Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, but she'd have swung them, given the slightest provocation.

Ah, but would she have swung you ?

You're assuming she didn't, aren't you?

It might explain some things if she had...

My mother explains everything, though she'd like to deny it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now I'm gettin' the jones to rewatch my SN DVDs for, like, the fourth time in a row.
Been rewatching the Sam eps. Love Sam. Had to watch The Cut Man Cometh just for Danny angst. And the fact that the Cut Man cracks me up.
Skipping right over any scenes that deal with the Dating Plan.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
You speak true of Sam. I didn't know until I'd seen half the eps or so that Bill Macy and Felicity Huffman are married.
Also wordity word on the Dating Plan

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre
Anyway, I can see Abyss-Daniel as an extension of real traits he's always had, and showed more and more as the series went on. He always thinks he knows best. It's not unusual for him to choose abstract over personalized morality - look at Scorched Earth, where he's willing to advance the argument that maybe the folks on the ground should be left to die because the germ cells in the sky are the last of their kind, and gee, they're awfully *advanced*, aren't they?
It's really interesting cause I saw the thing with Scorched Earth as Jack tending to be pretty humanocentric, favouring the right to live for guys who look like him. And the protectiveness thing of course, the people on the ground were people he was responsible for.
You've made me think. My profound loathing of Abyss is much more a thing with regard to TV in general, I just get so tired of every super-powerful group or individual that can remotely be considered good, being all Prime Directivey, even when there are superpowerful bad guys intervening for all their worth. There are a ton of interesting things you can do with the super-powerful not evil or ambigiuos characters and every TV show seems to do the exact same thing.
But then Stargate actually has a pretty clear explanation of why these guys are freaked about intervening, so I could be being a little unfair.

Oooh. I saw Abyss at the start of my interest in SG1, and therefore understood nothing. I think it's on next week on local syndication.
I'm way curious now.
