"This sort of thing was all the rage in the mid-00s with movies like Crash and Babel."

My favorite was always this one...

Yeah, I gave up on it when that weak, monotone and, more importantly, male voice comes over the village PA system. Nobody can top Fenella Fielding.

Ohhhh, that's awesome! "The Prisoner Channel"

Well, I'll just check out this new "fix" by looking at southern Australia, which I'd always felt had the worst patchy-ness.

I had them in the folks' garage, in a box clearly labeled "Chris' Books"...

Major Matt Mason, you mean?

I've always been most fascinated by the sedimentary layered terrain in the Arabia Terra region.

"...I didn't see the comic drawing scene as a signal to the audience that he's a loser."

"...but we're three episodes in and things are boding well."

Yeah, I hadn't noticed the Mustang last week, 'cause we didn't see her actually driving it 'til this week, but yeah, that's awesome!

I haven't cared about the Oscars since Apollo 13 lost the Visual Effects award to Babe.

Y'know, I once saw a couple with the cutest puppy. They said it was a mix of Chihuahua and Pit Bull... and that the Chihuahua was the father.

Soooo, the constrictor species are basically living sphygmomanometers?

Actually, I don't have a problem with the special effects looking "dated", because even with the "primitive" CGI you never have flickery matte lines, yet you always have proper physics, the shadows cast upon an object in space always match the angle of the "sun", etc.

Don't forget Tim "Zathras" Choate (although he wasn't in the core cast).

Concur. I was absolutely inconsolable when I watched it.

Seconded! Well done, Jason!
