Why This Must Be Read:Teal'c spent eight years trying to free his people, only to see the Jaffa Council descend into petty squabbling and self-interest in the wake of all his sacrifice. If (like me) you were frustrated by the Jaffa storyline in S9-10, then this ficlet is definitely for you!

When a frustrated Teal'c returns to the SGC after a trying visit to Dakara, Daniel shows up at his door to offer words of empathy and encouragment. The short conversation that follows bespeaks years of friendship and philosophical discussion, as Teal'c and Daniel consider the difficulty of reshaping thought and habit and the challenge of beginnings. With a wry tagline and a light touch, Politics is a lovely look at a friendship that defies expectations and continues to thrive.
