Is Sam needed to enjoy the series, no. Do I want her back in the series, yes. Do I understand your point of view and understand that I and many other fans might have taken our love for the character to far and are over hyping her? Yeah and sorry about.

Though for the post of that vote that was me just being happy that Sam does have so many fans as I was beginning to feel that people who truly loved this character were in the minority only to be proven wrong. I actually needed that because I have been feeling down for a number of reasons so this really helped.

Still, I understand your annoyance and apologize on behave of the Sam fandom for our rather obssessive nature. ^^'
