What DID bother me about all those pretty colored banks of color-coded switches (stolen from organ consoles?): In *every* scene they are ALL IN THE SAME POSITION -- all off or all on. Would have been much more real, and added to the visual texture, if the switches had shown random on/off settings. Likewise the lites. I guess the sets were made with all those rocker switches cast from one solid piece of plastic, so they ccouldn't be set differently. mike k PS: I liked the exposed cables overhead; felt like a submarine, and quite in keeping with CLarke's description of a cramped, functional Leonov. PPS: Did you notice Alexi's pod was named "Grampy"?
