Why This Must Be Read: This is one of rhymer23's humorous stories, in which John tries to be a "Dark Lord" and to get the rest of the team to act the part as his minions - with hilarious and increasingly unsuccessful results, as they all get it hopelessly wrong. It's not entirely clear what's going on, whether it's multiple universes or a shared virtual environment, but however he manages it, John keeps having to scrap the current Dark Lord iteration and try again. And again. And again. It's very funny, really well written, and highly recommended.
"Besides," McKay said with an air of utter certainty, "you can't be evil; you haven't got a beard."
The man in black's hand rose almost to his chin, then fell again. "Beards," he said firmly, "are not essential for evil. Evil doesn't lie in trappings, but is a state of mind."
"I know my Star Trek," McKay declared. "Evil mirror universes: beards. No beard: not evil. So run along like a good colonel--"
"Evil colonel," the man in black said weakly.
"--and let me get on with my work."
The man in black sighed. "I think we need to start this story again," he said firmly.
