They don't care about their stockholders or employees who are all interdependent. But, a good leader should care about stakeholders they may never even meet, the way both John and Guide do. A young doctor or a lone refugee has just as much potential, value, and worth.
I don't think Queen Death would have launched this war without the Old One telling her that she was justified in doing so, that it was fair and right for her to seek revenge on the Ancients. Only as Alabaster says, the Ancients are gone! She's not punishing the scientists who did this to the Old One. She's killing some random people years later who had nothing to do with it.sigpicsig by Isolde

Spoiler:
I don't know hold old Ease was. I got the impression he was older than Ember. But, as Guide pointed out to Ease, the things Ease was promised were not Death's to give. Some people never learn this lesson at any age and get pulled into doing unethical things at all ages of their lives.

I think Ease is older than Ember. But no, those weren't Death's to give. And you're right -- some people never learn!sigpicsig by Isolde

Originally posted by WraithTech View PostI've seen things like this, too, and can only hope people learn from the mistakes. In the books, I also think of Sora. She has her father's good name carrying her only so far, but giving Ladon trouble will get you more to worry about than where to get job references!sigpicsig by Isolde

Just finished the book and loved it!!
Spoiler:Really angry with Ronon though...I think his actions showed a complete lack of trust in every member of the team, not just Rodney. His end visit to Sateda definitely seems to be hinting at a new storyline if the get a greenlight for season 7 though!

I was hoping Ronon would have more of a peace with the Wraith in the end, but he and the planet of Sateda could serve as a counterweight to the Old One and any Wraith that would mistreat human worlds. All of the hives may not follow Alabaster's ways. At least Ronon doesn't have the blood of children on his hands.

We should still have the crossover "Ouroboros" coming, last I read on Melissa's blog:
My solo SG-1 novel, Ouroboros, in which SG-1 encounters one of Janus’s devices and is transported to Atlantis, is at Fandemonium for edits, and hopefully will be out sometime this summer.
