Am I the only one who sees this? (yeah, probably)
Vala has taken advantage of Daniel, invaded his privacy and personal space, turned his life upside down and manipulated his emotions since day one.
And Daniel can't help but react the way he does because Vala knows that Daniel can't help but care and she completely abuses his trust in this regard.
There's a very fine line between flirtation/teasing and harassment. Harassment is the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands; which, to me, is what I see happening with Daniel and Vala. She snuck INTO HIS BED on base and then played to his emotions to make him feel bad for saying no to something that he was not okay with. This is not okay! This is emotional abuse and an invasion of privacy on a immensely twisted and inappropriate level.
I'm not saying that Vala doesn't kick some ass in her own right, but the more I watch her needle Daniel, the more I want to shake her and say "hey, back the fuck off, he said 'no'!"
I've been on the wrong end of the harassment side of the line practically all my life (in the context of this post, as young as 2nd grade from a female classmate), so that is going to be what I immediately pick up on. If Vala had pulled a lot of the stuff she pulled on Daniel with me? I wouldn't take it. I'd knock her on her ass and boot her right back through the gate.
