Young openly spying on the crew

Young openly spying on the crew: Isn't it a bit extreme?

When Young asked Eli to spy on the crew. I said to myself "why not", those military guy are all a bit paranoid on the side. I thought they would be *secretly* spying on the crew that is. But then we see Eli openly spying/recording on a private conversation between people. Where the guy says something like:"yeah, you the military". And then Young says to Eli, good job, keep going. There is such thing as private life and the kino moving around recording private conversation and images is infringement of those basic principle. Doesn't he need a court order or something?

[GateroomGuard]

We haven't yet seen him ordering a kino in everyones private quarters, so far we've just had a kino watching a conversation in a public area. I don't see anything wrong with it. The SGC had security cameras, even in private quarters. But I can see this 'Big Brother' issue coming to a head soon especially with Elis penchant on placing them in the showers and what not.

I wonder how exactly Franklin/Volker came to the conclusion they were being spied on? I get the impression that Eli flies that kino everywhere into everyones conversation; what exactly this made this incident seem more sinister?

[The Prophet]

Wouldn't it be a better idea just to send Eli around the crew in person, then report back to Young.?

It's a little less discrete than a hovering Kino floating around monitoring people.

no there are in a unknown situation and i think it's good to know how people act behind your back. if there is going to be problems better to know it ahead of time

Eli- Hello Col. Young is having me conduct a survey. Would you consider your expierience on the Destiny to be good, tolerable, or 'I'm going to mutiny'?

I assumed the Kino was spying on them when they were having they're daily mutiny-prep talk

If they're talking about it infront of the Kino, Eli would only need to stand there and listen, occasionally making points to gain their trust.

[Pharaoh Atem]

but a mutiny wouldn't solve anything. even if you get new leadership your still stuck on the destiny and your never getting home

I'm still unsure what was going on with Eli & Riley. It seems they were implying something was going on, but I would prefer actually seeing what happened instead of those dirty looks. Like Sam in the shower and asking if O'Neill was outside in 200

How do we know that was a public area and not the bathroom or a private quarters?

I don't know so far everyone on the ship seems to think Eli is Young's 'fair haired child'. Wray would probably be a better option for keeping the civillians in line.

The fact that Eli and Riley are still alive gives me hope that something more is going on. But I was pretty sure the two scientists were being spied on in the mess, a public area. Though I could be wrong.

I was just going for spying in person would be a far better option than using the Kinos, regardless of who does it.

I think Wray would only keep the civilians in line by trying to lead them with attempted IOA authority, which could be problematic- giving us a power-struggle between Young, Rush & Wray.

True. I guess Young figures with kinos he can watch everyone more closely at all times than trying to get someone in person at every gathering.

[Eternal Density]

Funny thing is that the 'mutineers' considered Eli to be a way to get information that Young and Rush wanted to keep from them, while Young is using Eli to get intel on the mutineers.

I foresee that Eli will again find himself "torn".

Young: "Eli, I'm relying on you to let me know if you hear or see any signs of discontent or mutiny, whether in person or with the Kino."
Eli: "Yeah, sure, I'll let you know."
-later_
James: "Eli, we need to speak. Privately."
Eli: "Uh..."

[ARealArchaeologist]

I wonder if this is going to be like adding gas to a fire. We've got people who are alone, afraid, and distrusting of the people they perceive in control. They think things are being hidden from them, and information is at a premium. If anyone gets an idea that they are really being spied on (other then those two guys) Young et al. could have some serious problems to contend with.

Its ok if its public showers like in the Gym or Hospital or...the Destiny.
