Nicholas Rush-Why he knew about the Destiny's bridge but not said about it everyone.

[Jack_O'Neill]

Why when he found the bridge,he didn't said about it to others crew members. He knew about that "Destiny" have bridge,he knew it of all time but not said to crew. Why he do it,why he don't wanted speak about this area of the ship?

[jelgate]

His love of people and fear of Young

[Artemis-Neith]

Actually it was said in the show. He didn't trust Young. He feared Young would destroy the ship, or hand it somehow over to the LA, as he'd done before. Something like that.

You can brake it down to he didn't trust Young.

Because he's the only qualified person to deal with that level of access. Previously people went around messing with systems they had no knowledge of. Now, he finally had the chance to properly interact with Destiny without people messing around with it, without having to educate everyone else along the way, and without Young breathing in his neck all the time.

Totally agree to you,he didn't want that people was on the bridge,touching the control panels,pushing the buttons which they are don't know and yes he does not trusted Young. Colonel Young could take control of this ship and by this reason Rush do not wanted telling everyone about that he found.

After the events of the LA invasion, and seeing Young's breakdown, i can agree Rush felt he couldn't trust him and the rest. BUT IMO he still should have included SOME of the other techs..

Rush didnt inform anyone for the same reason. He knows no one trusts him.

[pakar]

Rush didn't trust anyone and with good reason. They were all hostile to him (allthough he saved them many times) and Young and all the others were living in a fantasy world believing that they can go back to earth while they were a billion light years away.

Young didn't have a choice. If he was honest and told them they could likely not return, morale would sink like a brick and there would probably be no way of having any kind of organization

Nope. Judging from what they did, they all have engineering degrees while Eli has a maths degree. Rush is the only one with the actual knowledge of ancient systems. Also, if he included anyone they would tell Rush in a heartbeat.

They were hostile to him because Rush also endangered their lives several times and manipulated people to get what he wanted

And living in a lie would help morale? sooner or later they would learn the hard truth and that would be, perhaps, even more devastating.

[Krisz]

Rush wanted to discover Destiny's secrets, he didn't want to go back, it was always a one way trip for him. Letting the others know about the bridge would increase the chance of finding a way to fix Destiny to dial Earth, thus allowing Young to fulfill his promise to get everyone home. Never mind that Rush thought they were all idiots who could never understand the importance of what Destiny was sent out to find. They just all had the misfortune to be caught up in the fallout as Rush followed his obsession so were never part of Rush's plans anyway.

That smug self satisfied smile he had in Air as he stood looking down on the confused and scared mass of humanity in the gate room showed he was happy he succeeded in his wish, to hell with everyone else!

[pakar]

There was no chance to dial Earth from Destiny and Rush knew it right from the beginning.

[garhkal]

We don't know that. Perhaps the dial in that they tried in Earth, or when they were connected to the seed ship could have worked. Though they might have blown up the Destiny.

[thekillman]

Have you ever watched The Mist? Especially the ending is great.

There were plenty of chances to dial earth. They had one right with the seed ship. They're at the other end of the known universe, and nobody knows anything about that. SG1 alone has racked up a MASSIVE count of absolutely unbelievable powers. They could've run into the local version of the Ascended who decided to help them go home, for all we know. There's no chance to go home if they all hung themselves. Any other case, however remote and however unrealistic, there's always a chance to go home.

And living in a lie would help morale? sooner or later they would learn the hard truth and that would be, perhaps, even more devastating.

The world would be hell without lies. Also, what truth? in Season 2 they had two chances to dial home.
