I'm desperately hoping that they bring back all the writers and cast, and that they DON'T CHANGE A THING!
The only thing WRONG with the show, so far, was that it ENDED.
Mach 6, in an 18" diameter tube, for 8 seconds, by venting a pumped-out tank. Howinhell BIG is a tank that can pull that kind of volume over that length of time? And I wonder how long pumpdown takes.
My option:
bought a LiteOn LVW-5005 from Costco (US$129) about 6 months ago and am loving it:
NTSC/PAL, 1/2/4/6 hours on a disc (and can mix recording speeds), tuner/composite/s-video/digital inputs (I can jack a digital videocamera into it and spool to disc), does VCDs & audio discs, 5-event timer, CD/DVD+R/DVD-R, even does rewritables - if I want to keep/share it, it's permanent; otherwise I can erase it.
I looked at TiVo and Replay and saw a lot of commitment and a lot of inconvenience and a lot of rules and a lot of inflexibility for a lot of money.
I should think the best approach would be a _planar_ filter with an antireflective coating optimized for near-IR: the coating would help minimize reflection and a flat/planar filter mounted off-normal from the optical axis would (for the most part) prevent retroreflection to the sensor.
A good reflective coating optimized for near-IR on the filter would be another way too - any TRANSMISSIVE filters you stick in the optical path may have an overall negative effect on the image.

Also: it takes nothing to make a CGI movie; compared to the original - in DC1 everything was live: there wasn't any CG in it.
Prediction: GK will make a Skeksis-movie that'll look like Dexter's lab.

I think I'd rather see a list of the top-50 non-spaceship-related television shows.

Did somebody say Thunderbirds?
You'd better mean Thunderbirds as in 'Supermarionation', and not as in that went-nowhere movie the other year...
