Omfg I'm 3 episodes into SG-1 and i love Daniel so much. I may not truly understand whats going as i havent seen the film or prior tie-in series but Daniel is so cute.
When he got blown backwards and hit against the wall, knocking him out 🤯🥳🦋 so many whump-flies!
I cant wait for more whump. Should there be any epiosde i keep my eye out for?
I need fics in-between episodes. I'm assuming you know plenty of whumpy Daniel fics? I'm not too bothered by spoilers for later episodes/series 😘
Aahhhh!!!! Nonny I'm so excited for you!!!! Getting to watch Stargate for the first time!!! I hope you're enjoying it!! It's my favorite show and Daniel is my all time favorite character. He's a big reason why I got my degree in history. He's also the greatest whumpee and is quite literally the reason why we call it "whump" (the stargate and daniel whump fans coined the word for it)
If you started with the episode Children of the Gods (1x01) then you only missed the original Stargate movie from 1994. The show Stargate SG-1 came out in 1997 as a spinoff/continuation of the movie. You don't have to but I definitely recommend watching the original film. It'll bring a lot more context to Jack and Daniel's relationship with each other and how the Stargate program began. So the viewing order for everything (as it aired) is the 1994 movie, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis (which started around s8 of sg1), Stargate Universe, and then Stargate Origins came out as a mini web series after the rest was out. It's technically a prequel but it can be watched whenever and doesn’t matter that much to the storyline.
In the meantime I can give you a quick low down on the movies plot so you cam enjoy the show more. So in the original movie, the Gate was discovered during an archaeological dig in Giza in the 1930s and the government has been trying to figured out what it is since. Daniel Jackson, who has become a pariah in the archaeological community for his theories that aliens built the pyramids is recruited by a woman named Catherine Langford, the daughter of the archaeologist who first found it in the 1930s, to translate the symbols on the gate. Daniel manages to figure out that the gate symbols were constellations and translates the writing on the cover stone. Enter Jack O'Neil. When Daniel tries to get details about the cover stone he keeps being told its classified but after translating the hieroglyphs he's shown the gate and they get it running. He joins Jack and his team through the wormhole. They arrive on a planet called Abydos and find the gates dialing device but are unable to locate the address to return home. Jack and Daniel find a nearby village and befriend the villagers. Daniel ends up falling in love with a woman named Sha're (long story) and Jack befriends a teen named Skaara. They learn the people are slaves of a god named Ra. Ra shows up. Theres a battle. Daniel dies for the first time and is revived through the use of a sarcophagus. It's revealed that this mission was a suicide mission and Jack had brought a bomb. Jack agreed to the mission because he was distraught over his son's death (his son had accidentally shot himself with Jack's service revolver). Well, they end up killing Ra, freeing the Abydonians, and finding the chevrons needed to go home. Daniel opts to remain on Abydos because he and Sha're have fallen in love. Jacl and the others return home.
Okay I'm rambling now but you opened up a can of worms asking about my all time favorite show and whumpee lol 😂
I'm so glad you love Daniel!!! Daniel is the best!! And you are I'm for a real treat in terms of whump. He's literally famous for how much he's injured and how often he dies lol. These episodes have some of my favorite Daniel whump:
