Why This Must Be Read: Jonas said, "The truth is, I don't think that Colonel O'Neill was very comfortable having me around."
Daniel said, "That's not what he told me. ..."
Take that quote from Homecoming and give it the classic Paian treatment for sharp and shrewd amnesiac!Daniel, using all his skills as an archaeologist to explore the mystery that is Dr. Daniel Jackson... and his friendship with Jack O'Neill.
Lovely stuff!
So he studied Daniel Jackson's professional history the way his curriculum vitae informed him he had studied the history and languages of this planet. He made private, independent assessments of the people around him, uncontaminated by what others might have told him about them or about his past interactions with them. He learned what he could learn by reading. What the four members of SG-1 didn't seem to realize, despite knowing full well that one of Doctor Jackson's specialties was anthropology, was that he was nearly as good at reading people as he was at reading text.
