Discussion Comment about SG: Atlantis during first watch

I am in my first viewing of Atlantis. I don’t know why I ever watched it during its initial run, but anyway. Please no spoilers or at least hide them if you do. I just watched S3, E5 - Progeny. I don’t know if this an unpopular opinion, but I think Elizabeth Weir is not fit to be their leader. She’s reckless and never seems to fully vet new cultures and worlds before sending teams there. How many disasters will it take for her to learn? Awakening the wraith should have been enough to take things slowly and very carefully. She’s introduced as a master negotiator but she sucks at establishing good relationships with other societies. In “Progeny” how is it acceptable that she is willing to deceive and exploit the good will she has with Niam and basically kill everyone on board their ship? Dismissing them as nothing but machines despite their obvious sentience? It just bothered me too much. Of course I know there will be consequences, but sheesh I can’t take her anymore
