So Rush got marooned, and Young is lying about it. And ironically, Young is probably doing it for the EXACT reasons that he was accused of killing Spencer.
We haven't seen the last of Rush, of course. My bet: that's not an unknown alien ship; it's actually one of the gate-seeder ships. Since those ships most likely predate the Destiny itself, that's why they couldn't recognize it. And so Rush is going to get inside the ship, find a trove of unused Stargates, and find a way to 'gate back to Destiny.

Except, there's already a perfectly usable gate on the planet. He doesn't need more gates. The problem is that the ship is out of range. Either he needs more energy to create a longer wormhole (hopefully, the ship would be with eight-chevron distances?), or he needs to get the crashed ship flying and catch up.

My money is on his flying the ship out of there. It looked intact enough, just completely out of juice. Perhaps there's enough juice still in the stargate to recharge it?
As for it being a seedership; frankly I doubt it. Somehow I think those things are much bigger than that, if not bigger than Destiny itself.

Or he needs to gate to a planet in range of Destiny.
And of course, the obligatory question: Did Destiny itself consider the discovery of the ship important enough to warrant a stop?

Well at the end, Rush looks up in the direction of the ship, like maybe he's seeing something that wasn't there before. Maybe the ship is occupied?
Also, I also wonder if Destiny did stop at the planet for some reason other than a crashed ship being there.

Scott said Greer couldn't have killed Spencer because "What? He...shot him, then ran away to hide the gun, then [said in a tone of disbelief as if the idea is crazy] *ran back and called it in*?"
Uh...yeah? Sure? Why is that not a totally valid plan that would probably work, especially since (as the *next line out of Scott's mouth* points out) there'd be no evidence linking him to the crime?

Have I ever mentioned that I hate endings like this? Especially when I don't know when the show is going to air again... bleh. Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :

Without a Kino or DHD remote or any idea where Destiny is going or what the address of a habitable world in it's flightpath might be? It's just crazy enough to work!
As for Greer being a suspect, Scott was right that there's no hard evidence linking him to the "murder". All they know for a fact is that he was in the room a few hours after the death, anything else is circumstantial at best, speculation at worst. Of course there was just as much evidence against Young, but that's rather the point.

Well, for Greer, we don't know how long he was in the mess hall for them to get him to try the potato-like plant they found. I got the impression that he was there long enough to exonerate him.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I think Spencer was supposed to have been dead for a few hours by then, so Greer's presence in the mess probably didn't do anything to get him off the hook.
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
Didn't TJ say that Spencer had only been dead for an hour before Greer found him?
Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :
Well it's all rather academic now, since it actually WAS a suicide.
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
Well, I mean, Scott said Greer was "the only person we can rule out as a suspect." On the basis, apparently, of the idea of him hiding the gun then running back to call it in being absurd. A detective he ain't.

I hope that this doesn't head down a path like the original Baltar where Rush leads the alien-ship in pursuit of the Destiny to exact revenge. I just have this bad vibe that we're about to be introduced to some "Bad Dudes" who will of course want the Destiny for themselves.
I rather have enjoyed the kind of refreshing theme of a dysfunctional group trying to survive without having to deal with an enemy other than their own human weaknesses.

Well, you do realize that, this being Stargate, there HAS to be an alien bad guy, right? Coming sooner than you'd think...

So! The conclusion episode to Justice, Space, airs 2 April 2010.
