Why This Must Be Read: Being alien doesn't just mean a lack of knowledge of Tau'ri culture; it means a Jaffa culture, too. And this thoughtful, beautifully Teal'cish five things does a superb job of highlighting different aspects of Jaffa culture that SG-1 never fully comprehend.
Sholva marks Teal'c of Chulak as dead to all Jaffa. A living ghost who will never achieve the glory of afterlife promised by the Goa'uld.
Teal'c had long believed he would never achieve any kind of peace in his afterlife; he had committed too many sins but the word never fails to sting, and he could never bear his team-mates to know and see pity for him in their faces.
At Dakara, Teal'c hears himself reborn as Teal'c of the Tau'ri and considers that perhaps it is right that his other self is considered dead.
