Disturbing prediction for Knepper's character SPOILERS for future episodes

[KEK]

In a recent interview Robert Carlyle said that Simeon will do something so bad, that Rush will comlpetely forget about the mission, the Destiny and everything else in order to kill him. After his little exchange with TJ, the way he almost forced himself on her and she made a mug of him, I'm think a rape may be on the way

This is the interview, quite spoilery:

I honestly have a hard time believing it to be that in particular, but it must be something pretty bad to get such a reaction out of Rush.

Frankly speaking, this was exactly my the first thought when I heard the description RC made of this episode (that Rush would go mad on Simeon, etc). This option seems to be much more possilbe than that Simeon would kill somebody.

And taking into account what Jenifer Spence said with reference to Lisa Park and the episode Malice, I am wondering even more

Spoiler:

"One [episode] that was especially exciting to shoot was 'Malice' because we traveled to New Mexico and it put Park in an extremely challenging situation which then changed her perspective about Rush."

Wondering if this has something to do with what Rush will do to Simeon.

[Mr. Jack]

He seemed like such a nice guy, too.

[coZma]

What if he kills that ftl specialist that seemed to have a crush on rush? I don't think there is anyone else for whom Rush would risk the mission or Destiny except Gloria and she's dead

[KEK]

Before seeing this interview, my previous theory was that he might kill Ginn to stop her passing along certain information. There's quite a lot of 'orrible **** he could get up to when you think about it

Okay so Dr Parks gets stoned back to Earth for Little Miss Brilliant?

In regards to a reason for Rush to kill anyone (Simeon, in particular), I honestly don't think he'd go that far if Simeon attacked any of the crew, even any of the women. However, if he managed to find out what Rush was doing behind everybody's backs or somehow caused damage to the Destiny ... now I could see Rush killing Simeon over that.

Good guess I would say.

Not sure because RC said that Rush's reaction to Simeon's action let him completely forget Destiny and the mission. In that moment Destiny, which has always been on the first row for him, is put back. So what happens is not directly related to Destiny.

It's not something he finds out, it's something he does according to Robert Carlyle.

[Rob23]

I agree with what someone said earlier it can't be crew related mainly because it's rush, he really doesn't give a crap about anyone on the ship, if I were to speculate i'd say it is bridge related.

[P-90_177]

I dunno....I think it'd be an interesting thing to see that Rush is actually quite protective of certain members of the crew. While we do know he is willing to sacrifice many of them he does stop himself qhen others are in danger. When Eli, Chloe, Scott and Greer were missing in season 1 he stuck his neck out to try and rescue them for example. However, it could be that he views Rape as something that goes beyond murder.

Alternatively it could be that over coming episodes we'll see him have a growing friendship with one of the crew.

Spoiler:

Ginn and Perry use the stones to trade places. Perry goes to help with a problem on Destiny, Ginn goes to report on the Lucian Alliance. Ginn is about to report on a big secret, the big secret Simoen has. Simoen therefore goes in and kills Perry, still in Ginn's body, in order to stop that secret from spilling out. Both Perry and Ginn dies. With Perry being the only person that Rush cares about, sets him off on a rampage.

This theory makes the most sense due to Ginn's limited appearance, 5-6 episodes, the character sheet information about how Simoen is willing to die or kill to protect a secret he's keeping, and how Perry's deal would be the only event might instill that much emotion in Rush.

[Gollumpus]

Well, Wray is putting herself in close proximity to these LA peeps. And she and Rush do have a fairly close relationship. So it is possible that she could be the person injured by Simeon, assuming that this is how things go down.

Spoiler:

It's also possible that Simeon commits an action which Rush himself may have done, which results in injury or death of a third party. The interesting thing will be to see how Rush views similar actions to his own, committed by a different individual.

Spoilers just in case.

PS - Detox's post is interesting.
