Yeah, I can see this. What other more coherent people said above about Weir. And Rodney. And Radek. Though Sheppard has dark places when he goes into protective mode, so maybe not as surprising.

Mostly, SGA is my happy place fandom. I am much with the crack and the fanon. But I do have frequent huge issues with the ethics, decision-making, and actions of the canon characters. Especially Weir.

This is such a painful story. I think there might be a way of salvaging the expedition even at the point you ended at, but ... it would be very difficult and would call for some big changes in command and command structure.

Thanks for the thoughtful and thought-provoking story. ::thinks hard about story premises and repercussions:: I hope you're able to hold on to/rediscover your SGA love.
