Summary: A lesson learned the hard way is not easily forgotten.
---
Sheppard wants to believe him.
McKay is dying to trust him.
Both of them keep listing reasons why he's the real deal.
I expected that of Rodney, but John surprises me.
Then again, I know how easy it is to buy into the bullshit.
I know how much they want to believe; how much they want to see him in it.
But I also know the consequences of that all too well.
Replicator or clone… doesn't matter.
I didn't know Carson Beckett well, but a duplicate's a duplicate, and I'll never, ever trust one.
No matter what it looks like.
