This is only a spoiler if you don't know the guest stars.
I just love the fact that Jack's love for Daniel is so canon that nobody felt the need to try to explain what Jack was doing at the SGC. He was just there.
My uncontrollable jealousy towards anyone who has already seen the Shroud is just...all consuming. Lucky lucky you!
I knew we were getting a Jack Attack for the episode, and I had been worried that it would be handled, um...poorly. I'll take this post as a good sign!
Frankly, at this point, if Jack and Daniel are in the same scene, and they're both awake (in the sense of the actors paying attention), and they're actually talking to each other like they like each other then, honestly, the plot could be that tiny alien dust mote beings have risen a great and terrible army and are invading the SGC through the ventilation shafts to seek vengeance for years of mistreatment and genocidal use of Dirt Devils, and I would be juuuuust fine.
It was a *terrific* episode (available on Youtube, but with awful headers making it difficult to find)! I have a feeling Nialla's Breadbox Noromos will be very happy, as will all us j/d folks. It could so easily have been seen as straight (literally) friendship or, if you've got the kink, such lovely slashy goodness!
So. Much. Love. SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!! Daniel just plucks him out of the SGC and takes him on an adventure! We needed, like, eight billion more episodes like this in s9-10. *sigh*
All those episodes where Jack was never even mentioned, and then we get this, where his presence is completely taken for granted. Daniel turned Prior? Better leave an extra seat available at the briefing room table!
Wake up sleepyhead! rkjglrdkgjldkghdlg ...Howm uch do I love the interents right now? And the UK peeps for putting up torrents of the epsiodes, ESPECIALLY this one?! SQUEE! omg love love. Def. won't get back to sleep now. I found the torrent of this and it downlaoded before I fell asleep so I HAD to watch it and now I have like 3 or 4 hours until I ahve to get up...woops...lol
Oh and Jack was there a)because you know carter (or some one offical-y) called and said, "OMG, sir, they made Daniel a PRIOR omgwtfbbq!!!" and b)the head of homeworld security should def. be there when the fate of the galaxy is at stake because the head of hoemworld security's friend says to believe him. Heh. ...ok I swear I'll stop comment spamming now.
Too true, too true.... I just think a phonecall like that from Carter would be effing hilarious, heh. omg, if the producers could've seen me while watching this, I was squeeing up a storm and jumping aorund on my bed and FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I pet the monitor and said, "My jackie boy is back!" ...I'm officially NUTS.
And I *loved* Carter in this one!!!! She was dead perfect. Not a Super!Sam moment in sight. I especially loved: "Could you ask him how he cloaked the ship?" I could almost see her running through the systems trying to not only figure out how he did it, but, ahem, how to *UNDO* it. "General, about the Odyssey, there's this tiny little problem..."
DITTO!!!! I was thinkingthe same thing about undoing the cloak, LOL. I wonder if Daniel undid it before he went back to normal or if she'll eventually figure it out...Basically I wanna know how they're gonna explain it, LOL. But wasn't Daniel's shrug just *priceless*?!
The exchange between Carter and Landry might go something like this...
"Well, sir, there's nothing *wrong* with the ship, *exactly*."
"Why doesn't that fill me with confidence? Out with it, Colonel."
"We can't see it."
"It's in orbit. Of course you can't see it."
"No, I mean, we can't *see* it. It's cloaked."
"Colonel, if I recall the specs for the Odyssey, and I do, it doesn't have a cloak."
"*Didn't* have a cloak."
"Meaning..."
"Meaning Daniel, or more precisely, Merlin provided it with a cloak when they took the ship and now I can't figure out how to turn it off."
"Right. I'm sure you'll think of something. Besides, maybe having an invisible ship will be advantageous. We can maintain it with the invisible budget we're going to have once Woolsey gets through with us."
(I'm not sure if Sam was trying to turn the cloak off or was dying to turn it on. And I'm not going to go watch again to find out. Not. Not, not, not...)
Oh, yes. My love for this ep knows no bounds. (And it just might win for slashiest ep ever. Plus, there was an additional squee for me when Cam called Daniel "Sunshine," again).
