Also on the Jacob note, there are so many similarities between Jack and Jacob.
1) Career military
2) Both made rank of General
3) Both (IMO) allowed their careers to cause them to miss things in their children's early years. (Sam and Jacob weren't close until he became a Tok'ra. Jack was Black Ops and away a lot, including his time as a POW.)
4) Both are ingrained with a sense of duty and honor.
5) Both men go by the 'ends justifies the means' philosophy and are willing to buck the system if it means earth's safety. (How many times did SG1, under Jack's command, ignore an order to do what was best for Earth? Didn't Selmak suddenly become 'untrustworthy' in the eyes of the other Tok'ra because of Jacob's relationship to Earth?)
6) Both men would rather die than lose Sam. (In reality, Jacob did die to protect Sam and the rest of the life in the Universe. If he had let Selmak leave him sooner, he would have had a chance at life, but he needed Selmak to help Sam save the Universe. I just hope TPTB are smart enough not to kill Jack in a similar situation.)
