SG1
Books & TV


He came to the door quietly. It was open, so he just stared at the man until he was noticed. It didn't take long before he was spotted.

"Jack."

"Daniel."

There was a pause.

"Jack."

"Daniel."

"What's going on, Jack?"

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

The younger of the two removed his glasses and tilted his head. "No. What's wrong. Did something happen?"

"There seems to be a bit of a buzz about you. Well, more your book than you. But, well ... you."

Closing his eyes, Daniel sighed. "Oh god, what now?"

Smirking, Jack plopped in his usual chair whenever he visited Daniel's lab. "Someone's taken up the baton and there's an entire show devoted to the subject on cable."

Daniel just sat there, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Anything you want to say, Daniel?"

"TV?"

"TV."

"That little guy that did Wormhole Extreme?"

"No, not him. Seems there's another wacko out there."

"Alien?"

Jack chuckled. "You'd think so, with the hair. But no."

"Referencing my work."

"Yep."

"Name of the yahoo?"

"George Sulu, Sookalo, Sookie, Sooey or something."

"Giorgio Tsoukalos?"

Jack points at him. "That's the one.

"Oh god, what's that little troll done now?"

"Well, the History Channel seems to love this guy."

"The History Channel."

"Yup."

"I'm almost afraid to ask."

"'Ancient... Aliens.'"

"Seriously?"

"Yup."

"And he's referencing my work?"

"Yup."

"What's the damage?"

"Well, there hasn't been any technology referenced exactly, but they've been skirting around the issue enough to get the Joint Chiefs in a snit."

"And they're blaming me?"

"You did write the book."

"That was before I was in the program!"

"I know."

"Is it popular?"

"Is what popular?"

"That show."

"Watched it. Reminds me of a bunch of tin foil hat people with dramatic music. Seems to be popular with the younger generation, and some housewives."

Daniel's head fell to hit his desk with a thunk.

Sam arrived at the door to see Daniel as he is, with a smug Colonel grinning at him. "So, you told him, sir?"

"Oh, yeah."

There was some mumbling from the desk.

"What was that?" Jack said with his hand to his ear.

Daniel looked up. "I said, I'm going to shave that man's head."

Smirking, Sam lifted her hands and tilted her head. "Aliens."

"Shut up," Daniel groused.


A/N: Just thought of what might have happened had SG1 been around at the same time as that show, and everyone's reaction to it.
