The ancients abandoned research on a power source due to the danger it could cause to the planet. So, of course the dumbest man in Atlantis thinks he knows better and the idiotic military says sure, go ahead and destroy the planet. How did this show stay on the air so long with this total jerk at the center of things? It's clearly a Canadian quirk that they would choose the most unlikable Canadian in their country to act in this role. This show is an embarrassment to the Stargate franchise.
