Daniel led SG-1?

[hsapiens]

My SG-1 Season 10 DVDs just arrived!!! Has anyone else read the back blurbage? It says:

"And now, in Season 10, the team, led by Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), embarks on their ultimate adventure."

I know that some people think Michael Shanks and Ben Browder look a lot alike but that's odd. And the cover stars Sam's breasts. Sometimes it's good to be reminded why it was time to call it quits on the show. :|

Okay - understanding your love of the character, can I ask a question re: the finale?

What was your take on the pre-smoochy conversation/confrontation between Daniel and Vala?

Hated, hated, hated. That wasn't the Daniel I know and love. What I love about Daniel, other than his being an archaeologist, is that he is able to deal with extreme provocation and take his ego out of the situation. That was not the Daniel I know and love. To be truthful, though, I haven't seen much of that Daniel in later seasons -- just as I didn't see my much loved Sam or Jack in later seasons. Only Teal'c was reasonably consistent though I tend to think that's due to neglect of the character.

Also? As a woman, I find the "no, no, no, YES!" message of the scene to be consistent with the Boys at Bridge's complete ignorance of gender issues.

Heh. Thank you for the perspective. I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing - and couldn't decide whether my abhorrence to it was due to my predisposed character leanings or not. :)

I know some Daniel fans liked it but I was aghast, appalled, astonished, horrified, stunned...well, you get the idea. It was pure crap in my opinion.

Amen!
