Herc+RATO=awesome. Except when it fails spectacularly. Really, I think it's RAL as well--rocket-assisted-landing...

Just avoid RR-powered 787s. Kind of like avoiding RR-powered A380s...

By that line of thinking, why even have the movie at all? Most of the audience already knows the story.

Then you're sure to love the preview for next week's ep http://video.syfy.com/shows/universe (should be the default vid it plays) Skip forward to the mid-point if you wish.

I of course, feel the need to point out Grace: For the first couple eps, we all thought that Grace was some poor manager/agent, whose thankless job was to put up with a bitchy diva and schedule her public appearances. Then there was the Gallia IV arc. That changed everything, rapidly. But even after that, most people were still totally clueless as to her true nature, as Grace 2.0 showed up in Sheryl's hospital room hours later. It wasn't until the very end that anyone other than Brera really knew what was going on. In the movie--she's fully revealed in front of everyone very quickly, and we see her "talking in the green cyber-room" about 20 episodes earlier than in the series. She lost all of her backstory/intrigue. She's no longer a "hidden backroom manipulator" who's revealed much later.

Better lately, but still annoyed that Caprica was cancelled...

Actually, last 3 uncontained, forgot about the 787 test. It just wasn't on a plane at the moment. miles---you may be thinking of the Delta MD-88 in Pensacola. However, that was a fan blade. All the recent RR issues seem to be turbine blades. Yes, uncontained is exactly what it sounds like. The parts are either contained within the nacelle, or they bust through. The inner lining of most nacelles is kevlar for that reason---flying blades are very dangerous to both people and the aircraft. All the famous bird and intentional detonation tests are done on the fans, because they're the largest blades---but lately it seems they should check the turbines---smaller, but faster.

Don't blame QANTAS, blame RR. The world's last 2 uncontained engine failures were both RR...

Not dumbed down? Have you read the official character descriptions? Dr Mindbender's experiments are "totally dangerous and like super-illegal". CC is "one scary and uber-powerful dude".

NASA has the world's coolest backlot. "Is that an F-16XL? No, it's both of them!"

Thrust doesn't pegwarm in my experience. His ricey case-mate sure does though.

Seconded. I think it's most ironic in the current Hemi crop---many owners are proud to open their hood and show off their engine--without realizing that all they're showing you is a piece of plastic. It blows their minds when you pop it off and show them their actual engine for the first time... On my last car, I took the cover and its mount off permanently, otherwise you couldn't see the supercharger...

Found Classics Dirge, but there was something "off" so I had to pass. Is it supposed to be "bent" to fit in the inner tray? And legs split apart?

The toy.

Ok, that was a whole lot less than I was expecting.

That's why it's online, and called episode zero, not episode one. Think of this as a dress rehearsal.

It's rather hard to make Sundowner decals fit any plane but what they were designed for. Jolly Rogers is easily adapted.

'cept that Basara doesn't play drums...

Free Dragon Age 2 goodie: http://dragonage.bioware.com/da2/info/pennyarcade/ ('tis a belt)

Ok, that's utterly insane. How many hours for that?

No problems here. I'd vote one file/chunk was improperly downloaded or something.

I've just gotta say---those are 100% Navy markings of a Navy squadron with a Navy designation and number. Why call it "Marines" when it's not? Plenty of awesome Marine squadrons to choose from.

When VLC and MPC don't work, I try Zoom player.

Yup, AFAIK the infamous "Super-soldier serum" is little more than steroids. That's the 'secret' that created Captain America from a weakling.
