What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

When will the US get new episodes? I think I heard that it won't be until the fall.

I watched it with my 11 year old and he asked me why the lights stayed on and why there was earth gravity on the moon, he wasn't impressed when I told him that it was only a film, so young to be a cynic

11 years old and that picky about details in a campy British SF TV show? Wow!

Funny, I questioned the power thing myself, but the gravity part slipped past me.

It was all because of the force field, I'm sure. Force fields can do anything when you suspend your disbelief. ;-)

Bright 11 year old... hope he isn't too cynical yet... there's so much more to be cynical about in this world than a campy sci-fi show. :-)
