Daniel Jackson's Record

aurora_novarumOkay, I actually did this a while ago, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sg_fignewton's recent canon/fanon discussion made me decide to note it here.
I think I know Daniel's birth place.
I know fanon has two big camps of Daniel Jackson's birthplace. Either New York (where the parents died) or Egypt...because I guess he's an Egyptologist and/or his parents were putting up an Egyptian exhibit?
Anyway, I proffer that Daniel Jackson was born in Olympia. Either in Greece or in Oregon. I wanted it to be Oregon, since that's where Grandpa Nick was committed. But, there's no such place as Olympia, Oregon, but there is Olympia, Greece. After staring at the following picture, or its equivalent from my dvd pause and zoom, I'm positive it's some round letter O/G/C/Q and R as the state (or country) of birth.
I know pictures are questionable canon. Carter's birth month shown on a screen in "Entity" is different than the May month Orlin mentions in "Ascension", and O'Neill's age differs from "Brief Candle" to the id card shown in "Fragile Balance". But Daniel's birth information is open to question (I still want to know when July is in Stargate land if Daniel is 4 "and a half" in August of 1969).
This is how I've translated the above picture:

Date: 2006-12-05 09:45 pm (UTC)Yes, of COURSE I remember Spirits. :-) Trust me, Sam is 10x better in this one, and looks cool doing it.
The Other Guys. Sniff, poor Coombs.
Felger: What would Col. O'Neill do in this situation?
Coombs: You want me to shoot you?
Allegiance. Ooh, is this where that used-in-vids-clip of Jack in slow motion with his big honkin' gun comes from?
Ooooh yeaaahhh.
Plus, it is the best Tok'ra/Jaffa/Tau'ri episode of them all. (And you really need to see the Jacob/Jack scene...not THAT way...and not That way either, heh). Really. Makes you realize how pissy they truly were in Death Knell too. Bastards.
Not even the temptation of seeing Bill Lee in action for the first time is enough to make me watch this.
Actually, he first appeared in Season Four's "Prodigy". [/anal trivial knowledge]
BTW, in fairness, Jonas is good in Metamorphosis, and definitely his own man, not NotDaniel here. I just really really really hate melty people. Really. (and yes, I ff that scene in X-Men too. I'm a wuss).
Imagine if they'd actually ended the show like this and left a cliffhanger for a wrap-up movie. Meep!
I know, as a series ender, it's kinda freaky, but I love it as a season ender. Who knows what they'll do for S10 (and if my flist does know, DON'T TELL ME!)
SEASON TEN SPOILERS BELOW (FOR AIRED EPISODES)
You know, Insiders is pretty bad in S10, but Uninvited...well, you know Puff the Magic FruitBat Dragon from "The Quest?", he's got CGI cousins in this one. Despite that, the teamy nature of this episode was good. It's worth it for the Landry/Mitchell bird calling scene. I missed Daniel in the tag though. But both eps they handled his absence well.
