Why This Must Be Read: A Redbyrd ep tag is always a treat. In The Parting Glass, Redbyrd offers us a poignant, painful glimpse into one of the realities of the SGC: the many, many people who never make it back. The story is set against the backdrop of The First Ones, with Daniel's slow and horrified realization of just how many people died. There are memories of Robert Rothman, and the family and friends they've loved and lost, and the soldiers that should never remain nameless.
Everyone gets a little drunk, in the end, as Daniel recites the names of all those who were lost ever since the Tau'ri first ventured into the greater universe. And if you're a little teary-eyed by the end, too... well, I assure you you'll be in good company.
"Let's drink to SG-11," suggested Coburn.
"To all the dead," Pierce added.
"To all the dead." Daniel repeated softly. "Yes."
