Er, really? That's flattering! I do love the guy, and it's something of a mission to encourage writers to take him on. I get not connecting with him early on--I think connecting with Teal'c late makes it almost agonizingly awesome to go back to the early seasons and rewatch him integrate all these ideas. He has one of the most consistent, heroic story arcs that Stargate has ever managed. And the more I watch (I didn't get this the first time) the more I think that politics and the beginning of S8 might be the greatest tragedy of his life.
But the later seasons eps are some of my favorites. I saw Talion again the other night, and it was amazing how my empathy for the 'It's a Jaffa Revenge Thing YOU DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND' t-shirt he sometimes puts on has altered over the seasons. I used to be fairly ho-hum about it ('oh look, switching loyalties again, eh?') and now I'm all 'Oh no General, get the fuck out of a Jaffa's way.'
Aaaaaaaanyway. I'm going to pimp my stuff at you now: all my stories, I'll pull out stuff you may be more interested in if you want, but Into the Breach (which was my first Teal'c story) is set in ~S7 when you're watching. And this is my uber-list of Teal'c fic recommendations. There's incredible stuff there. I would particularly recommend Speak the Living, by paian if you're overwhelmed, though, as it is extraordinary, and set during S7 too, I believe.
