[QUOTE="Mark, post: 5142247, member: 5"] We still don't know that Rush isn't working with the aliens. They made an awfully big deal about one device sending and one device receiving thoughts, rather than just having each device doing both. I suspect this was done to reinforce that Rush was going to get some of Young's thoughts and not the other way around. If the aliens were trying to probe Rush's brain for information, they only needed the one-way thought-traffic, too. For Rush to gain information from the aliens, enough to fly one of their ships, know the layout to find the shuttle, understand the devices, they had to use the devices in a way that the thoughts were flowing toward Rush for whatever reason. Further, Rush nearly doubled over in pain using the device to gain information from Young for mere seconds. How easy would it have been to drag all that he supposedly gleaned from the aliens unwillingly without their knowing they were being probed while they were using the devices in a manner that allowed the flow of thought information toward Rush? While I had thought that Rush was going to be working with the aliens but off the ship, I am not convinced that he is not working with them but from within the ship. Cliche? Piffle. Cliche would be having simple infighting and power struggles among the humans like we've seen on DS9, Voyager, BSG, and elsewhere many time before. This series needs to give us more than that to rise above the cliche and I expect it. [/QUOTE]
