Every time they encouter a duplicate they start to act paranoic about it. Yes, i mean Shepp, Rodney, Ronon, Teyla, Sam, Keller, everybody: they have difficulties expressing a coherent speech, throw up funny/scared sights, they are always suspicious, place few armed guard excorts to make the guest feel like a prisoner and unwelcome.
Finding Beckett was oviously an accident so coundn't be a wraith trojan horse, but they still follow their paranoia and throw dirty talks behind him ... 'leading them into an ambush' that's crazy. If everything were to be premeditated, the Wraith would have sent an infected clone to spread an airborn virus, game over. It's not like they are very hard to capture; all it takes is 1-2 darts with beaming technology.
But what will happen if they find a cure for Carson's condition? The fact that he is a clone, make him less real? Would he be allowed to the same rights like the original? Or the black suits will throw him in a A51 small cells under constant observation?
At least this litlle episode proove few points i made for 'Outcast'. A biological entity can be subject to the same treatment and reprogramming like a technological one. There is a little science called genetics that work wonders same as the programming base codes, especially in sci-fi.
Anyway it seems curious their reaction to this type of artificial life forms, who happen to be, without a choise of their own. It would seem that technological we advance very fast, few hundred of years, but the writers have difficulties to make the same advancement in our philosophical/moral code, ledding to some 'hard to belive situations'. They mentained the short-sightness and intolerance of the 20 and 21 cencturies, Earth and added some very nice weaponry to protect that intolerance and short-sightness. In this scenario it only take a power-hungry politician, Kinsley type to maipulate the situation and to take control and start a crusade in the galaxy.
This seem harsh i know, but in my opinion they reached a point when there is no sense in keeping all this 'life on other planets' a secret and it is also dangerous. People from Earth have the right to know and to choose, for example learning advance astro-phiscs rather than doing other lauzy jobs or tasks (maby this way, they wouldn't look to a cone or a replica like to an abomination). Didn't you find strange that people who hunt and fish for a living get to travel on other planets and to eventualy explore ancient outposts and on Earth people who came close to the truth are killed by strange vehicles and threaten with imprisonment and treason (electic chair?)? I see how this can be necesarely at the begining, but we are nearly at the end. We have strong hold in 2 galaxies and no offence but Atlantis is no 'hail mary in the Eart's history', if the people who has the right to decide the scentists to study it is Weir or Woolsey or another office dork. So as i see it the Earth look more and more like a prison and its inhabitans like prisoners or tax payers whatever, both phisically and mentaly. If the news would be out, i had a feeling that many people would want out both phisically and mentaly.
