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!

Really? Maybe I would then. Obviously I'm a Daniel girl through and through, but if Daniel spent his time angsting about Vala, I don't think I'd enjoy that.

I did come to like Mitchell in spite of the schizoid way they wrote the character in season 9. Besides Vala, he was one of the few I still liked in the parts of season 10 that I watched. I liked that episode with Mitchell and Landry in the cabin, for instance, but it was like watching a TV movie about characters I didn't know, not an episode of Stargate. Ben Browder and Beau Bridges are both awesome actors, but still...not Stargate. Watchable, but not Stargate. hehe

That's really why I ended up not watching the rest of season 10, really. It was no longer appointment TV. I forgot to watch, and then just never got around to it, and then I never really wanted to watch after a while.

I'm not sure if I'd enjoy a movie that was more about Mitchell or not, though. They did a better job of integrating him into the team, and I liked him well enough, so maybe.

Thanks for the info anyway. Maybe I'll look up some reviews of that one, too, because I mostly just avoided any mention of the two movies. I have no idea what occurred in either of them. Or maybe I should just leave well enough alone and continue deluding myself that SG-1 ended towards the end of season 9. :-)

Vala is there just at the beginning and then barely at the very end. She's just *there* and really does nothing. As a Vala fan, I was *sorely* disappointed. As a D/V ship fan, I was doubly so. As a team fan (team that includes Vala) I was disappointed too. To me it came across that the team could give a rats arse about her. So yeah, it sucked to be a Vala fan and watch this movie, IMO. Mind you, the focus I put above on Vala is *my* take on her character as I am a fan of her. If you didn't care for her, her involvement is really...blink and you missed her sort of thing.

There's way more reasons why I hated this movie, but I digress. :)

hehe I'd love to hear more of why you disliked the movie, if you have the time and/or the inclination.

Because of this conversation and things I read elsewhere, I just went to read the Solutions Wiki summary of the movie, and...wow. It seems like both Teal'c and Vala were removed from the team for the duration.
