'Justice' (110) General Discussion

[EllieVee]

Not all of them ran.

Given what's been said, I rewatched Air tonight. Scott got tossed out the other end yet he walked through slightly quickly. At best, a couple of people went in at a slight jog. Not one person walked through at the other end.

I trust Rush more than I trust Young. Rush took a chance based on science and it worked. It's a level of pragmatism that most people don't operate at.

Rush took a chance with human lives , that is not pragmatic, it is sheer stupidity or lack of appreciation for the value of life. In a life and death situation you choose the safe course not the "well I might as well experiment" course.

This is true...very true

Yes, you do choose the safest option, which to my mind, to him, was dialling the ninth chevron.

[jelgate]

Their is a flaw in your logic. The 9th chevron wasn't safest. Going into an unknown area is never the safest route. It defies all logic

Nope, no flaw here. The choice is choosing between certain death and the unknown, most people would choose the unknown.

So, they choose a safe planet they know, either alpha site or another occupied planet. You are then risking hundreds, if not thousands of lives for 80 odd. And uninhabitated worlds are that for a reason. Am sure SG groups dont know too many empty planet addresses off the top of their minds.

I'd imgagine they'd know one or two purpursefully for situations like just like that.

[Stewart5]

So they have a few addresses at hand in case the uique planet they are on will blow up and take the destination world with it.....yea. More likely they have emergency addresses to safe worlds with copius backup stored, just in case.

But death wasn't certain

The greater good is to sacrifice the 80.

But death wasn't certain

To you. Perhaps to Rush it was.

Its kind of obvious it wasn't certain based on what we know about Stargates.

[EllieVee]

Its kind of obvious it wasn't certain based on what we know about Stargates.

Except, as you know, there are some of us who disagree about what we know about stargates.

[jelgate]

which just further proves death wouldn't be certain

[Stewart5]

They stayed, they died. They went through the gate to any uninhabitated world that is the unkown. Thus, cerain death vs unknown.
