Eleventh Hour

[Jenova Synthesis]

But so far I must admit I don't know what it is about Hood that holds me more. I do find I like Rachel more than the female characters of the other two shows.

Cuz she ran through a hallway half naked b/c Hood forgot to turn off his pager? XD Or maybe b/c she loves sweets


May I throw in ReGenesis as one of the first shows that dealt with (real) scientific problems?

One of the things I like best is that its actually science stuff that I understand, I find myself finishing the sentences.

Seen all 5 eps. Quite enjoying this show. Realistic events + explanations. Like the Dr Hood character/Rufus Sewell.

I'd say that it is better than Fringe, which is a similar new show.

Really enjoying Eleventh Hour so far. We've currently only seen 2 of the 4 original UK series episodes remade (The cloning and smallpox episodes) - I'd like to see the other two remade as well, they were good stories (They were about global warming and heavy water, respectively.)

I think Patrick Stewart was a better Jacob Hood than Rufus Sewell. Shame they didn't get him back for the US version. On the other hand, Marley Shelton's portrayal of Rachael Young is miles better than that of Ashley Jensen - she didn't really fit the role IMO.

Hopefully it wont be long before we get to know more about the Gepetto arc (assuming they even intend to go back to that.) The show might grow a bit tedious without at least some over arcing plot.

technically Patrick Stewart was "Ian Hood" not Jacob

When the smallpox one first began I thouht wow, indians + blankets + undisturbed burial chamber = perfect place to get infected with smallpox ( thats how the british defeated them) but I guess it was somthing else, had to go some where so I didn't get to see the end of it.

Lol. Good point that.

Small pox wouldn't survive that long. It needs tissue. An infection has to be pretty serious, or lets say the virus has to stay in a body for a long period of time before you could find traces of it in the bones. With small pox you don't live that long. Plus, there is no more small pox that is naturally occuring, a few labs still have it (for research) though.

I really liked this week's episode. Interesting topic.

Still, for me Fringe is the better show. I can't tell you why, I just enjoy it more than 11th Hour.

Has nobody ever seen ReGenesis? That was a brilliant show about scientific problems! And definitely closer to reality than 11th Hour or Fringe.

, is Ian not a very american name or something?

A virus doesn't exactly need tissue all it needs is organic matter but that will only keep the organism alive for so long, And it could stay alive on a abiotic surface for a even shorter time. And the rest of the information you restated is pretty basic.

But like I stated it was my intial thought, and since the organism is hurt by sunlight and air you can see why i came to that conclusion within 30 seconds of it starting.

That's all true, my point was that the virus didn't have any of that in that closed cave and therefor couldn't not have survived all these years.
