They seem to have free run of the ship (at least the parts which have been checked and secured by the military) and as long as they don't run any experiments which impact on what Rush is doing they are left alone."
I totally agree with this. What is it that they want? Is there something I miss here? As far as I have seen its only the fight between Young and Rush that is used as a problem with the military. I have seen every episode more than once and I cant see the military like a unit have done anything wrong against the others. In "Light" Spencer did claim that the shuttle could take more people,but it could not. Young did a very wise choice when he did choose TJ as they would need a medic,and the other choice had to be Scott if they was even gonna go anywhere. Actually the only violence I remember before the Young and Rush incident is when Greer did put Spencer out when he tried to make people think they had a chance to all be on that shuttle. If am not mistaken Spencer was military,so that also was`nt an act towards civilians.
As I see it,the civilians are creating a problem here that seem miss placed. They should almost "hate" Rush for getting them there,and then they embrace him and Wray like if they were heroes that came to rescue them. And the only thing civilians now have done is to make their own situation worse,and that`s all their fault. The military did not create this problem,Wray did.
What Young should do now (IMHO) is to have a speech telling them all about what did happen on that planet with Rush,and tell him straight out how he feels about it. Then he should also show the movie to the people,and state that he should`nt have left Rush there even what he had done to him. This might buy him some trust among the people,and then he can continue with what he also did on that alien ship,freeing Rush and even tried to go back to the ship and maybe look for Chloe together.
The comment "We`ll never be done" should be a major factor in his speech about the situation on the planet. The very big difference between Young and Rush is that Young regrets thing,and Rush has a very hard time regretting anything. Young has changed a lot since the start,I`ll bet we`ll see Rush do the same,and I sure it is for the better (how can it be worse?),but I cant see him become all "good" .
Before I forget,was`nt there also an "violence"-kinda situation there before Justice the Rush going crazy incident in the hall at a person (I don`t remember the name of)? And we also have the Spencer doing something like that,and Young had to use some force towards him,but then again...he`s not an civilian.
In the end,the only leader for ALL the people there,like a link between military and civilians might be TJ. She is more like a civilian than military in my mind. A little bit of both cant hurt?
