I was just gonna take my peers' word for it in here. Silly me, trusting you untrustworthy dolts! 

Sounds like no one watched the teaser after the last episode when they said 'In two weeks, on the Stargate Universe fall finale..."
They took Thanksgiving off. Not much point in airing a finale during it.
Usually sci fi shows are good about having hot female hosts. If nothing else, they know how to cater to their audience.
so, finally, a good solid episode. Really enjoyed that one. And a good cliffhanger.
I just hope that the general formula of this show isn't as shown in the first part of this season. I.E. great premiers and 'finales' with mindless filler in the middle.
think Greer is my favorite character now... I hated him to start with, but he's turning out to be relatively cool.
Young is the one who cheated first so if the marriage is broken up, he's the one to blame. Even if Telford does have bad intentions, that doesn't make it ok to use somebody else's body to go and beat on the guy, if you're the one who ****ed up in the first place. Besides, you ARE living on the ship with the woman you cheated on your wife with AND have erotic dreams about her. So that makes Young a bit of a hypocrite.
The point here was Telford told Young's wife that he was Cheating again, which he is not. No one will let someone get away with telling that sort of lie when you are trying to make things work with your Wife. Dreams do not mean anything, everyone has dreams, if you hold people responsible for there dreams everyone would be in trouble
Even more so in this episode where in the beginning he is charged with a murder he didn't comit, true, and claims that he wants everything to go by the book. Because even in space, in extraordinary situations, people should not abandon their principles. But then by the end of the episode he makes the decision to act as an executioner, by eliminating and undesirable element. That is the very same crime he was accused of in the beginning. If it wasn't ok in the beginning and he renounced his leadership because of an accusation alone, than how does it make it ok when he DOES do it to Rush?
Young wanted everything to go by the book because if he did not almost everyone on the ship would have doubts about him and probably think he did do it. You can not be in command and have respect and expect people to follow your orders if they do not trust you and think you are a murderer.
What he did with Rush on the Planet is a whole separate issue. He did not murder him, just exiled him. In fact he probably wasn't going to leave him there until Rush flapped his mouth
Two entirely separate issues.
If SGU is half the gritty realistic drama it claims to be than Young should lose all faith the crew have in him. it wouldn't be hard for Eli to figure out what happened, since he KNOWS somebody framed Young and then Rush gets mysteriously left behind.
It was stated in the last scene when Young asked Eli for the copy and to delete the original that Eli saw the entire footage of Rush framing Young. So its pretty obvious the Eli probably knows Rush did not have an "accident"
Unfortunately even if Eli comes clean to the crew, Young still will undoubtedly have the support of Greer, Scott and the rest of the military.
Leaving Rush behind is at the same time morally reprehensibile AND an overall dumb idea because he is still the smartest guy on the ship.
And has proven and well as stated he would do everything to undermine Young's authority.
