In the future, Weyland-Yutani, Omni Consumer Products, and the Tyrell Corporation will all be owned by Beatrice.

Actually, there was at least one scene in the series where the Eagle engine room was seen- it was located at the back of the ship, in the rear pod behind the crew module. (It actually makes sense for it to be there; it should be in a part of the ship that remains with the ship when the modules are switched out, and…

And an operating envelope that included atmospheric travel.

Is the crewmember in the background the (ironically-named) Doctor Crusher?

Naah, I'd rather glide down the Misipii on a methalog raft with those Titanide scamps, Hukfiin and Tomsaya.

It's because high-end American TV shows are and have been, for the most part, shot on film. Up until a few years ago, with notable exceptions in sitcoms during the 1970's, most of the high-budget work produced for television has been shot on 35mm film at 24 frames per second, and then "bumped up" to 30 frames using a…

I'm not sure they "drive" in Russia. I think they aim.

Although that DOES redefine the concept of "the little man in the boat..."

Don't forget, we also have Peter Weller in this film, as well- I wouldn't put it past JJ Abrams to give us a Gary Mitchell/Khan Noonien Singh two-fer.

Not to mention...

I think Steve Martin said it best:

"Anarchy is the least stable of social structures. It falls apart at a touch."- Larry Niven

And just imagine what the luggage carousels would be like...

The Moonbase Interceptors from the 1970's Gerry Anderson series, "UFO", have always been one of my favorites. They're a weird amalgam of streamlining and clunky, guts-on-the-outside design. Plus, the ungainly way they work- one big, honkin' missile on the nose... and that's it. Better not miss with that first shot,…

"The Doctor Who Came In From The Cold" would work, with a new race of threatening aliens called The Cold. Discuss.
