Why This Must Be Read: From the first time Sam hears a casual reference to Doctor Daniel Jackson in the pre-Stargate days to a useful talent gained via Daniel's experiences on digs in Mexico, this lovely five things features those unexpected moments when his fellow teammates discover something about his past. Light and bittersweet and haunting in turns, Smilebackwards does a wonderful job of giving us glimpses of the complexity that goes into making one glorious Daniel whole.


SG-1 is gathered in Daniel’s office when Jack, who does not understand the concept of personal space (with regard to Daniel in any case), pulls a copy of Steven Rayner’s latest bestseller out of one of Daniel’s cabinets and drawls, “Daniel, what’s this?”

Daniel vaguely remembers getting a little drunk and scribbling devil horns and a twisted mustache on his ex-sort-of-friend’s smirk-smiling face which, of course, graces the book’s cover.
