Just a few questions......

The only one I can partially answer is the smokestacks. IIRC in the books Clemens has the ship made with fake smokestacks and the ability to belch smoke as a vanity element despite the fact that the ship is batacitor powered and doesn't actually produce any smoke.


"Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything."

Regardless of any individual POV & her ability to satisfy it - Jeananne Goossen, who portrayed Tomoe, is in fact half-Asian & her father a professor of Japanese Literature.

Other obvious questions I had were about the engineering required to build River Boat or a Zeppelin. Also, the rope from the Zeppelin was made from a manufactured steel or aluminum. Where did they refine the metals? Where did manufacture everything that goes into building both of these ships? Howe about the swords? Where did they come from? Oh yes, and the guns... Where did the gun powder come from and the manufacturing necessary to create precise munitions.

How about the aliens that destroyed earth? Was the blue people the aliens that destroyed earth, or someone else? Were all humans taken to River World or only those who could make a difference? The Blue people seemed to have access to dead people for over hundreds of years, but we didn't see any Romans or Greeks.

I didn't mind the mix of actors. My favorite was also the Samurai chick (Jeananne Goossen). Matthew should have taken her and told her that Jessie was in the past and she was his future.

Even though I loved the show, I wanted more. I also wanted more questions answered. All of my above questiosn could have explainable answers, but during the mini series they didn't take the time to answer them. It would probably require a series to answer most of the questions, but this mini series was not enough.

If there was a series, I would have watched it.

Simple. It's a movie. A "SyFy" movie. Written by hacks who never published a line. It is what it is . . . Television in it's normal state--inane and clueless.

Nuclear reactors convert water to steam that moves a turbine, drive past any nuclear power plant and steam comes out of the cooling towers.X

TNT! Its time to return Joebob Briggs & Monstervision to the air.

Those were the ONLY holes you could find? I had to park my brain in neutral while watching this. It was mindless fun, but nothing to get serious about. I kept wanting to see a lot more of the "Japanese chick."
