Wasn't just the spin. It was that look he gives, albeit masked in shadows, with that pursed half-smile and brow rising as "It's gonna be one of *those* conversations" look that I know oh so well.

I never realised what a twitchy character he is until this scene

@@rcslyman8929 Yeah I always interpreted it as "Here I am telling him this very important information and he wants to chit-chat first. Okay, let's get this over with."

Daniel immediately knew Jack didn't appreciate the kind of "greetings" he received from his dead best friend. And Daniel was like turned around in an exasperated and 'damn it, Jack' kind of way then braced him self to start from the beginning again with the proper greetings that Jack wanted.

@@Sylvael2002 It's a progression throughout the series to the twitchy glory you see here. He's seen some things.

Shows you how awesome Jack is to get away with his ballsy attitude...Hammond? Back pocket. Ascended being? Coin purse attached to back pocket.

Jack is basically a human version of a Husky

@@mattakins3422 to be fair, this is _Daniel_ we’re talking about, he ain’t exactly predisposed to going on a smiting spree.

Jack has a point though, _"Hi Jack"_ is kind of polite

Man I never caught that, that's some really good editing

"Walking a fine line...like jaywalking?"

As Jack said "what good is the power to make the wind blow or toss lightning around if you can't use it to spring an old friend out of jail

Honestly, Jack had soooooooo many incredible lines in this show that is kinda hard to pick the best. One of the best characters i have ever seen in tv show.

Daniel "ascended beings cant actually DO anything, we just observe." Olma at Kheb "Taste my lightning motha fukka's!!!!!"

what that did not put in was the pill cart will be by shortly i just wish thay get off my sope box soon

I am thinking of Up In Smoke. " Dude, I have never seen anyone eat that much acid!" 😄😄

Got his attention

Daniel the hijacker

​@@vertie2090 Daniel HiJackson.

Hi, Jack!! Gets arrested.

Never noticed that lol great catch

@@lemmonsinmyeyes No the elevator caught Michael Shanks and never let go.

Not even travel forward in time to see what happens first?

He can peek in Sam's shower ;)

Phenomenal Cosmic Power! Ittty bitty living space. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icyEmbt9sbDQqoE.html

Zamolxes77 O’Neil actually kinda does this.. episode where he’s invisible... carter about to step out of shower : *peeks out* “Sir.... are you here?” *moment of silence * O’Neil :”nope” Carter:*hides in shower*

That's omnipotence as defined by the rules of the Alterans. Just look at the Ori - waving their omnipotence left and right.

probably partly writing, partly improvizing on the stage. The issue with modern sci-fi is, that many actors don´t play together for such long time, as R. D. Anderson and Michael Shanks did and thus they don´t have wits needed to do such improvization. Also, not many series can have these funny antics between multiple characters either due to the script, or due to relationships of said characters (also count in political correctness, which is doing a lot of damage actually).

10000% agree

But...but....muh lensflare...muh 'splody bits!!

What do you mean? tHeY fLY nOW? At least the Asimov apple series turned out quite good.

Whereas imagining you're talking to your dead friend on a dark elevator is more of a Jack Daniels banter.

Second best for me, the best is X-Files.

It knew that while you can be serious, you can't be super dark broody serious all the time. Sometimes you need to relax and crack a smile. Supernatural's writers figured that out and that's why it's running into it's fourteenth season right now. It's a pity they cut Atlantis short and brought out Universe which did a pretty ass awful job.

Susanne Johansson same

Second to me too, the first is Star Trek TOS.

@@ArlanKels Well, we had Amanda Tapping and Micheal Shanks in SN, too. That reminded me of the good old days. And SN is really a great show. Absolute favorite and i copmpare it to SG

Daniel was hijacking the elevator :D

T Vance yes that is what he did

*ascended :P

If you put quotes then at least write it out as is

It makes for a great ship name....😉

Cuz no one actually likes her (I'm kidding btw.......mostly......😂)

And Jack asked Teal'c ,you see him too and why didn't you say anything and why didn't you say anything 😂😂😂😂 and Sam feels left out lol

To me, Daniel seemed very un-Daniel-like while he was Ascended. So many of the things that felt very core to his character before that, he either seemed to drift away from, or just didn't come up. He seemed much more himself again, once he was human again. It's almost like... being human is part of what makes us who we are.

KnightRaymund she would actually have a surprised reaction and help as quickly as possible and teal’c would not be surprised and help sooner.

yeah but daniel had to visit his boyfriend ☺️

I guess talking to Jack doesn't count as interference...

Nobody else on the team could deliver the humor that O'Neill can.

No, he actually can't. The Q have rules, too. The rules are looser than those of the Ancients, yes, but the Q still have rules.

Oh yeah? How many times can Q die and come back to life? Daniel 1 Q 0

@@neatoburrito5839 do you really think Q would do something as banal as die?

Well that aged well, how's Doctor Who working out for you?

Star trek is fantastic as well. ;). Atlantis was cooler but sg1 is fantastic as well. Thing is i think what made atlantis is better is that every character is flawed. You dont see it alot in sg1.

great list!!!

I would put Fringe as 1, Babylon 5 as 2 and Expanse as 3. If the expanse continues being as good as it is, then it will rise to 1 eventually, but for now... Fringe/Babylon 5 remains the best. Only reason I rate fringe slightly higher is because fringe was good from start to end, while babylon 5 wasn't as good at the end (it wasn't bad, but just not as good).

I see that disrespect to Stargate Universe 🥺 How's DW working out for you lately?

Smedley Butler - I’m guessing he listened to Dr. Crusher when she told Wesley to bring a sweater because it might cold on those higher planes.

Yep, pretty much.

Yeah......why not flannel?

@@qweeknee4208 cause Daniel isn't from Montana or Colorado

JakePlays because the ancients would stop him.

*JakePlays* The Ancients might not interfere, Ori would. Just saying...

the moment he tried to interfere, someone would swoop in snatch his ass out of our reality, and strip him of his powers then leave him a naked amnesiac on some distant planet.

"...afterall I'm not more qualified to play god than the Go'uld are."

Ascended beings have their own version of Star Trek's Prime Directive, though that only seems to matter for each individual plot because it gets bent (not fully broken) pretty often and the rest of the pack doesn't do anything until the plot needs them to.

There are reruns I watched them there just not on SYFY

Nah jack + mayborne

Until he needed Ritalin to stay awake (end of season 6, all of season 7) delivering his lines like an Alzheimer patient. I know i know, im being harsh, he had personal problems.

He's not a physical being anymore at this point. He does not have a meat-brain. He literally died.

Oh snap!

it all comes down to "Im a higher beeing! What i do now? NOTHING! HA!"

They can do nothing on our plane of existence. They can do plenty on their own plane, we just never get to see it.

@@lauralynnasteriahathaway6819 Oh, they CAN do many things. Daniel could have killed/destroyed Anubis there. "The other" just wouldn let him and Anubis knew that.

@@Fion355 Yeah, I know that they are capable of doing things in our plane. When I said "they can't do anything" I meant that they effectively cannot since the others would stop them, but that is a mouthful and a very well known part of Stargate Canon so I didn't think it was necessary. I was responding to the original commenter @MetallSwede that an ascended being can do a lot of things on their own plane, and we just never get to see it. They are experiencing untold, incomprehensible wonders and it would be very worth it to ascend. They probably use their powers in their own plane all the time, exploring the universe, fighting the Ori, they just have to leave us alone. And we just never see it because in canon it is supposed to be something we cannot comprehend, like the Q Continuum in Star Trek.

Daniel. Though Jack is considerably more intelligent than he lets on.
