I dunno, that last scene makes a really good point. After all, with everything else that the ship has been doing on its own, why would it be wrong this time? I called it last week. I'm just puzzled why no one else thought of it until later.
And I'm not sure why, if Rush did know, he would let those people and the only working shuttle with crates of needed supplies leave the ship. So while I don't entirely buy the idea of him knowing and keeping quiet, it could fit in to his character in some way.

I don't think Rush knew. If he did, why did he get that surprised look on his face in his room? Why would he put on an act if no one is looking?

Course, the other characters don't know about that, for the same reason it makes a good argument for why he didn't know.

I also wasn't expecting it to fly into the star, the effect seemed cheesy. Also I think the somber mood of the episode was somewhat cheapened by the fact it's only the fifth episode, of course they weren't all going to die so soon after the first episode.

Not really. Aside from perhaps Eli, we really haven't gotten to know any of the characters enough to care if they get killed. To do so at this point just for the sake of it would be hollow and gimmicky. Just look at how many characters that shows like Lost and Heroes have killed off and just how many of them does anyone miss?
Plus of course they've only been on the Destiny now for what? 48 hours? 62 at the outside.

I think Rush might have known. He clearly thinks he should be in charge and I'd assume his plan was that the Colonel would be hand picking those to board the shuttle which would consist of the best and brightest, himself among them leaving Rush with the rest and take charge.

I liked the episode. I think it's the best one yet. I picked that it was going to scoop up star-stuff but didn't say so. That was probably the most annoying part - it was kinda predictable in that aspect. I didn't think the effects were cheesy at ALL. They were all infact quite beautiful.
I liked the end part - but I don't believe he did know.
The nerd love was subtly - what's wrong with that? The show has to have SOME heart.
It'd be interesting if they did it so NONE of us saw the outside of the ship until this episode. That'd be cool. They'd never have done that though.

I despise the lack of opening credits, though. If the end credits theme is anything to go by, it would've been awesome.

I'm talking about the music during the show. Especially in this last episode at the point where Rush is in his room reading his book and then looks at his watch and realises that nothing has happened to the ship yet.
