I know the "straw" thing has been interpreted a lot of different ways, but I just always felt there was something more to it canonwise (rather than the likely obvious explanation it was a throwaway button line)...like a conspiracy the way Teal'c and Sam acted before following Daniel.

Poor George. It's frustrating since he and Jack and the audience know what the score is, but the poor team is left in the dark. You keep wanting them to figure it out.

Teal'c and Daniel. I think I'd been watching too many of those joint kel'no'reem scenes while writing this. LOL. Their friendship is really sweet...and very complex. LOL

And I think moonshayde and t.o. would've throttled me through the internet if I hadn't finished it, and it didn't happen *too long* after you returned, hee. Glad you found it worth the wait.
