Stargate (SG-1) 5x19 -- Menace

Oh, Daniel. No wonder he wanted to ascend. You can just feel his utter hopelessness.

And fuck, it didn't have to go down that way. Carter was wrong. That bug wasn't acting on its own, it was indecisive because Reese was. They were too reactionary. Again, I understand why Daniel decided to throw in with Oma's philosophy.

Which also ended up failing him.

Daniel is now this big huge ache in my heart. So many levels of ouch.
