    "All of our SG-1 writers have great senses of humour, so it's easier to write for a character like Vala [Claudia Black], for example, or the natural relationship she has with Daniel..."
    - Christopher Judge

    "Daniel has been prodding Vala this year to come to terms with any real emotions she may have...If you stop and think about it, Daniel really is her one true friend in the universe."
    - Claudia Black

    AND HERE'S THAT UNENDING SPOILER, FINALLY SOURCED IT!
    Spoiler:

    "So I've had some wonderful arcs to play this year. Along the way I've learnt some really important lessons as an actor. I said before that I've tried to be true to my character and not just go for the cheap laugh. However, it's so much a part of Vala's external facade to be playful with people, which I can get away with sometimes in my performance, but they key is finding the motivation for it. That's why I think, psychologically, Daniel Jackson offers an interesting window into Vala because he's always calling her on things, especially in this last episode where Daniel really gives her a piece of his mind. So he's been helping Vala grow as a person, and her daughter Adria has been a big component in that as well. It's quite clear Vala isn't used to dealing with things if there's anyone else around. She'd rather suppress her emotions and carry on, but now she's forced to develop coping mechanisms that allow her to be more adult and learn that it's OK to be honest and talk about how you feel."
    - Claudia Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh so glad I finally found where that's from!


    And another Unending spoiler from CB...
    Spoiler:

    They're clearly not stuck on the ship 100% of the time, unless the Odyssey's gotten a holodeck

    "There was a funny aspect to shooting on location in that our characters were supposed to be stuck in a time dilation field where nothing moved but of course, it was the one day of the year that the weather changed four times and the leaves kept falling off the trees..."


    *does happy dance*
    *does happy dance with Kales*

    LOVE these spoilers, thanks for sharing. I especially like that CJ and AT mention Daniel/Vala's relationship, and it's importance See, it's not just in our heads!!

    Interesting spoilers about "Unending." Haven't heard anything about that last one before.

    The way CB talks about Vala's scenes with Daniel in "Unending," it doesn't seem like a negative thing. It sounds more like he doesn't let her just rest on her laurels...which is why he's been (usually) so good for Vala's character. He really has helped her grow and mature. He doesn't take her excuses and BS...and he doesn't let her joke her way out of things. That's one of the reasons why I really enjoy their dynamic. He makes her deal with her issues while she ignites a spark in him. He comes alive when he's around her.

    Yay! Happy now

    Aw...everyone is leaving us...or will be It'll be slow around here without you guys. Without you, it'll probably just be Kales and I rambling back and forth about random stuff Although, with the US season starting in April, maybe all of these missing shippers will begin to reappear

    *sigh*What am I going to do without my weekly dose of Daniel/Vala? I'm so excited about these last two episodes....but I don't want it to end!!! Two DVDs a year are not enough! We may get a scene or two, but nothing as good as we get during the span of a season. Ah! If only I hadn't given up and turned my back on SGA (although, I'd argue that they turned their back on me and all of the other fans first). Now what am I supposed to obsess over?!

      OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Kales, now (if possible) I'm even more excited about these episodes then ever before. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I can't believe Claudia said that. Now we have Michal and Claudia saying great stuff about Unending, I'm just hoping that when they say...


      Spoiler:

      he gives her a peice of his mind, that its a good thing. Like I hope its positive, or has a good ending. And I'm really begging them for the kiss now. If Amanda and Chris both say that too, wow!


      I just can't wait. So excited.

      And don't worry, I'll still post like crazy whenever I can. Still got a lot of stuff to move yet, so that means I'll be back around internet very often, he he. On the plus side, the park behind our new place has SWINGS!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I love swings.

      And you 2 can handle things. At least I'll have more spare time for vids and fics and what not, so every time I do post I'll hopefully have something good.

      Spoiler:
      Thanks Stef for the great banners!!

        Glad I could make you happy, and it's most definitely not in our heads! Calling it a night, guys, it's almost 2am over here. See you tomorrow!

          Okay, so I just thought these were funny.


          Why is she holding this? Is she going off to fight Darth Vader?


          It's funny how they look NOTHING like CB and MS. Vala looks kind of man-ish in this second picture

          Just thought I'd share.

                Ooo...thank you, thank you for making me feel so much better,lol...next time I get all cynical and pessimistic just tell me to shut the hell up,lol.
                So the way I'm hearing the sarcasm in the office conversation being intrepretated as being Daniel saying 'like you haven't slid back into your old ways and not been given a second chance'...is that right?
                Okay, works for me...and I do have to admit that except for that usual look of disgust on his face when she picks the lock I do recall the rest of the scene in the apartment as being okay.
                Thanks so much for the article excerpts Kales...I had read them before as a link off of CB's thread but that was so long ago I had no idea how to find the link again. I believe tho the comment about the trees is referring to the scene in Quest I, where they are going thru the time dilation field and Vala makes a comment about why are the tree leaves moving and someone(I think Sam)says it's probably been done by Morgan to make the area look normal.
                I've been wondering if perhaps
                Spoiler:
                Dominion and Unending are linked in so far as they are on the ship to get where they need to go in Dominion and on the way back to Earth are caught in the time dilation field. So maybe the whole 'piece of his mind' thing has to do with Vala just sloughing off whatever has just happened with Adria.

                Now could someone explain to me the properties of a time dilation field because I'm really confused.
                In Quest I, the time dilation field makes everything slow down in relation to real time....In Unending time in the time dilation field will have to speed up so that the team lives thru 50 years faster than normal...that's how it should work right?...'cuz if the field in Uending works like the one in Quest I, then by the time they get out of the field, something like 100 years will have passed in real time

                  That's a nice thought, LC...
                  Spoiler:
                  ...if they are on their way back from "dealing with" Adria, then Daniel might get frustrated that she's holding back and calls her on it. I wouldn't mind that. I kind of wish that there had been some more discussion about Adria in "Counterstrike." Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the scene on The Odyssey, but we never really got to see Vala open up and discuss what happened to Adria. She kind of touched on what she was feeling, but she also held back a lot. It would be nice if we get to see her open up in "Unending" and then they make sweet, sweet love I can hope


                  As for the time dilation thing....I am by no means an expert...but I'd just assume that a time dilation field means that the time within the field is different somehow from the time outside the field. If that's the case, then time within the field could pass slower or faster than regular time. So, in this case, maybe it passes quicker. Just my interpretation....although I could be completely off on this.

                    About Unending, and to go along with something you were saying Stef...

                    Spoiler:
                    If they don't make sweet sweet love in the last ep, there is always the movies to look forward to. Hey those can be not rated right??

                      well I doubt we're gonna see any...um...actual physical interaction beyond maybe an embrace like MM and of course that kiss.

                      yeah, I looked up 'dilation' in dictionary, just means something getting wider...so I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it's explained.

                            Meh, I'm gonna keep the hope. Out of curiosity, has SG-1 ever shown a sex scene? Don't get me wrong, I'm not clamoring for soft-core porn here just enough to let us know they um....physically expressed their love and admiration for one another
                            Spoiler:
                            It'll have been 50 years! You telling me that they'll all go 50 years without getting any? That's just plain unrealistic! They're human beings, they have needs! Although, I doubt they'd have proper protection....


                            I have a smutty mind, I know. Can't help it. Sorry

                              They came pretty close a couple of times...Jack in Season 1, Brief Candle and Sam/Pete in Chimera. I think that is about it.

                              Okay, not that I knew that off the top of my head or anything *sinks into chair* LOL

                              I live my life in the gutter so I am always thinking this way...hehehe I think I said it before..

                                I think the closest was Sam/Pete in Chimera. I'd be quite happy seeing Daniel and Vala in the same circumstances...the lead up to and then the next morning or whatever time of day etc. I'd also be happy for 'Continuum' to simply see them sharing the same bed...you know one of them pushing the other out of bed because they have briefing etc...that would be fine. And if there are further DVDs that CB didn't want to/or couldn't take part in then I'd just be happy with Vala being mentioned and Daniel never being paired with anyone again....maybe even letting him wear his own wedding ring,lol
