'It's a rock,' Jack sighed, leaning heavily against the tall stone pillar, unclipping his P-90.

'It's a tablet,' Daniel replied patiently, examining the markings on it.

'Same difference,' he said, adjusting his sunglasses and cap.

Daniel put it down for a moment and looked up at Jack, exasperated sigh on his lips.

'It's evidence of a completely new civilisation that we know nothing about. Doesn't that strike you as exciting?'

'If by new, you mean, haven't been back here for a thousand years, then uh, no actually.'

'Is there anything that would excite you at this point?'

'Lunch,' he replied.

Sometimes Daniel might as well be talking TO a rock rather than about one!

Love it =D

Jack will slowly come to appreciate Daniel's expertise, though it will land them in trouble more often than not!

This is true, Jack resorts to threatening Daniel or promising dire consequences a number of times throughout the show.

I'm watching season 7 at the moment (for the umpteenth time) because there are re-runs on TV. 5 episodes a week has even triggered me to write a few bits.

I was obsessed with the show when it came out and still have them all on DVD but never think to watch them. I used to watch the same favourite episodes over and over the night before exams to de-stress.
Occasionally I catch a rerun on TV but it doesn't have the same impact it used to, but some of O'Neill's lines still crack me up, like when he's doing the crossword and Carter says, the clue was celestial body and you wrote Uma Thurman, and he just says yes.
I always wanted to write Fanfic for it years and years ago, but wasn't into writing back then because I thought you had to be able to come up with some epically long storyline which I'm rubbish at. Drabbling is a nice way to ease back into the Fandom.

Some years ago, I picked up seasons 1-6 on DVD and watched the whole lot in 10 days o_O That was before I had internet, obviously, because I don't have DVD marathons now. I agree the impact has lessened somewhat from repeated viewings, but there's still so much to love about the interactions between characters, the acting is great, and Meridian still breaks my heart. Abyss remains my favourite episode even though season 6 is my least favourite.

That's one of the reasons I wanted to star this community - it gives people the chance to try out fandoms in small doses and see what they like writing. I've gone with Star Trek this time around, been wanting to try my hand at that for a while and my new prompt inspired me =D
