Why This Must Be Read: When a weary, heartsick Sam post-2010 meets Doctor John Smith at an astrophysics conference, their conversation on time travel and consequences is both absorbing and oddly comforting.
Like me, you needn't be a Doctor Who fan to thoroughly enjoy the discussion between these two; while I imagine that all of the Doctor's "hypotheticals" are actual canon references, it doesn't matter from a Stargate perspective. But if you do watch Doctor Who, you definitely won't want to miss this intelligent and intriguing character study.
By the time the waitress stopped to ask if she should set another place, the salt and pepper had been commandeered to represent Neptune and Pluto, a glass was the sun, bits of her bread roll were various trans-Neptunian objects, and three more napkins were covered with formulae written in two different hands.
"Would you like to join me?" Sam asked. It was invigorating to be so intellectually stimulated, to talk to someone who actually understood what she was talking about, and more, had something to contribute to the discussion.
"I'd be delighted, Major Carter."
"I didn't catch your name, Doctor...?" Sam said.
"Smith, John Smith," he said. "But people call me the Doctor."
"The Doctor?" She supposed that with a name like John Smith, he'd rather use a nickname; that or he had a very large ego. But if he did, he was still a lot more charming than Rodney McKay.
"Yep." He smiled. "The Doctor, that's me."
