* RefugeInAudacity: Basically the strategy the SGC use to 'save' Colson's reputation after [[spoiler:Daniel convinces him not to go public with his knowledge; inspired by ''Film/MissionImpossible'', they claim that the Colson who made the announcement about the Asgard was actually an impostor, imitating Colson's appearance with plastic surgery (really Daniel using an imaging device), acting as part of a conspiracy that intended to ruin Colson's company by destroying his reputation]].

*AscendedExtra: In a minor sense; where Jacob basically disappeared from the show between the breakdown of the Tok’ra alliance at the Alpha Site to the final battle with the Replicators, here he visits the SGC on behalf of the Tok’ra on a few other occasions. He returns to Earth after the battle with Anubis following the discovery of the Ancient outpost, and also meets with the team to tell them that Ares is going back to the planet where they left Maybourne.



*ScrewDestiny: While a few of Daniel’s early visions are examples of SelfFulfillingProphecy (see below), it’s soon established that what Daniel sees with his powers will only happen that way if nobody acts to change what he saw in those visions. Most notably, Daniel is able to [[spoiler:prevent the Wraith waking up on a large scale by warning Major Sheppard not to kill an alien woman he’ll meet once he goes to Atlantis (too many people had gone through the gate already for Daniel to just stop the expedition altogether)]]. Later on, when SG-1 visit Atlantis and Jack asks to be allowed to take out one of the puddle jumpers, Daniel has a vision of seeing Jack, Sam and Teal’c [[Recap/StargateSG1S8E20MoebiusPart2 being killed by Ra in the past]]. Daniel immediately declares that whatever reason they were going to go back in time, they’re not going to do it, even after they discover the Time Jumper on Maybourne’s planet.



* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Played with; a few of Daniel's earlier premonitions are of things that mostly end up happening because of his actions (such as Sam almost getting killed in a Goa'uld attack that only posed a threat to her because Daniel and Teal'c left the SGC and ended up on that planet to rendezvous with Jack and Sam), but in general it is soon established that Daniel's visions are of what would happen if he did nothing, with the SGC using the accompanying foreknowledge to prevent these futures from coming about.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: As Daniel's status as Dan'yar develops among the rebel Jaffa, one Jaffa, Har'tec, begins to spread doubt about Dan'yar among the Jaffa, believing that Dan'yar is basically trying to set himself up as the new god to the Jaffa. When an attempt to talk Har'tec down drives him to challenge Daniel to joma secu (ritual hand-to-hand combat), Bra'tac reminds Daniel that the winner can spare his opponent if he chooses, allowing Daniel to defeat Har'tec (his abilities boosting his strength and allowing him to anticipate some of Har'tec's attacks) and then inspire him to keep fighting for the freedom of all Jaffa, affirming that Dan'yar respects the Jaffa and just wants to help them become free rather than act as their ruler.

---> Daniel is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. He can speak over thirty languages and can read and write dozens of dead ones. Don't you have any idea of the significance of that? And then there's the staggering amount of knowledge he has of archaeology, anthropology and the history of languages. He has three Ph.D's, all of which he earned by the time he reached his mid-twenties. But that's not even half of it. Daniel is capable of these... these enormous leaps of logic that, many times, have left me in the dust. He doesn't think linearly. When everyone else is still on A and B, he's jumped completely over the rest of the alphabet and reached Z. He's the kind of person who can think outside the box with ease, and, quite often, he's out there all by himself. If he'd gone into our fields of science, if that's where his talents lie, he'd make you look like an idiot.

* ShoutOut: When Daniel talks about how Replicator Carter turned her arm into a sword, Jack asks Sam if she's seen ''[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Terminator 2]]'', but concedes that it's his "fault" when Sam points out he showed that on one of the team's film nights.

** When Daniel finds Sam in the nebula ("Grace"), he confirms that there is a race with a collective consciousness inside that nebula, explicitly comparing them to a benevolent version of the Borg (''Franchise/StarTrek'').
** Jack in particular makes various joking comparisons between Daniel and Franchise/{{Superman}} as he develops his abilities, particularly in regard to Daniel's SecretIdentity. Daniel at least once points out that the Franchise/XMen might be a better analogy, since they're the heroes with psychic powers.

---> I don't think it's necessary, not if you've read the mission reports with an unbiased eye and really seen the picture they've painted of SG-1. Our record speaks for itself. Our so-called 'intermittent successes' have saved Earth from destruction repeatedly, have gained us powerful allies, have resulted in the deaths or defeat of several Goa'uld, have saved too many human civilizations in the galaxy to name, and have given Earth powerful weapons capable of defending us from attack. To say that a handful of mistakes and errors in judgment is enough to overwhelm all that is ludicrous and insulting. As to the issue of disregarding military authority, if you had to choose between following orders or saving the entire planet, what do you think would be the best choice to make? And as for some of your other arguments against SG-1, they're too short-sighted, illogical and unreasonable for me to even bother with.
* SmallNameBigEgo: [[spoiler:Soren is more clearly presented as such; he's still TheFundamentalist, but with Daniel's powers to turn the tables against him, Soren has less chance to show off his own tactical abilities, Jack dismissing the other man as an idiot given his fanatical devotion to 'gods' who don't even know he exists and wouldn't care about him even if they did]].

* BigEntrance: When dealing with [[spoiler:Ba'al and Moloc]], Daniel puts aside his usual discomfort about showing off his powers to make as dramatic an entrance as possible, such as tossing away the guards around a door or a Stargate and declaring his status as Dan'yar.



* BothSidesHaveAPoint: When Ishta learns that Daniel is Dan'yar, she is initially angered that Teal'c and Bra'tac didn't tell her that Dan'yar was available to help them against Moloc, but while Daniel concedes that his presence would be helpful, he helps Ishta see that making his presence public knowledge could encourage Moloc to deploy more resources against the Hak'tyl than they can resist.

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Essentially applies to the Atlantis expedition; thanks to Daniel and Sam using the Ancient knowledge in Daniel’s subconscious, they’re able to develop the Liquid Naquadah Generators, which give Stargates on Earth and Atlantis the necessary boost to dial eight-chevron addresses and keep in more regular contact than was possible in the shows, although they will require regular refuelling to keep the generators in working order]].

* ColdBloodedTorture: Disregarded; Daniel refuses to use his abilities to torture Ba'al and Moloc as he recognises that torturing them would be torturing the relatively innocent host, explicitly requesting that the Hak'tyl kill Moloc in a humane manner rather than burn him alive like they were planning.

Daniel is capable of these... these enormous leaps of logic that, many times, have left me in the dust. He doesn't think linearly. When everyone else is still on A and B, he's jumped completely over the rest of the alphabet and reached Z. He's the kind of person who can think outside the box with ease, and, quite often, he's out there all by himself. If he'd gone into our fields of science, if that's where his talents lie, he'd make you look like an idiot.

---> I don't think it's necessary, not if you've read the mission reports with an unbiased eye and really seen the picture they've painted of SG-1. Our record speaks for itself. Our so-called 'intermittent successes' have saved Earth from destruction repeatedly, have gained us powerful allies, have resulted in the deaths or defeat of several Goa'uld, have saved too many human civilizations in the galaxy to name, and have given Earth powerful weapons capable of defending us from attack. To say that a handful of mistakes and errors in judgment is enough to overwhelm all that is ludicrous and insulting. As to the issue of disregarding military authority, if you had to choose between following orders or saving the entire planet, what do you think would be the best choice to make?
