Family ties 1018

Wooh this episode was a fiasco with all the lieing and scheming i couldn't follow this entire episode but what about those moon rocks hmm. I really thought the character that played valas dad was a really good choice and he really acted the part for how i thought vala's father would be like. the end was hilarious i thought that he would do what he did but i never expected the deal at the very end.

i felt so sorry for vala hehehe....but as you said they made a good choice in finding an actor to be valas father... smile  

[MinakoTenjou]

i thought it was a good episode....though i didnt expect vala's father to be quite so charismatic. it worked, though. and i feel awful for vala!!

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned the last scene yet. whee

Fred Willard is the actor's name, I believe. He's actually relatively well-known. Shows how much sway the shows carry in the casting department. mrgreen  

[Dr Helen Magnus]

It's amazing how many big names they seem to have had over the years. The show made it bigtime compared to so many other series.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

They even got Isaac Hayes to do a voiceover in one bit of 200. That's saying a lot!

But seriously, the last scene. Thoughts? Reactions? How much did YOU laugh? wink  

[Kaiser_MageMule]

histarically to use a word i cant spell and wont try would explain the last scene during the trade.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

I mean the very-very-VERY last scene. In the theater.  

[Lt. Colonel Sam Carter]

xd  

[Kaiser_MageMule]

oh that scene teal'c will be scared for a couple episodes.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

That few? cool  

[Lt. Colonel Sam Carter]

i would say the rest of his life.....  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

The bit right before the fade-out was superb. Where he looked like he was trying to hide his face. lol

Actually, the writers wrote the part of vala's father with fred willard in mind. so it wasn't necessarily good casting. it was just good acting that got him on the show.

and the v****a monologues scene with teal'c had both my mother and i in tears we were laughing so hard. thank god for Tevo. we must have watched that part 100 times that night.  

[kittyfox_kumiko]

Well what I mean about casting is that they actually got him when they wanted him.
