Actually, a lot of Stargate’s plots are about who has the idiot ball this week. In particular, their grasp of security is just terrible. They’ve never even heard of a duress code! I keep waiting for someone to do for Stargate’s security what MoR has done for HP’s rationality. Also, whoever does this should probably take the opportunity to play up the S&M subtext of Stargate (how many times can Teal’c be tied up and tortured?).
Yeah, that’s probably the thing about SG-1 that annoys me the most: despite how central the military is to the stories, the writers do not understand security, nor do they consider it important enough to have a consultant help them with it.
