Last season, former <em>Farscape<\/em> star Black played Vala in half a dozen episodes, which came on the heels of an eighth-season guest shot that introduced her wily thief character. In the upcoming season, Black joins the cast as a regular, and Vala, who has been impregnated by the villainous Ori, will give birth to a rapidly maturing child named Adria, who will be played by several actresses, including ex-<em>Firefly<\/em> star Morena Baccarin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In order to justify Vala there in a regular capacity this season, we&#8217;ve had to tone that down a little bit,&#8221; Shanks said in an interview, referring to the characters&#8217; sexual tension. &#8220;We&#8217;re doing a lot of balancing right now. We&#8217;re trying to find the fun of it, and we&#8217;re trying to find the push-pull in a more practical, kind of friendship situation. There&#8217;s an episode where Daniel and Vala go out to dinner to talk about her personal growth, so to speak, and there&#8217;s all the innuendo and misconception that can happen in that kind of situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shanks added: &#8220;So there&#8217;s a lot of fun in that. What we&#8217;re doing is trying to keep the joke alive without killing it. And it&#8217;s always fun when you work with somebody like Claudia, who&#8217;s so good at playing with you and playing off you and who just gives you so much all the time. It&#8217;s been a lot of fun doing that.&#8221; <em>Stargate SG-1<\/em> premieres on July 14 with a season opener entitled &#8220;Flesh and Blood.&#8221;  \u00e2\u20ac\u201d<strong><em>Ian Spelling<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to Elyse at sg1_spoilme for the heads up<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Sci Fi Wire.
