I do believe that if I did not have to go to work today, I would spend the entire day staring at this page, watching the cipher characters in case they move.
That said, here are some random thoughts that chased me down on the freeway today:
1. Nothing says that Delta will escape any eradication of all of the Ba'als while still inhabiting that host body. He may need another escape vehicle, and assuming that goa'uld and tok'ra and former hosts can all detect snaked people, he'd need an escape vehicle that was already known to have been snaked.
2. Virta and/or Cacirelli could be Goa'uld or Tok'ra, and nothing says that the Ba'al clones are the only snakes in the building. And JD may still have to kill Virta and/or Cacirelli anyway.
3. The only capital letters in the reports are in the headers. No-caps could be because the text has been dictated (which requires no hands), or because the person typing is typing one-handed. That and the intimidating injury warning-description has me cringing that while Cam may be coping with leg injuries, we have no proof that by the end of June JD will have functioning arms. Ow
( ... )
I've been assuming that if Virta was not the mostly-friend he may have seemed, it does not necessarily follow that he is an agent or sympathizer of Ba'al; he could be an agent of some other goa'uld or some other organization; the enemy of my enemy may be my enemy as well, you know? I'm fascinated that Delta's actions don't necessarily preclude any of those possibilities for Virta: mostly-friend, Ba'al's agent, other enemy agent.
Also? JD not noticing whether or not he has the earpiece on moment to moment is such an excellent touch... half the time I can't tell whether or not the feel of my own hands-free is really it being there, or the remembered feel of it against my ear.
Just when I think that this can't get more complicated for JD for his sense of self and who he thinks the people are around him things suddenly go sideways. OMG. You've managed to make the sense of quicksand so real, so many layers of deceit and feint and parry that the quiet insanity you warned us about is all too real. Oh JD! Magnificent.
Oh, fuck. Fuckfuckfuckityfuckfuck. Wow. I didn't see that coming. Delta. I think I like him, almost, in a creeped-the-fuck-out kind of way. And Virta - I was assuming he would get snaked some time in his future, because that would only be practical. Now I don't know what to think. And JD didn't once not-think-about-Mitchell in this part. That scares me.
It feels redundant to say so, but this whole thing is brilliant. Nothing short of amazing. I can't can hardly wait for the next part.
