Ugh. Daniel takes Vala out on a "date" in the upcoming "I Was A Lousy Waitress" Vala-centric episode. Here's the clip on UTube, if you're interested in watching the not-date.

Excuse me while I stick my finger down my throat.

I'm not sure I really care if the J/S shippers use it to validate anything.

I'm more bothered that people who would have screamed to holy hell if that scene were between J and S will probably see that as purely platonic, not an ounce of ship in sight, just because they like Vala and adore Daniel.

Sorry, but it doesn't work that way for me. Ship is ship, and this ship is no less tolerable than J/S ever was. In some ways, I find it more repugnant.

That's what I meant, SBG, I didn't say it very clearly. My brain is scattered today.

Nah. You've said it several other places in the thread, and we're clearly in agreement. ;)

It boggles my mind, frankly, that people can react so differently to two very similar situations.

Well, apparently my style is too confrontational for OS at the moment (which may or may not be true). I'm not trying to turn anyone around from their Vala-adoration, etc. But my attitude needs adjusting so that I can be calm, cool and collected before posting what I *feel* so I don't upset anyone or make them feel like I'm attacking them.

I guess if you like Daniel and Vala together, you're feelings are so much more likely to get hurt than another type of shipper. But perhaps I'm wrong.

Huh. Anyone who disagrees too strongly has an offensive tone. I could go on and on about that and how certain people can say some ridiculously offensive things and get away with it, but I don't want to get myself in trouble. ;)

You're probably not. It's the new OTP! (Love your icon.) Anyone who cannot see this is automatically a big dumb meaniehead. No matter how much what they say makes sense.
