| once, just once i want to see them face the consequences of their actions. way back in one false step when they thought they had caused 'the plague' janet said 'i'm surprised it hasn't happened before' referring to an innocent virus the humans were carrying decimating a whole population.
to me they just took the 'let's warp science and pull a happy ending out of the fire' easy way out.
in my opinion how it should have ended:
after jack's 'you'r god is an alien' speech, danny comes up with getting frair to tell the gtau to follow the tau'ri to another world. frair agrees since this will save lives and not infringe on the treaty. but thanks to jack's speech, not all of them go...their faith in their god is shaken enough that they don't trust frair's word.
days, weeks later the gate from gtau is opened and the sgc go to investigate. they find the people who stayed behind dead and dying...see if jack hand't have shaken their faith in the first place, they would have left and lived...sam killed the people by taking short cuts, jack killed the people by destroying their faith, the asgard killed the people by not doing anything...sg-1 faces the consequences for traipsing willy nilly about the universe.
it would have been a nice allusion to all the 'primitive' people that have been destroyed by well meaning 'advanced' people through out the centuries, be it by disease or simple contamination of their life style.
instead it was a nice, gee let's all break into a round of cumbaya at the end story. |
