For some reason I have a really hard time settling on anything for Janet. I see, from a personality perspective, how Dan/Jan might have worked, but I guess I just don't see them on-screen together enough to really feel anything particular for it considering the other possibilities.
Jack/Daniel is my flagship, so to speak, but I have plenty of other sea-worthy (bad pun) vessels that I hop on now and again. Stargate's character relationships just seem so real to me that I can imagine their evolving in quite a few different directions.
And that's very, very true about Jack's drive to clear Daniel's name. In fact, everything about their interaction was so typical that it was eerie. Especially when Daniel was describing the symptoms that would develop, Jack's body language was very strange and very him. I guess what kills me about it is that from a shipper's perspective--but also, as I keep saying, even from a strictly canonical/friendshippy perspective--there was something haunting about the fact that their interaction was just so everyday and normal. They're used to talking about grave things... And yet, there was some very visible discomfort in Jack's demeanor--understandably--but I could just feel the tension... the ticking realization that this would be the "last" time they would do this. The finality that both of them were refusing to admit by carrying on as usual... And that's them, and that's why they break my heart.
Doomsday is actually a New Who episode. The end of Series 2. *shame* I haven't actually seen any Old Who.
