I'm glad MS likes her. I'm sure CB's great but some people don't like her character. I'm sure the minority won't change a damn thing so the minority will have to decide if the show's worth watching with her on it.

Ratings are out on the front page now. SG-1 held steady, SGA and BSG both droped on tenth.Joseph Mallozzi -"In the meantime, I'm into season 5 of OZ (where the show takes an unfortunate hairpin turn into "the not so wonderful world of fantasy")"
^^^ Kinda sounds like seasons 9 and 10 of SG-1 to me. Thor, ya got Aspirin?
AGateFan has officially Gone Fishin (with Jack, Sam, Daniel, Teal'c) and is hoping Atlantis does not take that same hairpin turn.

(You'll see what I mean when they are posted)
Okay, now we know what the ratings are for The Ties that Bind---2.0 again. that's good. It is below the season 8 average of 2.1 for the second week in a row, but at least it is steady.
From what you wrote, I was expecting a significant increase from last week, but steady is good.
To stay on topic, I'm figuring TPTB, even before seeing the decent ratings, were planning to have Vala back every so often---that makes sense because she, like other good recurring characters, are important to the show.

That's nice. As we are talking about a "post Vala" situation here, do this week's ratings really apply?
The fans who aren't "Fargaters" have to hang in and watch if they want to know what is going on when Amanda Tapping's "Col. Carter" returns. The fans who are "Fargaters" might not stick around... but neither of those issues has played out yet.

Originally posted by the dancer of spazYeah... We all know how much MS and the crew are enjoying CB and this season. They've made that abundantly clear.
But, again, that doesn't have much to do with the Nielsen masses or the fans who go online.
Well, I think the ratings were announced today. 2.0 for SG1 and 1.9 for SGA and BSG, with this being BSG's lowest in the show's history. Good thing "someone" finally woke up.
Anyway, as for Vala and Farscape, Darth Buddha, I find her more of a combination of Rygel and Chiana. Sexy, thieving, greedy, in it for herself and possibly (possibly) having a heart somewhere under all that greed.
Needless to say, the sexy part belongs to Chiana ...puppet fetishes aside.
ETA: oops, never mind the ratings thing. Someone beat me to it.
And I guess only time will tell re: post Vala stuff. I think that the ratings will likely pop along about the same. Anyone who was only watching for Claudia will stop, everyone waiting for Sam to return will start.
An even swap.
DB, the "Fargaters" will stick around for Ben, who hasn't had a lot to do these past episodes. It's the smaller portion of the "FG" contingent, those watching soley for Claudia Black, who may stop watching but, really, I don't think that's going to make a whole lot of difference.
As a fan of Black's, I'd like to see it make a difference, but I doubt it will.
As for ratings and quality shows...I think we already had that debate back when Farscape was canceled.Last edited by esoap524; 08 August 2005, 04:25 PM.

It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

I don't think I jumped to any big conclusions. Daniel Jackson's a very popular character. Remember when MS wanted out in season five. Remember the major marketing campaign to bring him back. Remember season six. I'll go as far as saying he's the most popular character on the show.Last edited by JackDaniel41; 08 August 2005, 06:21 PM.

Originally posted by CrichtonIt's surprising to me that someone who liked Claudia Black in Farscape would not see the golden opportunity that she has with Vala. She finally gets to act like Rygel but with sex appeal!!
Also, the last episode completly shows that Vala is going to be perfect for her intended purpose...to be a recurring character that opens up new storylines...not a main character, but instead she'll be like Carter's Dad, or Braytak, or the Tokkra, or any other character that makes appearances every once in awhile but is also occupied with more than Earth's priority list.
Also, goddamm!!!! she was hot in the red lingerie!!!
Down Crichton, down!sigpic
I prefer to be called Sunny, Sun or SK. Thanks.

Originally posted by LidaI'm also one of those that hope that CB's character of Vala becomes a recurring guest, like Jacob/Selmak, used to be. One of the things that has kept SG-1 "fresh" all these years, is it's ability to laugh at itself, in addition to being serious and taking the moral high ground in many episodes. Vala has been a breath of fresh air and a much needed diversion, with the exit of our beloved RDA and the abscence of the wonderful AT.
CB is a fantastic actress and it is obvious, she has been enjoying the role of Vala, one so unlike Aeryn Sun, and I've been enjoying watching her. Has a little of the dialogue been over the top....yes, but over-all, I like the character and I'd like to continue to see her in the future. As for "ships", only the kind that fly, please.
Vala is a woman who knows what part of her to use to get what she wants. Aeryn didn't have a clue in that regards. LOL
CB has to be having a BLAST with this role!sigpic
