Indeed. It also brings to mind ideas which are probably best discussed in the Daniel Thunk Thread!
I think I've already mentioned how much I enjoyed Machello's almost childlike wonder at his new lease of life. On top of that, though, it was also quite bittersweet in that he'd had to claim his new life at the expense of someone else, particularly as he had more or less shoved it to the back of his mind; a sort of 'I gave my whole life for these people, so I deserve something back'. It clearly hadn't occurred to him that what he'd done was very, very 'Goa'uld-ish', so I wasn't surprised when he took such enormous offence at Daniel for pointing that out. It's not nice to find out that, after years fighting someone you despise, you end up doing something that makes you just like that someone.
Plus the bodyswapping was fun. It would have been fun if Sam had been switched as well, though I thought also it would have been particularly hilarious if Hammond had been swapped with someone!
