Line 13:
* In "Subversion", Young and Rush discover that Col. Telford {{spoiler|is a spy for the Lucian Alliance}}. When he {{spoiler|refuses to tell them the location of the Alliance's base}}, Young locks Telford (who is using Rush's body no less) in his quarters and {{spoiler|begins venting the atmosphere out of the room.}}
* O'Neill's epic dressing down of Young in "Incursion, Part 1" for his indecisiveness in {{spoiler|dealing with the Lucian Alliance invasion}}.
* The [[Twenty Four24|Jack Bauer-like]] moment when Young ''forcefully'' interrogates Telford was golden and well written, well acted, and well directed, but that wasn't what did it for this troper (who's made no secret of his disdain for ''Universe''). Following that ordeal, Young's de facto 2IC, Lt. Scott gets too big for his rank and suggests that Young should have properly explained what he was doing. Young basically tells Scott to STFU and fall in line. For all the talk of [[Character Development]], this troper is absolutely '''loving''' watching Young become the [[Colonel Badass]] many folks always knew he had in him.
** Greer gets in on this action in the next episode. He insists to Scott that they need to believe in Colonel Young's leadership. When Scott admits he doesn't know how to be so unwaveringly faithful, Greer straight up says "learn". Hell. Yes.
** I think Greer started getting on the awesome bandwagon when we ''beat the '''snot''''' out of Colonel Telford in the previous episode when Telford jumped Young. It wasn't even a very long fight, either. Greer went in and beat the shit out of Telford in six seconds flat.
Line 22:
* And finally, faced with Dannic losing his shit per the above, and [[Kick the Dog|having nearly been strangled by him earlier]], Ginn finally gets tired of his crap and shoots him in the back four times, doing what no one else had the courage to do (save Telford, but he didn't have a gun).
* We really can't forget about our boy Varro. As Varro points out to [[Jerkass]] Colonel Young, if not for Varro doing his best to be the [[Only Sane Man]] onboard Destiny, the Lucian Alliance would've used the expedition for target practice.
* TJ gets one in "Awakening". She's treating Simeon and he tries to get physical by grabbing her arm. She instantly twists his arm back and practically has him saying "Uncle" inside of five seconds. TJ is no [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]].
* Though more of a character episode, Wray gets one that doubles as a [[Heartwarming Moment]] in "Pathogen". Eli's worried that his mother will let herself die if he can't snap her out of his depression, and nothing's working. Wray calls up her superiors and outright demands that they arrange to have her use the stones to visit Destiny, security clearance be damned. They do it. No matter what you think of her past actions, that was awesome.
* Greer in "Cloverdale", simply put Greer + Flamethrowers( multiple) / Gate used as weapon vs hostile alien plantlife = Awesome.
Line 34:
* All over the place in the final episode, "Gauntlet", from piloting an automated shuttle to blow up a Command Ship, and to Eli, {{spoiler|who elected to stay behind in order to fix the final stasis pod, stepping up from out of Rush's shadow once and for all.}}
* In "Blockade", Eli {{spoiler|fucking flies Destiny through a blue supergiant! For a comparison, blue supergiants are second only to hypergiants in size, and are significantly hotter than most stars. This was something Rush didn't ''dare'' to do (and didn't think that Eli could do it). Then Eli "casually" saves Park.}}
{{quote| '''Rush:''' I kept checking his calculations for mistakes...there weren't any. It was beautiful.}}
