Hi all! Missed you all!

Was watching the episode Fallout, and was surprised Jack got away with what I would call a mild swear word. Hehe, I've led a sheltered life lol! I even had to look up quotes as I thought I hadn't heard right.

While re watching SG1 I really liked jonas this time round and thought Corin was a very good actor. Shame he couldn't have stayed in the series.

i don't remember fallout, i have to rewatch it in order to make a comment..
but about corrin, i agree. i've written it somewhere before; despite my sympathy to daniel jackson, i did not miss him in 6th season (it was 6, right?) because jonas definitely filled his character perfectly, did not try to copy shanks, he was a peaceful and smart member of the team.. i believe he is a great actor as shanks is..and definitely attractive with those cute dimples..

I also didn't miss Daniel in the 6th season. Jonas was a great part of the team and the story line was coherent. I've never seen him as a substitute for Daniel Jackson.
Great picture xena.

Concerning Fallout - sorry, I've got not much memory, because that was an episode with not much Jack in it. Wink

I think this little sequence is what the OP is referring to:

infact daniel was a very interesting character. the writers could have done more interesting things about him. intellectual, smart, sensitive.. i was very impressed when o'neill shot the robot girl (replecators creator) and daniel cried.. for me, the only negative thing about daniel jackson (indeed michael shanks) was that he talked too rapidly, i had to relisten to some of his explanations..

I suppose that's what I mean. Daniel was a great character, though not always written as interestingly as they could have.

I've forgotten, who said that - Jack about Daniel or Rick about Michael. Anyway, he said that he cannot even think as fast as Daniel/Michael talks. Laughing

I watch the episodes with English subtitles, because I want to understand everything. I don't need them to understand Rick, but Michael is really a challenge for foreigners.

Personally I didn't want to show the quote as I know all ages access the forum.
The reason I think I didn't see most of season 7 was when it was airing over here the first time. The station was bought and taken off the air, then by the time it was put back on, no Jack. And vala and cam were there. Like others said here Jonas ( from watching from a new perspective now) had a calmness and more empathy than Daniel.

The early interpretion of Daniel I liked. Then he seemed that he was talking down to or patronising the group.

Was there a reason at the time why Corin couldn't stay on?

Also I have watched the last episode, mostly because Amanda said at a con Sam and Telc were meant to be an item. There's subtle and there's not a blip.

Are you refering to the quote Chantal posted? What's wrong about that? Well, as English isn't my first language, "to dick around" has maybe also other meanings than "to waste time". Or is something else the problem? Question

I don't think kids will be influenced that much by one word.... they use much, much worse words on a daily basis.... Laughing

I think it's the word "dick", which is slang for a man's private bit Wink

I'm late to the conversation, so I'm backing it up a bit. I like Corin as well and wished he could have stayed. Was glad they brought him back to tell more of the story of his planet.

But, one of my favorite Daniel moments was when SG1 was going to give the planet the 'heavy water' to help end their war and he says something along the lines of: "Is that the right way to get their technology - yes; but is it the right thing to do?" That whole episode is so good for making us think about blindly supporting someone because you met them first and heard their side of the story. It's a lesson that's taken me a long time to learn!
