[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 140033, member: 27"] I think antics like that "passport photo shoot" are what he gets up to when he is in limbo. Sam, who grew up in grinding poverty and uncertainty, would obviously be reluctant to return to a similar situation, even if he is only visiting and is a 'have' rather than a 'have not' now. The photo shoot nonsense looked like his "palate cleanser," something to shake off the unhappiness that may have been dredged up when/if he saw people in Paraguay living like he did in Venezuela. Yes, it was self-indulgent and wasteful, but it looks as if the Carringtons don't care about his extravagances. But yes, it does irritate me that Sam does not exhibit any kind of career ambitions. He spends all that money frivolously and makes no effort to appear as if he's pulling his weight around there. I can't stand a mooch. His brief (but productive) turn as Fallon's assistant was an attempt at giving him a job, but that went nowhere. The whole "living off the Carringtons" thing was charming for a while, but it's wearing thin now that he is one of them. [/QUOTE]
