Defying Gravity: Discussion thread for the remaining episodes.

^Probably not 3D "holographic" emitters (since that's not how holograms actually work), but probably 3D printing/rapid prototyping, a technology that's already increasingly available today.

And you're right -- cars will probably have advanced collision avoidance by 2052, and probably even drive themselves so that people can safely use cell phones and other distractions. The futurism on this show is terrible.

50 years later and bluetooth still isn't standard of Chevys!!! ha ha ha

 

[Archangel]

The car accident was the most pointless thing ever. Maybe it was because I had just watched SG:U, but it seemed less silly the DG. It's like they just wanted to throw some pointless angst into the show by damaging one of the better characters. I guess Jen will now be free to completely flip out. Mayeb she and Paula can be roomies.

 

[kes7]

Seriously. I just watched that. WTF? That came out of nowhere and I liked Raleigh. I assume he was a little drunk, and this is going to be a bigger deal than a "don't text while driving" PSA set fifty years in the future?

 

[N-121973]

Any idea when its going to be screened on the BBC? And if it already has, when the DVD is out?

 

[Aragorn]

Episode 11 is on deck on ch131.com.

 

[1001001]

Episode 11 is on deck on ch131.com.

Excellent.

I'm going to check it out tomorrow.

I can't believe I'm so hooked on a show that's not all that good....

Scary isn't it.. I'm counting down the minutes to the new ep.

 

[firehawk12]

Well, not much to say other than I'm just watching this for the sake of completion now. This could have been a great miniseries - I imagine the UK show but with more money thrown at it and with real actors. But now? I don't even know why it's set in space at all. They could all be wearing scrubs working in an ER and I wouldn't notice a difference.

 

[Apogeal Alpha01]

I come here looking for s1e10 but all I find is hollytrash polemic canucks?? anyway this is what i got http://stagevu.com/video/iveapasmnciu

Thanks, this looks like a bit higher quality than Channel 131's download.

 

[Apogeal Alpha01]

I noticed that Paula did not have a problem with the lander until she stuck the St. Christopher medal to the control panel of the lander. Did Beta object, as in "You shall put no other Gods before Me?"

 

[Count Zero]

Well, Beta is Satan. But I think the St. Christopher medal has been there for a while, when she was still able to pilot the lander without any problem in the simulation.

 

[Tomato]

Another meh episode. Everything is just the same as before and nothing really happens. What episode are we are at now?

I just hope the final episode is trys to wrap everything up.

 

[T J]

I do believe Paula is going to kill the crew in their sleep...

 

[Aragorn]

Nice to see that in this future, the United States isn't soft on drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter.

Is Paula modeled after Kirk Cameron?

 

[firehawk12]

Given the slow burn, I anticipate a huge cliffhanger at the end of the Venus mission. Oh well.

 

[Count Zero]

Only two more episodes to go. I think it'll end on a cliff hanger. The episode was meh, and everything is still moing along extremely slowly. By the way, where did Steve's model from last episode go?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Nothing in this show yet has topped the revelation that Jean Grey is going to come back from the dead and lead the X-Men.

 

[Trent Roman]

Is Paula modeled after Kirk Cameron?

How do you mean? Kirk Cameron bases his sales pitch on being a convert to Christianity, while Morales appears to have been raised in the faith. Morales also appears to have a fair amount of technical proficiency (when not going crazy), while Cameron has the mentality of a syphilitic donkey.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Who the fuck watches these shit shows? Lost has poisoned your minds.
