[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="45" id="2462964"]Is reaction possible without action? Chemical reactions can be spontaneous, requiring no input... your example is a bad one because you see only one definition of reaction, these who mean "response to another event"...[/quote] The term "spontaneous" in chemistry doesn't mean "on the spur of the moment without reason", such as someone all of a sudden saying, "I want to go to Alaska for winter!".

[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="36" id="2462294"]And your sources for this 'information' are, what?[/quote] Probability. What are the odds that the same formation of deoxyribonucleic acid would be formed anywhere else? Another formation that does not have the same general structure perhaps, but DNA, in the particular form on our planet is far from being a molecule which is predestined to occur, much less in multiple locations independently.

I'm guessing they want a new home and intend to replace us.[/quote] Possibly, an army of disposible soldiers to fight their other enemy. In the movie V, they were going to take our water (or as much as they could carry on the ships), use some of us for food and some of us for soldiers.

Hm, although this was basically the "drama" episode, it made perfect sense. The title is life, literally hinting that the episode is about life. They used country music, infamous for its retardedly depressing lyrics about how fucked some random guy's life is, and everyone is having a REALLY bad f

I just watched the movie Wing Commander, it would be neat to have a mod based on it.
Ya know, this episode, "Life" actually did suck. It's not just drama, this episode stank.

I used to have the 1983 movie V on VHS once, it seems to have disappeared. Oh well, the movie was good. So far, with the lack of sex scenes, it is better than SGU in that respect. It's probably the best series made currently. Can't say that for certain, though, because I only have the internet and broadcast for watching TV on, and cable usually has more to offer.

Recently, I've been playing a Dreamcast game called StarLancer. It's fairly cool. You get to be a fighter pilot in space basically. Has anyone played this game before?
