Why This Must Be Read:
This was another classic that was recced back in 2005 but alas, the links are no longer working. So without further ado ....
This is one delicious crossover adventure, a classic horror scenario (Mysterious Ancient Death on Isolated Island), where both groups think they really know what is going on, and that the other group really ought to get lost before they land in something bigger than they can handle... and they then proceed to astonish each other with how well they handle it.
I liked all the little touches, like how Giles mentions the Gould as extra-dimensional snake-like demons that take hosts; or the way Major Davis rings up when he finds out that Daniel wanted a security check on Dr. Giles; how Daniel and Giles dance around each other trying to find out the locations of ancient documents; and basically how everyone keeps on lying to each other, while the other party is clever enough to know that they're being lied to, but not daring to call them on it, for fear of being called on their own feeble cover stories...
rubs hands in glee
As soon as they were on the flat ground, they all removed their packs, and most of them found something to sit on while they caught their breaths.
“So, what brings you folks to this island paradise?” asked Jack. “You’ve missed the bird watching season.”
“What?” asked the older man. “Oh…um…archaeology, actually. I’ve heard that there are some interesting ruins here, that my students and I want to have a look at.”
‘Ah shit!’ thought Jack, but he hoped he kept his reaction off his face. “Ruins?”
“Yes,” said the man. “Up at the northern end of the island. Near where we saw you from the boat.”
Jack knew it was pointless to try to deny it. “Yep, that was us.”
“So, you’re archaeologists?” asked the man.
“Who, us?” asked Jack. “No, we just came along to help carry stuff.” He stuck out his hand. “Jack O’Neill.” He nodded toward Teal’c. “And this is Murray.”
The man shook his hand. “Rupert Giles.”
‘Aw shit!’ thought Jack again. He’d thought the voice was familiar. He almost didn’t catch the first name, as Rupert started to introduce the others. The blonde was named Buffy. ‘What sort of parent would name their kid Buffy?’ he asked himself, as Rupert introduced the others.
“So, you’re all archaeology students?” asked Jack.
“Nyah,” said the one named Xander. (Did none of these people have normal names?) “They just brought me along to help carry stuff.”
