'Justice' (110) General Discussion

[jelgate]

There is a very good reason that the military is not in charge of civilian's on a day to day basis. Young is providing this reason time and time again, he is unable to remember that civilian's are not part of his chain of command, they are axillary resources.

Young is a moron who got rid of Rush because Rush was a personal threat to him.

Rush is not a sociopath. Someone with limited social graces are not sociopaths, because they still feel and empathise. The problem is they don't know how to show this.

I'm with Garrow, Young deserves to be shot for what he did.

Isn't that kind of hypocritical? That would make Rush just as questionable as Young

[Deevil]

....whooaaa....cool! Deevil and I agreed for once.

a very well-worded and thought out post Deevil. Good reasoning.

We can agree!!

I didn't say Rush should shoot Young. I'm a big fan of the idea that there should be a trial then the shooting. Afford Young the justice that he couldn't give to Rush.

Can we give Rush his trial as well?

[Deevil]

Sure... he should be tried for setting Young up - but I think he will be let off. Strange how being left to die does that .

And his 88 counts of negligent/attempted murder?

You'd have to prove that he wasn't lying about the power backlash, and that would be near impossible.

Be funny if he really wasn't lying wouldn't it?

I really shouldn't get involved with arguement again. But a uninhabited MW planet would have been a choice were Rush would be innocent of negligent murder

The trouble with charging him with negligence or attempted murder is that there is precisely no evidence. In the absence of any data, reasonable doubt exists in abundance. Even the most useless of public defenders would get him off.

But, what if he was right? Seriously, traveling further away uses more power (as we know), thus meaning that the power is defused. So jumping to the Milky Way would mean that the power wouldn't be defused and therefore could potentially blow up the planet killing all 88 people.

Exactly. Charge him with setting up Young, which there is evidence of... mind you, wouldn't it be funny if he didn't do that at all? If someone planted the evidence?

(not saying it's true, just speculating).

Because it contradicts Stargate physics. The amount of energy pumped through a wormhole is how much exits it. As far as we know distance isn't a factor. If it was wouldn't it take longer for wormholes that go farther distances

[EllieVee]

Of course, distance not being a factor doesn't explain why people walked through the wormhole at Icarus and were flung through at the other end.

Distance is a factor when it comes to power. Remember The Fifth Race? The Rising? etc etc etc. The further you travel the more power that needs to be drawn.

More energy has also caused the gate to jump from one place to another.

It doesn't contradict Stargate physics at all, it just builds on it.

Otherwise every other episode about power and dialling the gate would contradict stargate physics.

Distance is a factor with the connection not the wormhole itself. The actual energy that enters a wormhole is always equal to the amount that leaves

Exactly. They just change things and make it so the characters are learning too.

In the episode Solitudes they were flung out of the gate after an explosion causes a power spike. It even caused the wormhole to jump (something they have used at later times).

Icarus base was under attack. The planet itself was one giant battery. There is nothing to say that the power of the attack and subsequent qxplosions couldn't have caused a chain reaction that could have destroyed an entire planet - thus killing 88 people.

So in the effort to defuse this, creating a link with a gate that s vast distances away - therefore needing more power - they could have prevented this... a potentially did.
