[QUOTE="Quantum, post: 5151043, member: 56918"] I really don't think there's going to be any attempt to reconcile their differences so they can work together any time soon. Even though Young was the earliest to realize that they did need to all work together. I'm coining a new meaning for the term "art of the draw". The meaning is that the writers want to keep conflict alive as long as they can (hence drawing it out) in order to keep people watching the show. While conflict is interesting, there's only so much you can do before it starts becoming redundant and people will start saying "oh, it's just another angst for the sake of angst episode" and lose interest and stop watching. That's the sort of thing that hurt "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" in the long run, in that there was always a reason for angst for the sake of angst and nobody was allowed to be happy for any reason what so ever. For an example of this sort of thing, people are already getting annoyed at Chloe because the only purpose she is there for is to cause Eli some grief. And that's it. And now, because of her grievance against Young, she may be causing some grief for the Lt. by not seeing him any more. This is also the same reason people are getting annoyed at Kate over in the show "Lost" because Kate was going back and forth between Saywer and Jack. What would really throw things for a loop though is if the Lt (the one who was seeing the other Lt before he dropper her stone cold dead for Chloe) get with Eli. Although fans would probably balk at that because it's the pairing of a good looking woman who is very physically active with an overweight genius. That's not a very likely pairing. But at least for it's what I'd like to see happening. Wierder couples have happened. [/QUOTE]
