I *adored* the Jack and Daniel scenes mostly because they're what's been missing for me in the show. That relationship (in the gen sense, even ;-) is the core of the show. While I've enjoyed a lot of the post-Jack seasons, it's just not *there*, if that makes any sense.

That makes sense to me. I feel pretty much the same way. I loved season 9, but even then it was still all about Jack and Daniel to me (gen or slash *g*). In my own mind, I knew where Jack was and what he was doing for every episode, ever moment. *g*

I'm rather disconnected from season 10 and not enjoying it all that much.
