Loved this. I hate that just because Kavanagh is slightly an asshole, people automatically assume he's evil. I mean, Rodney can be just as abrasive and he gets by ok. Furthermore, I love Rodney. Which is why I found it so preposterous when the whole Kavanagh thing began. If they gave us in canon something beyond the fact that he doesn't like Weir as a clue (example: he's incompetent, he's a danger to those around him, he's careless, whatever) I could understand, but the whole problem with Kavanagh always seemed to be the fact he was just unpopular! (which is also why I loved Rodney not agreeing to the torture thing). The episode should have ended differently, because it only helped to prove Kavanagh's point, Elizabeth is incompetent and is ruled by her feelings to a dangerous degree. I really wouldn't want Kavanagh on the front line either, because he's to extreme an opposite, but I did like that at least the writers didn't support this stupid high school-ish idea of not-nice = evil. So anyway, great fic.
