Claudia Unbound<\/span>
\nDavid Bassom, Stargate SG-1 Official Magazine #04, May\/Jun 05<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Throughout Prometheus Unbound, viewers are left guessing as to whether Vala (played by Farscape’s Claudia Black) is a villain or a heroine. Black feels that the ambiguity that surrounds her character creates a lot of potential for Vala’s six-episode story arc at the beginning of Season Nine.<\/p>\n

“We really don’t know yet about Vala,” she explains. “I think Daniel Jackson finds her very frustrating. I don’t think he feels he can trust her much, but he does find her intriguing and I think he respects her ability. So I think she’s going to be an interesting character to watch in Season Nine.”<\/p>\n

Season Nine will also feature Claudia Black’s leading man from Farscape, Ben Browder, in a new regular role as a military hero who becomes involved in SG-1. Black has no doubt that her former co-star will prove to be a fine addition to Stargate SG-1.<\/p>\n

“They are so lucky to have Ben,” she states. “I actually don’t know if they realise how lucky they are yet. Ben’s energy knows no bounds, so I think he’s going to run them ragged. He’s got the spirit and the enthusiasm as a performer of someone a third of his age.”<\/p>\n

Many viewers have already noted the physical similarities beween Browder and longtime Stargate SG-1 star Michale Shanks, and Black is only too aware of what they’re saying. “They do look alike,” she agrees with a grin. “It certainly was weird for me to walk onto the Stargate SG-1 set and see Michael in an almost identical costume to what Ben wore on Farscape! I’m sure there will be some tongue-in-cheek comment on the show on their similarity. One of the joys of Stargate SG-1 is that there’s a lot of tongue-in-cheek humour.”<\/p>\n

“The one thing Michael and Ben really do have in common is that they take their work as actors very seriously. I also think that their way of working is very similar; they’re both very professional and both very technically proficient. And I think they’ll be delighted to find those qualities in each other. I’m very happy they’re getting a chance to work together. I know they have met, and Michael spoke very highly of Ben, so they’ll give each other a run for their money and I know they’ll have a lot of fun together. And I’m sure the onscreen chemistry between the two of them is going to be phenomenal.”<\/p>\n

In addition to appearing alongside Michael Shanks, Browder seems destined to appeare opposite Black in Stargate SG-1 – and that’s one reunion Black is excited by. “It will be nice to do something with Ben where I have the opportunity to be a lot more playful,” she notes. “Our characters could even hate each other! That would be fun.”<\/p>\n

As excited as she is about what the future holds for Shanks and Browder, Claudia Black is even more thrilled about what Stargate SG-1’s ninth season has in store for Vala. She has relished her Stargate SG-1 experience to date, and feels that Vala could captivate viewers like never before during the coming year.<\/p>\n

“I do believe Vala is an interesting character and there’s room for her to grow,” she declares. “There are just lots of possibilities for the character, and I think she’s going to be fun to watch. I know the show’s producers were very clear about her back-story and where she came from but not all of that was revealed in Prometheus Unbound, so I think there’s a lot of scope for her in Season Nine.”<\/p>\n
