Jelgate's Two Cents-Divided
We all knew this was coming. It was obvious from day 1 when Rush stranded everyone on the Destiny. Its inevitable when to different kind of people are stuck in a common area. Its inevitable that these kind of people will begin to clash and makes changes. And because I read spoilers I knew a huge confrontation but for it to happen like this was ( Read more... )
I was also somewhat surprised by some of the civilian actions - Volker, Park and even Brody to a point. But I think the clincher for them was the rumor that Young had left Rush behind. That scared the shit out of them and allowed Rush/Wray to recruit. I see that as being Chloe's reasoning, too. If a leader is willing to get rid of someone just because they're a nuisance, I don't think I'd want them in charge either.
Wray and Young's confrontation at the end was interesting. Young pretty much admitted that leaving Rush behind was something he regrets, but now what? How do they rebuilt trust - it was shaky to begin with and now it's even worse.
On the other hand, what other choice did the civilians have? I think Young was getting a little out of hand, regardless of the rules and regs that say he's in charge, they are going to have to live with this system for some time, potentially - so it's better to stay away from being a doormat now than when it becomes entrenched.
While I'm not one to usually compare the two shows, I recently re-watched the BSG episode 'Dirty Hands'. There are some parallels here about class and society that are rather interesting.

I'm curuous as that as well. Sounds like a B or even C plot for the comming episodes. But I hope they don't forget this.
I don't know. It could be argued since the military are trained to survive they should be in charge. Realasticly both sides should have power or one groups can feel oppressed
BSG is just one big blur to me. You'll have to remind what that episode is.
