I'm getting a very Firefly-esque vibe from this, is that intentional?

I want to.

I liked this commentary. Just one very minor correction: The root of Sirius is not dog, it actually comes from the ancient Greek word for scorcher, due to it being the brightest star in the night sky and when it appears in the sky in relation to summer. It's called the Dog Star because of its prominence in the constellation Canis Major (Latin for greater dog).

maul2 is right, this all feels very fridgey to me. I think we have to start at the premise and work from there.

Why? Planes don't normally do that, so why did it happen to this flight?

Anything that could be described as a flu virus carton would not be on a commercial flight. And smuggling it on would be ridiculous given how tight airport security is these days. It would be far easier and safer to smuggle it other ways, and no sane drug lord would smuggle it by air without very good reason. So, why is it there? And furthermore, as maul2 brought up, why is it keeping the plane from landing?

We need to answer those questions or make some changes before we can move further.

I can has ESB?

I would love to see you guys take on some Disney classics, like Lion King or Aladdin.

It does that because it was the easiest way to prevent it from breaking when side by side on the front page but still let it scale. Since that is no longer necessary, it could be changed, but I kinda like the look.

You guys should do Kill Bill.

I request, no, DEMAND, you do The Pirates of Penzance.

What's always bugged me far more then the medichlorians in the scene where their introduced is that Qui-Gon plugs the blood sample into his comlink to send to Obi-Wan for analysis. Do they have the ability to quickly and easily teleport matter in Star Wars? If so, why aren't they using it on a larger scale?
