I haven’t liked the Genii since the very first episode they showed up in and they’ve never given me a reason to doubt my judgment ya know?
It’s interesting though that the division amongst the Genii isn’t just between military groups, but also between scientists and military mindset.
The military doesn’t see any use in the science divisions and the only reason they’ve gotten any credit lately is because Ladin’s sister is head of a department.
So we can give Ladin kudos for that but not much else.
Sheppard hears a little bit about the tension between the groups during the Remembrance Day celebration when a higher ranked scientist makes a comment before quickly backtracking. Obviously fearing for his life should anyone overhear his words.
It’s strange when you consider that it’s the scientists who would have figured out the nukes they created in the first place and they’d be the ones to figure out the Alteran ship too.
It would be interesting to find out when the division happened and why because the Genii military wouldn’t have gotten as far as they have in regards to defeating Wraith if it weren’t for the scientist…
One of those things we’ll never find out (unless it’s hiding in one of the books and I just haven’t realized yet).
Until next week!
