I haven't read all the previous posts, but one of my questions that didn't get addressed in the episode (as far as I recall) is how did Vala get her hands on the Kull warrior armor in the first place? Did she just find one of those warriors laying dead somewhere and take his armor?????
While this episode was really humorous, I find a lot of it just plain illogical. Even a Kull warrior would not have been likely to be able to take over an entire ship the size of the Prometheus and disable its entire crew and transport them to the alkesh. Did Vala somehow manage to trap each crew member, disable them and them put them in the transport rings without a fire fight or struggle of any kind?
And given that Vala had never seen a ship like the Prometheus before, how is she almost immediately able to figure out how to run the whole ship by herself. Sure she was able to fly smaller ships, but how does that translate to being able to do the same with the Prometheus? (Things like this never get explained in the series ... which I find a bit disappointing.)
My very favorite part of the episode, though, was the one where Reynolds was confronted with possibly having to give Hammond mouth-to-mouth. Priceless moment. Love his line "Good job waking up, sir" (and patting Hammond's face), and as an afterthought "and good job retrieving the crystals". Cracks me up every time I watch this episode.
And I noticed the cute little moment or two with Reynolds and Novak. He politely offered to help her get up on the alkesh, and was very quick to give her credit for figuring out technical stuff.
Enjoyed the episode, but more for Hammond and the secondary character moments than for Daniel and Vala.
