Why This Must Be Read: Harlan's creation of a robotic SG-1 has inspired some wonderful stories, and this is one of the best. It would be impossible to separate the drama from the humor in this piece; the comic dialogue works throughout to enhance the poignancy of the characters' situation. Plus, two Jacks (as they themselves point out) mean twice the sarcasm, twice the stunning good looks.

Last week’s rec was for a story many people probably missed; this is a classic that must be on the record for the SG-1 humor category. If you haven’t read this, you’re in for a treat.

Excerpt:

"Yes!" Harlan clapped his hands together delightedly. In the back corner of the room, both Jacks rolled their eyes. "Thank you, Major Carter, yes, that is it exactly. And then our Daniel Jackson can be downloaded into the new body. It is a very good thing our Samantha devised a way to transmit information between synthetic other bodies, a very good thing indeed. If we required a mental and emotional template as well it would take many days. As it is, our Jack O'Neill was able to accept our Daniel's transmissions all the way up until the moment of death and store them until a new receptacle could be created."

Jack looked at the other Jack, his eyebrows climbing. This was something he could respect. "You've got Daniel Jackson in your head?" And it's not exploding?
