Daniel was sitting in his office, going over mission reports from his latest trip to Avalon, trying to see if he'd missed anything regarding the ancient device they needed to find. He heard footsteps and looked up to see Jack O'Neill striding towards him with an obviously angry look on his face.
'Uh oh, I hope this isn't directed towards me!'
"Jack, what's up?"
"I'm so angry right now Daniel that I could spit nails! I want to meet with all of you right now. Can you get the team here?"
"Sure, hold on, I'll call them."
After making the necessary calls, he hung up and noticed Jack pacing back and forth at a fast clip.
Soon, Cam, Vala, Sam and Teal'c entered the room and looked at Jack expectantly.
"Okay, Jack, what's wrong?" Daniel stood up from behind his desk and walked over to Jack.
Jack looked at him with an angry, red face and exclaimed, "My favorite TV show has been canceled! I just found out from the Internet that "The Simpson's" are not being picked up for another season! I can't believe it! Do you know how many fans there are out there that are going to be ticked off? I found a petition online that I signed, begging the Powers That Be to reconsider. I have all their seasons on DVD and I checked and found out that all the Animators were willing to work another year, but the head exec's said, "No."
Sam looked at Daniel and said, "I can't believe that! What is the reason they gave?"
"Low ratings, but I don't believe that," Jack said. "This just can't be happening!"
"Okay, Jack. Calm down. Are you sure about this? It could just be a rumor that's floating around." Daniel patted Jack on the back, offering comfort.
"Yes, I'm sure it's true. I checked the official web site and they've confirmed it." Jack resumed pacing and looked bereft.
"I do not believe the producers of the show would allow this to happen, O'Neill. Maybe it will be shown on another television channel." Teal'c tried to offer comfort but was unsure what else to say.
Vala asked, "What's 'The Simpson's?"
"I'll explain later," Daniel said. "You need to see it to understand it."
'How can I explain it? I'll have to bring in my DVD's. That's all there is to it."
Jack said, "I know one thing. It won't go down without a fight!"
With that, Jack left Daniel's office and headed for the briefing room.
"Follow me! We have to come up with a plan!"
Sam turned to the others and said, "We have to help him. He looks like he's gonna have a stroke!"
"Call Dr. Lam and have her meet us in the briefing room, and hurry!" Daniel said as he ushered them all out of his office and locked the door. "Hurry, Sam. He shouldn't be alone at a time like this!"
