Colonel O'Neill's Musings…

This story comes from watching "Window of Opportunity" way to many times.

Warning: Massive amounts of spoilers for "Window of Opportunity"

Wow, that was a really bright light. Kinda sucked. Am I dead?

Wait, what the hell just happened? Didn't this already happen twice?

"Is something wrong?" Carter asked, concern evident on her face.

"Yes," I answered, slightly pissed. The loop had begun, again.

I had thought that the when it happened the last time, it wouldn't loop again. I guess this means I gotta go through Carter's yapping, Daniel's disbelief and yes, that wonderful penlight of doc's. This day was just turning out to be wonderful.

And yes, as predicted the penlight came again. I hate that thing. I have no idea what purpose it could possible serve. I can't think of any thing it would tell Frasier.

Teal'c and I seriously have to figure out something to do, because I don't think I can start over again, the Froot Loops are starting to get a little bland.

I hate this! We're stuck in the damn time loop. The archeologist guy, whatever his name is, didn't even want to talk about it, he even faked not knowing who we were. Yeah, like that really worked. Ha! He knew Carter's name and rank.

I could strangle that little piece of worthless crap. Gaah

So now Teal'c and I are stuck studying a long dead language, Latin, joy. Let's just say it was not one of my most shining moments. Far from it, even.

Reiterating Daniel's question from something like two loops ago, why us why not him and Carter – they're the real brains of the crew, well, Teal'c helps, but me. That's a laugh, a real hearty one at that, perhaps even a knee slapper.

Oh, now I've gone and zoned out again, great. I wonder what we're doing now.

I am sick and tired of learning a new language, I don't care if I've spoken it before, I don't remember any of it. Thankfully the Asgard were able to put me back to normal, it really sucked not being able to talk to any body and having something else guiding me. I hate that kinda stuff.

I seriously think I'm losing it, I have no idea how many times we've started this day. And why, oh why did I have to eat Froot Loops that morning, why not oatmeal or pancakes, something tasty?

Danny, bright, wonderful, insightful Daniel. Why didn't I think of that? We can do what ever we want, and nobody is gonna remember! This is awesome. Think, think, what could we do?

You know, I've always wanted to learn how to make pottery, or perhaps…oooh, that would be fun.

I think Teal'c has natural talent for golf, if we ever completely get rid of those snake-heads I think he could probably play pro – almost.

Okay, so the bike was a bad idea, I got into a lot of trouble for that, but hey, nobody remembers. Except me an' Teal'c. And he's been doing some crazy stuff too. I think I saw him smile the other day. Real crazy.

We still have found some time to work with Daniel about the stupid translation but there is also time for some fun. I think I know what I'm gonna do next, but I have to make sure that I'm definitely ready for it.

I did it, I actually kissed Carter. I've been dying to do that for so long. It felt good. The problem is I can't tell her. She knows something happened, but, hey, she doesn't remember. That's something I'll never forget, never.

Took us damn well long enough but we stopped the freaking time loop. Who would have thought that one guy could mess up the lives of so many others just to watch his wife die again? Who the hell would want that? Not me, not ever.

Maybe someday I'll tell Sam what I did during the time loop, but I think it'll have to wait for a while. We've got to work together for a while.

But one of these days…………
