@maliciastarling: Great post. :)

@antonchigurh: No, only here on io9.

@gmuslera:

Unlike you, Alasdair, I've been liking NOF since the start, though I'll promptly admit that the show has had problems.

@antonchigurh: Yeah, we're science buddies.

ST-TOS, then Star Wars, then TNG, DS9, VOY, and (yuck-)Enterprise. Far more a trekkie than a SW fan.

Did anyone else notice the gift boxes in the opening credits, sprinkled between the artifacts? Nice touch.

@despsuno: Yeah, I felt the same way about Eureka.

@corpore-metal: Exactly!

Ahh, the Rubik's Cube... so many fond memories it brings me, of the chemistry classes in my first year in college, in 1981. I used to sit near the back and play with the cube, rather than pay attention to the boring lessons.

@corpore-metal: No, I think you got it right.

@corpore-metal:

The microorganisms in my stomach may have arranged my marriage, but lemme tell ya, it was those in hers that caused our divorce.
