Vala Mal Doran/Claudia Black WOW Thread

[Super Hive]

It took me a while to warm up to Vala as a character (I've only seen her from Season 9 onwards, so I don't know what she was like in Season ... 8? I believe she was in?). Her upbeat, plucky attitude was a bit refreshing, but also a bit annoying when the atmosphere isn't and she tries to throw in a few awkward innuendos because ... quirky!

I do think that she was criminally underused in Seasons 9 and 10 though. Her intro into Season 9 was terribly boring, and the fact she was shoved off to the side for the majority of the season was a bit pants. I would have liked to have seen more of her perspective with her relationship to Adria. It was never as complex as I would have liked it to have been, and Vala definitely did not deserve to have a Mystical Pregnancy forced onto her ... ugh.

But overall I really did enjoy her character. Although, if I were her I would have kicked Daniel straight in the nuts after what he said to her during Unending and left him to be sad and lonely.

Okay, so I'm new to this thread but I love Vala. Today I felt like playing around with a nice picture of Claudia and this is what I've got:





I think she has wonderful hair, and it's no coincidence that it looked like the hair stylist people had a lot of fun playing with it from pig-tails to spiral curls.

A little thread spamming in an effort to make sure folks aren't caught off guard this weekend

Heads up re the next Server Move:


Estimated downtime will be 3-4hrs between the 11th and 14th of October.
Changes to DNS settings will be nearly instantaneous for most of us, but propagation (ie reconnection to the new server address) may take hours,or as much as 24-48 hours to reach everyone, since it depends on your ISP.

If there are any changes to that schedule,or any other info,we'll try to let you all know in advance via the Ask the Mods thread ,this thread ,the Alphasite and/or GW Twitter.

Thanks in advance for your patience!

Feel free to pass the info around.
