So, I'm rereading an old friend for the nth time - Black Orchids, by Rex Stout - and the murder victim's name is Harry Gould.
I blinked. And then I suddenly became convinced that Daniel and Wolfe have got to meet. Maybe Daniel ends up visiting Wolfe in his cherished house in Cairo, where they stay up half the night talking in half a dozen different languages, while Jack cheerfully matches Wolfe beer bottle for beer bottle and Archie exchanges witty remarks with Sam. And then they're back in Manhattan for some odd reason, and Wolfe is giving Teal'c a personal tour of the orchids, because flowers are a minor obsession of Teal'c's since he never had a chance to stop and smell the roses, much less the orchids, when he was First Prime, and he's studied the subject enough to hold his own in a conversation with Wolfe. They're trying to out-"Indeed" each other, anyway. And Daniel is in ecstacy over Fritz's coffee. And Lon Cohen and Emmett Bregman go way back - Saul Rubinek, BTW, did some fantastic audiobooks for some of the Nero Wolfe mysteries - and Emmett recommended Lon to the SGC as a reporter who would actually do them justice. And Saul Panzer would help uncover some wicked NID plot and help Jack stop Maybourne before he gets them into trouble.
I can't be the only SG-1 fan out there who loves Nero Wolfe mysteries, now can I?

Re: Nero and not burning Rome
And that's Nerus, isn't it? Oh, good grief. Six degrees in every which direction!
Wolfe would be triply outraged by Sam: she's a woman, and she's brilliant, and she's a techno whiz. But I think Sam and Archie would get along quite well. His admiration of legs notwithstanding, Archie has always struck me as someone who appreciates intelligence and wit. Sam ought to be a major hit, if you'll pardon the pun.
I want to see Fritz and Teal'c discussing cooking. And Jack will get Fritz to make his omelet with the super secret ingredient of beer. :) And Daniel would get on splendidly with Saul, too.
Time travel or no, I want this crossover!
