Personally?

I think that in a discussion about Vala on Stargate when someone brings up the previous misdeeds of any member of SG-1 in comparison to her actions, the debate is then forfeit just like that one rule about invoking Nazism.

Because it's just insane.

And one has nothing to do with the other.

It drives me bonkers. Love Vala all you want, but try to tell me she's anything at all like the others on the show, at least not what we've seen. And since we've already seen what we've seen, she can't ever BE accepted just like the others to some of us.

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

No, she's not like the others. I quit hoping for good episodes a long time ago. These days, I only hope for unboring ones. :) It makes narrations a lot more fun, and I got that more in season 9 than I did in the previous 2 seasons.

I wonder what would have happened if Vala had joined up in season 7 or 8?

I would have been gone a long time ago.

I know the writer's plans. It involves a "Jedi hand wave" and if that doesn't work, Plan B involves ignoring the issue and ignoring any fans who question it.

That would be the ultimate Lucas ripo-- I mean, "hommage" on the show then, wouldn't it? ;-)

[nialla]

They've been watching the DVDs again. ;)

It could be worse, they could get the idea to change canon completely, a la Lucas... um... I'd better not say anything else.

[captain-tiv.livejournal.com]

You mean they haven't changed canon already?

I'm not getting all my memos!

[nialla]

Oh, they've changed it, but not to the level of Lucas. I think few can aspire to those heights.

If they tried, we'd suddenly learn that Sam and Jack were married in season four, with a special pass from the President. It was an open secret for their friends, including General Hammond, but they kept it kept it under wraps so they could stay assigned to the same team and not jeopardize Earth's safety by not being together.

Here's a bar of soap, now wash your mouth out with it!

[nialla]

I'm just throwing out ideas... wish the writers would throw such ideas out the nearest window, but is wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

[khek.livejournal.com]

Yes! Quickly!

[kaleecat]

bwhahaaha I love your icon Nialla, sadly appropriate.

And do be quiet about the Jedi hand wave, the PTBs might somehow end up getting ideas that would be very bad. Granted most recent eps make it easier find cannon fodder for the breadbox eps.

The expression "shooting fish in a barrel" comes to mind. It's almost too easy to do, so it's not nearly as much fun.

[superbadgirl]

So, status quo then, eh?

They won't listen until people stop watching, and even then they won't figure out why people stopped watching. Sad.

LOL I'm pretty sure you're right about this.
