Notes[]
- Throughout most of the books, this character is named "Samara" and is referred to as that or as "Sam"
- Toward the end of Abaddon's Gate and again at the beginning of Nemesis Games, the book starts referring to this character as "Samantha"
- The television adaption lists the character as either "Samantha" or "Sam". The TV show has not referred to the character ever as "Samara" yet.
- It appears some of the aspects Sam's relationship with Naomi were transferred to Drummer in the TV series. Since Sam's TV show equivalent appears only briefly and Drummer has a close relationship with Naomi.
- Sam from the books traded her red hair for black in the leap to the screen.
