Ah Ha! That was it. Regeneration must be quite confusing. Although, thinking about it, I'd take that aspect of it gladly . . .

Here we go, let's see if I can get it to imbed for you.

I'm sure that would be "stunning"!

Yeah, Gwen definitely was trying to explore the Bi side in that Series 1 episode with the sex-gas creature. The girl in question was just about dripping pheromones so it was explained as unusual behavior caused by that. However, that scene gave us the great Captain Jack line, "You people and your quaint categories."

I agree with Serenada. It's typical in the gay community when there is an age difference to refer to the younger partner as a "boy" "your boy" or "his boy." It doesn't mean someone underage when used in that context.

Me too on the buffalo burgers! They are big shaggy tasty creatures. Ruby Tuesday restaurants have one on the menu, but be careful to ask for the Bison Burger, or you'll end up with a buffalo-chicken sandwich . . .

I guess it's also worth mentioning that the largest living fish species is a shark. This gentle giant is the whale shark. It is a filter feeder that eats small organisms, sort of like a baleen whale. The largest confirmed individual whale shark measured in at 41.5 feet in length.

Fortunately, you need not be afraid of the huge mouth on the basking shark. They use that giant funnel to feed on small organisms that they filter out of the water. So essentially they are like a baleen whale in that regard, they use their gills in place of the baleen a whale has. You are far too large to be on the…

The asteroid-ship would also have the advantage of having thick layers of rocky shielding to protect against radiation and collisions with small objects. The latter would have serious kinetic energy if you were accelerated up to a fraction of light-speed.

The oil sands have the same problem as the "heavy oil" in the Mideast, it takes a huge amount of energy to extract the oil from them. So maybe they will be economically viable someday, but oil that comes from these sands will be very expensive. Also, extraction of that oil is expected to be more environmentally…

Me either, but on the other hand, I haven't been on a ship for months . . .

+1!

OK, I can understand the point about mythological vs. realistic . However, although it is the most widely-accepted theory, I still have problems with the idea that any normal person could mistake one of these for a humanoid woman. Maybe it could occur if one were afflicted by scurvy or tropical diseases that could…

Actually, in all likelihood mermaids were always manatees (or sea-cows) that humans mistook for aquatic humanoids. Probably a whole lot of grog was involved in these type of sightings.

I'm mainly replying to promote this comment, but you make a very good point. From some of the illustrations in the gallery, it appears that some of artists do believe that mermaids give birth to live young. Therefore, if this interpretation is correct, the breasts would presumably be functional in feeding the young.…

"A Day In The Death"? I sort like Zombie Owen, I found he was less annoying after he died.

Series 1 was the worst, Series 2 is much improved, and Series 3 is one of the best SF Mini-Series ever filmed IMO.

It is a spin-off of Doctor Who, and is most like Doctor Who crossed with CSI.

How about hopeful? I think this will be more like Children of the Earth than a typical series. I also think it will be much better funded due to it being a joint BBC/Starz endeavor.

Saberhagen's Empire of the East also falls into this somewhere I'd say.
