Vala and Sam go well together
So do Vala and Daniel

Could have done without the whole Dad thing though. Either of them.

Lol The Last Scene Was Hilarious!

Darn! That's so evil. I was coming here to finally read up on what Joe&Paul meant with their comments...

"The final scene may surprise some viewers, but only if the network leaves it in. I don't want to oversell it, but it is perhaps the greatest final scene in the history of Stargate." — Paul Mullie, TV Zone Special #74, January 2007.

Concerning the final scene: "Can’t say much about the scene in question. Suffice it to say, the episode has a few “topical references”. When I wrote the scene, I assumed someone would insist I lose it. As it turned out, nobody objected (because, I suspect, they were too busy to notice and figured someone else would get around to objecting for them). Can’t say more." — Joseph Mallozzi, Personal Blog, January 21, 2007.

...but it has already been suggested in another thread that one should find out for himself what's so funny about this.

Now I have to avoid this forum for the night to get the max deal out of this scene.

Goodnight.

Definately not the best episode. The plot was thin and dull at best. But, I loved Vala's backstory. Can't help but think it was her father who made her turn out like she was. It's a twisted comparrison, but like those kids who get abused and end up turning into murders, it reminded me of that in a way.

This episode really highlighted just how Vala had changed, and what she'd done through. It was nice seeing her relationship with Sam continue onwards. Ever since that hug in The Path/Road(?) Not Taken, I've been wanting to see more from them.

And that ending. OMG. That might be the funniest SG moment.

That was quite possibly the worst episode of Stargate I've ever seen, ever.

- Boring
- Dull
- Stupid
- Cr@p script
- Jason or whatever his name was was more annoying than Lucius off Atlantis if that's possible.
- Horrible acting
- Landry B storyline was laughable
- A waste of an episode
- Boring

Worst episode of SG-1 ever.

Not funny, not fun and a complete waste. There's 2 more episodes left after this and we're subjected to this<mod snip>. Unending sounds pretty bad as well unfortunately.

Completely lost faith in these writers.

The only Season 10 episodes that were good have been the Orii one. ALL of the other ones have just been complete. rubbish.

0/10.

Awful.

[IWKYZerocool]

I thought this episode was funny. But must admit that Vala's Dad is worst the Luicus.

[Team SG-1*save the show*]

this ep was more funny than anything else but we saw development of several characters. teal'c at the end- who would have thought lol

[nerus]

What is with the ending with Vala's dad tricking the dealer within those packing things?

And you've now said that three times. We get it!

[Admiral Mappalazarou]

The episode was quite poor quality overall with some good comedy scenes. The ending was one of the best endings in stargate history though.

[SG18]

not the best ep 3/10

poor teal'c

[BJX]

I really liked this episode. It was a lot of fun. Fred Willard was great, and it gave Vala the chance to really come full circle, to face her past and once and for all and move on.

It also brought closure to the Landry/Dr. Lam relationship which was nice.

And yes that last scene was absolutely hilarious. Maybe the funniest scene in Stargate history and it was nice to see Joe and Paul taking a shot at the Sci-Fi network.

This was a light, character driven episode with a lot of fun moments, and unlike the previous two light hearted episodes, Bounty and Bad Guys, this one hit the right tone despite the fact that story wise it was far lighter then those two.

8/10
