when I started watching SG1 I was a big Daniel fan, because he was an archaeologist. And so I think I have a fonder memory of "Fire and Water" than lots of people do
Ditto, r.e. "Fire and Water." I'm to the point where I even just handwave the bad parts. Fish suit, *handwave*. Plastic brain machine, *handwave*. I loved the parts in the beginning that you pointed out, and I liked Daniel trying to deal with the fish guy - being one part scared, one part frustrated, and, when he started getting the fish guy's full story, two parts geektastic anthropologist.
Totally! And, I mean, the scene with the plastic brain machine would be very cool, if ... well, the plastic brain machine looked less stupid, wasn't being manned by a guy in a fish suit who apparently believes in genetic memory, and if Michael Shanks hadn't (apparently) been told to act somewhere between orgasm, torture, and bad dentistry.
I mean, it might "damage" him! He's been sleep-deprived! He thinks his friends think he's dead! I just pretend we got the fun kind of melodrama out of that, instead of the kind of ridiculous plastic chair and fish guy. Whatever! It was all really tense in the real episode. By which I mean the one in my head.
