Where the heck is Vala?

Got this in my update/alert email from TV Shows on DVD website:

This is supposed to be an SG-1 team pic, right? So where the heck is Vala? I used to think someone creating these covers had a hard on for AT/Sam and the reason MS was shoved into the background so often (sometimes missing altogether) was because he doesn't have Girl Bits; then I saw the cover for Atlantis with McKay shoved waaaay into the background. Now this. Vala has Girl Bits. Vala is on SG-1 full time. Vala isn't on the cover. Add the cover of season 1 NCIS dvd (Tony's face is cut in half) and I'm going to conclude that images are randomly selected and hacked to bits by a semi-trained monkey, with extra banana pieces attached to the Lead Male and Lead Female. Dammit, can't they leave the poor monkeys to groom each other and toss scat and have human beings creating these things?

I'm hoping there's going to be a new release of dvds that moves away from the same boring artwork we've had for ten seasons. It's old hat. Something in the vein of the Atlantis cover art is what I'd like to see for SG-1.

On the one hand, I like the idea of consistent art, but on the other, their artwork was crap. That little Stargate frame just isn't all that exciting and you can't really see what's in it (other than Sam's boobage, because there's no way you can miss it).

Why not have hints of the gate along the edges of art with more room for the actors? I know, I know, I'm thinking logically again. Silly me. ;)
