"Human" (114) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Spimman]

Hmmm, I guess Rush learns something from Franklin's trial run with the chair that gives him enough confidence to try it on himself?

Imagine how much power he would have if he was the only person that could access key Destiny systems, muah hahahahaha

[LtColCarter]

Yes...where Rush's own safety is concerned...I would agree. Where other's safety is concerned...I disagree.

Yes, he had such little concern for Chloe, for instance, that he just left her on that alien spaceship.

Oh, wait ...

Oh, but that was part of his devious plan to further splinter the crew of the Destiny, you see, by bringing back Chloe, who as we all know, is the center of a love quadrangle (I was going to post "triangle" but then remembered Lt. James).

He is just that sneaky!

Rush defies orders? Since when can Rush be ordered to do anything? I mean, all the man does, is defying orders then. Well, I hope you know what I mean. Seems like a weird way to paraphrase things.

Dammit, Jper, I just greened you in another thread!

Rush is given orders all the time. He just tends to ignore them

He's not obliged to take orders from someone who was never in charge of him.

Young was most defiantly in charge of him. O'Neill has already said so

And the relevant quote that says, 'Colonel, you're in charge of Dr Rush and always have been' is from which episode? Cos I'm blanking on that one.

Young is in charge of everyone on board the Destiny, and that happens to include Dr. Rush.

A civilian doctor does not have to follow military orders unless in a military emergency. Also, when you have two huge personalities, who will obvuiously clash, one of them being on a nicotine low, surely instead of Young being a bloody idiot and shouting the odds at Rush, he could try asking, or at least wrapping the order in an illusin of politeness. Like whe Rush asks him to run any exploration orders by him first, Young does completely what a good officer shouldn't, and tries to impose authority and respect instead of earn it. Don't forget, one of them is an expert in Ancient technology, the other is an officer who should barely be allowed the rank of 1st lieutenant, never mind lieutenant-colonel.
