She doesn't even get Very Special Guest Star.

Nice episode though.

Ryan Robbins...
Where was the spoiler?

GarondoMarondo...
I spoiled the credits!

David Chesler...
Nice to see they still have the infinite-resolution
zoom-and-enhance mode.

Marc Dashevsky...
Yeah, I'd like to know how they resolve a 2-D barcode out
of one pixel of the image!

"Hey, we _ordered_ a regular security camera. Is it _our_
fault if they installed the Hubble Space Telescope instead?"

Lava...
LOL...Tricorder, Hubble Space Telescope. You guys are a hoot.


TSnCS...
Yep. You can't see a robbers face to save your life from a bank video yet

Russell Watson...
They have alluded in the past that Sam, as her mother's "special
friend" provided for them to some extent, but nothing major. For Sam
to have supported her as a young adult would have been basically the
same as him saying "I'm yer old man", which would blow the storyline
from a few seasons back where she found out. They need to be careful
in how they write eps to not screw up the back stories they created
for the characters in its early days.

'97 FLSTF

you can read a 2D barcode from 50 paces.....


Dave...
Of all the instant science they do on the series, they really ought to
ditch those impossible video zooms. Refining a barcode from a few vertical
lines is unlikely enough (even with an HDTV camera), but when they zoomed
that Nevada license plate, all the unique graphics were intact, not just
the characters.

Resampling numbers and letters from sparse pixels makes sense in SOME
cases, but a computer wouldn't know how to create non-coded mountain
graphics from such limited detail. It's obvious that they're taking a
pristine image and applying a "pixelize" algorithm. The after is really the
before. This stuff misrepresents science and keeps people ignorant.
