On the "rush going back to his old ways" after trying to get the Kino remote to tell him where the other remote is,, i am thinking he was that way with scott as it should have (if scott looked over his shoulder, or was more tech minded) obvious to him he was using it to do what he did.. since other than controllng the remote or gate, what else would it be used for?

Which would suck if the LA destroys earth. Limited breeding potential.
I've noticed it's usually women guest stars that get killed, rather than the main stars.

Best episode so far this season packed full of tension both on the planet and on destiny,
i knew exactly what rush was going to do when i saw the herd of creatures and the look on simeon's when the herd ran towards him priceless, i would do the same in rush's place i care a lot about someone i know the same way rush cared about Amanda Perry and if something happened to her i would do what rush did consequences be damned.
Rush has gained some respect from me for going the punisher on simeon i never cared about rush that much prior to this episode but he's now my current favourite character
My favourite rush scene prior to this episode was back in season 1 when Eli asked him to record a message on the kino and he just looked into the kino, rush said more with that stare than everyone else did with their talking about themselves.

This was a pretty good episode. I think it was a step up from the usual fare. It was a little strange because I think I might have expected an underwhelming one this time for some reason. But this one felt like it went by pretty fast, which I guess means it was a lot of fun.
The opening segment was really good. It had some great tension and atmosphere. I wasn't exactly crazy about killing Ginn and Perry, simply because they feels a little like wastes of characters now, but I would hope their deaths result in some sort of far reaching consequences down the line for Eli and Rush as far as character development goes.
One thing I did like was some of the Scott's leadership stuff. I also especially loved what sounded like duduk music at the end."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"
*You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer!*
"Arise, Woolseyus Prime."
"Elizabeth..."

I know this is going to be unpopular, but this was -- in my opinion -- a simply terrible episode. The action wasn't sustained, the strategies were predictable, and the dialogue was flacid.
And now that we're an episode past this one, are they ever going to explore Eli's reaction and coping with Ginn's death? I mean, it seemed like he genuinely cared for her, and not one mention of it has bee made.
Maybe it's me, but these last couple episodes (Malice and Visitation) have been awful.

Poor Ginn and Amanda, poor Eli and Rush, poor TJ, poor everyone...DAMN YOU SIMEON. I hope he rots in hell for this. He kills two good people with one cowardice act, not to mention those good soldiers who were just going about their business. That SOB deserved everything that was coming to him.
Seems a waste though killing not one but two interesting women, we don't really have any interesting women, maybe TJ but that's really about it. Most of the women don't really get all that much screentime, that's one of the things I'm a little disappointed at but it doesn't bother me as much as it did in SGA, because I think the other characters are really quite complex and interesting. I was hoping Ginn would at least stick around for a while, I was beginning to like her. even though we didn't get to see much of her
Overall though this was a very good episode.
And I don't blame Rush one bit for what he done in the end. Simeon was very dangerous, he had to be dealt with, It's just a damn pity they didn't deal with him sooner, all this might have been avoidable.sigpic

1. Woah, an old-school Stargate style ep!
2. Woah, Rush showing emotion? In this reality? Can't blame him for wanting to kill Simeon really.
3. Was it the right thing to do in terms of the bigger picture though? Hell no. In a lot of ways killing Simeon made Rush look like Young after(ironically) stranding Rush in Justice. The morality of the action was murky but what made it stand out was the stupidity. One flaw I would have never pinned on Rush is stupidity.
4. Eli...careful you don't lose the plot mate!
5. If Chloe/the Blue presence in Chloe stays benign I'll be very surprised!
Very nice ep though! Best of the season so far!

My Opinion: Best ep of Season 2, hands down. Might even be the best or second best of the entire series to date.
Most of what I like about the ep has already been said, so I won't repeat, but what I haven't seen is anyone commenting on the music. I think it was pure poetry and whoever scored this ep should get an award.
*thumbs up* for the animal justice at the end!
Oh, and when Rush is standing over Simeon and he lamely tries to buy his life by saying "I have information" and Rush raises his gun, I could just see him thinking: "And I have a gun." Bam! Take that dirtbag! MUHA! Loved that part.
It's the only ep to date that I have watched 3 times in a row.sigpic

Shawna Buchanan writes: “Can you explain why Simeon was allowed to just wander around the ship menacing people in a clearly villainous way with only one guy guarding him when everyone else who they had even the least cause to suspect of potentially doing something bad was kept under lock and key?â€
Answer: All of the Lucian Alliance members were kept under lock and key until they (seemingly) started cooperating with Homeworld Command at which point they were permitted limited freedom under escort.
