Jack and Daniel

This is an old article, but it made me smile.

Since their first adventure rescuing Abydos from Ra, Jack O’Neill and Daniel Jackson have been — how do the kids say it these days? — BFFs. They haven’t always seen eye-to-eye (something we love about their relationship), but they do have a great deal of respect for one another. Here are our five favorite moments between these two comrades:

#5: Daniel Is A Geek

Season Four’s “The Serpent’s Venom”

This is such a small moment that it’s easy to miss, but it’s still one of our favorites. As the team gets ready to head off-world for a galaxy-saving mission, Jack gives Daniel a hard time about all the books he is dragging along with him. “Ever thought of a laptop?” He asks. Daniel responds, “Well, I had one — I just couldn’t get Beck’s Ancient Phoenician Symbology on CD at Archaeology.com” … at which point Jack reaches out and, slowly and deliberately, pushes Daniel’s glasses back up on his nose.

It shows that, because of everything they have gone through, these two have a personal friendship that goes beyond just working together. His friend is a geek, and Jack knows it.
