I had been watching LoM before the hiatus and gave up on it, but watched the finale after hearing about its, um, uniqueness.
- It only takes 4-6 months to get to Mars, not the two years claimed, unless you were foolish enough to start the journey when Earth was on the opposite side of the Sun
- No preliminary plans for manned Mars missions involve putting the crew in stasis. Even assuming we have the technology to put people in stasis by 2035, it would likely be far more expensive and inefficient than providing a waking crew with a suitable environment.
- You couldn't carry out a real-time conversation with Earth; light takes 10-20 minutes to travel between the two planets
- I doubt we'll have come up with artificial gravity by then. The only way to simulate gravity would be to spin the ship, and it didn't look like it was spinning.
- So they programmed the computer to make him a cop in 2008. The computer malfunctions, putting him in 1973. Why would it know what 1973 is like? That's like saying you're playing Guitar Hero and the game malfunctions and suddenly you're playing Pong.
