So, studying for astronomy final (at noon, kill me now), and I had a thought:

All semester, I've been amusing myself by picking apart episodes of my various sci-fi shows with my new knowledge of astronomy (yes, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing), and I'm debating writing up a post (or series of posts) about what they did wrong. I'd start, with black holes, and then maybe go on from there, but the issue is this: would anyone actually be interested?

I'd mostly be bashing Stargate and Atlantis, but there's definitely an episode of (new) Doctor Who that I'd take a crack at.

So, 'gaters, interested?

Interested, as long as it's not just Stargate.

I adore SG-1 nitpicking, you know. I think this is a great idea and I'm sure there are other gaters who would be interested. Isn't there a science_beta comm or something? This is the kind of info they'd love (if that exists and I didn't just make it up).

Firefly doesn't use much sci-fi spacey elements, so that probably wouldn't be a good victim, but Doctor Who could totally suffer your knowledgeable wrath. I'm having trouble coming up with other sci-fi shows, though.
