"Day 14"

Favorite male character

Imma make this easy for you guys, okay?  It's Daniel Jackson.  (I love Rory Williams and Nathan Petrelli a lot too; you get a cookie if you know off the top of your head what all three have in common.)  For one thing, I love characters who change a lot over the run of the show- and I've never known a character to grow as much as Daniel did, and yet- despite becoming a tougher, darker character- still keep the inner core of decency and optimism that I loved about him in the first place; after everything that happened to him, he stayed the genius who thought with his heart more than his head.  He's the guy who once got kidnapped by a giant lizard monster and decided to try to learn its language so he could communicate with it.  He's the guy who was always willing to give the things he needed up for others, from his best chance to save his wife to his own life.  He's the guy who got kicked out of heaven because he wouldn't stop helping people.*  I love Daniel.

tis funny, Jack was always my man - and Jack templates were always my fav. Rory seems to be a mix of both Jack AND Daniel and really, that is the best combo ever.

But I totally get your love for Daniel. He just...made you love him, you know?

*HUGS*

Rory does sort of occupy the space between the Jack type and the Daniel type, know that you mention it.

Ah, Daniel, I love him too and I so very much agree with you. I love how much he changed and grew, but still remained so decent and curious about the world.

Yeah- a lot of shows favor negative character development, but all the characters in SG-1 (and SGA too, I feel) managed to keep their hope matter how crazy things got.
