Spoiler:No Daniel mentions him once very briefly in season 7. It's one of those sad dropped story lines so common in SG-1. I wouldn't have minded if they even just said he'd died at some point or something. As far as we know he's still off with the Giant Aliens.
I love those two episodes, too. My kids are sick of seeing Crystal Skull. (They just want to watch Urgo all the time.) We were at a rock store in the mall and they had these tiny little skulls made out of quartz and my girls and I were all staring into their eyes to see if they'd take us anywhere. Of course, it didn't work....(no pedestal, I guess.)

Hello All!! I am new to this thread. I have lurked on this one for a while and I am finally deciding to post. I spend most of my time over in the Daniel Thunking thread
My favorites from season three are Crystal Skull and Forever In A Day. I do admit though, it is tough to pick favorites since I believe season 3 to be the best season SG-1 ever had. I am slowly converting one of my friends to a Stargate fan. We watch an episode everynight when we work out and we are starting season 3 tonight. Very excited about that!!!sigpic

Non-spoilers for The Quest part II: it's the best Daniel ep since [the one where they went to Vala's goauld's homeworld] and possibly the best since Reckoning II. He's splendid, gets to do his mythology, thinking, derring do and...
okay, I've reached the limit of my non-spoiling abilitiesSpoiler:He even gets to act a little bit unhinged, something we got plenty of in earlier years but currently haven't seen since s7.
And you know that he's always wanted to get his head in one of those ancient head-suck things; or at least when the previous opportunity arose he was pretty much of the view that it would be not the worst type of death he'd ever experienced .
Apt that he should have it in his mind to control the device rather than vice versa; although he didn't quite manage it it's what the Daniel who fought Replicarter would have done.
Lovely scenes between Daniel, Vala and Cam, and although there was less opportunity for Sam and Teal'c to be part of Daniel's thread they were still involved. The scene where Vala and Cam argue over Daniel and Cam tells Vala that the hard part of the job is not to risk yourself but to see a friend risked, is just beautifully acted.
MS's acting is top notch throughout, which makes hte last scene even more chilling. He acts it so understated, as if he's got almost no feelings about his situation. He must be totally exhausted, totally without hope, or both.
Poor Daniel!

Spoiler:I thought it was a shame we never heard anything else about Nick. I guess he is still off with the Giant Aliens. There are so many things in Stargate that have only been mentioned once or twice and have fallen off the radar screen... Nick, the Reetou... I wonder whatever happened to the Nox after Pretense? So many things I wish they'd revisit, if even just for fun.
LOL @ your kids, Callista - that's cute I guess the pedestal does make the difference there

Sounds like a very good ep.
Spoiler:Sounds like some nice Daniel/Cam friendship there, which imo was long overdue. I'm disappointed that Sam and Teal'c don't seem to do much. Did either of them have any interaction whatsoever with Daniel?

It was a marvellous episode....what was great was the calibre of ALL the actors....absolutely "top notch" through and through....

Like he lied to Vala about not knowing the Prometheus's security codes. Daniel can lie lie through his teeth when the situation calls for it.

spoilers for eps that follow Quest pt II
Spoiler:

I am with you poundpuppy
Spoiler:It will be very interesting to find out exactly how she turns him. The episode was good on so many levels. Sam punching Ba'al might be the highlight!!! Well and any scene with Daniel of course
Can't wait to watch it again tonight when I get home from work!!Last edited by Madeleine; 10 January 2007, 09:32 PM.sigpic

spoilers for eps that no one has seen yet cos they've not been broadcast.
Spoiler:Can't wait to see what happens with Adria and him becoming a prior, and getting him back, oh the angst
It was nice to see a bit of Cam/Daniel friendship and he finally called him "Daniel" wonder if he'll keep that up?
I so hope Sky One get the airing order right cos if they show The Bounty next week it won't make sense........Last edited by Madeleine; 10 January 2007, 09:34 PM.

I can't wait to see how this storyline develops.

Spoilers for Quest 2
Spoiler:I think the way Vala acted in this episode was awesome. You can tell that she truly cares, if not loves, Daniel very much. I have said it before, just not in here, but I think the way she was acting was very reminiscent of how Sam acted when Jack was "lost"! Can't wait to see that play out!!!Last edited by Madeleine; 10 January 2007, 09:35 PM.sigpic

Okay I gotta ask this (think I might have asked on another thread too but was wondering what people thought)...
spoilers for The Quest Part 2
Spoiler:Didn't get to watch it yet but I read a transcript. Vala and Cam weren't the only ones who seemed worried/upset about Daniel, were they? I'd hope that, even after Daniel had died/gotten hurt quite a few times over the years, that Teal'c and Sam would be worried about their friend as well.
I'm probably making too big a deal over it but I'm a bit uncomfortable with the possibility that Vala may be the only one who cares enough about Daniel to be upset over what happened to him.

Spoiler:No, you could tell that Sam is upset at the end. I think the difference is the fact that it becomes quite apparent about Vala's true feelings for Daniel in this episode. I think that Sam and Teal'c have seen Daniel disappear and re-appear so many times that they just have hope and figure he will come back. Cam and Vala haven't seen it as many times as the other two have.sigpic
