You know, I keep thinking that if the writers were true to the story line and characterization they could show the real effects of Daniel's prolong absence.

For example, if in Summit he is gone for several weeks or months (not that he would really be gone in terms of the episodes) they could show how SG1 and SGC and Earth for that matter would fare without him. SG1 could encounter a great moral dilema ala The Other Side and without Daniel's input they would make a great mistake. Alienate some alies, cause terrible problems for some aliens, etc. Sam is zero is these matters, she just follows Jack blindly, as Teal'c does. Daniel is the only one who is able to see beyond, the forest and not the trees.


Maybe we will get something of that nature in Summit thouth I doubt it. Daniel is the moral conscience of SG1 and SGC.

Oh, another Daniel brilliant quality.

16. He is a great diplomat, full of tact and understanding. Didn't the Tokr'a High Honcho praised the document he drafted? Let's face it, there are many soldiers, but only one Daniel Jackson. Hey, look at Rothman, a good archeologist but certainly not the brilliant Dr. Jackson.

Hmm, I don't think Sam blindly follow Jack. I think she has her objections, but being military she knows she has to follow orders.
IMHO:D

Norita answers: The thing that puzzles me is that sometimes when she is following Jack's order's she is disobeying General Hammond's. They both knew in Scorched Earth that Hammond had expressively forbidden using force and yet when Jack tells her to build to transfor that naquada reactor into a bomb she does.

And before in The Fifth Commandment and in Emancipation, to name to episodes, she did stand up to her CO. Now she doesn't voice any objections at all. In the Other Side she could have voiced her objections once Alar and his people had left the chamber and SG1 was alone. Yet she didn't.:(

Actually in The Other Side, she agreed with Jack on getting the technology.

But when she faced Gen. Hammond back on the base, she did say that Daniel's questions were valid, at least approving the right of Daniel to voice them. Yet with Jack, back at the planet and when SG1 was alone, she didn't say a word, no siree, the ever obedient soldier. It bug me. Why support Daniel before the General and not before Jack? It's that she doesn't want to annoy Jack at all, Daniel the bad boy, she the good girl.
 
Hmm okay i'll just bring it back to our beloved then.
