Rush's attitude

[EllieVee]

I can believe that... And when young did, O'Neill immediately put him in charge.

Actually, no, he didn't. Not until Young used the communication stones. Young just took over (as you would if you were a Lt Colonel).

Well I think claiming it good to tell lies wasn't too cool ("grownups lie too" or something like that was what I heard).

after earth i think rush is fed up with people not trusting him and it's showing, i said it before he has done nothing but help these people thus far and he's gotten nothing but distrust

They would have been safer on a MW planet.

I got the impression that dialling anywhere in the MW would have the same potentially disasterous effect.

Same disasterous effect when dialing the Destiny as well.

My ethics say the later. Curiousity does warrent you to risk 88 lives

There's ethics and then there's what you might actually do. Sometimes not the same thing.

Rush was absolutely right to do what he did. Eli needs to learn when to close his mouth once in a while.

By not keeping his mouth shut do you mean when he announced to everyone that "OMG there's this alien bugger flying around and it's eating people" (paraphrase)?

But it's also not good to tell lies, either.
