Hmmm interesting take on the scene between Vala and Daniel. Vala's treatment of Daniel had been really cavalier. She knew all the buttons to push and she pushed them quite frequently. She teased him all the time, and mostly never seemed to be serious with him. But he clearly had feelings for her quite early on. The compassion he showed when he saw her burned body was quite deep. So I saw a man at the end of his tether, who couldn't take anymore and was saying everything he could think of that would end his torment - her taking his feelings and emotions lightly and using them as little playthings. That it was all a forced and very thin facade was obvious as soon as she made it clear that she wasn't taking his feelings lightly and she wasn't simply using them as little playthings. It was a facade that he discarded without a second thought and without any sort of 'but hey what about all those games she's played with me over the last year'. As soon as he knew that her feelings for him were genuine he dropped all pretense. That is why people saw the scene as romantic.
Suse - Mitchell I liked, and I could watch Ben Browder play him quite happily. I could never accept him as leader of the team though because that would always be Sam for me. I know they had some sort of joint leadership thingie going on, but that didn't work for me. Sam was the boss, in my universe anyway I totally agree about Tomin. Wasn't he a brilliant character? The actor did a great job. He was definitely a highlight of the season, and another reason why I liked S10 more than S8 or S7.
