He's lucky he wasn't shot on the spot....and you want to give him a pillow?



Agreed. They are in a severely dangerous situation, technically at war, technically out of touch with the pentagon.....Colonel Young is in command....he had a soldier disobeying a direct order and insighting mutiny that endangered the lives of the people around him....Young would be justified in executing him.

Mutiny! That's the word I was searching for. Much thanks.

 

[C. Lee]

Wha?

I think he's asking if you are the poster sshuttari at the comingsoon boards.

 

[wiegeabo]

Oh. Nope. Why?

 

[C. Lee]

Oh. Nope. Why?

No idea....I googled sshuttari and it came up as a poster at comingsoon.

The pillow comment was a joke. I do think they should have removed the guy from the floor. He's still one of your soldiers.


And as a Captain, you have to see the larger picture. What does knocking the guy out accomplish? Placing you as the intimidator and the bully. You can't reason your own soldier to calm down so we as an audience are supposed to see him as the guy who will find a way to control these civilans? Yeah, right.

I'm just pissed that it wasnt Eli who got a first crack at that sweet a##. He layed all the groundwork and put in his time but she went with psycho go-boy instead. So I guess Eli is in the friend zone now. Unless he can get with that Julie Benson.

War time flings are nothing new (not the same thing, but close enough). They feel close to each other because the world feels like it's coming down around them. It's pretty much all physical attraction mixed in with a little adrenaline, despair, and one thing in common (dead parents).

Eh. That still really isn't the case. Because they just ran off together, playing like a couple that had been together awhile the second Young's speech was over. I mean, it's not like one went to the other's room to talk about the situation.... and then they just went at it because of physical attraction, adrenaline, despair, etc took over their brains.


And I really don't want the writers to continue with the relationship crap. As that moment really shows they suck at it.

Um yeah, exactly. That's sort of why he had his soldiers there with their weapons at the ready. There wasn't time to dick around with outbursts and people causing problems. He puts down the first of his own men to speak out against him. You think any of the civilians are going to say anything after seeing that?

Young has to stay tough, and make sure his authority is never questioned. Why? Because he's the chain of command. The only chain of command. If he loses control of the situation, he knows it's going to be chaos. The crew will start splintering in their own groups (which we've started to see), and bicker amongst themselves about who should lead and how. It's just human nature. Unlike Atlantis where everyone volunteered for the mission and understood that Elizabeth was in command of the expedition as a whole, and the colonel, and later Sheppard, commanded the troops. And even then there were people speaking out against the way Elizabeth and John ran things. (Mostly that one scientist, but still.)

 

[Kahoot]

Oh. Nope. Why?

Really?

He posted the same post word for word over at CS. The only difference was paragraph 3. So paragraphs 1, 2 & 4 were all the same. Someone copy and pasted...

 

[Maximus One]

Yea **** Chloe!! That is some ********! Last ep her and Eli were like attatched at the hip and she was clinging on to him pretty hard and all of a sudden now shes with Scott? Thats ********. ****ing tv always gotta hate on the over-weight comic relief. Really pisses me off

I wrote my post right after the episode ended.

 

[X-Ray]

Damn right Young just let Greer knock that guy on his ass. The last thing they needed was him inciting a riot. If nothing else, Young gave an order, the soldier was breaking it. I was very satisfied with they way they took him down. Usually in these situations, the guy who says "We can't let them do this to us!" ends up making things worse.

I loved it when Greer decked the guy. He's been a pretty solid character since the get go. He knows his place and makes sure everyone else does too when a officer is barking out orders. He's a take no **** kind of guy. And that's why he's my favorite character on the show so far.

That's what I'm talking about. I can see Lt. Huge Rack making the first moves after finding out about Scott & sweet ass.

hahahaha Indeed!

Remember, fat guys try harder.

One of your soldiers......that disobeyed a direct order, was trying to start a mutiny, and was going to put everyones life in danger for his own selfish needs.

Colonel Young was under the belief that they all would soon be dead. He had to stop a riot from starting and putting the people in the shuttle in danger. Diplomacy can come later....this needed drastic and immediate action.

 

[RetroNaz]

Sorry, but do we really care that much that the show had someone knock someone down to keep them from starting what could have been a pretty ugly riot.

I would have been ready to join the guys cause if I knew my life was being decided by a random lottery draw. So I think it was the right decision to nip that in the bud before it could have escalated.

It's good to see Rush has finally settled down a little, and I really liked the did he/didn't he tease at the end.

I personally think, he didn't.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Listen, C.Lee's right, they were facing death and didn't need a mutiny on his hands. I get that, but using force alone could just as easily have made the situation more violent(Throw a chair in the air, it doesn't even have to hit anyone.lol). That's why leaving him on the floor bothered me not really the put down. He looks like a bully and not just discipling a soldier.

Capt. Young keeps showing bad leadership skills. Instead of ranting his suspicions about Rush infront of his crew, maybe keep that to yourself and investigate later. Instead of making a tense relationship between the crew and Rush worse.

 

[RetroNaz]

It might be part of a bigger plan that Captain Young makes some pretty questionable decisions.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me like they are possibly building a Young vs Telford rivalry...

 

[Asgard]

The ending really confused me. I dont understand why Rush was acting snippy with the crew and how or why they thought he knew the ship would be fine traveling through a star. We know that he didnt or at the very least was maybe aware that there could be a chance that the ship would be fine. Either way, sending 15 people off to try and survive in that one planet was a good idea.

Greer was awesome in dispatching that fool. Pretty pathetic how a soldier would act in that manner while the civilians sort of accepted their fate. Dont really get why Greer got naked in prep for his death though.

Chloe getting freaky with Scott was a surprise. Maybe she felt closer to him or whatever after he shared his own troubled past. Felt sorry for Eli. Like that one poster said, he put in the work.

 

[zanos]

Audiences need to see attractive ppl having sex. The writers must realize this. Suspension of disbelief can be stretched just so far.

 

[Manic]

If there was a cute chubby girl on this show, they'd probably hook him up with her as a silver medal.

 

[Gilpesh]

But we all see that horrible love triangle coming where they all angst over each other for an entire season.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it's very obvious. And I hate it. And I hate Chloe for being the stupid ho who's bouncing between two dudes and having virtually no other identity beyond that. The actress seems like she could do better.

Anyway, pretty predictable episode this past Friday. I think we pretty much all saw it coming that the Destiny would recharge off of the sun. Didn't expect it to fly into the sun, but whatever.

Kind of a shame that they ended on that note of Rush possibly knowing about the ship's method of restoring power. I was liking the idea of him and Young finally developing a bit of respect for each other, but I suppose it's better for the show if they remain adversaries.

 

[Gilpesh]

I think Rush didn't know about it at all. Especially when he decided not to go into the lottery. But there's something about his character that made him not admit it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I suppose. Either he knew and he's a sinister bastard or he didn't know and he simply refuses to actually treat other people like fellow human beings because he's a colossal *****ebag and/or emotionally damaged. Either way, I still like him. Carlyle's doing a great job with the character. Rush is bouncing around from one characterization to the next, but it feels very organic, like they're hinting at the core of his character rather than just being random, badly written personality jumps.
