Maj. Lorne smackdown... or not.

Wouldn't it have been good if Major Lorne had beaten the crap out of the trader he was interrogating?

I expected he was about to do so based on the way the scene had been set up. The physical arrangement of the other team, all looking down on the trader to intimidate him; the setting, a dark room with boarded up windows, bright white light dazzling the prisoner's eyes.

Spoiler:

But no, it didn't happen. Then I half expected Teyla to belt the trader with the stick she had, but to no avail.

It's time that Major Lorne, tough upstanding soldier and all-round nice guy that he is, ignores the Geneva Conventions at least once and whacks around an enemy prisoner to get what he needs. C'mon, just once........

hahahahahahahaha good one!

Perhaps if there had been a need he would have done it. Needlessly damaging an asset is a no-no.

I lol-ed when that guy called the Expedition the dogooders of the galaxy because I coined the phrase "cosmic dogooders" years ago to describe the team on a Sliders and then realized that it applied to Stargate, Star Trek, and some other shows as well. So any way back to the topic, Lorne and his merry band of cosmic dogooders would never resort to torture with only two exceptions. Wraith and Kavenaugh.

Hang on, Kavanaugh is a good guy though

That's only half-true. We know that he'd spill to a Wraith if he didn't faint first...
