Just a quick Dr Rush question...

In episode 5, light, (where they are heading for that star and 15 people are chosen via lottery to head for a possibly habitable planet in a shuttle) at the end it is hinted that Dr Rush didn’t put his name in the lottery because he may have already known that Destiny would survive going through the star.

Now if that WAS the case, (and I’m not saying it was) what would his reasoning be behind that? Why would he want to get rid of 15 people? It’s not as if he would have any control over who those people were if it was a lottery... So there would be 15 less people to feed, use power, use water and therefore supplies would last longer? What do you think?

I do realise that it was probably just Colonel Young being overly suspicious... I know Dr Rush is a little scheming and underhanded but I really don’t think he would murder 15 people just to save supplies or get them out the way. Do you find this valuable?

Maybe he wasn't sure if they would make it or not.
I'm sure he would have kept it to himself...mostly because he was still unsure at the time.
Seems as time goes on and he learns more about Destiny, he keeps more to himself...for fear of losing his advantage over the others. Do you find this valuable?
