Interesting. While I understand the arguments about the knowledge of science and medicine (I even included them in my post), I still can't fathom that the population could grow so fast. Oh well

If it wasn't canceled, maybe they'd arrive at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? :)

I personally like that cute girl they met first. Go Eli!

"Six months ago, I didn't care whether SGU lived or died. Now, I find myself praying to the gods of science fiction that this series will somehow survive, someway."

Why do you repeatedly state that they should have reached 6-7 billion population 500 years ago? Not trying to shoot you down, just curious.

It's all about instant gratification now. Both for the audience and the studios. It's our fault too.

Considering at least half of the people there were scientists, I suppose at least they could agree that ensuring long-term survival by maximizing the gene pool and minimizing inbreeding was far more important than societal concerns.

You didn't pay attention, did you? Those who fled the planet on spaceships are traveling at sub-light speeds to one of planets scouted out through the gate. The journey will take several hundred years.

I have to say you got a brilliant idea there!

I love it how you and Nick Jones below, round DOWN the prices. ~$23.6987 million becomes 23.6 for you, and $3.99 shipping becomes $3 for him. It seems the intended psychological effect behind the .99 pricing works great on both you ;)

+1 for Geralt the Witcher. I hope that you English-speaking folks will have the whole saga to read in the near future.

Oh God, I remember that one. I was reading it years ago (like, 7? maybe more) but stopped. His previous work, Exploitation Now, I think, was also quite nice. Thanks for reminding me!

You and Canuck need to vistit the IRC odeck more.

I just don't get her. She's skinny and has a weird face, the voice is kinda grating, but the whole package is so awesome. Damn you, exotic combinations of features.

Headphones are your friends.

Very weird. I didn't mind it one bit. Although, her blank stares and absent-mindedness make it somewhat weird for me.

Well, Americans seem to be a lot more concerned with sex, sex taboos and sex violence than with plain old violence (be it justified, understated, gratuitous, over the top, gore), so no surprises here.

maybe.... Cosmic Sans?
