I loved the episode because of this whole moral, ethical issue, did they do the right thing? I dont know but let me throw something else out there
What really got me thinking was how First thought that Fifth was flawed. His 'flaw' was that he was too human. Like Jonas said, we used his humanity against him so in a way we saw that as a weakness in him, so does that mean on some level SG-1 were agreeing with the replicators about humanity being a weakness?
Another thing, someone said that Jack only did what he did due to self preservation, ensuring that replicators dont make it to earth now that they have the iris code
Self preservation...its interesting that Jack did what he did to preserve his own life and life on his planet because thats exactly what replicators are programmed to do. Programmed for self preservation and replication at all costs.
So at the end of the day, SG-1 saw that 5th was flawed and used his humanity against him, and Jack made the call to leave him behind to preserve human life.
What is really getting me thinking is that we're starting to sound a lot like the replicators. The team were starting to do things, to think about things in the same way as the bugs, so when you think about it, are we really any better than they are?
I love this episode because its some very clever story writing, big thumbs up to brad wright and rob cooper for this episode, it was done very well
