Why This Must Be Read:
This was another classic that was recced back in 2005 but alas, the links are no longer working. So without further ado ....

This is one delicious crossover adventure, a classic horror scenario (Mysterious Ancient Death on Isolated Island), where both groups think they really know what is going on, and that the other group really ought to get lost before they land in something bigger than they can handle... and they then proceed to astonish each other with how well they handle it.

I liked all the little touches, like how Giles mentions the Gould as extra-dimensional snake-like demons that take hosts; or the way Major Davis rings up when he finds out that Daniel wanted a security check on Dr. Giles; how Daniel and Giles dance around each other trying to find out the locations of ancient documents; and basically how everyone keeps on lying to each other, while the other party is clever enough to know that they're being lied to, but not daring to call them on it, for fear of being called on their own feeble cover stories...

rubs hands in glee
