more SGA/XMFC. there's clearly something wrong with me.
LET'S TALK ABOUT SGA/XMFC SOME MORE.
I feel like Erik doesn't get the whole "leave no man behind" concept. Like, when he was in the military before this and when he first started with the SGC, he brought everyone home because it was his job, not out of any actual affection for them.
