I think Forty-Two should be your call sign. Doesn't matter that you're not pilot. We should just start calling you Forty-Two anyway. I know I will -- if I can remember. :D
I think you're right about RDM. Also, one of my pet peeves with this is show -- and most sci-fi shows, to be honest -- is the physics. Like, what exposure to the vacuum of space does to a body. Basically, you'd explode and freeze (I'm just not sure if that would occur simultaneously or in a certain order). There's a reason for pressure suits and it's that all of us have internal pressure that is the opposite of the outside pressure (lots and lots of air above our heads). If that wasn't the case, we wouldn't be able to breathe. We'd basically implode. And let's not even get started about how sound doesn't travel in a vacuum because it has no carrier. ^^
*coughs* *steps off soap box*
I should just get back to watching the end of season three. Don't mind me. :D
I totally don't mind you and I even get you. It's a discussion Ralf and I had before. I'm not even partially as smart as you are but read a book or two about physics and space too. Honestly, such things bother me a lot. It may be small things but would be very easy to take into account. *sigh* But maybe exploding people wouldn't be the hit for a television show. *lol*
Have fun with the rest of season three! I fondly remember the times when I watched one ep after the other. *g*
Nowadays they only bother me when the episode is centered around something that is physically impossible like a certain season three episode.
I even understand why they choose to have sound in space. Just imagine big frakking special effect scenes in space, ships crashing into each other or exploding, and you hear nothing. To the normal viewer, even to the physicists among us, that would be immensely jarring. Just because we know there's no sound in space doesn't mean we'd deal well with being faced with reality on an action/sci-fi TV show.
Can't you imagine it? The viewer taking his/her remote control setting it on the highest setting, doubting his/her ears and then the next scene? *giggles*
