I mean, they're nice boys, just... odd and stalkery.
And then they die.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Poor Sam. So, Dana, we finally got you?
And what is it with the Daniel weirdness? It stands out particularly in contrast to RDA, who pretty much only ever gets dirty, that over and over again MS is doing the blotchy crying face, or the strung-out junkie face with the rolling eyes, or the... I can't think of my other examples. Did he have a dying-of-withdrawal face in the Light, too?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think he just laid around in The Light, mostly. Though, ooh, he did get to cry while about to leap off the balcony, but he didn't really pull out the histrionic face for that one.
Daniel is the Designated Whumpee, pretty much. As characters in his role tend to be. (Though RDA did give good pain-face in Solitudes.)

Uh, who me? These are not the droids you're looking for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't even remember Solitudes, but the idea of RDA's pain face breaks me.
It's why I love Cold Lazarus so.

Solitudes is the "it's an ice planet!" episode where Sam sets Jack's broken leg.

Ha! All Sci-Fi had to do was make Stargate something like 17% of their overall programming! (Well, it's probably not quite that high.)

Oh! Right.
Broken again, thanks.
And there's the one where robo!he has to stand and watch robo!Daniel get offed ...
I should stop.

*brightly* We could talk about Abyss, if you want to do Pain!Jack.

But that's the thing! Jack gets the noble, stoic pain. Sam gets the brave-front pain with hair tousle, somehow never dulling the spark in her eyes. Teal'c gets... slightly Teal'cier. Only Daniel gets the "Gee, how ugly can I make myself look?" bits. Which occasionally reminds me of the over-eager thespians I knew in high school.
Oh, and while there are some episodes when I think his old haircut was better (particularly the ones where he seems to have cut it moments before they started shooting), on the whole I'm glad the Prince Valiant look is gone.

Great. Random double post. There was no reason for that to happen.
Hey, when do we get to see Sam in an altered mind state? Jack's faked going bad for undercover work, Daniel's gotten addicted and mememe (twice), and Teal'c was brainwashed into worshipping Apophis for quite a number of episodes... when is it Sam's turn? Jolinar didn't even do much.
