Vala-less? Yippeee!

No Vala in the next movie? Light the fireworks, break open the champagne, and let's have a party!

It's back to the original team, which to me is the best thing of all. No word yet about Mitchell? He's a nonentity anyhow, but I do love seeing him on screen together with Michael Shanks, so fine with me there. The Guy is sure to buy the movie. Maybe I'll even watch this one.

Edited to add: Hey all! If Vala is entitled to be in the movie simply because she's a member of SG-1, then let's TOTALLY get mad at Brad Wright for not including Jonas, okay? Okay? Because we can't play favorites amongst the team, past or present! Cuz if HE could be on the team, ANY old tramp could be on the team!

Granted, RDA acts like he's a plank on acid these days, but honestly, I've watched tons of crap TV shows/movies where the lead is lacking.

Ship it to death? Possibly. But the folks fronting the $$$ aren't likely to appreciate to much slap and tickle between lead characters if they expect to have much profit off of it. And don't forget, the producers have their own new series to keep the backing for, so...we'll see about Ship. If Vala was going to be in it, there might be ship in it anyhow.

I'm hopeful RDA's time away will have given him some new perspective on the role. Jack's always had a streak of dark humor, but the silly stuff is just over the top.

Actually, I think those fronting the money probably expect ship, as it's traditional in most shows. The Hero must win his Heroine and all that rot.

There's always going to be people who buy anything with the name "Stargate" on it, even if they don't like certain aspects, so it might balance out those who've given up completely.

I still wonder if the ship would have been such an issue if TPTB hadn't made it an issue -- not onscreen, but off. The more they talked about it offscreen, the more shippers were convinced they were going to get a payoff and kept clamoring for it. They've been waiting for how many years now?

I'm not that patient. I'm perfectly fine with reading what I want into it (or not), and not getting a cookie from TPTB for reading it "the right way."

Romance does seem to be standard in lots of genres--add romance, score!

The ship was an issue for me onscreen only because I noticed how they began to isolate Daniel and really downplayed the team and the interactions, friendship, and affection between everyone else, for the most part. Jack was allowed to have Teal'c as a buddy, and that was about it.
