  1. While I'd like to see Coolman finally get his, I think Her should win of these choices.
  2. Star Trek 1 as in Jerry's Star Trek? Because I definitely disagree there.
  3. I never had an issue with Wallin until he started doing Giacchino's stuff.
  4. Horner's early scores are really plagued by bad production values.
  5. Not balanced out for you by Spock's theme?
  6. I discovered this place as a single-celled organism some time around the extinction of the dinosaurs.
  7. Don't fear the off-topic! This can be a Sagan general thread too.
  8. And it's what introduced me to Hovhaness!
  9. Damn it, now I have to abandon this account for a new one to restore my mystique and sense of privacy!
  10. I'm actually not sure if it was done specifically for the show, or taken from existing Vangelis albums, or some combination.
  11. Yes, Vangelis and Carl's classical selections were enchanting. We'll see where this goes.
  12. Yes to Zero Dark Thirty's opening, and don't forget The Painted Veil.
  13. Well one AU is traversed by light over 8.3 minutes. So, there being, usually, 525,600 minutes in a year, that's 63,325 AU's in a year, dividing an approximate 2,000,000 by that, we get 31.5 which, keeping our rounding consistent, is 32. As for why it's the funniest number....
  14. Yes. Just count yourself lucky I didn't have the motivation to turn it into a calculus or linear algebra equation.
  15. In my lifetime, a photon of light could have travelled approximately 2 million AU's.
