I agree I was hoping for a tad more detail in the transition, but the starscape in both M3 and the edge of the universe was stunning.<br /><br />And as for the sweater, yep. You can make out every single crinkle in whatever hideous artificial fabric that thing was made out of. It was awesome and awful.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582237401541322274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-90702621281064425942012-07-25T16:22:09.056-05:002012-07-25T16:22:09.056-05:00HD highlights from the Blu-Ray:

Lack of compositing degradation during the Traveler's phasing<br /><br />Lowlights:<br />1. I was hoping that the thoughtspace would be more detailed, but apparently the original effect was somewhat fuzzy<br /><br />Also, in response to GP: Cepheid variables are how we compute the distance of galaxies, since they all have the same brightness. Without them, we'd have little idea based on relative galactic brightness and size how far the galaxies are (and thus, how big the universe is)matthewweflenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540521459703556959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-9885103555461286922010-11-19T14:27:25.313-06:002010-11-19T14:27:25.313-06:00First let me say KUDOS for the photo and relevant ...First let me say KUDOS for the photo and relevant comment! LMAO<br /><br />Second, I'm really enjoying taking in your observations about these episodes. I think it works well particularly due to Matt's devotion to intimate detail combined with Kevin's ability to put that detail into eloquent perspective.<br /><br />I agree that this is the first episode that I couldn't just walk away from the show for. Had the prior episodes been my first contact with TNG I may not have made it this far.<br /><br />I, too, am irritated by the inconsistencies in velocities/timelines cited throughout the shows. But as far as establishing being a BILLION light years away, you wouldn't use standard celestial navigation. Considering that the Andromeda Galaxy is only 2.5 million light years away, you would have to triangulate (though prolly only approximately) using positions of galaxies, not individual stars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
