Michael Shanks knows canon!

This is the post I thought I would never EVER make, because I'm a character fan, not an actor fan. That is, I adore Daniel Jackson. Michael Shanks is just this nice guy who plays Daniel Jackson.

But I think I just became a Michael Shanks fan, because I followed a link on my flist to his current blog post. (Be aware: possible spoilers for future eps and the movies in these posts of his, including one for tonight that was vague enough not to bother me, but might bother others.) He complains that he and Ben Browder are rarely in a scene together - tonight's episode, apparently, is a rare exception.  And then I read this line and laughed. out. loud:

Maybe it's because the TPTB feel that the audience will become confused: I'm the one wearing the glasses; he's got the southern drawl (although, he's apparently from Kansas). Go figure.

Yeah. I tried to tell myself it was one of his own books from Earth that he was using as a reference.

Re the new glasses: it took five or six episodes before they started to grow on me. I still prefer the round frames, but they're not so bad once you get used to them. Changing frames is always a bit startling, especially when he's essentially been wearing the same style for nine years. :)
