I hope this doesn't seem like a repeat of some earlier threads, but I just wanted to make a few comments on the way Young is treating the LA prisoners. Apparently the remaining LA members have struck a deal with Earth where they're trading information to stay on the ship. So, does that mean that Young actually expects to keep them locked in that one room for however many months (or longer) they're stuck on Destiny? I think Wray had several valid points about how they should be receiving better treatment, at the very least to encourage them to share information to protect Earth. At the very least they should be given quarters (kept under guard of course). There are only nine of them, I can't believe that there aren't enough military personnel on Destiny to keep an eye on nine prisoners if they're split up.
The second problem is that Young won't let them help with problems on the ship. Ginn is a scientist, and Koz has medical training, at the very least they should be helping out, under close observation. Ginn offered to help, and Young didn't even consider the idea.
Young seems to be under the impression that because he is the military leader on the ship he has absolute authority. He didn't even want to share information about what was happening with Telford, who has equivalent rank and is entitled to know what is going on. I think Telford handled the situation really well, if I was the one who was being kept out of the loop I would have started yelling. My problem with Young's attitude is that he's not the most stable person, and he's not thinking things through logically. He refuses to allow anyone to act in a way that is contrary to how he wants things to go. That is something which is already causing problems, and will most likely continue to cause problems down the road.
