RATING: PG / Older Kids
SEASON/SPOILERS: up to Continuum
ARCHIVE: permission granted; drop me a URL if you actually archive it so I can link to it
GENRE: drabble
WORD COUNT: 100
DISCLAIMER: I'm kinda pissed off at Cooper & Wright at the moment, so MGM & Sony can take their intellectual property rights and blow me.
SUMMARY/SYNOPSIS/PREMISE: A drabble explaining why Vala won't be in the 3rd Stargate movie. Inspired by eryndil's wager-trope story "Laying Odds".
. . .
My darling Daniel,
By the time you read this, you'll have noticed that I've left without any boring goodbyes or renewal of my SG-1 contract.
Enclosed herewith please find 3 anonymous winnings vouchers from Walter's betting pool:
$1652 "Jackson & Vala never do it"
$924 "O'Neill returns and she leaves"
$590 "Jackson acts like nothing's changed"
Please forgive me for hedging the top 3 bets with cash advances against your credit card, but it's a lovely scheme I learnt from the financial institutions of your silly planet.
Ever your Vala
PS: Hope you enjoy having been punked for four years.
[end]

Date: 2009-09-03 06:01 am (UTC)Yeah, I'm so wrecked that I wanna start a "Cast Vala in the 3rd SG-1 Movie" campaign.
Understandably, Wright wants to feature Richard Dean Anderson -- it's only fair; RDA helped build the franchise. But it also seems endemic of Writer Flail: "We don't know what lines to give Vala since she gets the sarcasm when Jack's not around."
I mean, come on: Jack and Vala going head-to-head in a snark-off? How much win would that be? And Daniel getting caught in the middle while Sam gives Jack the Doe-Eyes of Death, Teal'c nods in amusement, and Mitchell winces in a mixture of fanboi awe and fear? (Not to mention the threesome possibilities it would inspire for fanfic writers.)
I've also read that it might try to tie-in threads from Stargate Universe, to give that series a boost. But still... Claudia Black's acting skills are immense, and not including her is total FAIL.

Date: 2009-09-04 04:40 pm (UTC)I keep anticipating that the 3rd movie will have lots of Jack, lots of fighter jets, lots of explosions, a Supergate, Ancient genes, and Jack & Daniel tossing the Ring into Mount Doom and declaring their undying fellowship. Not that that's bad -- cuz I like slash, too.
But maybe the character arcs of Sam, Teal'c, and Cam will advance enough to make me OK with a casual Vala write-off such as "How's the leg Vala broke on your skiing honeymoon in Aspen, Daniel?"

And Daniel getting caught in the middle while Sam gives Jack the Doe-Eyes of Death, Teal'c nods in amusement, and Mitchell winces in a mixture of fanboi awe and fear?
Indeed!
What the frell is wrong with these people???

Date: 2009-09-04 04:50 pm (UTC)Maybe he can't wrap his head around how she expands the fellowship paradigm beyond being only a "love interest" for Daniel. She's much, much more than a Jump the Shark device.

Date: 2009-09-04 07:39 pm (UTC)2. There are definitely parallels between Monica/Vala and their character usage. Sad, really.
I love the character of Vala, which probably partly stems from the fact that I love Claudia Black. I found Vala quirky and refreshing and entertaining, but I can see why some fans did not like her. Her silliness, I think that word works well enough, was often over-written (that ridiculous blowdryer bit in The Quest) and while one might wonder if the intention had been that her character used her behavior to hide behind, it was not developed or explained properly. Imho.

Date: 2009-09-04 08:31 pm (UTC)The character arc the writers gave Vala (ass-kicking space pirate to silly sex kitten) was kinda unexpected, as though they were afraid of making her too strong or too capable. She had to hold her own as a member of SG-1, with a team who had saved the galaxy multiple times, and I guess she acted silly in order to get other to underestimate her. ? Why, I'm not sure yet. I actually haven't seen/read all the transcripts of Seasons 9 & 10, and am waiting for my b-day in a few weeks to get the complete series on DVD.

Date: 2009-09-04 04:55 pm (UTC)If it weren't for Claudia, I wouldn't have joined the fandom. I love how she brings more yin to the yang. SG-1 was too testosterone-heavy for me in its early seasons.

Date: 2009-09-04 07:41 pm (UTC)Me too! I still havent seen much of earlier seasons.
(no subject)
Date: 2009-09-07 07:37 pm (UTC)Great drabble. I could kick whoever decided that it would be OK to leave Vala out of the next movie.

Date: 2011-02-02 05:58 pm (UTC)The way MGM's looking now, we'll be lucky if there's another James Bond movie.

Date: 2009-09-08 06:34 am (UTC)"Yeah, I'm so wrecked that I wanna start a "Cast Vala in the 3rd SG-1 Movie" campaign. " Me too! Maybe we should...
But I read somewhere that Claudia asked not to be in the 3rd film, because she's pursuing other projects. (and now, of course, I can't find the reference for that quote at all. >.< Murphey's law.).
It's a damn shame though. Vala is such a terrific character!! And Claudia is just such a magnificent actress. She just lights up anything she's in!
Stargate Wiki says Ben Browder might not be in it either. So maybe it's intended as an "original team" movie?

Date: 2011-02-02 06:28 pm (UTC)If they never make another Stargate movie, I wish they'd at least get crackin' on those audio dramas that Big Finish has in production.
