> A 'guilty until proven innocent' trial by a member of the IOA stretches credibility to the breaking point *any* trial by a member of the IOA stretches credibility to the breaking point - the IOA has authority over the stargate program and member nations, who in turn have authority over their armed forces and civilians.
Wray technically has *no* authority over any military or civilian personnel on Destiny.

previous communications have not gone well - between Telford nearly destroying the ship, and Young's awaytime interupted at the halfway mark.

on the other hand, take Daniel away from the SGC, and he goes nuts. (remember 'Need'?); or how Sheppard tells SG1 members to put a lemon near Rodney who could die or almost die from allergic reactions.
so SGU is keeping with the darker parts of the SG universe that we've already seen pieces of.
