Yeah, I hope that doesn't happen either. I personally hope she's giving them hell over there right now.

My reasoning goes something like this. A matter stream got through to the
Ori galaxy (making the assumption because otherwise it'd be a useless scene).
But it's just a matter stream, unless the massive stargate on the other side
rematerialized Vala (let's hope not, since it's probably in space), the matter
stream is intercepted by a ship of a race serving the Ori. They regenerate
Vala, but she had amnesia. She would never remember who she is if it weren't
for having been a host, due to what little genetic memory capability is left over.

To quote Cam "Shaft" Mitchell, "Now THAT's what I'm talking about!" Perfect blend of humor, teamwork and drama! This is my favorite episode of the season. Vala was toned down and enjoyable. I'm actually going to miss her. I hope to see her again either this season or the next. Loved the Goa'uld! The actor that played him is one of my favorite character actors! What a great surprise! I didn't know he was going to be on. Loved his "fanship" of SG-1. I'm enjoying how Jack is being kept alive in the series. However, I thought RDA was actually making a "vocal" appearance . Now, if PTB will only EXPLAIN where he is!!
SAM IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! Now, we can get to kicking some Orii backside!!
There were so many little points to savor! Well done, PTB! Looking forward to next week!!

great ep!
SAM'S BACK!!!
*everyone* had something to do in this ep!
*everyone* was spot on!
landry kicked butt. (((beau)))
the jaffa leader (can't remember his name) is an arrogant jerk. (rock on, lou!)
teal'c did things! he actually talked and did things!
and vala... i think i liked her in this ep more than any other.
i would have liked more interaction between sam and vala, but there's always another chance.
vala lovers, don't despair. vala will be back!
i thought vala gave up, though, much too soon in trying to get everyone to listen to her.
the ep had energy and i was very excited when they were fighting the prior on that planet. great special effects!
the ori are super intimidating villians. love that!
the goauld guy was great! i can't remember the actor's name, but he's always wonderful in his work.
but what got to me more than anything else was the sam was back. my fave character and actress. i think at this time (missing sam so much), sam could have stood there staring at a wall and drooling and i'd be jumping up and down.
the show finally felt like a stargate ep to me!!
(still miss jack/rda, though... )
bring on the next ep!

I thought this ep was great from start to finish. Suspenseful story (I'm still queasy over it), great effects, great character interaction. The Goa'uld was fantastically slimy and sure had me believing him.
Daniel looked so freakin' hot and once again had such presence throughout. He looked especially good in the space suite for some weird reason. He and Vala are so sparky together, every time he tells her to shut up I expect him to grab her and kiss the crap out of her, and I'm a J/D OTP'er!
It was so great that Vala had the out-of-the-box solution. I'm going to miss her very much.
Teal'c is starting to have a big role to play. Mitchell contributed a lot to the strategy and I loved his nuke-o-phobia. Sam stuck to the technobabble which was fine for a first time back. I cannot understand the tangled hair. It's just distracting.
I knew right away that the force field was feeding on the nuke. Seen too many similar plots elsewhere I guess.
The basketball scene was great but I had a hard time imagining Daniel being so competitive about it as to say "kick your @ss" . He doesn't strike me as the sports type. Maybe he's grown into after all those years hanging out with military types and watching hockey with Jack.
To me they are 6 for 6 with good episodes so far. The best record since S3 IMO.

For fracks sakes!
I just said that his layups were weak! The ball didn't go towards the hoop once! As a basketball player I have to say that whoever directed that scene did a bad job.
I didn't say anything negative about the actor or the character. Other than he couldn't do a layup.
I like Mitchell...even though it's basically watching Ben Browder on Stargate as opposed to an actual new character on the show. Still he's about as good of a replacement for RDA as you can get.
I like Browder and Mitchell for the record. The basketball scene didn't resemble the game at all to me. Like I said you shoot the ball towards the hooop, not behind your head so it lands next to Beau Bridges.

Here is Vala flying into her to disrupt the Singularity Field:
Vala "docked" with the Super Gate:
Here's the Super Gate trying to activate with the Singularity Field in the background:
Here's the Super Gate alone, note Vala is docked shorting out the connection:
Here goes the Singularity Field going nova:
Aww... there she goes I'm gonna miss this gate:

Noooooo. Must. Not. Kill. Vala.
*whew* So glad she's alive and safe. It means opportunity for future (and hopefully many) recurring appearances...again. If they had killed Vala...
Hee. Daniel's line about "We wanted to send them a message," might just be about the best of all the great Daniel-Vala (and even Mitchell) lines from these first six episodes. I think I've laughed more and harder during the beginning of this season than I have during most of the rest of the series. True, I thought Jack had funny moments, and there was often great banter between characters, but I think Daniel-Vala might just be about the best there is. Plus, I think the balance between the humor and the seriousness (and the intensity of the Ori) has been fabulous, and I've been loving the season as a result. And I think the whole bracelet thing has to be one of the best plot devices ever; it worked so wonderfully as an excuse to make Vala come on all the missions with Daniel.
(Hmm, Daniel passed out again; how many times has that happened now this season? )
Carter's return, I'll admit, was a lot less trumped up than I imagined it would be. I kind of groaned at the whole "we need someone who can think outside the box" because I'm so fearing the return of Super Sam, and I'd really like a Carter that can't save the day all the time in every way. I guess she really didn't this time; poor woman didn't even get to go to the planet with them.
However, I did get excited at the image of the four of them (Carter, Daniel, Teal'c and Mitchell) walking up the ramp and through the gate; I'm excited about this SG-1.
Yay, the return of Baal; this show gets better and better.
Did anyone else think the Goa'uld (forgot his name alread; Nerus?) was going to turn out to be an Ori? I guess maybe not, because I thought I read that we won't meet them until later in the season.Metroids are not pets
