Like the decapitation scene in one of the episodes in S1? The  
effect was interesting - but the character's reactions were  
"meh" like they've seen it many times.

I'll never forget how sick I felt when I went to see The Omen in  
a theatre back in the 70s and saw the decapitation scene.

  ..Which seems to be how things may indeed end up in reality.

Yes.. I didn't see many scifi-ish new gizmos. The protomolecule  
thing just kind of reminded me what could happend when people  
eat too much sugar.  :D

I missed the "why" in S1 if it was mentioned. All I know is that  
the missile, that was seemingly approaching the shuttle ship,  
just zoomed passed them and went to the Cant.

I am also confused about WHO where the people that boarded the  
Scopuli (where Julie was hiding). Did the biohazard consume the  
invaders?  Did the invaders know about the biohazard?

On SyFy was it just one episode per week or something like that?

The horror!
