And then! OH THEN! The WEDDING! And Daniel says to Jack, "If she doesn't show up, they're going to think that you and I are..." and Jack looks puzzled while Daniel trails off, looking very uncomfortable. TEEHEEHEE. I know Jack/Daniel's a big slash ship, yes?
:) Yeah, Jack/Daniel's the biggest slash pairing for SG-1 (and my personal favorite as well). There were actually other ways that they played out that scene which were talked about in an interview with RDA in TV Guide:
TV Guide: Anderson goes off to rehearse the big wedding scene. Sam (Amanda Tapping) is the bride, and Daniel (Michael Shanks) is the best man. No doubt saluting the fans who want Jack and Daniel to hook up, they do a couple of "Brokeback" takes. In one, Richard takes the bouquet out of Amanda's hands and gives it to Michael. In another, Richard takes Michael's hand at the altar, which causes the assembled cast and crew to erupt in applause. (You'll just have to watch to see what ends up on air.)
TV Guide: That was cute, the hand-holding with Michael. Anderson: [Laughs] Over the years, it's been alluded to, so we did that just for us.
Is there ever a time where both Jack and Vala are regulars?
No, Vala was only in one episode of S8, less than half of S9, and then became a regular in S10. Jack was a regular only until S8 and he was only in a couple of minutes in the S8 episode that Vala was in and they didn't interact (or even meet) at all. The few episodes Jack has shown up in during S9 and 10, he either wasn't in the same scene(s) as Vala or else he barely responded to her.
I think... oh dear, I think I might have to get at least one season of this ridiculousness. Cause it is SO FUN, I love it.
LOL, well I'm not sure if I can help because even though SG-1 is one of my favorite top two shows, I don't really have a favorite season but rather favorite episodes in certain scenes and also a love for seasons in general if that makes sense. I'm a huge fan particularly of the original team (so Daniel, Jack, Teal'c, and Sam). Not that I don't enjoy Mitchell and Vala too but it'll always be the original four that I love the most.
I'd have to say that S1-5 are my favorite overall because that's when all four of them were in it together the most (so Daniel wasn't ascended and/or RDA wasn't yet cutting back on his time to be with his kid). I still liked S6-10, they just aren't my favorite. I have a special place for the very early seasons because the characters were so fresh faced and new to all of this. I love the team as a whole, though given that I'm a huge J/D slash fan, I also have a huge love for particular episodes that have a lot of Jack/Daniel interaction or at least certain special moments that stick out.
Not sure I could narrow it down to my favorite whole season but I'd say my favorite arc would be the end of S1 to the very beginning of S2 which consists of:
There But For the Grace of God (which is actually an AU and starts off the arc). Politics (a clip episode which is a format I don't really care for but it does tie in the with the arc, the beginning and towards the end in particular). Within The Serpent's Grasp (which is the S1 cliffhanger). The Serpent's Lair (which is the S2 premiere).
In any case, that's my favorite arc though your mileage may vary of course. You mentioned wanting a whole season recced but like I said, it's hard to narrow it down since while I have particular love for Seasons 1-5, I wouldn't say I love every episode either so I'm not sure how I would narrow it down in those 5 seasons. Plus I'm not positive exactly what you'd be looking for either. My favorites are usually either whole team episodes or ones with important and/or fun J/D moments but I couldn't guarantee that you'd feel the same.
I was probably no help at all just there. Ha, sorry about that. I do agree with others that Window of Opportunity is fun. I could throw out some more episode recs if I knew more what you're looking for (only funny and/or crack episodes? angst? no angst? action? all of the above? etc).
