re: BAD Astronomy
I give them two thumbs up, a snap, and a twist for knowing what a light year is. How many truly bad SF programs and films have I seen where the so-called writers think if they say "He came from a planet 3 BILLION miles away!" is supposed to somehow make me think that is really far in interstellar terms? And please, how many of those Hollywood types even know what an actual galaxy is? Thanks again, George Lucas.
So, in case you didn't notice, I am not bothered that it isn't a "real" star system. I care that a TV network even bothered to try and depict alien life plausibly.
