Did you watch the same episode I did? The reason they left was because of Rush forcing the ships apart and warping out. No one else could stop the ship at the time. The aliens had stunners but not anything better than what the crew had. Telford actually had to show the aliens how to get systems running to find Destiny in a later episode. Turning the ship around was not to go home but back to the seed ship where there was enough power still to make it home through the gate and one of their own men was trapped. Look at the episodes again and tell me you would not have written it different.
I wonder how this would effect slingbox and other personal streaming? And is this because the movie industry is scared of amazon and some others possibly setting up movie vaults to stream movies like they now do music?
Actually I think its more of how unbelievable SG:U is. The military command breaks down all the time, none of them act like trained vets, They try to do the extreme stress build up of BSG all the time and have no penalties. How many times have main characters died? How many times have they had major genetic modifications but seem make it back. With that much stress and no penalties why would people be interested? Spoiler alert: They even find a ring seed ship that can give them the power to make it home. leave it. Find out Rush can control Destiny and DON'T GO BACK.
There is a difference in the average adult life span and average child life span. Average life span of a human that makes it to adult has not changed much at all. But the average life span of a child making it to adult has quite a bit. That can skew how you look at numbers quite a bit if you look at average life span of humans in general. Take for example the average adult life expectancy in 1900 was 47.2 while in 1996 it was around 76. This did not mean at about 50 years most of your adults were kicking the bucket, but that most children died within in the first ten years of life. A lot of adults in 1900's still made it to 76 years old.
Well if its anything like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Solar_Project#Solar_One It will be so bright they will not want to look at it let alone fly near it. I was able to see this tower from miles away and it was bright. Even though the thermal concentrator was painted flat black it was like looking at the sun.
Some of these planes and designs are well over 30 years old. I doubt they thought back then that people would each have three or four mobile transmitters let alone the idea of putting in a big transmitter inside the cabin to coordinate a bunch of little ones.
In life you need to be able to have the ability to lie based on the situation. Such as when your wife asks if her ass looks fat in those jeans, or if the girl she caught you looking at was cuter than her. You still lover her more than the other girl, you have committed your life to her. Why harm her with an observation that will only cause her harm? This man's actions did no harm to the school, no harm to the child and actually improved the child's life by allowing him to greave for a friend and find closure without penalty. What is the harm in that? I doubt that child is now going to cheat on his future wife and file bad tax reports. More likely the child will learn that sometimes you have to lie to help another and that bureaucracy has no compassion.
you only need to search the trash that the trucks have a route in a 30 block radius from where he grabbed the drives, you can even cross match that to the time 2am. and the barge number to the land fill. that would greatly reduce the search area.
I doubt the "real batmobile" ever would have been street legal. One registration search and owned by "Wayne Industries" would have caused a bunch of lawsuits. The costs on roof damage alone would have ruined stock price.
More than likely that is not the money, just emergency cash in case he needs to split. I knew of a billionaire that had over 20 million in his garage. It saved him when a partner froze all his bank accounts by court order.
I was just commenting on the charges part. I find that charges are brought up quite a bit and dropped quite a bit. Its like the police have no initial filter to gauge the incident. Instead run off half cocked and ruin a life.
"And in what way was the Vietnam war in any way profitable for anybody?" Weapons sales? Vietnam war ushered in a whole new weapons system (M-16) for US soldiers and brand new vehicles, as well as new body armor, clothing and defoliants. It was a cash cow for weapons manufacture. Shoot we were dropping brand new helicopters off of ships when we left and left a number of large weapons caches as well. We didn't even blow them up.
Think a better analogy would be "you replace the ECU and a couple of chunks of thermite set off and cut through your engine, transmission, weld your differential and compromise the temper of the frame. Completely disabling the car and costing your more than the price of the vehicle to repair it.
I think there is far more to it than that. At the time the network was pushing Dark Angel and put it in Firefly's spot. I remember being upset about it at the time because the writing for Dark Angel was so crappy.
I get the feeling that there is a ton of office politics in the television industry that will make and break shows. It doesn't matter if the show is great or not they will cancel it. If its a good show with great ratings they will throw it against the best the other networks have to try and break their hold on the time slot. Then cancel it when the ratings go lower.
The way Television is managed destroys creativity and quality. It doesn't matter what you produce as long as you get ratings upfront and if those ratings make network executive "blank" look good. Other wise your toast.
Actually when you think of it, no distribution, no packaging engineers, you dont have to add those RFID tabs to keep them from being stolen, lack of store theft, not having to pay for that super plastic wrap they put on them, not having to pay for the stamping of the cd's, or the cases, cover art is simpler, marketing is simpler, they cover a broader market and instant marketing feed back. How can they not be making hand over fist, unless they pay unreal amounts for their lawsuits and drm. Not only that most artists are making their big money on the concert tickets.
Buy a couple of old luggage xray machines and run the inmates through them. Worst case scenario you remove a bunch of them from the gene pool when you nuke their nethers. But then again there nethers might already be baked from the cell phone that's being smuggled.

It will when you replace that exhaust with a RATO bottle.

Sounds Ferengi to me.
