As a canon writer, I know for me, it's tough. If I want to write anything set in Season 10, she's going to be there. I can't speak for other people, but I try to stick to the show without gushing into overwhleming love for any character. It annoys me no matter who. And it's annoying for me because while I no longer hate the character, I still don't feel she belongs on the show. I think the only reason why I don't hate her anymore is that they don't make Daniel into this man I want to throttle everytime they are in the same scene together. But even though I'm enjoying Daniel this year (I was on and off about him last year and the year before), I'm getting fed up that the writers can't seem to keep them apart. You want Daniel and Vala scenes, fine. But not all the time. It's like Sam and Jack all over again. I don't mind scenes with Sam and Jack, but I swear most of Season 7 was just the two of them together. I can't stand when writers do that.
I'm more annoyed though with people posting about Vala love. I know that is so evil of me. I'm all about people having their own opinions. We like what we like and that's it. And I'm trying very hard to keep that mentality when I see people disagree with me. We all have our own opinions. But I want to flip out and scream when people are gushing over Vala and CB. I think CB is fine a ctress, but how the heck did we go from fans liking the team and everyone else to just Vala exclusively? It hurts me and it shouldn't.
