>I totally have to fanwank a lot of it away, because I like Jack, and I don't want to not-like him the way I would not-like him if that was the way he really was.
Yes. Exactly. I like Jack and I respect Jack and I even love Jack, the way he is in my internal construction of him. And if my choices are "believe canon and stop liking and respecting and loving Jack" or "blame RDA (rightly or wrongly), throw canon out the window, and keep loving Jack"... Well, I know which I chose.
(And YES. You know what that moment of Daniel Awesome reminded me of? E-verse. The way Daniel is always at his most compelling when he's at his most frightening, the way he is strange and inhuman and powerful and terrifying and the show so rarely seems to realize that. Speaking of which, I owe you E-verse feedback!)
