What an remarkable post. And you've given me lots of thinky thoughts about how Teal'c compresses so much development into the ten years of his (current) time at the SGC. And yet, all those other years of processing and feelings that he didn't get to really express. All the playfulness he didn't get to show.

I love what you've said about the way he became "just Teal'c". Makes me totally anticipate where he will go in the two movies. I can't wait.

And I'm thinking of Teal'c spending time with the rest of SG-1 knowing what he knows, what he's learned over those ten years. And how they might all respond to him based on that.
