I don't think it's simply a matter of the hierarchy vs. collaborative models. How a system of people operates depends on the people. Colonels Young and Telford are both senior officers with (presumably) similar experience occuping similar slots in the military hierarchy. But Destiny would would be run much differently if Telford were in command instead of Young. The difference is in the two colonels' personalities and relationships with the people on Destiny. Each will weigh the input from subordinates and civilians differently and will be viewed by those subordinates and civilians differently. And Colonel Carter would handle the situation completely differently from either.
I have to laugh because no where in SGU does the leader take the hottest women, most of the survival rations, fuel and weapons to a new world and leave the rest of the employees, I mean, crew to fend for themselves like rats.
@MIster_C: Greer has really improved as a character in the past few episodes. I hated the guy in the first episode (although I suppose that was the intent...).
@amygdala: yeah I did too, I expected him to be a "ooo im hardcore i should be in charge not young" no he's a soldier, he's an ass but he gets the job done and care for those around him
"(And am I the only person who spent the last episode waiting for a big lizard reveal, only to be thwarted? They even talked about skinning an alien just to tease us, the bastards)
Seeing as how it was already revealed they were lizards, I wasn't disappointed.
What I'm hoping for is that Anna is part of a mammoth warning plot where she has already turned against her whole race and wants to save earth, and that she'll reveal her real motives to the fifth column once the revealed BIG fleet is in range. I'm not holding my breath. It's probably going to be stupid.
I'm not really intrigued by Alice. "NEW, MODERN, EDGY, OOOH!" if you want to be new, modern, and edgy, make something new, modern, and edgy.

It's pretty good... compared to the other FF episodes anyhow, but shit actually happens, and we get quite a few answers.
So not to shabby overall.
