Yeah, I don't see the Ethernet port going away unless they're selling a docking station (for enterprise) or a dongle (for travel). I still run into far too many hotels where the wifi is far sketchier than the hardline, and no Ethernet kills the MBP as a road-warrior computer if connectivity in some form isn't a given.
What about "The Venture Brothers"? A single father with two children so death-prone, he's had to clone them almost two dozen times; a previous live-in bodyguard (and former college roommate) who was more of a father to his boys than he was; a current live-in bodyguard (and diagnosed pedophile) who's more of a mother to his boys than anyone ever has been; and a thought-to-be-still-born brother who forced his way out from within his own body! Add in the 'extended' family (Dr. Orpheus, the S.P.H.I.N.X team, Billy Quizboy & Pete White, H.E.L.P.R.), and that's about as unconventional a family as I can think of...
That's not how airlines define seat pitch. Seat pitch is usually the distance from, say, the seatback in row 8 to the same spot on the seat in row 9; effectively, the measurement includes the entire depth of the seat you're occupying. Pitch does not equal legroom. No Y class cabin on EARTH has 31 practical inches of legroom.
I stand corrected. Honestly, the transition over the series from models to CG was so well done, I never really noticed (aside from the fact that the battles became more and more densely populated and complex). Maybe it was the fact that some of the sequences were still shot (largely) like a 2D battlefield, with flotillas of ships converging on the X-axis.
I'll concede that Cranston is a good thing - perhaps I spoke a bit too hastily. But the rest of that synopsis still sounds horrible to me.
Maybe not a full remaster, but it could stand a cleanup for BD release, as SG1969 said. I'd also love to see what some of the larger Dominion War battle sequences would look like fully rendered in CG, freed from the limitations of practical models.
This is the only fragment of the entire "Total Recall" synopsis that sounds at all entertaining or encouraging:
head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy)
The rest of it just sounds painful.
No amount of technical wizardry will make "Encounter at Farpoint" watchable.
Now when they decide to remaster DS9...
So a sizable chunk of Newt's foreign policy/defense strategy is based on...what, too many late-night viewings of "Goldeneye"?!?
OK - that means the episode has to fall somewhere before "The 40th Floor" (episode 3.8). Still, that's a good chunk of season 3.
"Damn, you're right--that's why she authorized the prison break. They didn't make it overt, but that's the best way to make sense of her actions."
Didn't make it overt? The guard who allowed Pete & Myka specifically mentioned Mrs. Fredric by name, and her name was REALLY prominent on the report MacPherson received at W13. No, nothing overt about that.
IIRC from season 3, Jane was already a Regent by the time Pete was born, although she'd taken a break to raise Pete. So it makes perfect sense that Fredric would have made the connection (plus, don't forget her freaky ability to read people) and arrange Artie & Claudia's releases.
One more point, about where this episode fits into continuity. The episode could easily be slipped into the middle of season 3, after Steve Jinks was 'burned' by Mrs. F. (Someone mentioned a reference to Jinks in the episode - did I miss it?) Even if it's not a perfect fit into canon, it works well enough - and if that's not a good enough explanation, remember the framing device they used: a storybook being opened and closed, accompanied by a CCH Pounder voiceover, which says to the viewer "just repeat to yourself 'it's just a show, I should really just relax'." (By contrast, as noted in another comment thread, the Eureka Xmas episodes can't work ANYWHERE in canon.)

And "KMART". KMART!!! To quote Geoff Peterson, "Is that code?"
And what about the Lando/G'kar death sequence? A bitter enemy turned close friend carrying out one final request of a doomed man...
Remember too that in "The Pandorica Opens", the head of the decapitated Cyberman standing guard over the Pandorica splits open, sheds a human skull and tries to...and there's no kind way to say this...eat Amy's face. So that much was consistent.
Also, if I remember correctly, Rose name-drops Spock a few times when comparing the Ninth Doctor and Capt. Jack Harkness in "The Empty Child"...
THANK YOU. I know people are drawing the obvious connection to Quantum Leap, but I think the Source Code concept sounds more like 7 Days than QL.
There was a heliport near the WTC, which I believe was closed after the attacks. The code would have remained on the database in some sort of inactive state so that it couldn't be reassigned.
Or, given your screen name and avatar, if it makes you feel any better...it's the South Street Spaceport.

There were definitely some references to Battle of the Planets, et al in there, but the Voltron theme, the idea of trucks flying in space, and hell, a whole animated sequence were lifted wholesale from the old cartoon.

My pleasure. TiVo + slow-motion/frame advance is a beautiful thing.
The different eras of Red Dwarf all have their good and bad points; I always thought series 2 & 6 were the strongest overall, personally, but series 8 grew on me after repeated viewings - I liked the idea that, after all these years alone in the universe, the crew (and the newly reacquired Kochanski) had to deal with the full Red Dwarf crew again, and the prison cell home base setting brought back some of the claustrophobic dynamic of the series 1 & 2 sleeping quarters scenes.
The "Back to Earth" specials had the benefit of an increased budget, but the script didn't work for me. I'm not happy to see it being included in canon, but what can you do...?
