There have been a lot of sterling moments in the posts (some, I admit, with which I disagree. Though I'm right there with you, MC, and Mr. MC, on "Need". Even worse, was that there were no consequences--no one took Daniel to task for what he did. In real life, Daniel would probably have been barred from going through the gate for a long time. The military is only going to give you one chance to hand your team over to the enemy in an effort to save the enemy.)
Something I don't think I saw mentioned: I had a real problem in "Small Victories" when Jack--a colonel--orders Davis--a major--to blow the bomb, and Davis looks over at Daniel for a go-ahead. What? Not only was it a direct order from a superior officer, but potentially the fate of the whole planet was at stake. What the heck does Daniel have to say about anything? I could see the scene if they'd played it so that Davis reaches for the button and Daniel grabs his hand, then Davis sort of gives him a "This has to be done and you know it" look and Daniel backs off. But the way it played on screen was ridiculous.
I also had a problem with telling Pete about the project. In TOT, Hammond is upset that they gave information to Catherine--and she had been aware of the gate since the '40's! Pete didn't really see that much. They could have simply told him that the ribbon device was a classified weapon prototype that this woman--a foreign agent--stole, and he can't tell anyone about it. As for any "glowing eyes", the response should have been, "REally? Perhaps we should tell your department about your drinking problem, Detective."
What's more, as it should have been obvious to anyone that he had to have followed her *and* almost messed up the operation, in that old real life again, I can't see the AF not telling her that Pete was a potential security risk--who knows when he might want yet more information and follow her again--and she had a choice, Pete or the SGC. The military and the intelligence agencies tend not to put anyone in sensitive positions if anyone they have a close or potentially close relationship with is a security risk.

I have been trying all manner of different swear words yet none of them seem to fit.
