OMG, I Found Jaffa Cakes!

[magnavox_23]

And they taste like crap! XD Ever since getting into the Stargate fandom, I heard people go on about Jaffa cakes, mostly in the UK. But, I was in Woolies yesterday, and there they were. I'd describe the taste as a Terry's Chocolate Orange covered in mold. The jelly-like bit in the middle? WTF? Seriously, that is the most random thing ever. LOL!

Anyways, in following starting_gate 's ideas on positive distraction, I did a quick sketch of the Jack/Elizabeth hug from Return part 2. It's a bit scruffy in places, and I'm not completely happy with Lizzie's hair, but I did it like 2am last night, coz I couldn't sleep. Click on the pic for the full size image.

The expression is interesting. It's almost as if he's making sure no one is watching them hug. He was all rigid when she first grabbed him, but then he relaxes into it and hold her back. And then he starts looking around, even though there's no one around. Is it proper for a General to go around hugging people? It's interesting for me (I love analysing Jack)that in the easier years he was quite tactile, but with responsibility, rank and such, he appears far more rigid and closed off. I think he secretly enjoyed someone reaching out to him for a change.

You know, that is quite odd. The fact that early Jack touched, alot and he didn't later. That said, I absolutely loved the hair ruffle from 'The Shroud'. And the fact that he did it right there in front of God and everybody? Shows me he still isn't quite as distant from Daniel as he probably should be.
Compare that expression to the ones he has while he's hugging Daniel, first from 'Serpent's Lair' which was very public and 'Forever in a Day' which was very private. He doesn't seem to care who sees him hugging Daniel.

It's Daniel! Who could stay away? :P

I think in The Serpent's lair hug, he was quite carried away by the moment, there's that unmasked genuine glee on his face. Under normal circumstances, I don't see him acting so exuberant. As for Forever In A Day (Which I still can't figure if it was all in Daniel's head or not)I put Jack's initial reluctance down to a mixture of Sam being there, and him being aware of how he should act as a CO in front of her, and of Daniel knowing just how close Jack feels about him. This was also expressed during the scene where Daniel was packing up his office.

I think nowadays, Jack's pretty comfortable in showing his affection for Daniel in front of SG-1, but I don't see him letting go anywhere too public.

See, I keep forgetting about those part of FiaD being in Daniel's head. Because in that scene where Daniel is packing up his office, he calls Sam 'Carter' and he would never call her by her last name.
I'm watching the movie and even then Jack was a bit more tactile with Daniel than he probably should have, he leaned in very close when he was fingering the eye of Ra pendant. Then, of course, Ra kind of chucked Daniel under the chin right before he ripped the pendant off his neck. So maybe it wasn't just Jack who couldn't keep his hands to himself?
