Why This Must Be Read: Fire and Water is one of my favorite episodes. This reads like a novelization of Daniel’s POV, trapped in the underwater lab, for the first half and then there’s a lot of lovely team reunion feelings that we didn’t get to see in the episode as everyone tries to get back to equilibrium.
Daniel looked at the new wall of cuneiform the creature had just revealed and sighed. Every time he read a bunch of this stuff, the alien would slide open another panel, and behind it would be more of the Babylonian script. It was like an oral final in ancient languages, one where he'd attended class but hadn't bothered to study. He squinted and peered at the new script. Going this long without his glasses always gave him a headache. " 'If a free man-- accuses another of murder-- and fails to prove-- the accuser shall be put to death.' Okay, that's interesting. Now what the hell does it mean?"
