Why This Must Be Read: A look at the Daniel who returns after the events f meridian and Fallen through the eyes of his team, especially Jack.



Jack had found himself watching Daniel ever since they’d returned from Vis Uban. Not exactly staring at the guy, just quick, surreptitious glances, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Daniel he’d once known in the almost stranger they’d brought back to Earth.

Almost stranger because, although they knew it was really Daniel, sent back from ascension - his intervention in their fight against Anubis was as good a reason as any for getting kicked out of the ascended club – he had no memory of them, and apart from the physical likeness, there appeared to be nothing left of the Daniel they’d known. A slate wiped clean.

Hell of a way to reward a guy for helping to get rid of a slimy snake like Anubis. Not only send him back but wipe out any memories of the only family he’d ever had in a very long time.

Still, he’d made the decision to return to Earth with them, and once his mind was made up, he set out with a purpose, striding ahead of Jack, Sam and Teal’c toward the gate, as though he was afraid any hesitation would be enough to have him change his mind and stay.
