I'm pretty sure that costume actually performs a valuable function for Vala - keeping her marks distracted from what her hands are doing.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

If I only had a brain...
keeping her marks distracted from what her hands are doing.
Not to mention valuable artifact-hiding space.
Which leads me to an old vulgar joke.
The Queen of England and Princess Anne are in their Rolls-Royce when they are held up by a highwayman. He demands all their jewelry and drives off in the Rolls.
The two ladies are walking down the road. Princess Anne says, "Mama, I have a confession to make." "Yes?" "I hid my pearls. Someplace... very private."
They walk on in silence. The Queen replies, "I, too, hid my crown. Someplace .... very, very private."
They walk on in silence. The Queen remarks, "Damn. If Margaret had been here, we could have saved the Rolls."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Nah, I totally agree that she's hotter in BDUs than in that whole S&M get-up. I thought the mini-skirt was hot, too, but hey, this is Claudia Black. It's tough to make her look less than scorching. Like that patterned '70's skintight two-piece thing in ... err, was is "Kansas"? Whichever ep it was when the Moya gangs goes to the earth. It was ridiculous and she should not have looked as good as she did in it, but wow. Hubba-hubba indeed.

I liked those.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. For as much as I am very, very not into fashion, patterned tights are one of my buttons. Like socks and sandals, espadrilles (and I know they're in this season) and wearing denim jackets with jeans.

Ponchos. Don't forget ponchos.

I'm all up for breakfast. And I think Minnow's actually registered here, even if she never posts. Barkley finally admitted to lurking a few weeks ago, which I should have guessed, for the snark. Actually, lots of people I know are lurkers, and I wish they'd just post, already.
Oh, speaking of lurkers, best. icon. post. ever: [link] Icons for wildlife, BSG, VM, Eddie Izzard, and DW, among others. Utterly brilliant.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Gorgeous pics, from SG1 and Lost both. Daniel Dae Kim - such a hottie. Mmm. (And I agree about the relative hottitude of the cited outfits too, actually. Not that I've seen any of the season in question, but I've seen plenty of links to pics of CB.)
Bless Tiggy. I now have the whole of VM. Yay! (Sorry, Dana, I hope I didn't spoil you too much alreayd - d'you want me to go back and whitefont any of my comments for other people who may be in your boat?)
I like ponchos. Well, not all of them, 'cause I've not met all of them, but I have a black crumply musliny one that is very handy for disguising cleavagy slutbomb tops and preserving a modicum of decency. Although 'poncho' implies a degree of sturdiness and warmth that this garment and its kin rather lack, but since we're talking about a square of fabric with a hole in the middle, poncho it is.
