However; it stars LYNN COLLINS!
Therefore; I will watch it.
Sorry, Fly, not her. Dr. Scott is played by Rhona Mitra. Looks a bit like her, even got a British accent, but... not.
Dunno about you, but every time somebody says "Doctor Scott" I can't help but hear that scene from Rocky Horror:
"Brad!"
"Janet!"
"Rocky!"
"Doctor Scott!"
etc, etc....
And they had another groaner in episode 5. Commander Chandler says something to the effect of "light 'em up with the .50 cal" but their boat does NOT have a .50. They don't show a good close shot, but the bow-mounted machine gun is clearly a .30 caliber; I think it's an MG-240. Definitely not a Browning M-2, anyway. What makes it even worse is that earlier shots have showed real M-2's mounted on the ship.
Caught a groaner in "Manhattan". Young scientist tells older scientist "You're the dinosaur and you're afraid I'm the meteor that's gonna wipe you out". Aaaarrrgh. The Caribbean Impact Theory was first proposed in the early 1970's and didn't start to gain acceptance until the 80's. How could some rude prick use it as an insult in 1942?
