I've just recently started watching SG-1 and it rocks. I'm pretty much stuck in the Limbo Zone of having to watch the re-runs, never quite being able to tell if this episode occured before the last one, or after it- and just who is that guy anyway?
I'm a little curious about something that is really pretty irrelevant, but I figured I'd go ahead and make it relevant anyway.
Now, as far as I can figure from the way I'm putting this together is that the show began with the credits like so:
Richard Dean Anderson
Stargate
Michael Shanks
Amanda Tapping
Christopher Judge
Then, in season 6, Daniel is, of course, gone for the most part. First question: Was Michael written out of the season on purpose? I mean, was that planned, or was there some sort of jazz off scene that got him ascended on-screen? I mean, I really can't imagine some writers saying, "Hey, let's write out the cool character!" "Great idea! We'll take the cool character out of the show." "Good thinking." (Not to take anything away from the other characters; which are also obviously cool).
Anyway. So, after being replaced by What's-His-Name for a season, Michael is now back on-screen full time- but wait! Something has happened with the credits:
Richard Dean Anderson
Stargate
Amanda Tapping
Christopher Judge
Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson
Now Michael has gone from plain, old "Michael Shanks" to "Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson".
So, what happened? Anyone? Am I missing something?
Just in case you're reading this and thinking, "Man, this guy needs to chill out on the interwoven complexities of his own fevered imagination", then check this out:
Jack O'Neill...
Daniel Jackson...
Jack's son...
Hmm...
