this pertains to episode 5.21 - Meridian - MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW...........
So when Daniel Jackson is ascending/dying, and he's in the netherworld depiction of that and Jack is about to watch him go through the 'stargate', Jackson is standing before the gate and Jack is watching from down the ramp. It was a moment of tv magic. But I kept saying to myself, "say it, say it, just say it already!" thinking I knew how Jackson would say goodbye to O'Neil. But he simply walked through w/o saying anything else, and that was it! I was flabbergasted, what a missed oppportunity!
What I'm talking about is symmetry. In the Stargate movie, what are the famous last words spoken by O'Neil before stepping through the final wormhole back home? "See you around... Dr. Jackson".
So now with the situation flip-flopped, I *assumed* the writer's would recognize a moment of potential brilliance and have Jackson say to O'Neil, "See you around... Col. O'Neil".
But he didn't!
I was shocked. It was a fabulous episode, but how could they miss such an obvious opportunity for things to come full circle????
anyone agree?
