[edit] Possible OR
I removed this from the article:
Nerus was actually working for the Ori. Landry decides to then put him in the basement of Area 51 to find a defense against the Ori, or Nerus (a hedonist) will experience hunger. This is an interesting decision, possibly falling under the doctrine of "Cruel and Unusual Punishment." Whether or not rights that Americans take for granted apply to the aliens they encounter off-world has been questioned, both seriously and humorously, throughout the show's history. In the first Season, O'Neill fights for Teal'c's rights to not become a lab rat against his will. Later, in Season Four, Martin Lloyd wonders if the Geneva Convention covers extraterrestrials.
This feels very much like OR to me. Also, there is no implication that they actually starved Nerus; they probably just gave him the bare minimum amount of food. He looks fairly healthy in Off the Grid. — BrotherFlounder 18:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that it looks like OR. I removed the paragraph. Val42 05:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
