    What I don't Understand

    What i don't understand about this episode, and I havnt seen it brought up yet; why didnt they take the little fighter ship to get them(Rush, Young) back?

    If I have overlooked something, the simplicity of that solution please fill me in.

    If by little fighter ship you mean one of the shuttles then they don't have any left, one was lost in 'Faith' the other in 'Aftermath'.

      What I don't understand is... hey lets send the commander and the one person with the most knowledge about ancient systems to a derelict ship floating in space.

          Plot device, nothing more. As soon as Rush wanted to go, especially after his suspicious behavior for the past few weeks, you just *know* that Young is going along with him. And who's going to tell him he can't?

            Well Rush stopped the ship to investigate the ship personally - he figured he'd be fine. Young went to keep an eye on Rush. They both do the offworld thing a lot, so it's not exactly uncommon.

            What I don't understand is how somebody, even if they hadn't seen Aftermath or Faith and realised that we were down two shuttles, missed Brody's big line: "We've got no shuttles."

              What I don't understand is why they didn't send another kino to the rescue. And since they can actually manoeuver Destiny, there wasn't much tension there. Looked like a gratuitous and clumsy "action" scene to me.

                Space is very big, and they might not have been able to shut off the counter. Plus, with the ship moving like that, it'd be hard to get the Kino to them without the ship batting it aside during its spin.

                  What I don't understand is why in god's name you would EVER manually maneuver a ship as advanced as Destiny. You should be able to tell it to match speed and approach an object and it should just plot the course and execute the maneuver itself.

                    If you could control its autopilot, sure, but they can't do that.

                      Even worse they picked two guys who aren't exactly the best of friends. It was obviously done for dramatic effect.

                        I also found this confusing.

                        Surely guiding a Kino over would have been easier than the alternative, even with the spin of the ship.

                          Harder than you think. Kinos don't move that fast, and the ship was spinning at a pretty decent rate. That's a small bullseye to hit.

                            If by fighter ship, you mean all of those blues shuttles, they blew them all up. Without salvaging ANY technology off of them. And yet casually went to unknown ship to salvage technology?????

                            What I can't figure out is how simeon was unguarded. How a year later they still only have TWO working space suits. And how a ship the size of a large city has virtually nothing in it to help the occupants live productive lives. Showers and beds? No library, gift shop, arcarde, day care, sporting arena? Or how a ship that's supposed to undertake a million plus year journey doesn't automatically repair itself. i.e. Just the one robot?

                            Or better yet, what happens when they run out of Kinos?

                              They couldn't exactly get to the second one, and the blues would track them while they were trying to salvage anything.

                              Simeon probably killed his guard, there only found three spacesuits and only two were intact, they've barely explored any of the ship so it may have more rooms, and automatic repair would be just as prone to failure as anything else on that ship.

                              The ship makes more every time they take one. They haven't lost that many anyway.
