The pencil trick was done on the bridge of the Leonov, *not* on the Discovery. The bridge is in the zero-gee section of the ship (I hope you noticed the rotating part of the Leonov? Good...that's where the medical bay, the wardroom, etc. were located. The bridge and the pod bay were in the non-rotating areas). As to how people can walk around in zero-gee, remember that they did it in 2001 (the pod bay, the accessways, etc.) -- and if you looked a bit closer, you'd notice that everyone on the Leonov wore what looked like strap-on booties over their shoes, probably used to provide attraction to the deck plates in the zero-gee areas. *Sheesh!* It's not that I *loved* 2010 (I also felt it lacked in plot and characterization) -- but I'm so tired of people attacking the continuity without paying attention. (I'm normally not this antagonistic, really. Blame it on my sinuses...) B.K.Cobb ihnp4!ihuxi!okie "My God, it's full of critics!"
