muck_a_luckI was thinking last night about why I find DanielJackson so appealing. Aside from his total slashability, obviously.
He's unabshed intelligentsia. Not just an action scientist, like every Starfleet officer. Or Capt. Carter, for that matter. He's what every fantasy-novel devouring BA would want to be. Total bookworm geek who's converted himself into a sort of scholar-warrior. Action linguist! He goes off to dangerous, exotic locations and mutters to himself about the combined Latin and Greek roots of the local language and waxes lyrical about ancient influences on the architecture.
I have been trying to think of somebody else like that on TV. Somebody who *wasn't* a villian or just a one time character.
Anyone?
