So are you saying that people try to defend Vala's actions, saying she's okay and should be all accepted, by bringing up previous misdeeds of core SG-1? ::confused which obviously means I need more chocolate::
Yep. Some do.
Me, I find Vala entertaining and dynamic mostly due to the acting of Claudia Black. That doesn't absolve Vala of her crimes anymore than it would anyone else. She's done some pretty bad things that she's never had to pay for (yes, a comparison to other SG1 members could be inserted here).
Maybe it's human nature to say, "This person did that, oh, but by comparson so-and-so did this and wasn't punished for it?" I don't know. Normally, when I get pissed at a character, I'm pissed at that character for that reason regardless of what the other characters have done or what the consequences were.
Unfortunately, I think more comparisons will be heard. We've got another season coming.
