    SG-1 is a great show to watch, especially lately - it makes you feel like there might still be people that care about the world.

      Just when you get to the episodes where the meddling civilian oversight committees screws everything up until the brave military breaks the law to save the day, be sure you don’t learn the lesson they’re trying to teach you.

        Depends on what lesson you think they’re trying to teach. “When you know the right thing to do, don’t let people use rules and obstructions to stop you from doing it.” can be a good lesson.

          Throughout history, a terrible number of people have died because some zealot thought they were doing the right thing.

          If a police officer “knows” someone is guilty, what do you think about breaking the rules to ensure they are punished?
