Totally excellent. And I've been really bothered about that whole thing myself. Yes, Elizabeth mentions in following episodes how she crossed a line with her decision, but yeah... where are the physical consequences aside from her smote conscience? Yes, the military guys all toed the party line with the "in desperate times" stuff, but really... how would the science contingent react? And to what extreme? The writers really should've put even something in following eps about how many scientists left Atlantis because of what'd happened with Kavanagh.

Also, did Kav have any contact with any of the other expedition members after the aborted information retrieval, or did he immediately go back to the Daedalus? You did an excellent job with this, m'dear. And I'd love to know if Rodney was able to change some of the others' minds.

Really interesting how you had every one of the scientists going behind Rodney's back and completely undermining his authority. Et tu, Radek? Man, just knowing Rodney would call for a mandatory all-departmental meeting with the science departments after that confrontation makes me want to be a fly on that conference room wall!

Wow. Thank you for sharing this, hon.
