I've started watching the 5th season of SG-1. Some small observations and 2 screencaps:
My youngest considered himself damn lucky that we weren't watching the series in real time, but could cut from the cliff hanger of season 4, straight to season 5. He was very anxious about Teal'c. I'm glad we didn't get a lot of torture this time, because there'd been a bit too much for of that, specifically for Teal'c, in some of the past episodes, and I feared we'd get more of that.
A scene I was absolutely delighted with was Daniel getting Jack to talk about what had happened. The conversation started with Daniel asking if Jack wanted to talk about it, and Jack saying he rather didn't. And then he did all the same, with Daniel listening in such a quietly supportive way:
And then shortly after that the sweetly amusing scene where they're companionably bored together:
Where it comes to Daniel, Jack and Sam together, I just loved the way they fought the replicators; such a tight team! It was such a thrill watching them work together so smoothly. I've tried to cap that, but it doesn't work that way. It's the moving that's so brilliant.

samena asked me if I could point out "any really good Rodney/John kissing scenes", and to my utter frustration the only fic that comes to my mind with really good kissing is cesperanza's 'Three lovers', which has Rodney exactly the kind of kisser I believe him to be, but with Teyla. I love the fic to bits (also because Rodney/Teyla is second on my list of favorite SGA pairings), but it's not the Rodney/John kissing I'm looking for.
The SGA has some of the most amazing fics I've ever read, some of my favorite writers, and I can come up with lots of lists with touching scenes, banter scenes, kinky scenes etc, but when I think of good kissing, I think of Daniel/Jack, and Jim/Blair, and Dom/Elijah fics. Please prove me wrong!! Make me blush and go 'oh, how could I not have thought of that one!'
[edited June 24th, 2007] Turns out I found a couple of damn good sga kissing fics. You can find them here.

It was starting to feel forced, especially because I felt they were taking away some of the warmth between Jack and Daniel. The lack of warmth between Jack and Daniel felt forced too. I wonder this was all done intentionally. It was doubly good to see it come back again in the later episodes of season 4, and seeing it continued in season 5.
Somehow I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't come up with a lot of kissing fics for Rodney/John. And even the ones that do have some of that, are more memorable for other things. The fic you linked to is fantastic! But mostly for the way Atlantis is in it as a character and John's quietly amused, proud, fond and loving observation of Rodney; thanks for linking!

Date: 2006-11-27 05:05 pm (UTC)The J/D relationship, though, I have a different theory about. To me, they are each moving towards each other's point of view -- Daniel becoming more understanding that in some situations the military answer IS the answer, and Jack realizing that acting on his conscience rather than orders is the right thing to do. Yet they have their roles that they're supposed to play out, and it frustrates them. I think the arguments were sort of pro forma, so that they could say that they'd argued their side, and then went ahead and did what needed to be done. It was worst in The Other Side, when Jack was really fighting being the disobedient officer. But by Beast of Burden, he lets Daniel badger him into doing the right thing pretty easily.
Loving Rodney (because I do!) is adorable, isn't it?
