What I LIKE about Cameron and Vala joining the show

[JDB]

I'm in the US so I won't see Unending till next week, but I do have one question about it. Do you know if the events that occur during time dilation thing will have a lasting effect on the characters, or is everything reset at the end?

Do you really want to be spoiled? If you can't wait, here is the answer.

Spoiler:

80% reset, 20% lasting effect.

Cool I'm glad they don't completely reset everything, because I hate it when scifi shows have all sorts of character development in an episode and then completely reset everything back to the way it was before.

Agreed they did it quite well but scifi isnt the only genre to do that. Ever see the horrible Roseanne finale?

"Dominion" was yet another great showing for the talents of Ben Browder and Claudia Black IMO. Both Vala and Mitchell were great in this one.

ITA 100% both characters shined in this ep. What I love about Vala is how complex she is. This ep showed us how clever and brave she is. Cam was soo good he is a good leader he didn't miss a thing.

ITA. Mitchell has really been impressing me with his leadership skills as as of late. I was kind of hesitant about him at first but he's been proving himself this season. I think the writers and BB are finally confident in Mitchell now. I really like his little moment with Vala, I really like how he cares about his team...always looking after them

CB was of course brilliant again. I always find that the episodes with Adria seem to be the ones that allow Vala to show the most complexity (maybe because it opposes her normal playfulness). I would have loved it if this episode had been broken up into two episodes (one that could have aired instead of FT), expanding on the stuff Vala goes through in the first 20 minutes. It could have ended with...

Spoiler:

...capturing Adria and finding out she's Ba'al. That way we would get more Ba'al as Adria and Vala angst. A win-win, I think.

Actually it's more like 83,33% reset, 16,67% lasting effect.
And I never thought I'd post here

Mitchell has definitely become a very capable leader of SG-1. He's come a long way since Season 9 IMO. He certainly cares about the members of his team, no doubt about that.

I do agree about Vala. The episodes involving Adria do bring out a little more complexity in her character.

As for "Dominion" being a two-parter, that would have been a great idea IMO as well. But "Family Ties" did serve a purpose too. With the show ending, it helped get in some more personal story-time for certain characters that otherwise never would have had any resolution.

[Rac80]

the laughs from Vala being so outrageous and Cam's references to his grandma. too darn funny.

That's true....and we got Sam/Vala moments that I had so desperately hoped for Plus, we got a rare and wonderful Landry/Vala moment as well. That's probably the best part of FT, the team factor...how everyone was protective of Vala. I guess I shouldn't dismiss what this episode brought to the table in that regard.

Yes those parts of FT saved it for me too. Teal'c was protective of her also. The only thing that irked me was the D&V scene but that's a subject for another thread.

Actually I loved that part, but that's for another thread. Dominion truly showed the best of this show and the characters IMO.
