Of course if that Jack is really encountering Charlie, it presents a certain problem later on, when flesh-and-blood Jack joins them, because in any situation, Jack can't stand to hang around himself, and there's just one Charlie, and Mini!Jack will be coming some day too...
It kind of makes one wonder exactly what it is in the internal experience of Jack O'Neill that he bothers himself so. Is it the existence of Dark!Jack, the knowledge that his thoughts are often less noble than his deeds in someone who sets really high standards for behavior, or simply a feeling that his only true value lies in his uniqueness ("I think you'll find he's not like other people!") and only he knows how much of this is posturing instead of genuine idiosyncrasy? I'd love to know!
