I really do adore this show. It delights me and I'm happy to let it do so. But what I keep coming back to, over and over, is the fascinatingly complex yet simple connection between Daniel and Jack. That two people can be so different and yet so often on the same wavelength is something that I really love seeing. I love it when the connection is subtle and I love it when it's overt as all hell. I love that they can make each other regress to the age of five when they argue.
I loved the closed symmetry of Daniel and Jack's losses. In Season Three, Daniel almost loses Jack to a Goa'uld symbiote. Later that season, he does lose Sha're because of her symbiote. Jack almost loses Daniel via ascension and does lose Skaara that way. It feels like an odd balancing of the scales. Then the way the Abydonians are killed and yet not killed feels almost necessary because both Jack and Daniel have lost their personal connection to Abydos, because they don't need it as an intermediary any more. They are each other's personal connection.
But this isn't about that. It's about Daniel.

I really want the second half of season eight to start. I need more Stargate!
On a side note, I've once again stopped my attempts to watch Farscape. Every time that I try to get into the show, the John/Aeryn stuff stops me cold. And Farscape... depresses me, to be honest. It feels like such a dark, lost universe. I can't see the light. I just can't see the hope. I... need that more than I thought I did.
