Season 9, Episode 1

I liked Claudia Black better in Pitch Black when the alien creatures carried her off for nutritional value

What a terrible character. Claudia Black's Vala is a cross between Nellie from The Office and Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars. Vala Nellie Binks. You just want to scratch your eyeballs out and drive nails through your ears. Whose idea was it to bring one of the most annoying character to this show? Please don't tell me it was Peter DeLuise (I love that guy). Maybe it was Wood or Mallozzi. Could have been Glassner or Wright. Regardless it was boneheaded... Vala is annoying AF!!!

I know some people think the show should have ended after season 8 but I love the show and I love the main characters. Farscape guy is okay with me, it's not his fault Richard Dean Anderson decided to leave so he could spend time with his daughter. I think Ben Browder is a good addition considering he has gigantic massive shoes to fill. But if I had it my way I would of made Samantha Carter the leader of the team and brought back Jonas Quinn, I really missed and liked Corin Nemec. I am a forever SG-1 fan so I give them kudos for keeping it going though.

It's Vala that was the big mistake here. She's not cute, sexy, funny or entertaining in anyway. And there is ZeRo chemistry with Daniel Jackson. The constant bickering between them is very hard to watch, it's not attractive although the show tries to push that. Again... ZeRoOoo chemistry here. And what's with the s/m outfit... it's atrocious.

I also like Beau Bridges, what a nice addition to the show. But my gosh... it's going to be hard to stomach Vala for the next 40 episodes, bleh. I would of easily given this episode an 8 or 9 if it weren't for the overload screen presence of the insufferable Vala character.
