   Nit the first: Cochrane wasn't from Earth (First Contact got it wrong).     
   How interesting is life in the 21st Century on Alpha Centuri to the    
   average viewer?

   Nit the second:  We don't know tht Cochrane was a scientist (First    
   Contact got it wrong).  He's described as "the discoverer of the space    
   warp" - discoverer, not inventor.  He could have been an average guy on    
   Alpha Centuri that tripped and fell into a space pit full of space    
   warpiness; just another face in a red jump suit.

   Stargate Universe SGU:  It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!   
   It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,   
   fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.   
   Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!
