      Sorry about that - I couldn't think of any better short way to phrase it.

      A recurring foil is a minor antagonist. Somebody who may not technically be a bad guy, and may even be a good guy, but their relationships with the protagonists are at least somewhat antagonistic.

      Somebody who frustrates one or more of the main characters. Either "frustrates" them emotionally, or "frustrates" them by getting in the way of them accomplishing their goal.

      It could also mean somebody who helps with character development by providing a point of contention. (Like that probably makes any sense to anybody besides me. Help!)

      HTH...

        Vala, no question.

        Usually I'd go Felger/Coombs. But they're not an option.

            It took so long for Maybourne to grow on me, though.

                They are such great characters. It is a toss up between Vala or Mayborne for me.

                  I have to agree with ShippyChick, and for me the whole long time thing counted against Maybourne.

                  I don't think I actually liked Maybourne til Season 8!

                      One-time bump for those who only log on during the week...

                      I voted Vala, btw. She just has a certain joie de vivre (sp?) that's been missing from the show since, oh, S4. And you truly cannot ask for a more perfect foil for Daniel - she's like the perfect complement to his character. Her advances when she's really an (un?)welcome reminder of everybody he's ever cared for or been involved with before, and watching him try to deal with that - it's just hilarious. Her moral blind spots highlight his innate integrity and gives them something to argue about, but her evidence of a good heart keeps Daniel from just throwing his hands in the air and giving up(which would have made things a lot easier for him, if he could do that). And they're both so stubborn, so neither of them is going to give in anytime soon.

                      So they just keep... dancing... and I haven't had this much fun watching this show since... Window of Opportunity, I think.

                        I grew tired of Maybourne, especially as he essentially became a "good guy" in IGTBK. I voted for the evil Kinsey instead. Although I liked Simmons a lot and wished we had seen more of him.

                          I never really liked Maybourne that much. He was okay, but never great. I love Vala and everything, but being a big fan of the Replicators, I naturally go towards Fifth.

                          Especially when he turned evil. Yay for evil

                              I agree with you Seshat. I voted for Kinsey as well.
