It's probably harder to make the connection without the Rastafarian Leprechaun accent.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Another big thank you to ita for the Stargate sale link. I am currently reveling in the Nox and loving every minute of it.
That's right. I said it. I heart the Nox. That's the way I roll.

bonny, have you not watched SG-1? You have lots of fun ahead of you! Plus, the awesomeness that is Teal'c. And, eventually, Cameron Mitchell, the ultimate SG-1 fanboy.

bonny, have you not watched SG-1?
Oh no, I totally have. It's just that my love is so pure, I can watch it over and over.
Since it's been off rotation on Hulu, I haven't seen it in a while. Soooo. I'm squeeing over the dvds.

I fell into watching SG-1 because Theodosia stayed with me one weekend and had to see the current episode, which was some season 6 thing with Jaffa and Tok'ra. It was entirely impenetrable to me, but somehow that got me interested (possibly Jack O'Neill was hot) and I started watching the SciFi reruns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jack O'Neill remains the only male character who can compete with Dean Winchester in terms of me loving them through even when they write the character inconsistently, because he's just *so*...so very when written probably.
In my head, they spend lots of time together--if not our O'Neill, maybe his younger clone.
Oh, my. I had not followed that thought through properly. This might preoccupy me more than Dean/Stiles just was.

Heh. I loved the young O'Neill like pancakes.
Right now, I'm watching the episodes with the Tolan and Nareem. Mmmm. Nareem.
Ahem. Anyway.
If I had to pick my very favorite regular, it would have to be Daniel.
Imagine my disappointment that Shanks' new show is, so far, so bad.
He did do a great turn on "Endgame", a series I was sad to see canceled. I think you can still catch it on Hulu.

I liked Daniel well enough, since so much of the first seasons is his show, but I felt he got smug after season 6, and basically his character arc stumbled to a halt after his return. After that he just seemed to be treading water, since he'd been positioned as The Seeker, and seemed to run out of things to seek.
(He was also damned hard to write, I found--much harder than O'Neill.)

I can't disagree.
Though, I did like him in the episodes where he was an apparition. When he carried the Lifeboat souls. When he held Vala when the Or'i were torturing her. When he yelled at Vala for teasing him because she was bored.
Um. Well. I guess I am a bit of a fan.
