Cool! I guessed capillary blood vessels stained with a dye or contrasting fluid and seen under a microscope.

OMG, you linked to TVTropes! Must. Not. Click. Link..............*click*

Say, what's the chance that they contaminate the water with some alien surface life form? I'm sure they know what they're doing but I can't help getting a certain "isolated for 20 million years, wiped out by a common Staphylococcus aureus strain" kinda feeling.

From what I remember of high school chemistry, one end of the soap molecule dissolves in water and the other in fat or oil. So the soap becomes the link between the oil and the water, making little pearls of oil surrounded by soap molecules dissolve into the water. I always thought it was pretty nifty. :)

Mushy is an actual scientific term!? :D

How about the video being very obviously dubbed at the beginning (all the other Chinese were subtitled) and the last picture being photoshopped to make his eyes "glow" and look bluer than normal? I bet the original in Chinese is just a local news story about a kid born with blue eyes, with some mention about him being…

True dat. My mum and her friend were at Finse while they were filming those scenes. They had drinks with Mark Hamill (mostly the crew though)! They were actually offered roles as extras. And they turned it down. *facepalm*

Ooops, he brought ponies to the ANTarctic, obviously...

Norwegians absolutely hero-worship Roald Amundsen, and most of us are pretty good at English, so there! Also, Scott didn't use dogs, he decided to bring ponies to the Arctic. *facepalm*

I agree with the picture, and I'm happy that the rules are stricter now.

There's no reason a bat kept as a pet should have rabies. Where would it get the infection from?

Hmmm... Too long since I saw it to remember clearly but the discussion you guys are having is pretty cool. Definitely a possibility, though it is weird that the boy is missing.

I guess that perspective would make it more interesting, but I still think it's pretty much up for interpretation whether they're aliens or robots and that the movie would have been better without that part. The rest of it has no need for interpretation, why would the last bit be so cryptic? Bear in mind I haven't…

Well maybe if they'd explained that properly. Or not.

I would have said AI if it hadn't been for that awful soppy aliens-are-nice-to-robots ending. If it had ended when he "commited suicide" it would have been a beautiful movie with a sad poignant ending...

I was thinking that it sounded like the basis for Neil Gaiman's authorship... Especially in the Sandman days.

Out of curiosity, where are you from?
