Certain people annoy me -- isn't it enough to get Daniel back, can't you just be happy about that? *snerk* [livejournal.com profile] carlachameleon and I were discussing the reactions of *some* people on our dearly beloved lists *eg*

Really, how do you propose to have Jack show Daniel he's glad to have him back? There's no time for that.

  • Say Jack had hugged Daniel when they first see him? Daniel would've decked him.
  • The scene was perfect. It reminded me SO much of the scene in Children of the Gods where Jack brushes past Daniel without acknowledging him.
  • after that they're all so caught up in the preparations to fight Anubis, that there's no time.
  • *I* liked the ending. *I* liked Jack's way of saying welcome home -- Jack's not a man of words, at least not saying things the way they are when it comes to emotional stuff. In Jack speech that was the way to say: We're glad you're home, come join us off-duty as well as on-duty.



::goes back to watch the eps again *g*::

Agree 100% hon:)

And how could they not *love* every single Jack/Daniel moment for crying out loud?

They were touching, witty, hilarious. Beautiful.

Hell, I even liked Jonas in these eps. And that takes a lot.

The sheer ingratitude of some people. Sheesh.

Danny's back. Danny's back! Danny's back!

And like you mentioned earlier today, Jack's reaction was one of exuberance by Jack standards.

And his smile, at the end. Beautiful.

They go off to have a celebratory meal, for heaven's sake. What could be better than that?

I'm a little ticked off by this. Can you tell?

*Smooch*

Ticked off? No, hadn't noticed *g*

And it was fun watching it with you *g*
Even if we are an hour apart it was still satisfying to have one to discuss it with while watching ^_^

And yes, I liked Jonas too - he and Daniel make out one magnificent Geek Squad LOL

Ok, I've only seen three episodes of SG, but I thought Jack looked pretty damn delighted. No, really. In a goofy 3rd grader kind of way, anyway.

BTW, is Jack always that amusingly snarky? I might have to watch this more often if that's the case.

Jack 'Snarky' O'Neill

[identity profile] ximeria.livejournal.com 2003-06-14 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Snarky? Well, he used to be, before they took Daniel away from him. We missed out witty Colonel in season 6. He never did have the same chemestry with the rest of the team, and he managed to withdraw quite a bit after Daniel 'died'.

Oh, you need to watch more. You need to watch from season 1 and up, especially season 2 and 3, they bring us some of the most hilarious moments, especially between Jack and Daniel, but their relationship also sets the tone for the entire team. Sam becomes more flexible, more witty, and Teal'c's strange sense of humor fits right in *g*

I've been thinking a great deal about this myself. My first reaction to Meridian was similar in that I felt the interactions with Jack/Daniel fell a little short, but after becoming more familiar with Meridian, I felt ~extremely~ differently. This time, their interactions are complicated by the fact Daniel is amnesiac!

They're men. They're emotionally restrained when it comes to expressing their feelings toward one another, and this whole situation is very awkward with a lot of extenuating circumstances.

For now, I'll be happy Daniel is back, and I'll read as much as always into their gazes, choppy dialogues, and expressions. =D

SUBtext

[identity profile] ximeria.livejournal.com 2003-06-14 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
That's the idea of SUBtext. I don't like having it handed on a platter. I like the little touches, the banter, the looks, the whole thing.

So yeah, I'll settle for all the little things -- after all they're what makes life worth living ^_~

Yes! FINALLY! ::begins bouncing:: DANIEL! DANILE DANIEL DANIEL!

Ahem. Sorry, can you tell I'm still riding my season premiere high? ::grin::

Anyway, I so agree with you guys. I, personally, am not as interested when slash is handed to me on a silver platter with accompanying handcuffs and lube. I mean, what's the point, right?

Anyway, yes. ::bounce:: Daniel! And Jack! Daniel/Jack! ::dies a happy slasherchick's death:: I thought what they had was WONDERFUL. "You kept all this stuff when you thought I was dead?" "I may not remember everything...but I remember enough."

On a related note....was anyone else feeling the Jonas/Teal'c vibe? Or was that something I missed in the massive amounts of the last season I missed for some reason or other...?

There were definite Jonas/Teal'c moments, but yes, you'd do yourself a favor by checking out season 6 -- there is, well, maybe not total sparkage, but there's warmth between them, perhaps partly because Teal'c knows what it's like to be an alien on Earth, to be exiled from one's home, branded a traitor.

And YEEEHAAAAW -- we get the orginal team back! *g*

Hell Yeah!

"You kept all this stuff when you thought I was dead?" "I may not remember everything...but I remember enough."

I melted. I was at a Party--a room filled with about 15 VERY different people, most of whom has never even SEEN the series...I just had to sit and curl my toes quietly with a big silly grin on my face, making eye-contact with the three folks in the room who knew I was reading subtext...*LAUGHS*

YAY!!!

I loved that so many people who had never even seen it before were cheering right along side me. Too Cool.

*sigh*

No one gets left behind.

What a great show.

I agree with you: considering the dangerous looks (!) Daniel gave Sam when she tried to touch him, Jack would've landed on his ass if he'd tried a hug. Hell, the guy was radiating "don't touch me" the entire two hours. I would have preferred Daniel moving in with Jack, but I can see why that didn't happen - he didn't really know who Jack was, and I'm guessing with the amnesia and descending thing, Hammond and Fraiser would've wanted him to stay on base.

Jack didn't have to say anything to show his happiness. After a year of him looking increasingly exhausted and bitter... Everything was right there.

I don't think I'm the only one who, with Jack's "I don't want any witnesses" line, thinks he grabbed one errant Daniel by the overalls and hauled him in for a kiss, right?

Exactly!

No! You can count the rest of us in on that one.

Yes, I'm with you on the idea that Jack looked happy -- as happy as you'll see a Jack O'Neill who's grown increasingly distant be. We'll never have the Jack back we saw in Serpent's Lair again. After what they've all been through, how can they ever stay the same? It's what I love about the show. Cause and consequence when it comes to the characters...

Makes you wonder why the people on the lists don't get it -- when most people here in LJ-land DO *g*

So I'm NOT the only one who looked at Jack during S6 and saw him grow more more tired, bitter and resigned with each episode?

To me, the man's heart broke when he let Daniel go. Daniel's back, yes, but he's not who he was, things will not be the same, and it still takes time to heal. Given what MS said at Fan Odyssey, I'm looking forward to seeing how Jack and Daniel rebuild their...well...relationship.

No, trust me, you're NOT the only one -- there are a few of us who caught on to that. And I can't really follow people when they say RDA can't act... I don't know if it was put there on purpose, but yes, Jack definitely changed a LOT during season 6, and I can't wait to see them rediscover their friendship either.

As much as Jack bitched about Daniel before he died, he needs Jackson to balance his own personality and whether or not Jack consciously KNOWS that, who knows? But we've seen the evidence all through the seasons.

HA HA HA HA HA !!!

I squealed, pointing at the screen from my position on the floor--looked up to see Daniel and Bill and Mark nodding and laughing "near me"...

Yeah. Oh YEAH.
