Oh, man. SGC is fucked. Because the Jaffa aren't going to take kindly to the Tauri exterminating millions of their people. Even if it wasn't the SGC, they're not going to draw that distinction.
River ,'Out Of Gas'
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
I hadn't even gotten that far, Suela, but I think you're right. I mean, the show may or may not go there, but clearly I should start a movement to get people to write fic on the topic. (I should probably lie about the joys of writing Jaffa in order to do that...)
I notice that what sounds suspiciously like a failed pilot is on Sci-Fi tonight, starring Shiri Appleby (Roswell), Richard Burgi (Sentinel), John deLancie (Star Trek: Whatever) and David Hewlett (aka McKay on Stargate: Aquarium). It's probably really awful....
It looks like Buffy meets Witchblade.
Sure, neither of them are on the air anymore, but that's no excuse.
I thought it looked like cheesie fun.
What I want to know is why SGC didn't destroy the poison if they weren't going to use it, rather than just leave it for the unethical?
They said they'd only use it for "defense"--presumably in case of a full-scale invasion of Earth.
why SGC didn't destroy the poison if they weren't going to use it
Here's a question. Where was the poison and how much of it was there? If it was at Area 51, how did the Trust get it out of there, and if they beamed it up to the ship, why was there any of it in that warehouse?
Would the SGC really keep enough of the stuff on hand to kill millions of Jaffa? (Side note: disposing of unused chemical weapons is very difficult, costly, and dangerous. It's a good idea not to make more than you're pretty damned sure you're gonna need.)
I really didn't like Jack's uncertainty there at the end, although he didn't have the information he needed about the Trust -- no, wait, that's not true. Daniel had seen the chemical weapons at the warehouse. So he did know, or at least suspect, what they were doing with the gate and the poison. That makes it even worse, really.
I can't say it's entirely out of character, but. Hmmm.

Well, it's not a chemical weapon that can harm anyone currently on Earth, right? So they could just pop the seal.

I kinda doubt they tested it for its effects on wildlife and flora, though. Or to see if it has long-term impacts on air or water quality.
Just because it doesn't kill human beings immediately doesn't make it nonhazardous to every other Earth-based organism.

They could just shove it through the gate to a world that's already a mess, like the original Tollan homeworld. Easy peasy.
What?
