[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 5005880, member: 115"] Well, at the beginning of the episode they did. That's why I think that Wray deliberately told everyone; she turned the scientists against Rush and they're already against Young. As for the military folks, the person she should be courting is Eli. They've already shown that of the scientists/civilians, the military folks trust him most of all. Obviously not all the military personnel are content to follow Young. However, who would lead them? Scott is too devoted to Young, so he's out. Greer is a hothead, and moreover likely to side with Rush, since they're both impulsive and willing to take risks. TJ might be a possibility, but she hasn't really shown any willingness to lead nor break ranks. So instead of having two factions, she'd have to a) remove Young altogether, and b) win over the soldiers' trust with Eli. On the second point, I don't disagree. Obviously he should be exercising for any number of reasons. However, if Eli's job is to monitor Rush, the problem is Rush has been shown to work ridiculous hours. Keeping in mind Eli is not as experienced as Rush, it's probably all Eli can do to keep up with him; especially if Rush is trying to be covert in some of his actions. If I recall correctly, Eli even said he barely caught the planet deception. What Young [I]should[/I] do is assign more people to go over the data. After all, Eli isn't the [I]only[/I] scientist on board, by far. That way it gets done faster and possibly more reliably. Of course, that goes back to the point I made above - Eli is the one the soldiers trust. So that's not likely to happen. Unfortunately, Young can't afford to confine Rush either, since he's by far the expert on Ancient tech. [/QUOTE]
