Why This Must Be Read: This fun story, told from Daniel's POV with self-deprecating humor, gives us a fascinating look at Jack's early days as the head of the SGC and his struggles to be "The Man."

Daniel wonders, a little, why no one else at the SGC still relates to General Jack O'Neill the way they did before his promotion. Then an odd quirk of Jack's rapidly mutates into a near obsession, leaving poor Daniel sputtering and Teal'c wondering exactly what a "lucky Troll doll" really is. Sam, unfortunately, is too busy laughing at the situation to help very much. It takes Jack and Daniel's close friendship, and some truly honest conversation, to resolve the problem and help Jack come to a true acceptance of his new position and responsibilities.

We get Jack spelling FUBAR with his Alphabits, and some cracks in his "me dumb soldier" facade, and Sam and Jack intimidating everyone else in a lethal hand of cards. Read this one to enjoy some great teamy goodness and a truly human Jack with all the foibles that we've come to know and love!
