Link: J is for Jonas (and Jaffa, and Jack)
Why This Must Be Read:If you've ever wondered why Teal'c would urge Jack to consider accepting Jonas as a teammate, Chocolate Kettle does a superb job of getting into Teal'c's head and giving us a rational, in-character explanation. Add stellar Teal'c and Jack interaction and an extra dash of poignancy, and you've got a real keeper.
"Why are you so eager to have him on the team anyway, Teal'c?"
Because he sees the wonder in what we do, which we have forgotten. Because I see in him what Daniel Jackson might have been, had not his life shaped him differently. Because Daniel Jackson would have liked him and helped him, and Daniel Jackson is not here.
Because I know what it is to be an exile and a stranger here. Because you fought so that I would be given a chance to prove myself and I believe that Jonas Quinn deserves the same.
They were all good reasons and all true, but O'Neill was not yet ready to hear them. Teal'c said instead, "Because he has asked for my help and I have no reason to refuse. Why are you so strongly set against him, O'Neill?"
"He's an alien."
Teal'c raised a meaningful eyebrow.
