   I can see that.  As I see it, he was fairly bitter about it for a   
   while but worked through it on his blog.  I've done that myself a few   
   times.  Of course, since I'm not & never will be famous, nobdoy reads   
   my blog!

   The episode was totally lame in that regard.  However, I was referring   
   more to Wheaton's allegations he was pointed toward the door & given a   
   good firm shove.

   Again ... I agree.  Generally speaking, the more "hard" science rules   
   one breaks the less credible the sci-fi.  I know it has been said   
   better than that but there it is.

   Err ... I disagree!
