On Christmas Day my sister unexpectedly and tragically lost her partner and… Ian Holmes needs your support for RIP Matt Dale - Partner, Fat
Way back in the day, I posted the Kickstarter for the book Beyond the Mirror Image. Now I have to post another, sadder, fundraising page.
Matt Dale (who wrote Beyond the Mirror Image, and has said he's taken some things from this blog for his book as well- went both ways there) recently passed away and his brother-in-law is now raising some money for funeral expenses.
What do you think Janice is trying to warm Ben about?
That's a good question. Given that Deborah Pratt hinted in her AMA about the evil leapers being used again, I think it has something to do with that. Or with Leaper X/Martinez.
#15: Darryl founding a veterans support group in the late 1970s would've happened at least three years after the earliest known one was founded in the United States.
Swords to Plowshares was founded in 1974 and started out in small local groups.
#14: Sister Angela's speech near the beginning of Right Hand of God evokes the chapel window Ben sees near the end of Somebody Up There Likes Ben.
#13: Ben leaping into a Japanese-American astronaut who nearly perishes in a space shuttle disaster is intended to evoke the memory of Ellison Onizuka, who was on the Challenger space shuttle.
#12: The shuttle Addison is talking about here is the Columbia. This disaster happened in February 2003.
Less than a minute after the shuttle launched, a piece of foam broke off of the external tank attached to the shuttle and hit some panels on Columbia's left wing. The damage wasn't noticed until the second day of the mission, and all members of the crew perished upon re-entry.
#11: According to NASA, space shuttle crews typically have between five and seven people. In Atlantis, just four people were shown for the crew.
"We needed to bend the rules just to make it a little more thrilling for the people at home."
This article interviews the showrunner, who goes into the history behind Atlantis and what the episode got wrong/changed for the sake of TV. They also talked to a former NASA space shuttle flight coordinator, Robert Yowell, who was the consultant for this episode.
#10: Space Shuttle Atlantis had no missions at all in 1998.
What was going on with the space program in March 1998? At that time, NASA was collaborating with the Russian space program. Russian cosmonauts and American astronauts would fly on the American space shuttle up to the Russian space station Mir. In January 1998, an American astronaut was flown up to Mir and returned that June.
So it's weird that Reynolds would complain about working with the Russians, especially since the Americans had already been working with them for over twenty years at that point.
#9: Susan Diol said in an interview the script mentioned she's working on Al's car in this scene.
#8. Al and Beth's house in MIA versus their house in Atlantis share a few similar features (like the double-pronged columns) but they aren't the same.
#7: Janis is said to be an astrophysicist and owns a house in Pasadena.
She probably bought it to be near work, since the Jet Propulsion Laboratory is in Pasadena, and one of their divisions involves astrophysics.
#6: It wasn't plausible for the Hope Diamond to be in Philadelphia at that time.
On November 10, 1958, the Hope Diamond was donated to the Smithsonian Institution. Ever since, the diamond has only left four times: 1962 (the Louvre in Paris), 1965 (Rand Easter Show in Johannesburg, South Africa), 1984 and 1996 (Harry Winston, Inc., in New York City).
But the Hope Diamond was actually stolen at least once in its history, when it left the possession of Louis XIV in 1792 and didn't show up again for another twenty years, possibly passing into the possession of George IV of the United Kingdom.
#5: We know Ben leaped in sometime between 9 and 10 AM EST on July 13, 1985.
How do we know that? The portable TV in the getaway van shows David Bowie performing at Live Aid, and his performance was at 2 PM Greenwich Mean Time, or 9 AM Eastern Standard Time in the US.
And with this, you can see that Ryan's watch is off:
#4: Like how the original used a fake exchange name (Oakdell) in a few episodes, the new show also gives Ben a non-functional number: (213) 145-2018.
I think by now we’ve all glumly accepted that a good portion of our entertainment diet is made up of reconstituted ideas. I’m not saying thi
#3: The manual shifter Ben uses shouldn't exist.
This article goes more into depth, but a basic summary follows. The van Ben is driving in is a 1983 Ford Econoline, and the gearshift on those kinds of vans looks more like this:
Meanwhile, in the actual episode itself, the gearshift looks like this:
