"I wanted to kill him."

Jack nodded. Understandable, given the circumstances.

"No, Jack. You don't understand. I wanted to kill him." Daniel's eyes were pleading to him, searching for exoneration or absolution. "I really wanted to kill him."

Jack said nothing.

"I know he did the right thing. I know. But I still wanted to kill him."

Jack was no stranger to the rage. He knew what it felt like, tasted like….He squirmed in his chair. But for Daniel…

"I wanted to kill him," Daniel whispered, slumping in his seat.

Jack reached over and squeezed his shoulder. "But you didn't."

Thank you!

Very nice. Daniel has had his moments of rage during his evolution, but it never really got addressed on the show, that I can remember.

We often see hints of it, like it wants to bubble to the surface was is quickly extinguished. Only when he's loopy or something, do we tend to see it.

Hope it was good enough.
