Rush and Young Headed for New Revelations *SPOILERS*

[The Wormhole]

You know, that was actually sounding kind of promising up until the "But is Rush telling the truth?" part.

I think that may just be Carlyle covering a bit for having given away most of what happens in the first half, not that Syfy's trailers don't do that already.

I prefer them working together. And Rush had really changed in the last few episodes of the season--at peace with himself.

As on Voyager, continuous infighting is ridiculous when there's an external enemy or plain survival is at stake. It gets monotonous. Provided the "working together" is built up to, it shows growth in the characters. When not built up to, it shows lazy writers and idiot networks/producers.

Voyager was a bit too quick to make everyone friends, but you are right the constant fighting among the SGU characters is getting tiresome.

Atlantis actually handled this somewhat realistically in its first season. For the most part everyone worked together peacefully enough, with notable exceptions. Things like Dr. Kavanagh whining about Weir, Teyla and Sgt. Bates always at each others throats and McKay getting pissed at everyone.

Let's face it, no matter the circumstance there's always going to be people who don't get along with someone.

I'm hoping they use this direct threat as something to unify the characters into ONE group. But that's not necessarily easy to show beyond the leads and immediate supporting characters since we don't know a lot of the redshirts. Which is where that broadly-disliked montage comes in handy. Showing people sitting separately while off-duty, then intermixing more and more until they are a single group.

Which would also allow for dissipating the stupid tensions that were ridiculous to start with, and leave unresolved for now the actual tensions. These can flare up at the most inconvenient times. But, again, the redshirts' tensions were never clearly explored to allow this. Leaving only the leads' problems, shoved aside for now, to rise again.
