Wow. What a dumb episode.

You've got a recovering addict going through withdrawal, but he holds critical information you must know in order to save another team member. But the addict guy is screaming & writhing too much to be coherent.

The smart thing to do would be to get him high. Load him up with heroin or something then let him babble comfortably, then put him through detox & recovery. After you have the critical information.

But what does Shepherd do? Not that.

Also you'd think the doc Keller would be more compassionate about her patient. And the Emergency Medical Hologram Woolsey committing war crimes by withholding medical treatment, woooo.

Nah man, the writers totally beefed it here. They coulda had a hilarious B-plot where they have to 'smuggle' heroin into Atlantis.

Doc Keller: We could probably use an opiate like heroin as a substitute for Wraith withdrawal

Woolsey: Heroin?! That's illegal! Where are we going to get--

Shepherd: I know a guy. FBI drug task force. I'm sure he can get us what we need

FBI Agent, answering his phone: Shepherd! It's been too long! Yeah man, what's-- what? Heroin? Are you crazy? I mean sure, but--

Samantha Carter at SGC Command, receiving a backpack full of drugs: What's this?

General Hammond, inexplicably back because I'm the one writing this: Don't look inside, but it has to be in the Pegasus Galaxy asap

Stargate, spinning & chuffing: hoot hoot hoooooot
