    Tom Mason made it a point after their plane crashed that their trip was so secretive that there was no way the mole could have found out about it (unless it was the Vice President lady or Weaver). We the audience know, of course, that Hal himself didn't know about the plane trip - he wasn't told in that episode and

    I like to only judge a season after it's finished, what I call the "lets see where they're going with this" principle. Most people are generous and forgiving if it turns out an ingenious plot twist was being set up.

    I believe that whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you stranger.

    I am concerned that shameless politicians will use genetic testing to demonstrate that certain Native American tribes moved into a given region "only" 1,000 years ago...cynically saying this means they have no right to say that they are not "indigenous" even though they've been living there for many centuries longer

    We have failed to uphold the Prime Directive. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And, in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars?

    It is *physically impossible* to create a real-time internet between Earth and Mars. At *best* it takes electro-magnetic signals about four minutes to travel one way between the two planets (sometimes up to 24 minutes, depending on their relative position at a given time of year). This is why the recent Mars rover

    Kicking ass and taking names in Astapor. That meme is old.

    Battlestar Galactica, post-Season 2.

    That shot was just creepy as hell; something about the way the Overlords have a very rubbery, slinky body movement when they walk. Also, they're a bit more humanoid, which intentionally invokes uncanny valley for how unusual they seem.

    I think they buried her because they'd been searching for hours and had wordlessly given up on finding Dr. Glass. Thus burying the random woman was their way of dealing with not finding Dr. Glass.

    1 - This episode FINALLY revealed, after 2 and a half seasons, that Lourdes' full name is "Lourdes Delgado".

    Even certain asteroids are acknowledged to have "moons" that orbit around them.

    Cerberus makes sense, but why waste "Vulcan" on a minor asteroid-sized moon?

    In both the books and movie, Sam badly wounds Shelob the great spider. He actually wouldn't have been able to seriously hurt it that much on his own (he did take out one of its eyes), but Shelob had Sam under her and decided to beat him into the ground with her abdomen....just as Sam in desperation made a final stab

    You and your damned "facts"...

    Where the stars are scattered thinly, and the cold of space seeps in.
