I thought that the relationship between the son and the Dad at the beginning was pretty special. As the Dad stated, “…Son this really makes me proud.” Some father son relationships don’t have this same specialness. I thought the scene where they are telling him to abort was pretty interesting. The special effects were rather amazing. This also explains why he loses contact with the real world and the “Sci-Fi” portion of the episode. Once he did get into the other ship and I saw the blue character and the big hairy character, I was turned off. I like shows that could actually happen in real life or in the future. I still am not convinced that this would every happen.

The first thing that I noticed was that this started out on earth which is obviously different then STNG and the original star trek, but similar to Dollhouse and Buffy. I also noticed that they actually used a real life shuttle. I felt like the shuttle in STNG and the original star trek were more fiction then reality. I also thought that they fact that they still have contact with the real world as they are in space made more sense. I felt like the STNG and the original star trek they were basically out on their own with no contact to the real world. Some similarities, however, are the alien like figures that he encounters along the way. I thought that Dollhouse and Buffy were the best shows that we watched in the class and the others were rather painful to watch.
