A better storyline might have been that the hominds they encountered were Neanderthal and that homosapien came from the colonies. That actually could be almost believable from our fossil records. Homosapien does appear to have direct ancestors from about 600,000 years ago, but the show could have said "Wow, we are pretty similar, we might have had common ancestors a million years ago."

Think about it: human evolution on time scales that we can observe. Take that, creationists! #science

@Roklimber: The product of his own mad science gone awry, this hideous "glow-in-dark" villain loves radioactivity. Able to control his body's radiation, the Duke uses it to intimidate his enemies into submission. Other characters must wear protective suits if they are going to spend a lot of time around him.
The Duke consumes radiation to make himself more powerful and must "recharge" himself periodically by exposing his body to massive doses of radiation. His long-term plan is to turn the world into a radioactive wasteland where he and his kind will thrive. Until then, he bides his time, hoping to set off a chain reaction here and there - maybe even a nuclear war.

Well, this is the only way anything's ever going to get done in space... People don't seem to want to pay for science and exploration - maybe we can get them as spin-offs from consumerism.

As for "polluting the night sky" Do you know how much junk and trash is already up there? you can't see that can you? would it really "pollute" the sky.
