Hamlet Never Saw This Coming Why This Must Be Read: It's the SG-1 team MSTing the SGA team's mission from "The Tower." What's not to love?
Seriously, this is just a short little piece that shows Cameron Mitchell slowly starting to integrate himself into SG-1, while doing a little light-hearted poking at the lead Atlantis team in the process. It's another one of those stories that I like to pull out for a pick-me-up, and it's well worth the read even though it's fairly short.
There were many (many) things that Cameron Mitchell had failed to anticipate when he'd joined Stargate Command and SG-1. Starting with the fact that there was no SG-1. But he'd gotten that fixed eventually and was therefore left to ponder the myriad smaller ways "be careful what you wish for" still ranked as a truism up there with "always wear clean underwear because you might get into an accident" any "always be nice to a lady because you never know who her daddy might be."
Most of this smaller group of surprises could be filed under You're Not Jack O'Neill, which he was prepared to accept because, well, he wasn't Jack O'Neill.
The rest, of course, got filed under Nobody Told You That SG-1 Was Completely Nuts But They Hide It Well.
