I can't seem to find a Vala/Tomin thread here. At the risk of being ostracized (or chained to Gateworld's stone bench for 3 days), can we have one? Over the hiatus, I was reticent to suggest this, because I honestly imagined he'd find himself at the wrong end of a zat blast of Daniel's in the season 10 premiere.
In CRUSADE, the relationship between Vala & Tomin intrigued me. They were so sweet together, and his adoration of her was clearly genuine.
Sure, at first, she used him & his love to help her survive in Ver Isca. But I believe she grew to honestly care for - if not love him - herself. She described him to SG-1 as "one of the gentlest, most honest souls I have ever known", and the memory of him standing before the mirror in his battle armor brought her to tears.
I do not believe she was merely "performing" to just get a reaction from them.
In this same ep, when he was aiming his weapon & vehemently yelling at her that he was "deaf to all but the teachings of Origin", I thought nothing would keep him from doing his duty (even destroying Vala for her deceit, if he ever found her out).
But in FLESH AND BLOOD,
I think they could have a lovely life together
(if it weren't for that inconvenient detail of the Ori complicating their lives).
I don't expect this to be a popular thread, but I think it belongs here. In fact, Vala & Tomin have had the only true relationship on SG-1 (that we have seen in awhile) that is not platonic.
What can I say? Tomin's grown on me, and I'm such a sucker for the angsty/ill-fated/tragic love stories. Especially, those stunningly performed by my favorite actress
