eponymous_roseYeah, so I've been watching a lot of SG-1 lately, and that includes the awesome little featurettes on the DVD, and I couldn't resist the urge to make a behind-the-scenes picspam for the fanfic episode "Abyss". And the picspam's Daniel-centric, because Michael Shanks is funny and because, dangit, I'm being converted.
Anyway, I don't know the fandom, so I don't know if everyone and their dog has seen these featurettes, but whatever. Everyone loves a picspam, right? I have more planned, because there are tons of hilarious behind-the-scenes things on the season six DVDs and I... like... picspamming things? Yes.
Director Martin Wood shows off the nifty antigrav effect using, um. His finger and paper.
Director Martin Wood shows off a somewhat more dramatic aspect of the nifty antigrav effect by hanging on this board over a big precipice. That's dedication!
Michael Shanks talks a bit about the ascended Daniel Jackson, who is a lot like your garden-variety Daniel Jackson, only with extra white sweaters and extra non-intervention policiesand extra subtext with Jack.
I know this is behind the scenes, but let's take a moment to recapture the awesome that is Jack throwing his shoe through Daniel.
Thank you. We now return you to your regularly scheduled behind-the-scenes.
Michael Shanks goes into a very intelligent and detailed analysis of Daniel (calling him a "pathos-ridden fool") and then we cut to this.
And this. ♥
*dramatic scene*
Daniel: I promise. *wanders off-screen* Or something like that.
Martin Wood tells Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks that their acting is terrible and he doesn't know what to do with them. Richard Dean Anderson calls him "Director Boy" and shoos him away.
He then steals his camera. "There's a reason some people are behind the camera."
Executive Producer Brad Wright talks about having to come up with a solid reason to bring Daniel back. "We didn't want him to just be Clarence the angel that comes by and says, 'Hi guys!'"
Jack: I'd have busted you out, blown this *CENSORED* to *CENSORED* all *CENSORED* *CENSORED*.
Daniel: You, in the place you're at right now, you don't have any other choices. *dramatic pause* Except that outfit. *less dramatic pause* Line?
Jack is all "But they're just going to kill me again, you have to end it all, etc. etc." and Daniel is all, "Lalala, I can't heeear you."
Martin Wood: Show me how Daniel disappears in this scene.
Michael Shanks: What is that over there?
!!!
Martin Wood: It's like some kind of weird TV magic!
Michael Shanks: When you're ascended, you should see the card tricks you can do. It's amazing.
Michael Shanks: I don't wanna play this anymore!
And because nothing tops that last one, I'll stop there.
Also, hey, I was somewhere in season six when I decided to start from the beginning with a properly Epic Rewatch, so I'm coming up to episodes I've never seen before! Awesome.

He has vanished via the strange and eldrich enchantment of jump cuts. My God! :D

I'm also making my way through the entirety of SG-1, although it's for the first time (the last episode I watched was 7.09, Avenger 2.0), a process I started late August last year. I had a massive break towards the end of season four, but now I'm back in full force and bought the complete series boxset and everything because I adore it to pieces. I've already watched all of Atlantis, so it's a lot of fun seeing how certain concepts and characters got set up for that series, especially the pre-Atlantis appearances of McKay.
It's nice to have someone on the f-list who's going through it as well, be it the first or second time! And because I have to ask, what are your favourite episodes so far?
