pepper: Pepperpot (Cuddle a Colonel)
It's occurred to me that, for the next few episodes of season 1 that we're watching for [profile] redial_the_gate, Jack is gloomy. In Solitudes he's dying-in-a-cave gloomy, in Tin Man he's robot-who's-had-his-life-taken-away gloomy, in TBFTGOG he's AU-apocalypse gloomy, in Politics he's they're-burying-the-Stargate gloomy, and in Within The Serpent's Grasp he's Skaara's-a-Goa'uld-and-he's-attacking-Earth gloomy. Granted, two of those aren't the 'real' Jack, but it struck me that we don't really see such a long run of seriousness in later seasons (presumably because RDA doesn't enjoy acting it for long - I can't say I blame him; it must be quite wearing). 

Crack a smile, Jack - it's not the end of the world. Well, okay, it IS the end of the world...

Then again, he's never especially cheery. He's quite irritable and grumpy, most of the time. But I don't think he looks quite so consistently depressed, later on. Or am I imagining it?

I ♥ your brainz.

(OMG Jack and the way he gets totally hung up on he and Sam being engaged in another universe. *glees*
"It is theoretically possible."
"It's against regulations."
"I'm talking about physics, sir.")

You know how Jack gets once someone puts an idea in his head. *waggles eyebrows suggestively*

"Tell me more about physics then, because clearly I am missing out on something vital."

My S/J withdrawal has been most keen this week. Not sure I can survive 11 more days!!!!!!

My String Theory withdrawal kicked in unexpectedly yesterday. It was watching TBFTGOG that did it.

You can do it! You're nearly two-thirds of the way through the month!

A fic somewhere, by someone (oh how I wish I had some kind of workable memory), had Janet observing that it wasn't physics but chemistry that was the issue. :)
