Finished watching Contact! Together with the rest of the class. In Philosophy. The show was rather good, just that it doesn't make the unbelievable seem believable the way Unbreakable does. And there are a whole load of religion-vs.-science issues.
The middle part was a bit HUH? though, the part where she got sucked into this weird spasm-like wormhole rollercoastery thingy and appeared on this place which was supposed to be Vega or somewhere in outer space. Just that it looked exactly like the beach where the survivors were marooned at in Lost, except take away the bright blue sky and add this intense (quoted from Jaime) purple sky with weird stars and lights. That part was really fake though; sort of spoilt the seriousness of the entire show.
Lucky for me and the rest of the class there was a good ending, though its extremely extremely hard to believe that someone who just went to outer space and back would react like that. I expected her to come back in this mentally derranged form with crazy hair and speaking gibberish. She would be in that state if she had just been shocked by what she saw in space what. Ok maybe I would.
