Fabulous answer to this post. You keyed right in on what was bothering me but I couldn't figure out how to verbalize.
"But sometimes there are times when no matter what you pick, you will hurt someone. And the part of you that thinks "is this a good thing to do?" is one of the first parts to go to sleep when you are very tired, or very angry, or very drunk, or otherwise altering your brain -- and so often people will do things that they know better than to do, and then when they come back to themselves, they hate themselves for it."
And if you add very scared to this list you will have most of the SGA team. I think this is why Ford can suggest stealing the ZPM from the planet that uses it for protection of children w/o it striking him as wrong. Where as Elizabeth's training has a very strong ethical base and her automatic response is that it is wrong.
Lovely response. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
