What's going on in Young's head?

[Kanten]

Something about that last shot is really getting to me. Something about that defiant look and the way he looks upward just before the lights begin to go out has me thinking that he has some kind of trick up his sleeve related to the next pulsar burst.

Every great commander always has a backup plan, the Telford play was risky to begin with and it seems doubtful Young would have gambled the lives of everyone on the ship if he wasn't entirely confident they could succeed.

What are you guys thinking?

my second and fifth in command are seconds away from getting killed. how's my babies mother doing? i still need socks

[magictrick]

He's about to die, and so are the others under his command. Is TJ hurt or not, what about the baby. Who can I headbutt next?

Probably a flurry of thoughts just rushing through his head.

"I just wet myself...

Damn."

No, on a serious note, there is only one thing going on in Young's head. A hamster running a wheel. The hamster, occasionally getting bored, runs the opposite direction, causing Young's occasional bouts of crazanoiachosis, the "Nuckin' Futs" syndrome, the Happy Meal Minus Few Fries... It goes by many names.

As he looked up, hew was thinking "Pulsar should be hitting about now"
Lights flash
"Knew it! I'm the man!"


Seriously. It isn't that deep.

I'm thinking he's been counting the seconds until the pulsar knocks the lights out and then unleash 6 shades of unholy hell on the LA and finish up the plan he and Telford started.

I can get behind this.

Failure, hopelessness, guilt, despair, etc.

Young's been slowly deteriorating throughout the entire season. As of Pain, we know that he sees everything that's happened previously as a string of bad luck, hoping that it will change at some point. The last three episodes pushed him to the limit, and in Incursion Part I he made a promise to himself and others that he will rescue everyone. This is an irrational (but human) promise, and the fact that he made it means that he wasn't thinking clearly, not anymore. Then, when he lost Rivers, and thus broke his promise, he was livid and hysterical. He has been overcome with emotion and the death of Rivers just kept pushing him further. He will do whatever it takes to rescue the others and that includes things that are dangerous and reckless.

The look at the end, IMHO, just shows that he's realized what he's done. Not only did he break his promise, but he also made things much worse with his decisions. His men are about to be executed, the civillians are going to have to bow down before the Lucian Alliance, and his two top soldiers are about to be killed in a most horrible way. There is no hope left. It's all over.

It was defeat. In that they had all lost and soon everyone on Destiny was about to die
