Stargate SG1 - Vala Officially Joins The Team (Season 10 Ep. 2)

[@ramkumarsridharan]

I wish we had another 5 seasons of SG-1... Vala's was a good intro to the series and provided some nice comic relief... not to mention Daniel and Vala chemistry...

[@KnightRaymund]

Agreed!

[@chrismartindale7840]

I don't know. The show sort of lost its charm after season 5.

[@pioneer_1148]

Agreed though I was never much of a fan of Mitchell. I always found him a bit flat and them randomly bringing him in to replace O'Neil rather than making Carter SG1's commander was just plain insulting.

[@GreenDragonReviews]

@@pioneer_1148 agreed a lot of people give vala's character flak, but i really didnt like mitchell's character he brought nothing really to the stargate team no x factor. that part could of been played by literally anyone and should of been the rookie on the team. Yes Carter not being made team leader was just stupid. but vala and daniel brought much much needed humor that they used to get with o neill and frankly vala had some really great character developement moments .

[@Utubesuperstar]

She had great moments with carter too

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

Her joining the team really refreshed the whole series for me. That Claudia Black was (and I'm certain still is) AMAZING. The humor was just perfect and as a bonus she's really good looking :D

[@milesvappa]

Vala and Mitchell both were a sorry attempt to replace Macgyver and 'guaranteed' an incoming fanbase from farscape. The Teal'c, Carter, and Jackson are what kept the SG1 fans to continue watching (even though macgyver sadly wasn't there he was still only a quarter of the team). Vala, whilst an entertaining character, could have never been introduced and the show really wouldn't have lost anything.

[@yoryteperman429]

​@@richardm3023 You are wrong, she was (still is) individual-looking, and certainly not your typical Barbie-doll, but she is not a butterface. When awhile back, I was in my twenties, an older & wiser friend explained to me that there were two kinds of attractive women out there: 1) the classically beautiful Barbie-dolls with 'static' beauty who looked their best not moving, because when they spoke or smiled, they became LESS attractive, more vulgar- think of a supermodel, which is why supermodels make abysmal actresses. 2) Then there are the not classically proportioned but still interesting-looking CHARISMATIC women who look their best while moving, smiling, talking... The second kind are not only rarer, as you never tire watching them, but, actually, for many men, are preferable. Claudia Black is the second kind - her nose is a little sharp, and her face is a little slim and austere , but she is fascinating to watch and I do not tire watching her. Besides, she is quick-witted and this above-average intelligence shines through her animated eyes - something that the "cow"-gazed Megan Fox cannot summon. Claudia is a great dramatic actress; It is just that her role in Farscape was written better, had better arc. Her SG1 role of ditzy Vala was written as ditzy, flippant comic relief, which is fun but also a little one-note, which is a shame... Cheers!

I never decided if I like him or not

[@mikahael1]

He did good on SGA when he was put in charge. Even went to bat for Shepard's team in a court room.

[@fla-bushcraftprepper941]

I know this is a response to a 1 year old post, but I would like to say that Woolzy was never meant to be a Star Gate regular. Robert Picardo was hired to do one episode, but the episode was truing out to need a part two. The writers liked the Doc he played on Star Trek and wanted Robert Picardo to play Woolzy, so Robert never had to read for the part as he had to do for Star Trek. It was just going to be a one off job and his character would not be back. It turned out the crew and writers all like him, because he could nail his lines and do hard to shoot scenes in one or very few takes. So now they wanted him to be a regular, but wold not let him know. They would bring him back from time to time to make his character less hated by fans. Every time he returned, they wrote it so he would advance the character to eventually be on the show. Robert Picardo did not know this at the time. In 2006, they called him and told him that they wanted his character to be full time and in charge. Robert said the character was not unlikable, but was hated. They said, "Let that be our problem.", and so Robert said Yes, to becoming full time on Star Gate. Robert said the stages of his character was that he was a Scumbag, then he came back and was a Scumbag and he knew people did not like him. Then he was a Scumbag that knew people did not like him and he realized he was a Scumbag. Then he became a Scumbag that people did not like and he knew he was a Scumbag, but also wished he was not a Scumbag.... or something like that. All this time, he did not know they wanted his character to be full time. It was not until the call in 2006 that they explained what they had been doing and made him the offer for his character to be in charge of Star Gate.

The first time a SG-1 "patch" appears clearly on Vala's shoulder is in the final scene of the 2-part cliffhanger... when she's beating up a keyboard because they lost Daniel to the Ori. 1) Strange to downplay adding her to the team. 2) Seams she's rather emotionally invested in Daniel...considering when she 1st arrived in the SGC a season and a half earlier, she didn't have an emotional attachment to anyone... just "what's in it for her" on steroids. That's alot of character development in a short time.

[@tyrannicpuppy]

@@varianschirmer9375 I think there was a sliver of a spark way back when they first met on the Prometheus. It's why she kept him aboard. She solved the interface without his help at every stage. Had she sent him to the Al'kesh, she'd have actually pulled off the heist. I think that sliver is why she contacted the SGC instead of sneaking onto Earth. A reason to see him again and get some treasure to boot. By the time the Quest rolls around, I think she truly has rather deep feelings for Daniel. But he's still not ready to reciprocate. He is also the one that despite his barby words at times, supports her the most out of everyone there. He wants her to succeed as much as she does. And then Unending rolls around and we see their life on fast forward and Daniel is able to admit he feels for her too. Not only did she have excellent character development throughout her time on the show, that one pairing in particular was allowed to shine in ways I don't think any other relationship ever managed in SG1. Sam's love interests were almost always awful (either personally or in how they play out). Jack's were just nobodies added in to add spice to the will they won't they with him and Carter they weren't allowed to actually follow through with thanks to the military rules thing. And Teal'c's were never more than momentary guest stars. Daniel and Vala are the only mains to have a proper relationship built on screen. He's also the only bloke she doesn't ask Teal'c if she slept with after the reset in Unending. Which was pretty telling too. Had we gotten the extra season, I really think that relationship would be prime timeline canon before the end.

[@rhas356]

Teal'c eventually picks up a senior NCO rank, so I imagine he's paid from that point. I imagine they probably would also find paying Vala less problematic than a bunch of nuisances caused with her nicking things. I've been generally more interested to know whether all stargate teams count as perpetually deployed and on hazard pay (even the SGC is a hazardous work place!), rather than the admin nightmare of them jumping in and out of deployment status a couple of times a week.

[@richardcarlson127]

As non-military members of the SGC Daniel, Jonas, Vala and Teal'c would likely be considered civilian employees and provided with a government salary based on a GS level. There would also be stipends for hazard pay etc. Obviously cover identities would have to be made for the aliens. Alternately they could be considered government contractors and paid according to their abilities and responsibilities which could be negotiated. While not holding a military rank they obviously have responsibilities and authority of military officers and are usually addressed as "Sir" or "Ma'am" by enlisted personnel.

Surely they figured all that out about nine years earlier when Teal'c first went on the books. And again with Jonas. By the time Vala joins, there'd be a premade form specifically for alien SGC members.

[@yoryteperman429]

Been re-watching SG1 9th and 10th season. I always found O'Neill's one-note cynical shtick in previous seasons too tedious, and I always thought that 9th and 10th seasons that brought "fresh blood" from Farscape ended being more lively and just better in terms of writing (though still not as good as Farscape). Besides, I find Ori story arc more intellectually AND philosophically fascinating than battling a bunch of parasite-infested and culturally stagnant descendants from ancient Egypt. Some ideas that were introduced were rather poignant - for example, Daniel's observation that almost every culture in human history used to worship fire until there was a paradigm shift - primarily due Judeo-Christian tradition, and fire worship became associated with the demonic, while water / liquid (including things like Baptism and anointment of kings with oils) became indicative of spiritual advancement - indeed a fascinating observation! This switch is rather easy to understand - fire stands for raw power - over animals, over circumstances (you can cook your food, etc.). Ancient Jews recognized that power alone does not suffice for Godliness, and every Jew knows that the first attribute of God is "Creator", and fire does not create anything; It is the water that creates (life). If a devout Muslim was watching SG1, they also would have though Ori demonic - jinn, composed of "smokeless fire"... What I also ponder- how much of this show and shows like this has infiltrated subconscious of simpletons that later manifested itself in various conspiracy theories about secret space fleets, alien contract that already happened, etc. Ideas are infectious - probably more than viruses, and it will suffice one idiot to plant a compelling idea that will tap into deeply held wishful thinking and could then grow into malignant nonsense that spreads like a bush fire - just think of QAnon nonsense. So many grown up people believe it, though, admittedly, most of them never went to college and lack proper education. There is also the aspect at grasping at every straw in the light of such supreme incompetence of Trump who - I think- everyone knows already - is not a good person, never was and never will be. Regardless, I like SG1, but I just wonder how much SG1 contributed to the rise of some stupid conspiracy theories.... Cheers!
