I love the way you have intertwined the two programs here so that not only do they ultimately solve each other's problems, but there are little details like Jack and Al crossing paths, and paralleling each other in many little ways, and Teal'c being able to see that Sam C. is Sam B., and Sam fixing the Ziggy holographic stutter.
It was especially enjoyable to read this because a) apparently I get out too much (!) - most of the crossovers are to series I know nothing about, and this one I know, and b) because it eliminated - at least for right now - the weird little Cassie loop that always made my brain hurt a little with the sky-high "Wait, how does that work?!!!" factor, not to mention the way it provides an initial loop to explain how the canon loop got started. Still better, you managed to do it all without missing a single character beat (like Daniel taking the time to leave a note as to where to return the car. Very Daniel.) Very satisfying and ingenious.
