Well, he only quarantined them, so they could still come back (or could if they had a Season 3).
Well yeah. At least to Eli.
Remember, said he had the same idea, but Ginn managed to talk him out of it. Of course, I’m sure he would have done a better job with the simulation criteria, but they obviously could have had something else go wrong.
But Eli didn’t. And, now (as far as he knows) he may never get the chance. Evidence to the contrary, I’m not really trying to defend Eli. But, he’s angry and he needs someone to take that anger out on. He said Amanda probably did it subconsciously. But Amanda is in quarantine, so the duty of being blamed falls on Rush.
I would be, but probably after this spring TV season has ended.
Has anyone else recognized Victor Garber as the Ambassador in this episode?
I miss him on the TV screen after he was Jack Bristow on ALIAS.
Yeah, I kept meaning to make an Alias reference. But, I kinda forgot because I was too busy looking for a red ball and Slusho. d:
Maybe his stone cold face when negotiating. A guest appearence of Faye Dunaway would habe also helped lol. Or at least FRAK…who played Sloane again?? I think Sloane and Rush are like-minded people.
Exactly! It fell into my brain and I rushed to the forums before I saw your answer. 
Hotel, guest house, whatever.
My response, too!
“I’m not a scientist”
“That’s not a problem, I dumbed it down.”
That’s our Rodney
Interesting, convincing Eli is more important to Young. Not surprising, but still it’s interesting to hear him actually say that.
Uh oh Greer’s not looking too hot. 
Eli and Rodney together are precious. I like it.
an ego the size of a bus - that’s an excellent comparison. hehe.
If they kill Greer I’m going to be angry. And sad.
Why do I feel like she’s done something to Ginn?
And that sneaky guy can’t be good.
Oh! a simulation within a simulation…
Ouch. Screwing over our allies? Sounds about par for the course, though.
“relegated to stating the obvious” hehe nice wink.
so how does a computer program evaluate love?
and Eli’s pissed. Understandably so.
Yeah I’m still not sold on the Lucian Alliance as a “big bad,” I mean sure their members screw stuff up for our people, but I’m just not really getting a sense of their motivations. Though since we don’t see them (or others, really) when people from Destiny aren’t around, I suppose it makes some sense, even though it leaves us wondering what’s up…
Thanks. I forgot to bring that up yesterday when it occurred to me.
Well, technically, she’s a computer program. I think the real problem was that it’s too subjective. Because of Perry’s injury, she would have a different concept of love than Rush (who was married, then lost his wife to cancer). I saw a way better explanation of this on Gateworld, but can’t find it now.
I know I’m (way) late to this party, but I’m watching these on Hulu so at best I’m a month behind, and I’ve been busy the past couple weeks.
One thing I was confused about, right as they were trying to trick our allies on that planet (seems very underhanded. Hammond never would have gone for that), Ginn dropped them out of FTL to shake things up a bit and regain control. Why did this not break the connection with the stones? It happens so often that they intentionally did it in the episode before.
I was totally expecting the feldercarb to go DOWN when that happened and… there was nothing.
Yeah, lots of people have noticed that. Best guess is the Langarans either didn’t have time to react because they didn’t know about it or they were only around Tau’ri when it happened.
