He recognized the address of P1X-994 as a world once ravaged by Apophis and his Jaffa. While Teal’c had never personally been there, he had no doubt that his appearance would hinder the mission. O’Neill was likely to protest if Teal’c removed himself on that basis alone. Therefore, after some deliberation, Teal’c was able to present certain angles of the truth more strongly than others, and received permission from General Hammond to go to the Land of the Light and visit his son. The mission to P1X-994 went smoothly without him.

SG-1 got into a firefight with Jaffa serving Yu and in the process did considerable damage to a tree of great significance to a race known as the Koliad. Daniel Jackson was distressed, not only at the damage but at the potential to harm relations with the Koliad. Teal’c neatly covered the bullet holes with staff blasts which could be blamed on Yu’s Jaffa.

With less than a second to spare, he prevented O’Neill from petting what, to Tau’ri eyes, appeared to be a dog. It was in fact a vosh-da, revered on most worlds not ruled by the Goa’uld. Touching a vosh-da was permissible only after undergoing a ritual cleansing, which O’Neill of course had not. Daniel Jackson believed that, had Teal’c not intervened, SG-1 would have been taken as temple servants for a year of atonement.

While his teammates attempted to convince the inhabitants of P4Z-287 that SG-1 meant no harm by interrupting the crowning of their king, Teal’c noticed a suspicious person. He kept a close watch and, when the man pulled out a knife in close proximity to the king, Teal’c swiftly disarmed the would-be assailant without causing any permanent damage. The king was most grateful and SG-1’s interruption was immediately forgotten.

He convinced the Ophivo that their stew was delicious but, unfortunately, the other members of SG-1 were vegetarians. This eliminated the likelihood that Major Carter, who was not talented at hiding her disgust when she disliked food, would offend the highly sensitive and naquadah-rich Ophivo. The stew was the single most disgusting thing Teal’c had ever eaten, made of animal organs never meant to be consumed. In thanks each of his teammates took him out for an excellent dinner on Earth.

I love the range of ideas here, and the way that he prevents incidents through both action and inaction. Poor Teal'c, taking one for the team in #5!

Same here!

Excellent! #2 and #3 are my favorites. Poor Teal'c - both of us made him eat disgusting food. *g*

very interesting.

Excellent list. I wished we'd seen more of Teal'c's knowledge put to work like this on the show. :)

Nice ideas! Quick thinking with the stew and the vegetarians. *g*

Daniel Jackson believed that, had Teal’c not intervened, SG-1 would have been taken as temple servants for a year of atonement.
That could have been very relaxing ... *lol*
