[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 5148621, member: 41321"] Nah, sorry, I don't see it as a prison ship. I think it's exactly what Rush thinks it is - an exploration ship set on auto-pilot. Others have explained the chair (and I agree with them). I think the limited amount of time on each planet is just because the ship has a schedule to keep. It's goal is to keep moving forward, ever forward. It has been programmed to allow the passengers to stop and gather supplies or briefly study a strange planet, but it needs to keep moving in order to go further than anything from our galaxy has gone before. I believe that once Rush or someone else gains full access to the ship's systems that they will be able to extend the duration of the ship's stops on planets, perhaps indefinitely. They just don't have that control yet. (And its questionable whether Rush will actually want to stop the ship if he gets the ability to do so.) I said this in another post a long time ago when the show first started, but it almost feels like Destiny is a metaphor for a distant but benevolent god. It doesn't talk with us directly, but it seems to know what we need (air, water, power, antibacterial venom, etc) and it gives us the opportunity to get it but it doesn't tell us what to do. We have to figure it out for ourselves. Destiny meets the crew halfway. By the way, I guess I missed it, but did the scientist who sat in the chair actually die? I knew he was seriously injured but I thought at the end of that episode he was still alive, then I don't remember hearing about him again. [/QUOTE]
