Poor Ziggy Stardust is about to learn the meaning of the Earth term "friend zone".

How did they manage to drag Erin Gray into this show ?  None other than Col. Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

The creature animation was pretty bad -- at points you can actually see how they rewound and then forwarded the video to make the creatures look like they were moving.

So was that alien spaceship parked above the planet for the past 140+ years ?  Or had it just returned recently after the New Portland discovery ?  That piece of info kind of needed to be explained.

How was Marcus and his old pal Wilson ...... err, Elliott .... able to survive and not get killed for such a long time ?  And he managed to have the only working -- and surprisingly clean -- truck on the planet.  I would think that would have drawn in the creatures.  And where did he get fuel for his truck ?  And how was his original uniform still intact after 140+ years ?  Plus, why was Marcus so well groomed ?  

What does the cave drawing with the alien holding the baby over it's head mean ?  And why didn't Jax tell anyone about the cave drawing ?

I thought for sure after Marcus volunteered to stay and draw off the enemy fire that we were going to find out he was working for the aliens -- but, alas, that was not to be.

So Xander and Professor-Uncle already knew about the Zatarian fleet that they had been 'tracking' -- so why did Xander press Ralen so hard for info ?  Was it just for show ?

Seeing Atria in a normal uniform on the ship was a nice change of pace, since she always dresses like a teenager.

And the World Wide Web saves the day -- what the hell was point of mentioning that supposed to contribute to the story ?

Why wasn't Atria more freaked out when Thomas seemed to disappear from the bar ?

Thomas up and pulls a Greta Garbo to end the episode -- he just wants to be left alone, as he drifts into space with slowly lowering oxygen levels.

I was sure they were going to grab some of those blue flowers, who doesn't want to live forever.
