Katie is precisely correct, especially with regards to the issues of the SGC stuff. Because, c'mon-- Carter asked specially! Doesn't he like Carter anymore?

And yet, I still liked it. Cause good writing will totally do that to me.

True, Betsy. But my response is entirely felt as opposed to reasoned. Clearly the SGC would be a bad place under the control of the NID.

Also also, he explicitly gave himself no out. He told Atlantis not to listen to any of them, no matter what; if she takes him seriously, she won't talk to him either.

Dana, I'll sit on your bench with you.
