My opinions on Season 9 so far
Spoiler:
GOOD GOD, SOMEONE WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE!!!!! These writers are sucking the life out of Ben B. and Claudia B. and making me drop to my knees and beg for another Farscape movie so they can be released from Stargate Hell!!" I love Ben and I love Claudia, but these writers are so inept that they are giving them absolutely nothing to work with here!!. They continue to shove Claudia at Michael Shanks, who can't muster an ounce of chemistry with this beautiful and talented woman, mainly because I find him and his character Daniel so utterly boring, that I can't stand it anymore. I know that Daniel can only be attracted to "submissive women" and Sha're proves that point, because if it was any other way, he wouldn't have a problem with Vala, a woman with an actual backbone who can kick his speed talking behind!! The only good stuff I've seen in this season so far, has been when the writers have "allowed" Ben and Claudia to interact. They have tons of chemistry just by looking across the room at each other. The writers blew their chance at something great because they were so afraid that by putting Vala and Cameron together it would turn into 'Fargate'. They obviously have no faith in Ben and Claudias talents, like I do.
This season has proven to me, at least, that Michael Shanks cannot carry this show and Christopher Judge has had so little to do that Teal'c has become pointless. Daniel has definately ripped out my last nerve this season and much like I have to do with Sam and Jack, I'm forced to live for the little moments between Cameron and Vala. They are all that interests me about the show these days.
The one and only reason I am still hanging in there is Amanda Tapping. Amanda has brought so much to this show (especially with RDA, but alas, I can't wait for his return, just hope that he decides to make a few more appearances) and I know she will continue to do so, but I am just afraid that Sam Carter will be sacrificed at the sainted alter of Daniel Jackson upon her return. Why must the PTB continue to cater to Michael Shanks and Daniel when this is supposed to be a "team" show? Richard was definately "the star" of Stargate, but he never felt the need to put himself in that role, but instead made stars out of Amanda, Michael and Chris by playing his character of Jack as a member of a team. Michael S. or his character of Daniel do not have the ability to play the "lead" or should he be written that way. There should have been equal time given to all the characters that are now on the canvas, but there hasn't been.
They give Claudia alot of airtime, but then waste her talents by trying to make her character, the only lead female at present, into a sex kitten. Vala still could have had a sexy, sarcastic side and still been written as a strong and capable woman, and the only scenes they've given to her to portray that have been few and far between. Claudia got to show snippets of her talent during one scene in TTTB when she was explaining to Daniel how her life wasn't all peachy and how she had to fight her demons, and the writers automatically turned it into nothing but a joke she was trying to pull on Daniel. She also got to show some great emotions from Vala when she was being burned at the stake. If the writers had any common sense, they would have played these things up more, instead of turning it into another "humor" moment. I wish she'd stay around just to have scenes with Amanda/Sam , cause they could have some amazing moments, in the hands of a competant writer.
Ben has had little to do except the occasional flashback to give us insight into his character of Cameron, but again, instead of the writers letting Ben flesh out his own character, they write him as an RDA replacement and have some very similar lines coming out of his mouth. They'd do better letting Ben write his own stuff.
Christopher Judge. Is he even still on this show? Granted I don't want to see weeks on end of Jaffa driven stories, but they should at least give Teal'c something to do, besides follow Daniel around so he doesn't get hurt by falling debris. Actually I wouldn't mind seeing that LOL.
This whole season so far has been way to Daniel heavy and since I can hardly stand Daniel, it's not a good thing for me.
Amanda, any chance you can hurry up and get back? LOL. I'll try and hang in there. I live for that rumored phone call, sad as that is.
Okaye, I'm done screaming for the night. For all you Daniel/Shanks fans out there, this is only my opinion and if I have offended you in any way, well all I can say is remember my screen name and maybe not read any more of my posts LOL.
