I'm reading through and I get a lot of "Love Rush" as a villian,and I understand it, and even agree. but I'm honest suprised to see the anti-Young sentiment.
Granted Young is no O'neil, but he was never written to be, (unlike Shephard was.) Young strikes me as a 'good man'. Yes, he made mistakes in the past (the affair with TJ) but he stepped up, was honest, and he's trying to fly right. I think that takes a lot of strength and I'm glad they are showing that. Especially, in the face of all the broken relationships, how easy it would be to get back with TJ, I find it admirable that he's trying to do the right thing.
As far as Young in charge... that's another thread but basically yes. He was Commanding officer of these same people on the other side of the gate so why should it change now. And he's doing a decent job. As noted in Kino footage, focusing on Food, water, etc. for survival. Hey that's not a bad plan.
He ordered a physical fitness program started up. That makes sense.
1.) He has soldiers he needs to keep in shape.
2.) Exercise is just plain healthy anyway.
3.) The program will help create regularity, and regularity will help keep sanity.
Some people boo the military in charge but you know what, read history. The military, and the military command structure is the oldest and simplest, most reliable and most effective command structure in history. The military gets stuff done.
But there's no enemy to fight.
Wrong. This is a man vs nature story. A journey for survival, at least right now, and the military is the most trained in survival. "It is food people! It will keep you A-live!" The way I say , if it the soldiers are keeping themselves alive and a lot of civilians get a free ride with them, that ain't bad!
