How Sam's story in the comics SHOULDN'T END! As Lara continues to try and find a way to free Sam from Himiko Sam tells Lara to bugger off and Lara decides that she has to let Sam go and that she is gone forever.

This would be a very stupid way to end this story as it would expect us to except that Lara would just live a threat like Himiko to her own devices as it was shown that she still has some of her power as shown in the comics when Sam jumps off the boat. Also Sam is not dead, we know that she is still in there, and Lara just giving up on her like this AGAIN would be rather insulting to me as a fan of these characters.

As I, and many others, have said before, the best way to end this story is for Sam to be the one to destroy Himiko once and for all, through sheer force of will. Have the Penultimate arc take place in Sam's head as she battles Himiko for Control and Sam wins out in the end.

And don't just ignore this in Tomb Raider 3, have it play at least a bit role and show that it did have an effect on Lara and Sam's relationship but one they are able to over come. I also think that Sam SHOULDN'T get any of Himiko's powers as that just raises the question of why she and Lara don't just use that to defeat Trinity once and for all.

All Sam has to do is summon a Hurricane over Trinities HQ, keep it there for a few hours and boom, problem solved. Also Himiko's powers seem to be tied to her own soul so Sam having these powers would mean that Himiko is still in her and I would rather just have Himiko destroyed forever and move on with the story.

But yeah, Please Crystal Dynamics, Mariko Tamaki and Rhianna Pratchett, don't end Sam's story like that, as was shown in Rise with Jonah playing the role Sam would have played and many not being that into the idea of Lara and Jacob, (he's literally old enough to be her father, also their relationship was more akin to a father daughter relationship), fans want Sam back as Lara's love interest.

Give us back our Sam!
