I actually thought that the string theory special was repetitive to the point of frustration.  I understand that string theory is something that few physicists even understand, not to mention the public in general, and that there's not even any feasible way at this point to prove or disprove it, but that doesn't mean that the special had to use twenty or thirty analogies in a row to explain a single concept.  I felt like yelling, "Great, you've shown us this ten times, now move on and get a little more in-depth!"

I wonder why they had to make up a star system - they could have just used Alpha Centauri.

LOL Well, I haven't seen the show yet, but I just hope we are all still around this is proved one way or another. My own theory is that, since most things must start from below the single-cell level (there was even an entire stage of evolution that started, faltered and died out, Enchelons or something), we might be in for a bit of a surprise on how similar life on other planets may be in many ways, but then, I'm not a Xenobiologist or the like, it's more a gut feeling. I've never denied the possibility I could be wrong

Still, the whole point of theories is for future generations to grab them and stretch them to breaking point and we won't know till we go take a look
