With all the wacky technology at the Ancients' disposal, why wouldn't they use some sort of geothermal source to power the city? This whole running-out-of-power thing just seems silly.
Actually having the ancients run off by a group who's ships can be taken down by human portable weapons seems pretty silly to me. Also my subconcious refuses to admit that they looked human, it insists that they were insectiod a-la A Human Reaction....
Haven't seen anybody mention it here yet, but MILLENIUM (the Chris Carter series) is finally getting DVD release (first season, at least).
I'll be very happy when the (I think) second season comes out, and we get the Selfosophy episode (featuring the demise of Jose Chung).
Millenium was damned creepy at times.
There was something so ominous in the "There are x many days until the Millennium," that I always enjoyed.
Heh. I was in college when Millennium came out, and the group I watched XF with had seen so many commercials for it by the time it finally premiered that for months afterwards we could send each other into giggles just by proclaiming "THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE OVER!" with a stabbing motion.
God, I can still see it seven years later. That's scary.

I was similarly brainwormed by the ads for
Southern Gothic:
"Someun's at de do'"
Gah! Had successfully fogotten damn earworming hick voice-over for the better part of a decade.
Too weird, I earwormed myself with that same phrase this weekend.
