Aw... no grey guy. Too bad. I liked him. When do we meet 'Thor'?
Second season. He doesn't develop the crush on Jack until S3, though.
Now, in Season Five, I just recently watched Red Sky and at the end of it, said to myself re: Daniel -- "Wow, that's a man looking for religion." So far, he's seems vastly disillusioned in S5, yet, despite that, he wants to believe. This may be why he embraced what Oma offered, because he was looking for something to believe in.
Well, that and he didn't want to die, but yes. Absolutely. He gets religion in Meridian, and when you first see him in Abyss he's filled up with it--he's so happy doing what he's doing, he can't imagine doing anything else, he's committed to the rules he has to follow. He might have helped Teal'c come up with the solution to the how-to-rescue-Jack problem, but it's unclear, and he strongly denies it when Jack asks.
Then we get Changeling, where he seems less happy, more homesick (Daniel to human-Teal'c, a little wistfully: "Self-preservation is a powerful instinct.") and Full Circle, where he gives up completely on the rules, partly at Jack's urging.
We never get a real answer as to whether he was kicked out or chose to leave. The characters all assume kicked out. MS has said in interviews that the backstory he discussed with the writers was that there would've been some sort of a trial thing and Daniel chose to come back. *shrug* So you can interpret it however you want, at this point.
