Concept and creation

Stargate SG-1 supervising producer Damian Kindler wrote "Prometheus Unbound" as a second-unit bottle episode for the middle of Stargate SG-1's Season 8 in 2004. Damian Kindler (born in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian-born Canadian writer and producer Season eight of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 9, 2004 on In Film, the second unit is a team that shoots Footage which is of lesser importance for the final Motion picture, as opposed to the first unit which shoots The term bottle episode or bottleneck episode is used in episodic Television to refer to episodes which are produced using the least amount of money [1] The main cast's availability was limited, as Richard Dean Anderson had a reduced season schedule, and Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge filmed "Gemini" in parallel to "Prometheus Unbound". Richard Dean Anderson (born January Amanda Tapping (born 28 August 1965 is an English -born Canadian actress and producer Douglas Christopher Judge (born October 13 1964 in Los Angeles California) is an American Actor of African American Season eight of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 9, 2004 on [2][3] Kindler therefore centered the episode on Michael Shanks' character Daniel Jackson and created Vala, a human character from an unnamed planet, as Daniel's one-episode adversary. Michael Garrett Shanks (b December 15 1970, Vancouver British Columbia) is a Canadian Actor who achieved fame for his role Daniel Jackson is a Fictional character in both the Science fiction feature film Stargate and the subsequent television series Stargate Not fully content with Kindler's conservative approach, producer Robert C. Cooper amplified the character's cheeky and sexy personality in his own passes of the script. Robert C Cooper is a Canadian writer and producer He was formerly an executive producer of Stargate SG-1 until the series' conclusion and currently Although Cooper tried to respect Stargate SG-1's reputation as a sex-free family show, he was aware that the character's sexiness might cause a strong audience reaction. [1][4]

Robert. C. Cooper suggested Australian actress Claudia Black for the role of Vala and contacted her agent two days before the filming of "Prometheus Unbound" began. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. Claudia Lee Black (born in Sydney, Australia on 11 October 1[[ ]] 7[[ ]] is an Australian actress, best known for [3] The Stargate producers had approached Black several times before, but she had always been busy with other projects. [5] At "Prometheus Unbound"'s casting stage, the actress had just finished dialogue looping sessions for Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars in Australia. In filmmaking, dubbing or looping is the process of recording or replacing voices for a Motion picture. Farscape The Peacekeeper Wars is a Television Science fiction mini-series written by Rockne S [6] She thought the script of "Prometheus Unbound" was funny and self-contained enough for creative experiments, so she accepted the role and called the episode's director, Andy Mikita, in advance. Andy Mikita is currently a director for Stargate Atlantis, and directed Atlantis's sister show [3] He suggested an Out of Sight-kind chemistry for Vala and Daniel, and encouraged the actress to push the character as far as possible. For other uses see Out of Sight (disambiguation. Out of Sight is a 1998 Academy Award -nominated movie directed [3][7] On set, Claudia Black and Michael Shanks decided to make one of their first scenes, a fight sequence, as funny and non-machismo as possible to mirror Daniel's non-military background. Machismo is a prominently exhibited or excessive Masculinity. [8] In the meantime, Black tried to transform her day-long jetlag and lack of sleep into humor. Jet lag, also jetlag or jet-lag, is a physiological condition which is a consequence of alterations to Circadian rhythms it is classified [3][7] When the producers saw the on-screen chemistry between Black and Shanks, they decided to make the character a bigger part of the show. [9] Claudia Black received a recurring role in Season 9, followed by a regular role in Season 10.

Official Stargate sources advertised Vala as a "scheming, unscrupulous, thieving con artist",[10] "feisty" and "occasionally fickle",[5] with a "mysterious agenda" and a seemingly "amorous interest in Dr. Daniel Jackson". [10] Genre magazine TV Zone subtitled Vala as a "thief, arms dealer, mercenary" who, when given an inch, will "take a mile, and whatever else she can get her hands on. TV Zone is a British Magazine published every four weeks by Visual Imagination that covers Cult television. "[11] SFX described Vala as a "mischievous minx",[12] whereas The San Diego Union-Tribune interpreted Vala as "ethically challenged". SFX is a British Magazine devoted to Science fiction and Fantasy subjects especially media-related topics but not containing fiction The San Diego Union-Tribune is a daily Newspaper published in San Diego California, by the Copley Press. [13] Steven Eramo of Starburst gave Vala the attributes "sexy, smart and always resourceful". Starburst is a British Science fiction Magazine published every four weeks by Visual Imagination. [14] Claudia Black characterized early Vala as "sassy", "intelligent", "manipulative", and "mercurial", but found it "very hard to tell what the real core of Vala is. "[7] Black later described Vala as "a new, weird element", "irritating",[15] "very vibrant",[6] "sort of the hair-pulling variety", "really infuriating" and "[hopefully] funny". [16] With Vala being a departure from Black's former Farscape role as Aeryn Sun, Black regarded Vala as a comedic and energetic character with streaks of irreverence and naughtiness who "says everything that everyone else is thinking, but doesn't dare say",[16] although both characters share "being damaged goods [in the beginning] and on a path to becoming a better person". [14] Robert C. Cooper thought of Vala as "a bit of a wild card" and "a very sexy character, who isn't afraid to take whatever she wants in any given situation. "[17] Cooper and Black believed the character had a moral compass to her actions. [5]

Development

Season 9

With actor Richard Dean Anderson's departure from the show in 2005, Stargate SG-1 saw cast changes at the beginning of Season 9. Richard Dean Anderson (born January Ben Browder and Beau Bridges joined the main cast as Lieutenant-Colonel Cameron Mitchell and General Hank Landry, respectively. Robert Benedic "Ben" Browder (born December 11, 1962) is an American Actor and Writer, who is best known for his lead Cameron Mitchell is a Fictional character in the American Sci-Fi Channel television series Stargate SG-1, a science fiction show about a military Major General Henry "Hank" Landry is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 played by Beau Bridges. At the same time, the producers re-introduced Vala in a six-episode story arc to cover for the maternity leave of SG-1 regular Amanda Tapping (Lieutenant-Colonel Samantha Carter). Amanda Tapping (born 28 August 1965 is an English -born Canadian actress and producer [33][34] The producer intended to use Vala's unpredictability and wildcard status to break the bigger story arc and to acquaint the audience with the new characters. Claudia Black wished to broaden her horizon in comedic acting and agreed to the recurring role, but declined the producers' offer of a permanent role for personal reasons. [5][14][15]

Because Ben Browder and Claudia Black were well-known for formerly starring as star-crossed lovers in the cult sci-fi series Farscape, the Stargate producers refrained from emphasizing the pairing of Mitchell and Vala beyond in-jokes. Farscape is an American science fiction television series filmed in Australia and produced for the Sci-Fi Channel. [16][35] The producers instead opted to further the comedic chemistry between Claudia Black and Michael Shanks, who linked their characters' early relationship to a Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn dynamic of "not so much of tension, but rather constant antagonism". Michael Garrett Shanks (b December 15 1970, Vancouver British Columbia) is a Canadian Actor who achieved fame for his role Spencer Tracy ( April 5, 1900 – June 10, 1967) was a two-time Academy Award -winning Actor of stage and Katharine Houghton Hepburn (May 12 1907 – June 29 2003 was an American actress of film television and stage [12][36][37] Despite the initial concern that their relationship would stagnate and dumb down their characters, Shanks felt Vala brought out a side of Daniel that he had not had the chance to play before, and Black advocated the slow revelation of Vala's layers of denial. [12][36] Mirroring Vala's sexiness in Season 8, "The Powers That Be" writer Martin Gero chose Qetesh, the Egyptian Goddess of Love and Beauty, as a fitting former Goa'uld identity for the Vala. Season nine of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 15, 2005 on Martin Gero (born 1977 is a Canadian Screenwriter and co- executive Producer for Stargate Atlantis. In Egyptian mythology and Canaanite religion, Qetesh (also Qadesh Quetesh Kadesh Qatesh Qadeshet Qudshu Qodesh) referred to a Goddess or Goddesses In the Science fiction Television series Stargate SG-1, the Goa'uld (pronounced go-ah-OOLD or, commonly mispronounced or shortened [38] Nevertheless, Black and the producers refrained from portraying the character as too sexually manipulative. A scene from "The Ties That Bind" which was later cut for time originally made clear that the sexual relationship between Wallace Shawn's character and Vala had not taken place the way he had described in the episode. Season nine of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 15, 2005 on Wallace Shawn (born November 12, 1943) sometimes credited as Wally Shawn, is an American Actor and playwright [15]

Claudia Black was brought back into the show for the last two episodes of Season 9, at which time the actress was seven months pregnant. [34] Producer Robert C. Cooper, who wrote and directed "Crusade", used the circumstances to set the stage for Adria, Vala's future daughter and the new villain in Season 10. Robert C Cooper is a Canadian writer and producer He was formerly an executive producer of Stargate SG-1 until the series' conclusion and currently Season nine of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 15, 2005 on The Ori (ɒrаɪ The Ori fabricated a religion called Origin which they use to control non-ascended beings attempting to destroy anyone who rejects it [33] According to Black, Vala's motivation to hide her miraculous pregnancy by marrying the local villager Tomin (played by Tim Guinee) stems from "genuinely car[ing] for the man. The Ori (ɒrаɪ The Ori fabricated a religion called Origin which they use to control non-ascended beings attempting to destroy anyone who rejects it Timothy S Guinee (born November 18, 1962) is an American Stage, Television, and Feature Film Actor She does something wrong, but she must in order to survive. "[33] Against the audience's expectation, Vala and Tomin are shown as a seemingly functioning normal couple, and Vala makes several efforts to save him despite his deep indoctrination. [15] Cooper explained that by Vala's contacting of Stargate Command about the imminent threat, she "has reached a point of honesty with [the SG-1] characters and possibly herself on a level that she's never had before. "[39]

Season 10

Claudia Black joined the cast full time in Season 10. Had Stargate SG-1 not been picked up for a new season, the producers would have considered the character for a spin-off series. [15] To justify the character in a regular capacity, the producers toned her down and tried to find a suitable balance of sexual tension, fun and friendship. [40] Claudia Black was convinced that Vala's actual stay with Stargate Command was justified despite the character's personality. Vala's renegade qualification to infiltrate the Ori served as a useful complement to the military-oriented SG teams, and Vala had already proven a degree of allegiance through her actions in "Beachhead", holding off an immediate invasion of the enemy. Season nine of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 15, 2005 on [15] The writers tested this loyalty through confrontation in the story, and writer Damian Kindler later compared Vala's character growth in Season 10 to smuggler Lando Calrissian from Star Wars, a "former swindler who's gone legit". Damian Kindler (born in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian-born Canadian writer and producer Lando Calrissian is a character in the Star Wars universe. He is portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in Star Wars Episode V Star Wars is an epic Space opera franchise initially conceived by George Lucas during the 1970s and significantly expanded Careful to never have Vala become too earnest, Kindler never saw Vala "as the type of character who should be on the show for five, six, seven years. But definitely the sort of character who could come in for a couple seasons, spice things up and then move on and come back and forth. "[1] In hindsight, Claudia Black would see Season 10 as a personal challenge as her baby deprived her of sleep during the filming period. [41] Her relocation to Vancouver and sickness in the family put her on a self-confessed personal and professional low. Vancouver (vænˈkuːvɚ is a coastal [42] She nevertheless tried to stay true to her character "and not go for the cheap laugh". [41]

The writers continued to develop the friendship between Vala and Daniel throughout Season 10, aiming not to lose their sexual chemistry. [43] Michael Shanks stated that by "Memento Mori", "Daniel legitimately cares about Vala and has seen some sort of redemption in her and wants that process to continue. Season ten of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 14, 2006 on "[44] From Black's point of view, Daniel offers "an interesting window" into "Vala's external façade to be playful with people". He helps Vala grow as a person and forces her to "develop coping mechanisms that allow her to be more adult and learn that it's OK to be honest and talk how you feel. "[45] Describing Vala's attitude towards bonding with other characters as "in a strange way quite level-headed" and "quite honest",[15] Black interpreted Vala's behavior as a reaction to growing attached to people where the relationships never seem to work out. [41] Throughout the season, Vala has to come to terms with her maternal feelings for Adria (as adult played by Morena Baccarin), well knowing from the beginning that Adria embodies a destructive entity that must be fought. Morena Baccarin (born June 2 1979 is a Brazilian actress of Italian origins best known for her roles as Inara Serra in the short-lived [45] Black believed Vala had to "try her best to connect with her daughter in the hope of finding ways to humanize her", despite her own lack of maturity. [14] When Vala meets her father Jacek (Fred Willard) in "Family Ties", Vala shows "a slightly more dramatic and vulnerable side" that was new to the audience. Fred Willard (born September 18 1939 He also appeared as KVWN news director "Ed Harken" in Anchorman The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and in American Season ten of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 14, 2006 on [41]

Evolving Vala's relationship with her team members, the producers grew comfortable with pairing Browder's and Black's characters more often, and even teased (and misled) viewers about them "end[ing] up in a motel room bed together" in the episode "Memento Mori", involving underwear, "handcuffs as well as creamy Twinkies". A Twinkie is a "Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling" popular in North America [46] A scene in the milestone episode "200" also parodied the show's connection to Farscape. " 200 " is the sixth episode of the Science fiction Television series Stargate SG-1 s tenth season, and the two-hundredth [35] From the beginning of Season 10, Claudia Black and Amanda Tapping requested a similarly positive camaraderie between their characters as male characters have. Tapping noted Carter's respect for Vala despite them being at opposite ends in their actions; Tapping also thought Carter finds Vala amusing rather than annoying. [44] A scene in "Morpheus" that was intended to establish this relationship was cut for time, and until the late Season 10 episode "Family Ties" (when the two walked into the SGC with several bags, having just been on a shopping trip together) would accommodate this, the actresses acknowledged their connection through looks and subtle nuances. Season ten of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 14, 2006 on Season ten of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 14, 2006 on [47][48] By joining SG-1, Vala also shared a spot with stoic warrior Teal'c as the only alien members of the team, and actor Christopher Judge (Teal'c) explained that his character's amusement with Vala contributed to Teal'c's loosening up. Teal'c (born c March 14 1899 is a Fictional character in the Science fiction Television series Stargate SG-1. Douglas Christopher Judge (born October 13 1964 in Los Angeles California) is an American Actor of African American [49]

Asked about a possible romance between Vala and Daniel before the filming of the series finale, Black predicted that a consummation of the relationship would end badly in terms of both story and on-screen chemistry. [8] When Robert C. Cooper presented his preliminary script for "Unending", both Black and Shanks protested his intended story of having Vala and Daniel sleep together without a confrontation. " Unending " is the Season finale of the tenth season and Series finale of the Science fiction Television series Shanks felt that "[t]here's always been this underlining, keeping [Vala] at arms length because of the fear of getting too close. "[50] After Cooper rewrote the scene to increase Vala's vulnerability to Daniel, and have Daniel truthfully explain his feelings of a relationship, the actors decided to play the confrontation scene as genuinely as possible, with both characters being neither completely in-character nor totally out-of-character. [50]

Other appearances

Stargate The Ark of Truth is a direct-to- DVD Movie written and directed by Robert C Stargate Continuum is a Direct-to-DVD Movie written by Brad Wright and directed by Martin Wood. [32] Claudia Black's work on Continuum was limited on strict doctor's orders after a miscarriage scare during the first movie,[42] and although Black considered the film "not a Vala-centric piece" as she only "makes a brief appearance",[51] Stargate producer Joseph Mallozzi thought "she's got some great, juicy scenes". Joseph Mallozzi (born October 16, 1965 in Montreal, Canada) is a Canadian writer and producer [52] Claudia Black mentioned interest in portraying her character in the future,[53] but Mallozzi rated the chances of her appearing in the planned Stargate Universe spin-off series as "not so good". Stargate Universe is an upcoming Science fiction television series part of the Stargate franchise [54] The producers have not given thought to a Stargate Atlantis Vala story as of February 2008,[55] despite Michael Shanks guest-starring in the fifth season of Atlantis.

Fearing the lack of seriousness, the producers opposed the make-up department's decision of having Vala wear curlers, but the scene could not be reshot. [12][43][58] Similarly, a scene showing Vala unpacking her hair dryer and curling iron during an offworld mission in "The Quest" was deemed too silly and was trimmed to the basics; it would have been cut if the footage had allowed it. Season ten of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 14, 2006 on [47] Due to Black's pregnancy during the filming of the films, the costume department needed to hide Black's bump with appropriate dressing. [42]

Reception

The character of Vala was immediately popular with the Stargate writers, producers and crew. During the filming of "Prometheus Unbound", people on set responded "very well" to the chemistry between Vala and Daniel. [6] Director Andy Mikita called executive producer Robert C. Cooper during the first lunch break and told him to "hire this gal",[3] and Cooper thought Vala/Black "was absolutely wonderful. Andy Mikita is currently a director for Stargate Atlantis, and directed Atlantis's sister show Robert C Cooper is a Canadian writer and producer He was formerly an executive producer of Stargate SG-1 until the series' conclusion and currently The character really worked out. "[17] Writer Damian Kindler "really loved" what Black brought to the show, believing that "her character, when used properly, is just absolutely wonderful grist for the mill on SG-1. Damian Kindler (born in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian-born Canadian writer and producer "[1] Stargate writer Martin Gero called Vala "so much fun to write, almost too fun. Martin Gero (born 1977 is a Canadian Screenwriter and co- executive Producer for Stargate Atlantis. You do kind of get carried away. "[38] Michael Shanks repeatedly stated in interviews that Claudia Black revitalized his interest in acting. Michael Garrett Shanks (b December 15 1970, Vancouver British Columbia) is a Canadian Actor who achieved fame for his role [59][60]

In interviews with Claudia Black, GateWorld's Darren Sumner commented on Vala's "warm reception [. GateWorld (also GateWorldnet) is a popular reference news and fan website on the various Stargate series including Stargate (movie . . ] by fans",[15] while TheScifiWorld's Gilles Nuytens called her "an instant hit with fans of the show". [8] The actress however was not as confident;[8][15] similarly, Robert C. Cooper advertised Vala's last Season 9 appearance as the return of "a much loved and much hated character. "[61] A Season 9 poll among over 8000 GateWorld readers showed 71 percent rating Claudia Black's portrayal of Vala as "perfect". [62] In a later poll among over 12000 participants, 51 percent answered that Claudia Black becoming a main character was "about time!", while 22 percent were concerned or had no opinion. [63] Vala Mal Doran ranked second (25%) out of five behind SG-1's Cameron Mitchell (27%) in the viewer-voted 2006 Spacey Awards for "Favourite New TV Character",[64] and was voted third (22%) out of five places in the 2007 Spacey Awards for "Favourite Character You Love to Hate" (26% Battlestar Galactica's Gaius Baltar, 28% Smallville's Lex Luthor). Cameron Mitchell is a Fictional character in the American Sci-Fi Channel television series Stargate SG-1, a science fiction show about a military The 4th Spacey Awards were presented on May 27, 2006 by the Canadian Television channel Space.

Lex Luthor is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. [65] Almost half of the 8500 GateWorld readers selected "Prometheus Unbound" as their favorite Vala-heavy episode out of eight given choices of her three-season arc. [66] Per popular demand, Diamond Select Toys included Vala in their third series of Stargate action figures. [67][68]

TV Guide called Vala a "saucy [and] bodacious babe who immediately clicked with viewers",[33] while The Sun Herald thought of the character as "a thoroughly charming intergalactic thief famed for using her allure to get what she wants. TV Guide is the name of a North American weekly magazine about television programming This article is about the United States newspaper For the Sunday newspaper in Sydney Australia see The Sun-Herald. "[69] Matt Roush of TV Guide called Claudia Black "great fun to watch in [Seasons 8 and 9]". TV Guide is the name of a North American weekly magazine about television programming [70] Concerning Ben Browder's and Claudia Black's on-screen reunification in Stargate SG-1's "Avalon", TV Zone's Stephen Graves believed that their first post-Farscape encounter was "somewhat underplayed – but Black makes up for this with her sparky, snarky characterization of Vala. " Avalon " (Parts 1 and 2 of 3 are the Season 9 Premiere episodes of the Science fiction Television series Stargate SG-1 TV Zone is a British Magazine published every four weeks by Visual Imagination that covers Cult television. Farscape is an American science fiction television series filmed in Australia and produced for the Sci-Fi Channel. "[71] He welcomed the producers' decision to not cast a carbon copy of Samantha Carter, and thought that Claudia Black's Vala in her six-episode arc remained "the best thing in the series". [71] By Season 10's "Memento Mori", TV Zone's Anthony Brown felt that "Ben Browder and Claudia Black have [. Season ten of Stargate SG-1, an American - Canadian Television series, began airing on July 14, 2006 on . . ] reached a point where they can play out an amusing take on Misery without you feeling that [their Farscape characters] have somehow starbursted onto SG-1's Earth". Misery is a 1990 American horror / thriller Film from Columbia Pictures and Castle Rock Entertainment Starburst is a British Science fiction Magazine published every four weeks by Visual Imagination. [72] Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune called Browder's and Black's interaction in Season 10 "great fun; the rapport they developed on the stellar Farscape was still much in evidence, even though they played radically different characters on SG-1. The Chicago Tribune is a major daily Newspaper based in Chicago, Illinois, United States, and owned by the Tribune Company "[73]

Maureen Ryan described the chemistry between Black and Michael Shanks as "sparky" and "one of the most diverting parts of the latter seasons of the show". [73] According to Ultimate DVD, the scenes between Vala and Daniel as the object of her affection resulted in "some of the freshest and funniest scenes in the show for some time". [57] In reviewing "Unending", Anthony Brown called Vala "a character who's always had a little too much of comic relief [getting] torn apart by the nice guy of the team. " Unending " is the Season finale of the tenth season and Series finale of the Science fiction Television series "[74] SyFy Portal attributed Stargate SG-1 not going stale after ten years to Black, as she "quite literally steals the show from the existing cast of heroes". SyFy Portal is an entertainment news Website focusing on Science-fiction, Fantasy and Comic book television series and films [75] For her portrayal of Vala, Claudia Black was nominated for a Saturn Award in the category "Best Supporting Actress on Television" in 2006,[76] and won a Constellation Award in the category "Best Female Performance in a 2006 Science Fiction Television" for the episode "Memento Mori" in 2007. The Saturn Award is an award presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror Films to honor the top works in Science fiction, Fantasy The Constellation Awards are a set of Canadian awards that are awarded annually for the best Science fiction or fantasy television or film works of the previous year [77]
