X-Files Movie a reality (or not) and where's the Daniel love?

[moonshayde]

So, lately there has been some rumblings over the next X-Files movie by David Duchovny. Now, DD has done this repeatedly in the past and nothing ever comes out of it. But he's at it again and seems to be confident that the next X-Files movie may just be around the corner.

But this time he's not alone in his assertion. Gillian Anderson has also chimed in and believes that this time it could become a reality.

News on both DD and GA can be found here: X-Files rumblings

As for SG-1, it's no secret I have much love for all the characters. Well, mainly the original cast, though I enjoy the new cast, too. Just a preference of mine. But lately, man, I've encountered much Daniel hate. Mind you, in the past, I've encountered Sam hate and Jack hate and hate for other characters, but lately I've seen much love for them. But where's the Daniel love? *hugs him* I feel very alone in my Daniel love.

Oh, wow! I haven't really been into the X-Files for, oh, aaaaages, but if another movie were to come out... oooh... exciting! Maybe it'll actually prompt me to watch the final series.

*offers Daniel porn icon in place of Daniel love*

I love Daniel! He looks so good in a flag...

*is shocked*

what's not to love?

*resolves to put him in more fic* (not that that would ever be a problem :P)

Daniel hate?

*looks around*

Where are they? I'll go beat 'em up. (Just kidding, I promise...I think.)

Seriously, why are people complaining about Daniel, and where are you hanging out that you're seeing this bizarre behavior? I've not seen it at all, but then my flist is pretty small, so maybe I've just been hiding in my comfy little "I love everybody" corner of the fandom for too long.

Where have you been hearing this Daniel hate so that I know to avoid these places?

Daniel's my favorite fictional character, even more so than Mr. Spock, and that is saying a lot because I grew up loving Mr. Spock! I got into online fandom because of Michael Shanks and his portrayal of Dr. Daniel Jackson.

Daniel hate? Sorry, I live in a sphere of no hate. It's DANIEL, for goodness' sake. I love him like a rabid fangirl loves babyfic. Early earnest Daniel. Post descension, mysteriously buffed up Daniel. Throwing a fit in "A Small Step" Daniel. Wise, older and slightly jaded Daniel who was so melancholy at first seeing Atlantis Daniel. And omg, the conversation with Jack in Divide and Conquer? How perfect was that?

Sorry, got a little sidetracked there. I think my material point was that I love Daniel. You are SOOOO not alone. :)

Do people hate Daniel because he was "mean" once or twice to precious, precious Vala? Or just general hate. There's been general haters around for a long time.

I still love the pre-ascension Daniel, and am rather indifferent (but not hateful toward) post-ascension Daniel.

What sort of back alleyways and crack dens have you been hanging in to find Daniel Hate?!? *grin* I haven't seen it on my flist thankfully, but then I haven't seen anything much on it recently since RL has been requiring more than its fair share of my attention of late.

[xayeidemon.livejournal.com]

Daniel's awesome. Sure, he's got his faults, but who doesn't? His flaws make him that much more endearing, and I love him for them.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Whoa! I love that scene from Fail Safe.

X-Files...I was bad. I've never watched S9. I just...dunno. I liked Doggett. But by then, I wasn't too happy with the series. I hear that if this movie does get green-lighted, it will be a stand alone horror which would actually be nice, I think.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Indeed he does ;)

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Team love! I love all the characters, just in different ways. I just feel the need for more Daniel love right now.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

I love his faults. I love all their faults. it makes me happy because I don't like perfect people.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

I'm good at it! My flist is good. It's when I'm bored and I started venturing outside of my flist I find the scary.

When I need a distraction, I always seem to find the wrong kind ;)

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Just a continuation of the general hate, I think. I went venturing out because I was lookign for stuff to serve as a pick me up and oops. I never seem to venture into the right places. I should just stay on my flist.

I prefer pre-ascension Daniel to post-Ascension Daniel myself, but I can usually rationalize my way out of it. Or at least blame the writers because that's easier ;)

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to remain firmly in the "I love everybody" camp, but I still seem to find everything else. I'm very good at that. Blame my curious nature? I'm always sticking my nose where it doesn't belong.

Rest assured, it's not here on my flist because you all rock. It's more outside on the fringes of LJ and other places.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

It's generalized. It's not anywhere on my flist. I'm trying to think exactly where I started to feel it...I think it was an offshoot of that whole big meltdown in the SGA fandom. So there was some SG-1 stuff my extension. And then it just went from there.

So my immediate reaction is like gah! I want some Daniel love!

I mean, I'm not overly fond of his characterization these days but I still love the character. I love them all. I need me some character love.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Ack, so much Daniel love in this post alone!

I really shouldn't venture past the shiny gates of my flist. Because it can be scary out there. I'm happy that my flist generally loves everyone because then that makes me happy and when I'm happy I can enjoy the show and the fandom more.

[crayonbreakygal.livejournal.com]

Poo on those silly people. Daniel is great.

Oooh, another X-Files film. I just hope that it's better than the first one. It was alright. It might be fun to visit again.

[gategrrl.livejournal.com]

I'm amazed at the folks who LIKE Daniel who spew off about him biting the head of off Little Miss Princess Vala the Promiscuous. Methinks they project too much onto Vala and think anyone who loves Daniel ought to be adored back by him in turn.

Of course, what I really think is that all the Vala love has overtaken the Daniel love for Daniel as his own character, and not a character on his own.

Daniel-hate...there's always been a lot of that from rabid Sam fans. Nothing new there.

[beanpot.livejournal.com]

Sigh - it exhausts me when character hate bleeds out. Daniel is just Daniel and I love how layered he has gotten in the past few years. The more layers the better - for dessert or characters.

And the SGA fandom blew up again? Le sigh...

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

I came across someone the other day who said that they'd always hated Daniel from the beginning. I just don't get it. Daniel is AWESOME.

*offers icon*

Watch your back when in places like those. [whisper]I hear they carry knives there.[/whisper]

I'll never understand why so many fans seem to have a Zero-Sum approach to their love but I'm aware that it's there. I'm a sensitive soul -- no! really! stop laughing! -- so I tend to stay on the well-lit fandom streets with community patrols that keep random "fans" from beating up on the characters I love. :)

[superbadgirl]

I can't fathom watching a show for 10 years, all the while hating one of the main characters. It took me all of 7 episodes to realize I couldn't stomach watching SG-1 with Vala around, so I, y'know, left rather than let that aggravation fester into something worse.

And of course it goes without saying that I can't fathom hating Daniel, of all characters. I've heard the argument he's hated because he used to get in the way of running down corridors and pretty, violent explosions, but that faded away post-ascension.

Or maybe he's hated because he's so pretty. ;)

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

Buh? People hate Daniel? I've heard of Sam hate, but Daniel? Are they smoking something? I mean, even if I have favorite characters, I still love them all (well, not so much Kinsey and Simmons, but they're minor and supposed to be unlikeable). Silly people don't know what they're missing. *boggles*

You are *so* not alone in the Daniel love. One of reasons I gave SG-1 a try was that the 3 minutes of Daniel we get in SGA's "Rising" made me love the character.

(also, I missed your birthday while I was off not being online, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope this year brings much luck in things working out for the good)
