Time for some thrilling heroics.

I was guessing that Loki only knew that Jack was "special" because he found out that he'd downloaded the ancients. But that that's what he'd been testing for when he was capturing people.

I hateHATEhated the implication that Jack has a special brain/genetics (that was mentioned in the Jack 2.0 episode). Keep him normal, thanks. (Though not dumb, RDA, if you could)
Wordy mcWord, ita. To all of the above.
Coulda been midichlorians. Btw, they had Stargate comics at the store today. Did you know y'all know that?
