Oooo, swanky new layout with the title card. So much readiness for action… so excited. Yay for the new season!
Yeah, I’m really digging the layout, and the title card works especially well. Good show, doc.
Ditto.
Hehe…stranger then usual? Nope

I wonder how long it’ll be before Earth’s inhabitants develop some viable form of space travel? Rocket propelled travel is really expensive on fuel, manpower to run it, and preparation time, we really need a better propulsion system first.
At the rate we’re going currently, I predict sometime around the 2,500 year mark we might finally get some real space travel going.
Antimatter? Ion Repulsion (not sure how, just found it on Discovery Channel a year ago)? Warping space to them? Magnets?
Of the four, “warping space to them” is the only real chance for convenient space travel; you have to warp spacetime somehow in order to go faster than light.
Well, one could always neutralize the pesky effects of inertia, but they haven’t discovered how to do that yet. I’m quoting from E. E. ‘Doc’ Smith’s “Lensman” series, where a scientist called Dr. Bergenholm invents a Bergenholm machine that neutralizes the effects of inertia, and makes space travel a lot easier.
There was a whole series of fictional devices he used in that book series, but that’s what Google is for!
Don’t forget the null space route taken by in the Future History by Heinlein, and later the XYZ axis translation method which allowed for travel at no time, because it removed time as a factor.
and there is the Honor Harrington books were “gravity” is a magic word for everything space travel.
It feels like the crew generates some sort of authority aura when almost all of them are wearing epaulets.
I see no way this will go wrong.
And whatever happened with the Captain’s romance with… The Engineer Marine
Or the robot security guy?
The Captain and Shauna are still together, they’re just not all PDA about it. Mostly cause it’s hard to show romance with LEGO minifigs.
46 is still headless and being repaired, that will be resolved this season.
Necron nebula… any relation to the Necrons of Warhammer 40000?
none whatsoever.
