Unending
I've been sitting here for a while thinking about what I want to say. Far, far more than my usual alcohol-induced ramblings. I feel a bit... weird, because a couple of those scenes touched me far more deeply than I ever imagined they would

Yes, yes, yes! I really give the much-maligned writers points on this one for not pulling any punches. Because it is just *so* damned painful, no matter where you fall on the Daniel/Vala scale.
And so very well-acted by both of them. I only felt a glimmer of Michael when he did the miming of the breasts and sultry walk thing, because I've never envisioned Daniel doing anything *quite* like that - but I can see it because he was in full-out rant mode by then.
I loved Vala just sitting there, trying to pull the shreds of her dignity together enough to just quietly leave. Trying desperately not to cry because she doesn't want him to know how deeply she's hurt. She's equally astonished that he doesn't understand the depth of her feelings for him. Yet she simply hadn't wanted to ask for more than he could give. And he'd impugned everything that was essentially *her*.
Yes, so very, very honest and messy and complicated. Heh, the writers *finally* got something *right*. IMHO, of course. I know a *lot* of fandom disagrees with me.
I'll just sit over here in my little corner and be satisfied with what we got. Not perfect, no, but a damn sight better than what we sometimes got ;)
