(I almost squeed when I saw The White Shirt )

Incidentally, yessika, do you know what season of SG-1 the main picture in your sig is from? I really like Sam's hair there, have been considering getting something similar. (The Rush-cut didn't work for me )

Spoiler:

The white shirt, the jewelry, the shirtlessness... I think I need a rewatch

Uhm, I'm not sure what episode it is from, sorry

Hello, thread gals! Hope your Friday has started well. Just stopping by, don't know how much I'll manage to stay here today and tomorrow. And for the first time since... forever... it's not because of homework.

Hello back and hello to all the others! My Friday was good so far, the weather is fine and I'll go into town later. Wish you a nice day and have fun with whatever you do!

Very nice video, nice job putting it all together. The opening scene is still so so sad. Oh, so a little warning for those who haven't seen "Seizure" yet. It contains spoilers from that episode.

[Artemis-Neith]

An interesting insight from Joseph Mallozzi about Rush. I think it's worth to share. Since it contains spoilers for the last episodes I tag it.

Spoiler:

RUSH SCHOOLS ELI

Recent events leading up to this episode had led to a shift in, if not the unspoken command structure of the ship’s science team, then a perception of said hierarchy. Eli, already reeling from Ginn’s death, is dealt another blow when Rush’s actions deny him a second time (at the end of “Hope”). Eli is pissed and, suddenly, prepared to challenge Rush’s leadership while Rush, off-balance, wrestles with self-doubt (note his sudden reluctance to investigate the stasis chamber until precautionary diagnostics have been run). Let’s be clear: Rush cares about Eli. Hell, he cares about everyone on board Destiny. Of course, it’s questionable as to why, exactly, he does care. Is it sympathy or merely a pragmatic approach to ensuring the ship’s crew continue to operate at optimum efficiency? Either way, we do see Rush – who normally holds his card very close to the vest – reach out to Eli in “Resurgence”. In his roundabout way, he tells Eli that he’s special, that he has potential, that he respects him. In so doing, he gives Eli – battling depression in the wake of Ginn’s death – the shot of confidence he needs to move on.

On a personal level, Rush is someone who accomplishes more with an indirect approach. And so, when faced with a challenge to his authority, he doesn’t confront his doubters. Instead, he changes their minds through indirect influence – like, say, allowing their rebelliousness to trigger some very serious consequences. Was Rush responsible for Brody’s deep freeze? Hell, yes. Was Brody ever in danger? Certainly not. You may argue over whether Rush truly cares about Brody, but there’s no doubt that he values his worth and would never risk such a valuable asset. No, Rush knew what he was doing. He was teaching Eli a valuable lesson and re-establishing his authority over the science team. Harmless but highly effective.

RUSH OFFERS ROMANTIC ADVICE

Rush also adopts an indirect approach in his dealings with the lovelorn Volker. On the surface, he’s telling Volker he should be happy with his lot as “the good friend” and “scientist” but the obvious subtext of his speech is: “Get off your ass and tell her how you feel or you risk a miserable, lonely existence!”. Yes, in his roundabout way, Rush is giving Volker unsolicited relationship advice. Why? Well, when it comes down to it, only one answer makes sense: Because he cares.
