Daniel and Nero

[fignewton]

So, I'm rereading an old friend for the nth time - Black Orchids, by Rex Stout - and the murder victim's name is Harry Gould.

I blinked. And then I suddenly became convinced that Daniel and Wolfe have got to meet. Maybe Daniel ends up visiting Wolfe in his cherished house in Cairo, where they stay up half the night talking in half a dozen different languages, while Jack cheerfully matches Wolfe beer bottle for beer bottle and Archie exchanges witty remarks with Sam.  And then they're back in Manhattan for some odd reason, and Wolfe is giving Teal'c a personal tour of the orchids, because flowers are a minor obsession of Teal'c's since he never had a chance to stop and smell the roses, much less the orchids, when he was First Prime, and he's studied the subject enough to hold his own in a conversation with Wolfe. They're trying to out-"Indeed" each other, anyway. And Daniel is in ecstacy over Fritz's coffee. And Lon Cohen and Emmett Bregman go way back - Saul Rubinek, BTW, did some fantastic audiobooks for some of the Nero Wolfe mysteries - and Emmett recommended Lon to the SGC as a reporter who would actually do them justice. And Saul Panzer would help uncover some wicked NID plot and help Jack stop Maybourne before he gets them into trouble.

I can't be the only SG-1 fan out there who loves Nero Wolfe mysteries, now can I?

I come by way of sg1_debrief

Saul Rubinek also played Lon Cohen in the A&E series. Seeing 'Nero Wolfe' as Nerus was a highlight of Season 9 for me. I really enjoyed the series. It's a shame it was canceled. I still they'd gotten around to an adaptation of Some Buried Caesar.

I can certainly imagine Jack sitting in a poker game with Archie, Lon, Orrie and Saul. Teal'c and/or Jonas I could see hanging out with Fritz in the kitchen. I think Sam and Archie would be rather amused by each other.

Isn't sg1_debrief just fantastic? Glad you found me. :)

::giggles hysterically::

It's fated, I tell you!

I must find some way to watch these A&E episodes somehow. They sound like they're really fun. Did Lily ever show up on the show, if they never did Some Buried Caesar?

But, yes! I can easily see Sam and Archie amusing each other tremendously.
And if Jonas gets into Fritz's kitchen and starts eating everything in sight, Fritz will chase him out with a spatula. :)

I know Lily showed up a couple of times. I distinctly remember seeing her dancing with Archie at the Flamingo. The biggest part she had was Death of a Doxy. Unlike the other episodes it was set in the 60s. Archie was as dapper as ever, but Lily's penthouse was all 60s modern. It was rather fun to look at.

Oh, thank you for the icon and that glimpse of Lily! My mental picture of her doesn't have long hair, but I suppose it fit the era of that specific episode. And I would dearly love to see the Flamingo! I must get a glimpse of the show one of these days. And mentally slot Daniel in there somewhere. :)
