Okay, new to the discussion. New to the board, in fact. Sorry if I'm just reapeating anything anything, but I've just basically read the last few pages and that's about it.
I've been watching the series on and off for the past five years up until about last year when I became obsessed. It had always been the J/D bits that drew me towards to show, even before I discovered slash. I think it was rewatching season two episodes that got me into the fandom and I really miss the good old days. Their friendship has been pushed onto the back burner, leaving a lot of things unresolved. Season Seven was a bit of disappointment, but Eight was definitely worse, though I haven't quite reached the end of it.
Fragile Balance was my biggest disappointment. It had the potential to be a great J/D episode, but I don't think Daniel and Jack really talk to each other at all. For instance, during the scene Sam and Teal'c are teasing mini-Jack in the comissary, Daniel is nowhere to be found. Or when they find mini-Jack fishing Daniel pushes off the responsibilty of explaining the fact he's a clone off on Sam. Where is Daniel during all of this? It seems like he'd be the first to want to poke fun at Jack's age. The only saving grace is the one part where Jack catches Daniel in his underwear drawer.
