ikyrianDammit! They soooooooooo could have Jonas Quinn and Daniel Jackson on the same damn team! (I mean, don't they REALIZE the SLASH POTENTIAL???)The original team had FIVE members, so what's the problem now???? Grrrr. Dislike for Daniel increasing.
For those who don't know, I just saw the two hour season premiere of Stargate: SG-1, plus Stargate: The Lowdown (which was pretty damn funny BTW), and, honestly, I liked it. I liked the whole story, especially considering the whole Star Wars angle on the whole thing. It was a little predictable, but, hey, it wasn't all that bad. Hell, I even liked the preview they had for next week. (Which I think I'm going to miss, I hope to hell they tape it or it's on a later time tonight...)
And I'll be honest, I really did like Daniel in this incarnation. The ascension thing was interesting, but he was still a whiny-bitch (thus my hatred for Jack/Daniel slash, it's just way to damn predictable, like Jim/Blair slash. Ugh.). Jonas Quinn was, like, fifty times better (OK, so I'm exaggerating, but, I mean COME ON, didn't anyone else find Daniel annoying?), he followed the rules/command, was brilliant enough (going on stuff already done by DJ), and apparently has some type of phsyiologic anomaly about him. All of this is way cool, even if he is a little "Gary-Stu"-ish. Besides, it made for some really interesting slash potential, mainly Jack/Jonas. Of course, I'd slash Jack with anyone if I could figure an angle (but beyond Daniel, a pairing I DESPISE with UNHOLY PASSION, I could never figure out one), so none of it is really feasible. Until Jonas. And watching this premiere, a little spark was there b/w Jack and Jonas...along with Daniel and Jonas. Those two really kinda hit it off, and all the little looks they gave each other...ah, the possiblities. (Unless I'm being completely delusional, which is quite possibly the case.)
Of course, my dislike of Daniel could be because of the way he is generally portrayed in fanfiction. Either he's the guy who is a really, really whiny-bitch (mainly Jack's bitch, thus portraying my favorite character as a moronic NEANDERTHAL, when the man *has* to *have* SOME schooling to make it to COLONEL [dumbasses]) ~or~ he's "Super-Daniel" or a Daniel-Stu (something that's just so far from the norm, that he's not even Daniel anymore). He can save Jack's ass with a weapon expertly fired when he's never practiced with it in his life, leap tall buildings in a single bound without his glasses and still manage to get over it without hitting the damn thing, spout information about obscure ancient CHINESE cultures (which only true enthusiasts of the ancient Chinese cultures would know) when his specialty is EGYPT! He can translate Swahili without ever cracking a damn book or even learning the LANGUAGE! My God, the man is AMAZING! I want to have his baby RIGHT NOW!
*urge to kill fanficcy Daniel Jackson rising* Must...control...fist...of...death... Thus why I hate Daniel Jackson. While most of what I've said was just pulled out of my ass in respect to exactly what he can do (like I don't think it was Swahili, I think it was like some Native American language or something), I've seen all of those characteristics in stories. All of them. So, yes, I do not like Daniel Jackson. (I also really dislike the whole Jack/Sam(antha for those who don't know), again it's too obvious. If you're going to give me het, give me somehthing strange and out there like Jack/Janet [wait, I don't think that's so strange...])
Ok, ok enough with ranting about why I don't like Daniel. I'm pretty sure I've bored you enough...

Date: 2003-06-13 10:19 pm (UTC)I gotta agree with you on the general portrayal of fanon!Daniel. But, show Daniel and slashed!Daneil written by competent people? Is really flawed, interesting and nuanced. (and hot. the hotness is important in slash. *nodsnods*) And there is a very small but quite worthwhile segment of Jack/Daniel stories that have both of them as complicated, fallible adults, and I love love love them. So, yes. Long story short, I only read SG-1 slash I find on other people's reccomendation pages, and so am perfectly happy in the fandom. *g*
I never took to Jonas, though. Possibly because all I've ever seen that actor play on other shows was an oily evil guy.
I think there should be more Teal'c/Jonas slash. Or Teal'c *any*one (well, except Br'atac and General Hammond). That man is fiiiine.
