Commenting as I watch...
So Maybourne is the king?
Wow, what a surprise. Not.
And the stupid comments by Sam and Teal'c? Did they really think no one had figured out what was going on by the first mention of the word king?
The good thing:
1) The look between Jack and Daniel when the name Maybourne first came up. There's a history, that much is sure. Daniel knows that Jack fucked Maybourne in season 6, when they were stranded on that moon. And of course he isn't still angry about that, being sort of dead at the time, plus the whole "never seeing earth again having eaten alien drugs" thing that made Jack do it in the first place.
But the look?
Oh yes, some things you just don't forget.
2) Maybourne saying "Good for Jack, nice to hear he is doing so well for himself", and then giving Daniel that look. (notice Daniel's reaction, too). He knows. I bet he figured it out right away when he and Jack fucked for the first time. I can see that conversation, it went something like this:
//Jack and Harry, more or less undressed, on the ground in front of the lake//
"Why Jack, and here I thought you were the poster boy for the straight, american male. Didn't know you like to take it up the ass."
"Shut up Maybourne, and do it already, I don't have all day."
" Impatient, are you? Now, I wonder who you were fucking back home? That guy you first went offworld with, what's his name, Kawalsky? Hmm, no. Maybe Mr. Gay Liason to the Pentagon Davis? No one from your own team, not even you would do that, unless... of course! You were doing Dr.Jackson! Good choice, Jack, I have to say. I bet he's lovely when he is down on his knees, glancing up at you with his big blue eyes behind the long lashes, asking to be your bitch..."
Here endeth our little sex scene, because Jack got up and knocked Maybourne out for talking about Daniel that way, hell, for daring to put the name Daniel in his mouth. After that, there was no chance denying it, and Maybourne was generous and forgave Jack for knocking him out, so they had sex eventually.
Anyway, back to the episode.
Daniel is cute and I really like him better with glasses.
Oh, they found a puddlejumper! How very cool!
Though Sheppard would laugh his ass off hearing Sam call it "ship."
And Jack is offworld!
*is in love*
And while we are at it, I bet that episode is filmed in the same spot as Paradise Lost. It's exactly their kind of humor to do something like that.
Just like the musicians to welcome Jack. *falls down laughing*
Btw, pay attention to Daniel's belly in that scene, where he is leaning against the DHD with Teal'c. Jack loves to play with that belly.
The whole Jack/Harry/Daniel thing is hilarious. Daniel is already pissed, standing there with Teal'c, but since he has no real reason to be pissed, and it's not really the best place to make a scene, he stays in the background. And when Jack passes him, he doesn't even look at him. And Jack gives him that confused look, saying "I'm sorry for fucking him, but it was a long time ago and you were kind of dead, remember?"
Daniel ignores him, and he looks away a minute later, when Jack is still talking to Maybourne and looking at Daniel again. Daniel, sneaky guy that he is, looks innocently in the other direction, as if he was searching something.
But just a moment later he is totally checking out Jack's ass. Well, can't blame him for appreciating Jack in BDUs with his P-90. We sure didn't get to see enough of that lately.
(and I'm not making up the looks, really. Go watch that scene again if you don't believe me.)
But they are such an old married couple that they can't fight for long. Look at how close they stand when they enter the puddle jumper. Or maybe they made out somewhere on the way.
Nope, Daniel's still a bit pissed. Drama queen.
"Ffffocus your mind..."
And then he does that tongue thing? Sneaky drama queen.
Oh, and look at Sam! Clearly she is thinking: I may not really love Pete, but boy am I glad that these two keep each other busy, cause they'd drive me insane."
Of course Carter being Carter has a nice smile when she thinks these things. Years of imagining striptease and sex orgies in the briefing room have turned her into an expert at hiding what she is really thinking. She doesn't even blush anymore when she imagines sucking off Gen. O'Neill under the briefing table while Daniel is giving a presentation right in front of him.
What? A girl isn't allowed to have fantasies? Besides, she knows that Jack's most likely reaction would be "Carter??? What are you doing under the table? Did you just have your hand on my fly???."
No, the fantasy's nice, but let's keep it a fantasy.
Bwahaa, Daniel tell's him to focus and it works!
I bet he said the same thing that one time when Jack was really really tired and couldn't get it up. That's why Jack looks a bit pissed, and Daniel looks so smug. He probably thinks Jack deserves it because of his history with Maybourne.
Do those prophecies say anything about two guys having hot make-up sex before the Goa'uld come? *g*
And now they are having a
"Jack?"
"Daniel?"
exchange! Those really never do get old.
I'm so in love with that show.
Of course I could have done without that whole melodramatic King Maybourne-turns-into-a-good-guy-scene.
Jack's second try to fly the puddle jumper? This whole thing is such a metaphore for the scene I was talking about. Poor Jack. I bet it happens from time to time. He's in his late forties after all, and he really hasn't led the healthiest life. Could someone please write a story about him not being able to "perform"?
"Wives?" = "You can't fool me, i've seen the pretty young boys in the background of your royal chambers..."
And he gave Jack flowers, how cute.
Good episode, really. Even with the small weaknesses.
Also, Stargate Atlantis, The Brotherhood : SQUEEEEEE!
I love Atlantis so much!
Hmm, maybe I should spent the rest of my evening reading Atlantis slash.
