The image of the woman you see now is not Nadija, it's actually a rendering the wife of artist Stjepan Sejic who has worked on Witchblade, Switched and WebComic series Sunstone. I just use it to show thanks as I think it's a rather cute image.

AS for the Lara and Sam relationship, I'll admit that I am a romantic and I get really exited whenever I see a good romance or the elements for a good romance. However, I also wouldn't mind if Lara and Sam's relationship remained ambiguous as to whether the two have romantic feelings for each other or not so long as Lara doesn't end up with Whatshisname from TTTI.

However, I do think that regardless of which direction Lara and Sam's relationship take I do think it should play a key role in Lara's journey and for one simple reason. I think Lara's relationship with her father has been over played and the series itself seems to be implying that Lara should put her father's ghost to rest and move on with her life.

I am tired of Lara effectivly living for her father and I think the end of her journey, or at least this part of her journey, should end with her finally making peace with Richard and moving forward. And that's were Sam and her relationship with Lara comes in. Sam is Lara's new family and the one she has the deepest connection to and to see Lara push her away in a attempt to keep her safe just doesn't sit well with me.

One of my biggest issues with Sam's constant parking is that it has never been her choice to leave Lara it has Always been something that was forced upon her. In issue two of Survivor's Crusade Jonah ended up leaving Lara as he could see that her obsession was going to get the better of her and gave Lara the chance to let go or break off their friendship.

This was, again in my opinion, very well handled and felt like a good exit for Jonah as it seemed to wrap up everything. Obviously that might not be the case as Jonah seems to be returning in Shadow, though what he's role in the game is still unknown so we'll have to wait and see if this is just a cameo or if this scene in the game is Jonah's final Final farewell but that is all besides the point.

If Sam was allowed to leave the way Jonah did, with it being her choice and not something that was force upon her, I think fans would have been a bit more okay with it. But instead it was something that was forced upon her likely because the writers did to good a job at fleshing Sam out and her leaving Lara of her own free will, especially after all the two have done for one another, wouldn't fit her character. It would be like Spoke and McCoy betraying Kirk, it just doesn't work with the characters.

I do hope that Sam does return and that she and Lara and able to mend their relationship and move forward in life, together.

And as for them ending up with anyone other then each other I really don't want that. Personally I would rather them remain with each other be it as love interest or platonic life long partners but in terms of either of them ending up with someone other then each other I just don't think that would really work. But that's just me. :)
