[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 5148032, member: 18182"] The civilians in general have become very distrustful of the military leadership on the Destiny. And they have reason to. But no one wants to see anyone killed or hurt, and many on both "sides" are truly friends with those on the other "side". What I like about Eli's character is his idealism. He isn't on either "side" because he feels that everybody should be pals and work together, and he feels very close to both military and civilians on the ship. But Young respects and encourages Eli, which Eli appreciates despite the demands placed on him. And Eli realizes that Rush manipulates him and others because Rush feels that he knows better due to his big brain. But Eli also realizes Rush does have a big brain and is important to the survival of the crew, despite the fact he is a dick. So Eli is constantly caught in the middle . . . and the others know this. That's why they didn't include Eli in on their plans for a civilian takeover. Like many of the loud and so-called "true" SG fans, Eli would prefer that things work they way they did on SG-1 and SG:A! Very little intrapersonal conflict that isn't resolved by episodes end! :) [/QUOTE]
