Your beta is right about Sam- For most of the Atlantis expedition, especially the first wave, Atlantis becomes their home and their primary loyalty, and for Sam... it just wouldn't. I loved when you had Rodney, of all people, explain it to her- it would never occur to her to shift her loyalties away from Earth and the SGC, and I totally believe that she would be a bit oblivious to the fact that most of the base has this... thing that she just isn't part of. And Ronon, same- it makes me so sad, but you were right.
>but who *doesn't* love clones, amnesia, and exploration of identity?
I know, right? Here we get the gateverse throwing clones and android copies and de-aging and amnesia and false memories and brainwashing and who-the-fuck-knows at these characters, and we here in fandom have to run about madly picking up the pieces and trying to give these poor guys some chance of, you know, knowing themselves. *g* It's good fun. And yours was one of the best.
