As far as TPTB not doing basic research, did anyone else notice in "Brainstorm" when Keller claimed know about academic competition because she was in medical school for 6 years? In the United States, medical school is pretty well standardized at FOUR years. If it took her 6 years to graduate a 4 year curriculum, what the heck is she doing on Atlantis? (And Rodney didn't even raise an eyebrow - sigh) Seticat is absolutely correct about the rank comment above - the day I graduated medical school I was commissioned as a CAPTAIN. That is NOT the rank of a "Field Medic". (I love the idea of a Navy Seal or Special Forces medic, though - I wish seticat was on the development team for this show!)
