Wow! Finally a fic of the type I was expecting to read heaps of after that ep. (And a good fic too! Thank you so much!)

My pleasure. *g*

I've actually just mainlined first season again, and once you've seen the dodgy ethics of the second so very very visible, it's hard not to see the series of unethical decisions that lead them into hotter and hotter water for no actual benefit as the key S1 story arc too.

I know. It's hard to believe that something like that could be unintentional, but believing SGA has that much depth? I'm torn.

I'm hoping we'll get more of Kavanaugh next season - and that we'll find out what he was actually up to

My personal explanation will always be that he was in a relationship with an US marine - something he had to keep silent to protect his lover. *g*

Or - it could be interesting - to someone who does care about the ethical issues at SGC?

I have difficulties believing someone like that exists at the SGC. Because even if he did, the regular characters of SG-1 would make sure said person came across as an asshole.

He seemed in Letters from Pegasus to have some expectation that reporting violations of the Geneva Convention to O'Neill would be received seriously...

I believe that was desperation more than anything. When you feel you've been treated abysmally you cling to the hope that someone in power will listen and help. And I am certain Kavanagh's treatment by Weir made sure he ended up at the bottom of the social ladder in Atlantis.
