Vala-less? Yippeee!

[gategrrl]

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!

I have sincere doubts they'll be able to get RDA to give any kind of serious performance, especially if they pair him up with the Tappinator. I'm going to guess that this movie they'll have the team go back in time and what we'll see is younger versions of them on screen for most of the movie. Bad Write seems to like those temporal-wank type plots.

There's also the possibility that a *story* can be centered around a character who isn't the main do-er, if you know what I mean. So, RDA might be in a few scenes, but not in its acting center (as in the example you have)

Yup. And it'll be just as craptastic as the last one.

I vaguely recall talk of a plot possibly along those lines. I think it was talked about before the series ended, but I'm not sure.

Something about a story taking place in an early season, which makes no sense because you can't really de-age the actors. I'm wondering if it will be akin to the DS9 episode that inserted characters from that show into "The Trouble with Tribbles" from the classic show.

It would fit with the love of temporal wankfests, and would give them the opportunity to go back and retell an episode to put forth ship, just like they did back in season four.

Could also be a reason to leave out both Vala and Mitchell, if they go with it being some sort of timeline change like they did in Continuum, so those two wouldn't exist as part of the team in the future.

Oh! OH! I know!! JM was waxing poetic recently about ship on his blog and made a comment that in his mind Jack and Sam had 'been together' since season 4 or 5 (I can't remember which he said). Maybe this will be a way for them to show how Jack and Sam got married in Vegas with the presidents special permission and they've been together ever since Divide and Conquer. Hell, I'll even throw in another x-files type reference and have it that they had kids (twins even) but they gave them up for adoption in order to 'protect' them from the evil NID types. Yeah...that sounds like something RIGHT up Braddikins alley.

Yes, they talked about doing something set in S2 - I remember CJ specifically mentioning S2, and I thought that must mean it was supposed to tie into a particular ep from that season.

But yeah, ain't nobody passing for that age anymore.

I was thinking it was season two or three, but knowing my luck it would be season four so they could revisit the whole Upgrades/Divide and Conquer thing again. Who knows, maybe they're going back earlier to set it up that they were already involved in some way.
