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.
