but they have no concept of why they were asking, nor what "banter" really means. It was like someone trying to copy a piece of art without seeing it, just being told what it looked like.

*g* You're right, really. I've long since given up on hoping for any truly meaningful scenes on this show--especially not between Jack and Daniel. I still loved their interaction because I've been starved of it for so long. *g*

But this is the show that gave us a flag scene instead of any type of meaningful interaction--not only between Jack and Daniel, but between Daniel and everyone else.

This is the show that gave Daniel memory loss so that his homecoming to the show would be anti-climatic and instead of using that storyline to do anything interesting and meaningful with the characters--the story of how they got used to each other again and re-learned how much they meant to each other--it ignored the entire scenario except for a few brief moments when it was convenient. *g*

So Jack and Daniel in the same place and actually talking to each other? Hair ruffles? *g* I don't care. I'll take it. *g*
