Does anyone get the feeling the ratings will continue to slide in s10 just like they did in S9
but don't worry the PTB will be having fun...with Vala

Unless a miracle occurs and TPTB actually start writing decent episodes where Sam, Daniel, Teal'c and Jack have something to do besides act as sidekicks and backgrounds for Cameron and Vala, I think that the ratings will continue to slide. There may be brief high points for RDA's episodes, but the average will be even lower.Originally posted by Mandysg1Does anyone get the feeling the ratings will continue to slide in s10 just like they did in S9

TPTB should enjoy their fun with Vala while it lasts. If they keep it up, Season Ten will be their last season.

maybe that's what they want????
to kill the show
they do literally seem so busy having 'fun' with vala that they're forgetting that the other characters even exist.
putting all one's eggs in one's basket always leads to one having nothing left when said basket tips over
they seem to be banking the whole season on one character and one plot arc...to the exclusion of anything and everything else
great if you're a fan of said character and said plot arc. However, going by the reported reaction to the Ori, most are not...and even less are such fans of vala that they will tolerate the near total focus on her
they're gonna valaify the show to death
but you know, it'll all be our fault because we are just incapable of appreciating the the wonder that is valaComment

Maybe they are doing an homage to 'The Producers', only offscreen this time.Originally posted by Skydiver

Though 'Springtime For Hitler' was funny in a weird way, and 'Springtime for Cammie' was just crap.

Yeah, I think the problem this season( and perhaps most seasons ) among the fans, is that everyone seems to have a need to put tags and labels on one another.Originally posted by RealmOfXHey! Watch it with the Farscape fans tag
, some of us can actually discriminate between the actors and the characters. There are some weird ones out there though, I know I've gotten some rather harsh PM's about some of my Mitchell posts.
I haven't posted much on Vala because I'm reserving judgement until S10, I wasn't impressed (that's the polite version) with the first 6 eps but there is potential there if they drop the high camp. It really depends what they decide to write though. I'm sure if I posted my initial thoughts on Vala I'd be haunted by a certain Vala fan (or should I say CB fan?) too.
It reminds me a lot of Stark on Farscape.
Your side... my side... your side... my side.
It really bothers me that people just assume that if I make a negative comment regarding Vala or Mitchell that I naturally hate Claudia and Ben. That's so not the case.
I've been a Stargate fan for nearly a decade now and while I don't necessarily appreciate the new characters of Mitchell and Vala as much as some, I wouldn't have made myself sit down and watch four years worth of Farscape episodes in the past few months if I hated the actors who portrayed the characters. I really wish people would just stop assuming that because I actually like Sam that I automatically hate Daniel or that I want to see Ben and Claudia fired.
I think it's great that Ben and Claudia have brought new fans to the show. I think by them joining the cast they have probably helped both shows in the long run as there is probably a large group of Stargate fans who may have started to watch Farscape since they join the cast and I'm sure many FS fans have begun to watch past episodes of Stargate for the same reason.
The only Farscapes fans I've had a real issue with are the ones that constantly praise how wonderful season nine was and in the same breathe put down the other eight seasons as boring and unwatchable. I know I shoudn't allow it to bother me, but hearing them praise the addition of Ben/Claudia as the saving grace to the show really irks me. I just find it to be extremely rude and disrespectful to the other members of the cast. Stargate actually had better ratings in S8 than in S9, so how can anyone see this a saving the show?
To me it's a bit like tossing a life preserver into a pool with an Olympic swimmer just as they are crossing the finish line and shouting 'Did you see that? I've saved this man's life!' People would look at you as if you were an idiot, because it would be obvious that he was never in need of being saved.
As for the Sony board and other boards like it... I really think they are an embarrassment more than anything. To think that Sony would allow this sort of behavior to continue just flabbergast me. This is suppose to be the official site for Stargate, isn't it? How truly sad, but to each his own I suppose. I say let the haters have their place. One just adds fuel to the fire by getting involved. I seriously doubt we will change anyone's opinion, just as none of them will change ours, so why bother trying?
Hopefully the Sam fans on these boards will find their way to other forums where they will be more accepted.

Personally, I don't see any of the actors as the star of the show. RDA got top billing because he was obviously the named actor. He had a hit television show on a major network for seven years and he was an executive producer of the show. That in my mind gave him the right to have top billing; however, I do not feel this is the case any longer.Originally posted by Ronja
Yes, Daniel was/is one of the original characters of the movie, but when MS left in season six it also proved that the show can exist without Daniel just as the ratings proved at the beginning of season nine that the show can exist without Amanda( though not for me ) and to give that top billing to Ben or Claudia just feels wrong to me.
Honestly, I think the best thing the producers could do next season would be to finally treat the cast as a true ensemble cast by placing them in alphabetical order with one clip of each actor and a lot more team shots in the opening credits, because in my mind none of the actors are any more deserving of the top billing spot than the others.
Staring in alphabetical order ...

Beau Bridges

But alphabetical order would be okay, as long as nobody got any special emphasis.

Isn't there enough criminal activity in the world already without dragging a cop away from fighting it to dance attendance on one amnesiac
