Why This Must Be Read: Vala and Teyla, both writing reports for the same mission. We need both Teyla's cool diplomatic wording and Vala's blunt and easy manner to get the real picture of what happened, but when you put it all together, you'll find it hard to stop laughing!

Teamy goodness, snark, and just the right amount of silliness to make this an absolute delight.


Gyane explained to us that only women are permitted to enter the marketplace on Aessuma, as the Aessu believe that men are too impulsive to be trusted with important purchasing decisions. Doctor Jackson's request to accompany the group as an observer was denied, and Vala Mal Doran's suggestion of a possible compromise was eventually deemed unsuitable.

Sam refused to wear a dress to go into the marketplace. Daniel did too, even though I told him he'd look very pretty.
