- There’s no denying that Daniel
Jackson had his work cut out for him
dealing with Vala when she made her
début last year in the episode
Prometheus Unbound. Nonetheless,
Michael Shanks couldn’t have been more
pleased when Claudia Black returned this
season to reprise her SG-1 role.
“Claudia is the first actor I’ve met
whose brain actually operates at the
same speed as mine. Scary, huh?” laughs
Shanks. “Working with her on
Prometheus Unbound was a gift, and a
real blessing to meet someone who’s a
true touchstone in many different ways.
“Obviously, having Claudia back this
year was a treat. I don’t think I’ve
ever smiled and laughed quite so much on
this show. Claudia brings so many ideas
to the table all the time. When it comes
to our two characters, we see them as
having a sort of Spencer Tracy/Katharine
Hepburn dynamic, not so much of tension
but rather constant antagonism. Their
bickering leads to a lot of comedy and
always spices up dull exposition scenes.
Vala brings out a side of Daniel that I
hadn’t really had the chance to play
before. She pushes certain buttons on
him that no one else is able to, and I
just love that.”

- "Personally, I think she's a terrific character.
She's roguishly-wicked, funny, and impossible to pin
down. There's no knowing whether she has a hidden
agenda or what her true motives are - but, despite
all that, there's the sense that she is a good
person at heart. In short - she's a blast to write
for."
