I jest, of course.
Jack!
I have many, many moments and lines from Jack that I love. Many. But I shall restrain myself, and just give you...
Three firsts:
First season. The Enemy Within, Kawalsky awaiting surgery, and Jack's usual method of coping:
Jack: Listen, I gotta ask you something. It's not easy for me.
Kawalsky: We're friends.
Jack: If you don't make it….. can I have your stereo?
(Ah, Charlie – you know he means "You're my friend and I care about you and don't die and don't worry it'll all be fine, I promise!" It just comes out a bit… wrong.)
---
First season I bought – season 4 (predisposed towards being a Sam/Jack shipper? Moi?). Beneath The Surface, and even with a mindstamp, Jack is essentially… Jack:
Jack/Jonah: My memory’s fine!
Daniel/Carlin: Really?
Jack/Jonah: Yeah!
Daniel/Carlin: What did you do in the mines?
Jack/Jonah: I mined.
Daniel/Carlin: No…what did you do?
Jack/Jonah: I remember shovelling ore into a cart.
Daniel/Carlin: And?
Jack/Jonah: I did that a lot.
(It's the way he says "I mined" that I love most about that. I suspect if they pushed him some more, he might recall pointy hats and the hiho song. Or would he remember the mines from Need, and the days - weeks? - they spent down there?)
---
First episode I watched – Full Alert (yes, an ass-backwards one to start on – it was showing on TV), and Jack finally has the upper hand in dealing with Kinsey:
Kinsey: Who are you calling?
Jack: Local sheriff’s a friend of mine.
Kinsey: I may be disgraced, but I’m not wanted for any crimes.
Jack: Breaking and entering?
Kinsey: Jack ...
Jack: Shh. It’s ringing.
(And then Kinsey pulls the cord out the wall, and Jack pauses for a moment – then takes out his mobile and begins dialling again. Hee! So, so deliberately, gleefully annoying. He's wanted to be like this towards Kinsey for years.)

And one of my favourite moments, in animated pic form.
This week, my darlings, I need Jack to brighten my life. So spam me!
Season 10 spoilers may be in comments. No need to worry about Ark Of Truth spoilers, though. :)
*sits back to see if the record of 99 comments to the Daniel Quotes post - so far the highest number of comments I've had to a post on here - will be surpassed*

Umm, let's see. Favorite moments? Well, one is when he promotes Sam in New Order, Part 2, and she doesn't believe it and he motions her over with a lil "Come here!"
That killed me. And um, pretty much every moment in WoO.
Oh, in "Hathor":
[Carter is looking at the healed abdomen of O'Neill who has no memory of past events]
Capt. Carter: Wow! That's a miracle!
Col. O'Neill (confused): Crunches.
The expression on his face is just hilarious.
Quotes:
From Singularity:
Capt. Carter: You can actually see matter spiralling towards it..
Col. O'Neill: Actually, it's called the Accretion disc.
Dr. Jackson: You can see why the local population would be afraid of i...What did you just say?!
Col. O'Neill:It's just an astronomical term.
Capt. Carter:You didn't think the colonel had a telescope on his roof just to look at the neighbors did you?
Col. O'Neill: [to Teal'c] not initially
From Jolinar's Memories:
Dr. Jackson: You said Hell, right?
Col. O'Neill: Well, I'm going to end up there sooner or later. Might as well check out the neighborhood, huh?
From Exodus:
Col. O'Neill: Something wrong?
Maj. Carter: No. I've just never blown up a star before.
Col. O'Neill: Well, they say the first one's always the hardest. I say that.
From Red Sky:
[Carter explanes a plan to Gen. Hammond and Col. O'Neill to save K'Tau]
Col. O'Neill: I thought when something was in a wormhole, it existed only as energy,that you needed another Stargate to turn it back into solid matter.
Maj. Carter: Actually, you're absolutely correct, sir.
[O'Neill stares at Carter and says nothing for few seconds]
Col. O'Neill: I am?
Maj. Carter: Yes.
[While Carter continues to explain, O'Neill turns back to Gen. Hammond and grins]
hee. Just wanted to say that I do know how to spell "explain."
And one last one, from Memento:
Col. Ronson: There's no redundancy for that particular system.
Col. O'Neill: So, you're saying there's no redundancy.
Very adorable!
