Why This Must Be Read: Even if you have only the vaguest concept of pTerry's Discworld, this absolute gem of a crossover is not to be missed. Read it for the sheer joy of in-character crackiness as Sam struggles with Discworld "science" and Unseen University, Jack squares off against Carrot and Vimes, Daniel suffers an anthropological crisis and meets Death, and Teal'c disapproves of their accidental annointment into the priesthood of Oz. This is the rational world meeting the irrationality of Discworld and saying, "ow!" - complete with laugh-out-loud moments that will make you want to read it all over again!
Not fifteen minutes after their arrival and not twenty feet away from the gate, SG-1 was arrested for damaging public property. Two watchmen made their way towards them, one of them built like a tower, even taller than Teal'c. He had fiery red hair. The other one was-- considerably smaller. And bearded. And wearing earrings and a leather dress. The crowd parted for them easily.
Daniel stared, and missed almost the entire introduction. Captain Carrot (yes, that seemed to be his real name) was very firm about the arrest. Jack relented in the face of an agitated crowd and the prospect of meeting the commander of the city watch, who was the closest thing to a leader they were likely to get their hands on at the moment.
"And what city would that be?" Sam asked conversationally, as they were following Captain Carrot through narrow alleys and dirty streets.
"Ankh-Morpork, of course," the smaller watchman said, eyeing her curiously. "How can you not know where you are?"
Sam just smiled politely in answer.
Later, standing in front of the commander of the city watch, Daniel realized that this would prove to be the most intriguing world he had set foot on so far. Two words: dwarfs and trolls. And also--
"Just so we've got this straight. You're Commander Vimes," Jack said. "And that was Captain Carrot and Corporal Cheery Littlebottom before? And Sergeant Stronginthearm at the front desk? Not to forget Sergeant Detritus. Not easily overlooked, that one."
The commander's eyes narrowed. "Yes," he confirmed slowly, as if he was waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Jack shared a look with his team. "Alright," he said after a moment. "Then let me introduce us. I’m Colonel Dense, this is our lovely Captain Proton, there we have Doctor Motormouth and… Hulk." He pointed at the four of them in turn.
Teal'c raised an eyebrow.
"I'll explain later," Sam whispered to him, barely able to keep a straight face.
Daniel frowned at Jack. "Excuse him. He's just kidding, Commander Vimes."
"You don't say," was the sarcastic retort, and suddenly Jack seemed to like the man immensely.
