butterfly: (Who We Are - Daniel (by destina))

Different subject -- our official roommate count for VividCon is up to three now. Which means paying 1/3 instead of 1/2 for the rooms. That's always nice. And I'm really looking forward to it. There were a healthy number of Stargate vids on the dvds for last year's con, so there'll be some this year, I bet. And since I actually watch the show now, then that'll be many more vids that I'll understand on first viewing. Yay!

Okay, what's up with the credits? As in, there are credits in first season, but not in fifth. Is this just my dvd set or are there no fifth season credits? Also, people, this is what happens when I can't sleep.

Not to knock her, but Sam has sucky taste in men.

Also, what's wrong with shooting him in the leg? Or shoulder? Or someplace non-lethal? Shooting to kill was not your only option, Sam.

Daniel rocks the bandana look. Mmm. He's highly adorable. As I said to my mom, Benton Fraser's still more beautiful, but Daniel is definitely cuter.

So, I figured out part of what I love about Daniel and Jack -- it's kinda like Wesley and Angel, only not actually totally fucked before it even starts.


I think that Dr. Fraiser looks prettier in Season Five. Though she is very pretty in S1.

That Chosen chick who married Jack is also very pretty.

Old Jack's mean. He made her cry. Bad Old Jack.

I adore these people's clothes. Flowy and in very nice colors.

Oh, and I do enjoy the message of this episode. Use well the days.


Okay, this episode was written by Jeff King. Would that be the same Jeff King that's done... um. Something. In Buffyverse. Can't remember what. But it's something.

Ooo. A 'find out about Jack' episode. Cool.

Hee. Crystal!Jack is amusing. "I think you just did." He's so... tabula rasa.

Charlie was a really cute kid.

Interesting episode, no doubt.


Aw... Daniel's so cute in myth-mode. And Jack's cute translating him

Ooo. We meet the grey guy in this episode. Cool.

Daniel really does have a hair-trigger when it comes to the Gou'uld and their things. Makes sense, considering.

"So in a couple hundred years, we'll be free." I love Jack.

Oh, I love Daniel and his love for Sha're. So sweet.

Ouch. Ouch. That Jack gives it to Daniel to do. That's a big ouch. He didn't have to do that.

Aw... no grey guy. Too bad. I liked him. When do we meet 'Thor'?


So, it seems to me that Daniel's ascension is what Cordy's appeared to be on first glance.

Daniel gets the non-ME'd version of ascension, wherein it isn't all a trick. And yet, he still finds that it doesn't suit him. 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.

If Daniel's story had ended there, it would have been saying something entirely different than what we ended up getting.

Of course, it seems that there were hints all along that that couldn't be the end -- Orlin's a big one. There are, I believe, three Daniel episodes in Season Six. In the first two, he appears for his friends in times of need, perhaps simply to reassure them that he's still there for them. On the other hand, it sounds like there was a huge hint in Abyss that Daniel did interfere by helping Teal'c 'realize' where Jack was. In Full Circle, he flat-out breaks the rules, choosing trying to help his people over the guidelines that Oma set. She pulls him off of Abydos, possibly (I'm unsure of this point) descending him.

Much as people speculated at the time that Cordy might have gotten kicked out because she interfered when Angel's destiny and life were at stake.

I think that I just have your first name.

I'm so thrilled about this whole going to another city and meeting people who enjoy the same things I do. The sheer number of people going! The idea of seeing vids with a whole bunch of other people! Did I mention the other people who also enjoy fandom thing? And I get to room with the creator of one of my favoritest vids in any fandom.
