The Jack O'Neill/Daniel Jackson slash and friendship thread
I love shots of any of the four principals goofing about together, there's that fab one of MS, CJ and AT on the sofa and one of RDA hugging AT as though she's a little kid. And that new one of Ben B going to lick CB's arm.
I'd love to know what RDA and MS are giggling about, they look like a pair of naughty school boys.
What I like about Jack and Daniel's relationship (as opposed to RDA and MS) is all the layers of complexity in there. Daniel filled, not completely but to some degree, the void left in Jack's life by the loss of his family. Jack was the annoying big brother/dad that Daniel needed. They are very different, in almost every way, in their political views, their life experiences, their moral stance.
Jack and Teal'c have the mutual warrior bonds.
Jack and Sam have the commander/subordinate/mentor/student thing.
Sam and Daniel have the mutual respect of fellow scientists (plus the fabulous Science Twins)
Teal'c and Daniel have a complicated friendship which has grown out of pain (Shar'e and her abduction and death)
Jack and Daniel, on the surface, have so little in common but the magic is there right from the film, right from the start. They drive each other to distraction. There are times when I'm not sure how much they like each other. But I never doubt for a moment, how much they love each.
In what ever way you interprete that. http://forum.gateworld.net/newreply....eply&p=5359475

Great post. I love your line that sometimes they might not like each other very much but they do still love one another.

Well, I think that's true of Jack and Sam and Sam and Daniel at times too. Teal'c is too zen, it all washes over him but when you are as close as this team is, they are bound to get on each others nerves.
Your true friends are the people who you have found out what annoys you about each other and you love each other anyway.
Could they look any more guilty?
Taken out of context it so looks like they just got caught short in Jack's office by an unexpected meeting in the conference room.
Oooooops, that's the cat well out of the bag.
FF, back from an inpromptu weekend in Wales, still a bit sandy, salty and sunburned in spite of factor 25 sun block.
