If we're going for the pretty, I want the C/D/V three-way. More pretty, no waiting.

They both pretty much flung him over their shoulder and dragged him back to their cave, though.

That's true. I think Vala would like to do that, but he's really got no reason to trust her, so I think it would end poorly if she tried it now (well, see this episode).

he got to be Sensitive And Understanding in the "you mean we're married?" scene, which he always likes

He really does, and that's key, I think -- he can't do that with Vala except just after she gets crispy-crittered, because the rest of the time she's scamming him. Or he suspects she is.

Anyway. Clearly they need to go on some long adventure together and spend three days running and hiding from people and get all sweaty and grimy and find common ground. Yup.

I fear that if they let Black and Browder indulge in their mutual chemistry, Shanks will be lost in the conflagration. And as Vala recently demonstrated, that takes a toll on the pretty. Better to keep their characters uninterested in one another.

I do see some signs of grudging affection amid the exasperation in Daniel, though it's not a sexual kind. Sort of a "best enemies" kind of thing.

The best I get out of Daniel is "well, at least she's entertaining."

Except, no, I shouldn't encourage you. I need to encourage ADW! My priorities are slipping.

Has SG-1 finished shooting for the season?

because CB's tenure is coming to an end, and I am verklempt.

I think they've probably hit their midterm break by now, yeah. They take a summer vacation and start shooting again in the fall, or something like that.

So, no, Betsy, they're not done for the season. I suspect that given the strong response, we may see Vala again. At least that's my hope.

Gah. You saw me up above: I just can't do banter. We need Shalott or Shrift or Dana to write it. I have hopes of Taf's new thing: she does good banter.

I do good banter, she said immodestly, but I just... can't make the chemistry work.

I mean, Vala ties him to the bed, prepares to have her way with him, and he asks her to go get his reading glasses and an artifact.
