Oh, the Cantina is almost as bad as Get Off. It's the transitions that send it over the top.
Poor Teal'c.
I can't wait to get home and look at Rhian's.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
So... he's sort of Mary Sue-like, in that he (alone of the AF personnel we've seen outside the SGC) gets to respond rationally rather than stereotypically to things.
I'm thinking he's more like a designated side-kick. You've got four leads. Every now and then one of them needs a side-kick.

Wow. I love Maybourne grinning over his shoulder with "scum and villainy". That was so cool.

Oh man, that was beautiful. Hee, hee. Jonas is one of the strangest creatures you've ever seen-a.

Aw, man. I totally never got the Daniel/Janet thing. All of a sudden the "You Must Love Me" vid's got me all weepy over it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh yeah. Poor Jonas. t snickers
Plus, Siler as R2D2! And Thor! And the expression on Daniel's face at "Luke's had a really lousy day" kills me. Oh! And the shot of Jack sprawled on the bed in the infirmary. Hee hee.
I totally never got the Daniel/Janet thing.
It's vaguely annoying when the shippers use it to pair him off with Janet so that Jack and Sam could be in twue wuv 4evah, but when I think about "Meridian", the one thing that hit me the hardest was Janet's reaction to Daniel's death. Ditto Daniel's to Janet's death in "Heroes". Plus, there were all that lovely bits between Janet and multiple-personality!Daniel from "Lifeboat", which I don't see personally as subtext-y but can be read that way if you are so inclined.
I have read a few decent Daniel/Janet fic. My favorite is probably cgb's Echoes of An Empty Place, which is set in 2010-verse. (Because I am so that episode's bitch.) I used to go, "OK, terrible, awful, slow-annihilation-of-species badness, but at least Daniel was alive in that universe.". Now Daniel's alive, but Janet is gone.
Damn, now I'm depressed. I really loved Janet.

Pam S., at Versaphile. "Dead" is really funny too.
Heh, heh. Those were funny -- that TMBG album is one of my favorites, so I particularly enjoyed Dead. And his head actually did fall off - ha!

I'm making notes for downloading when I get home tonight.
I'm dying to do a vid based around the "1969" episode to The Chocolate Watchband's "Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love In)" because what says Stargate more than authentic psychedelic rock?

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

Incidentally, MS and TR were putting in subtext for fun on purpose. So it's not entirely crazy.
Oh, hey, y'all should see IBS too.

Cool. How do you know this?
