    [QUOTE=Skydiver] as much as i dislike the character i feel for the actress.



    I know exactly how you feel because that is how i feel about Ben Browder. He's such a great actor and I can't help but feel sorry for him that he seems to have been given some huge shoes to fill. I don't really think its very fair on him sometimes, hes not RDA but at the same time, he's still great. The problem came when they only introduced him once RDA had gone, and he's filling the same 'character' position at the base.

          I really enjoy Claudia as an actress. And I REALLY hate Vala as a character. I am very conflicted because I am happy for the real person and miserable to think that I have to be subjected to more space bimbo for a full season. PLEASE let them tone her down. And I don't mean adding a 'heart of gold', eeewwww.

          This is really it, isn't it? This has got to be the end when they pull out T&A to keep the once interesting show afloat for one last season. I feel so sorry for the actors, really.

            ok well now its official that Vala is back as a full time member..hm

            its good to hear the main cast will be back though

            does this mean Vala will become the 5th member of SG-1? Or that because Amanda is doing Atlantis crossover, that Vala will replace Sam on the SG-1 team?

              CB as regular? Well colour me surprised.
              Funny, when BB joined we were told we were wrong to treat it as Fargate. How long do we have to wait? Until the puppets become regulars?

              I do hope for BB and CB's sake they get more control over their characters. BB is coming across a little as if he considers it just a job, and CB has openly said she couldn't play Vala that over the top full time.


              From a personal point of view - Oh yes, game on!

              Therefore it obviously makes since for SG-1 to change in S9-10 to try to get demographic B. They are obviously the demographic you want for a long running successfull show. They have sooo much staying power. I have no clue how they could have missed this. They should have changed the format years ago.. But then we wouldnt be hear having this wonderfully fun conversation.
              I have to say I wonder if SGA isn't already suffering from this short termism. They did start it with the pretty girl in not much clothing, and with equally little character. It seems given the complaints I've read (haven't been watching S2) that character development is going out the window for all but one or two characters.

              Is SGA going to last beyond the 3-4 years demographic B gives?
              Is SG-1 now going to last beyond the 1-3 extra years demographic B gives?
              Does anyone care?

                      oh ok, thx nem


                      Well if CB is becoming a 'full-time' cast member, I would have thought she'd end up being like a female Teal'c. Another alien on SG-1, why? That's Teal'c's job! He's the one that comes out with the strange remarks and odd comments. Jack used to be the one ieht the witty and sarcastic remarks. Maybe they are trying to make an RDA and Teal'c all rolled into a female to be present when AT is busy on Atlantis (Wild speculation only btw!!! Don't hurt me!)

                        wild speculation is all good, its fun to be pessimistic and cynical

                        the only problem I see is nobody can bring to the team what Sam did. shes the clever one, the strategic thinker but as shown in episodes like unnatural selection, she is still very much a human being which I love.
                        Jack can sometimes be too military, Daniel can have really high moral standards, Sam...shes just perfect, and having Vala replace her is, in my mind, unthinkable

                        like ive said many many times now, sure Sam will be there in S10, but the question is for how many episodes because if shes missing for anymore than 6, then i dont think itd feel like she was part of the team anymore, and considering we lost Jack, I dont think losing Sam would be a wise move.
                        however saying that, TPTB have a tendancy to do stupid things like not listening to the more loyal side of their fanbase, and just try to please all the new farscapers

                        I think RCC should just have his way and rename the show Stargate Command...At least theres someone part of TPTB that has half a brain

                          Yes this is really it. Farscape...er I mean Stargate is firmly on the path to cancellation. If we are lucky, very lucky, very very lucky the final season may not be as pathetic as the final season of Xfiles and Farscape or as irrelavent as the final season of B5. But I doubt it.

                          *feel so hopless* Crpy news for the holidays.

                            time for a petition? mass letter writing to TPTB?

                            I dunno, but I think we *need* to do something to let them know that there are still old school gaters around who want the show to return to its former glory. i mean I wouldnt even mind if it wasnt that good ever again, I just want to know that theyd at least try to make it worthwhile and not continue down this fargate path

                            what i dont want to happen is for the show to crash and burn because SG-1 is probably the most successful and original scifi ever. it would be an insult to have such a brilliant show end on such a low, so I think its our responsibility as gate fans to let them know that we're still here, and that we still want to watch the show but not if its going to change so drastically that it doesnt become SG-1 anymore

                              There is nothing to be done. I just hope that with the new "adult" (read neo-xrated) flavor of SG-1 they move it to 9 and move Atlantis to 8 so that I can get done watching scifi by 9 and get onto other things. But then they will likely screw that show too so I guess I can stop watching scifi altogther.

                              My watch is back on for the next great scifi show. One thing for sure, every show I like that ends up on scifi channel is ultimatly scrwed so I hope the next show I fall in love with doesnt end up on this crp of a channel.

                              Hope you fargaters enjoy your show for the season it will be on.

                                I'm gutted by this news....IMO this is the death of SG1. I've nothing against CB, but honestly can't see the show carrying on. I'm really gutted because S2 of SGA has done nothing for me, in fact I can't watch it anymore it drives me mad. I wasn't really too bothered since there was still SG1...at least I've got BSG.

                                This is really sad news....
