Why This Must Be Read: I love early-season Teal'c perspective, and this marvelous fic has that in spades: observing the "rites of mourning" in the wake of Kawalsky's death, his adaptation of Daniel's explanations to seek his own insight into the Tau'ri, his bemusement at Sam's eagerness to learn. This is Teal'c, at the very beginning -- superbly, wonderfully himself.
There are so many things to ask, every question leading to a dozen more, and he has been allowing himself to indulge his curiosity as he has not done since he was a child. It is all too easy among these people, who are constantly asking why and why must it be and why should we not as if they were not dangerous questions.
