because i'm rewatching s.2 eps of SGA

how is it that Ronan, Ronan of all people who is the ONLY voice of reason in 2x18-Michael? i mean.... the whole "mass deployment" idea of Shepherd leaves me going wtf?! these are good, nice to watch eps but the motives behind everyones' actions have got to be the stupidest in the entire SG uni -_-
