Yesterday I started my holiday with making screencaps of the original Stargate movie. I'm trying to tell the story as compact as possible but including the details that return in the series.

So far I've noticed a couple of things:

1. Whoa, there are a lot of details that come back in the series!
2. I'm still finding movie Daniel sexy as hell but it doesn't quite come across in screencaps. That's something he has in common with series Daniel. I'm guessing with Daniel it's in the subtle movements.
3. There's no chemistry between movie Daniel and movie Jack. The potential for it is all there; the conflicting way they look at things, the way they learn to appreciate each other. It's in the writing, it's in the acting, it's just not in the combination of Kurt and James.
4. I'm finding it very hard to restrict my caps the moment Kasuf is in the picture; I love that man so damn much, and every cap I make of him is so expressive!
5. Movie Sha'uri convinces me completely, every time. I believe in the immediate bond between her and Daniel. I believe in the way she convinces the guys to stand up against their oppressors.
6. I'm 3/4 into the movie and I've already got 73 caps; you'll be happy to know I plan on using lj-cut. (I'm not even sure it'll all fit in one entry...)

thanks so much! i adore movie Sha're, and one of the things that made me so sad about the series in hindsight was the way they immediately sacrificed the character to make it into a pure buddy show. the movie was, too, of course, but sha're became a plot device in the series, while in the movie she was this VITAL PERSON.

:(.

the Jack/Daniel I love began in the sandstorm, IMHO. That scene where they're collapsing during the escape from Ra, and Jack goes back to protect him when h e falls. And of course the "My orders were simple." scene. That's where I begin to see chemistry.

I actually love RDA a bunch more than KR, tho I love Shanks and Spader equally.

Can't wait to see what you do here. LOVE YOU.

Ok, now I have to go check the movie again, because I thought it was Jack who fell and Daniel going back for him...

Anyway, the one moment for me when I felt there was chemistry between Jack and Daniel (in the movie) is when Daniel asks Jack if he will be all right. I love how Jack looks pleasantly surprised that Daniel would care at all, and after giving it some though coming up with yeah, he thinks he'll be all right actually. That was a lovely moment.

But Richard Dean Anderson... Ah, he made my Jack. And the chemistry between series Jack and Daniel is just wow...

So yeah, you were right about it being Daniel who fell... I always thought I heard Daniel shout 'Jack!', but it's Jack shouting 'Jackson!'. Huh... Bloody noisy sandstorm...
