"helllloooooooo"

I'd look at it this way: It's like the bacon with out the heart attack... it's like the syrup without the diabetes...

WTH??? So was that planet supposed to be Earth of the future or something. I don't get it. At least that makes more sense than communicating with another solar system (which should be many light years away) in only a few days.

Well hopefully that resolution includes all three getting Spanish flu. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will jump to the aliens via Leila. Only characters worth while in the whole damn show are Simon and the CIA guy.

I think you're right about the Matrix (again late '90s).

No I didn't! The last one was crazy enough, I figured they were ending on that cliffhanger.

I realize this is off topic, but are we ever going to get a recap for the season (series) finale of The Event. The only reason I watched that crappy show was for the snarky recaps and reader comments. So please... please don't let me down.

2005?? Really? They were fairly popular in Japan in the late '90s, but hardly got any adoption in the US. By 2005 everyone had an MP3 player.

The beheading scene from Image of the Beast is pretty horrible. The only way to interpret it is that God is a real jerk.

Why does Image of the Beast use the music from Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail?

I'm hoping that movies up the recorded frame rate to something like 60 fps or better, so that's gonna require more bandwidth too (though not as much).

I watched the beginning of DS9 religiously... but then went to college and only saw bits and pieces. But I remember that at the beginning Odo said he looked like how he did because he was trying to look like the human scientist that found/raised him and that he was unable to do it perfectly, so he just has that not…

The pixel count is 16x (not just 4x), so more like 560 GB.

Never understood why she looked like a female Odo...

Win!

I would like to "see page 74 for a full explanation of this diagrammatic sketch."

Ummm.. that would never dock with the ISS. You'd need a heck of a lot more energy to reach orbital velocities. This thing basically just goes up and glides down. Also the feather (shuttle cock) scheme would not work from orbit (too much energy to dissipate). Still very impressive.

Wish they had said the far side of the moon rather than the "dark side".

That sounds like it's going to take a lot of time.

No, I know. But tone of the characters' conversation seemed to hint at the loss of cows in general, kind of like how the other universe had no sheep. Might be reaching...
