As a two professors began their tests on it, it would become apparent that this was a fast growing life, with the capability of overwhelming Earths population in a matter of weeks. But why exactly was it growing so fast? Well lets discuss that in todays episode!

    My dad got to be an extra in this one! He was originally supposed to be one of the governor's secret service but Dan Aykroyd brought his own guys. He ended up being one of the sheriffs during the big monster climax instead cause he already did service and wasn't impressed with getting to hold a gun as a military extra.

    I unironically love that movie. The original finale was going to have a creature that was passed the human stage of evolution. The Director felt like it was not epic enough for a finale. also this movie was originally designed to be a serious sci-fi thriller. that is why the science is so well thought out. good movie. Enjoyed it.

      @@vice.nor.virtue As a kid I was so inspired by the idea that I wanted more fight scenes with things like the alien apes. I spent $30 at Barnes & Noble to buy alien versus predator in an attempt to scratch that itch. absolutely loved that movie too but for a completely different reason.
      I feel like a lot of people are dismissive of evolution because it is a comedy. I have heard them call the finale stupid many times. I think that is because they are braced for it to be stupid. It is absurd but it is not stupid. I feel like if it had been treating itself more seriously then the audience would treat it more seriously. probably would’ve done better as a movie in the box office. I wouldn’t of liked it as much though

      The oldest known life on earth is cyanobacteria. Basically single-celled organisms that developed the ability to photosynthesize via chloroplasts.
      These things formed huge algae mats that were the dominant form of life on earth for... Basically 2 billion years or so from when they evolved in the Archean until the Precambrian.
      We know about them because they built up in layers and just kept going, generation after generation.
      There are places you can find these colonies today as fossilized bulb-looking things called Stromatolites.

    @ Roenoke Gaming. Biomedical scientist here so I have a fairly limited genomics knowledge but, if the organism has ten base pairs as you say at the start of the video rather than the usual 4, this would surely increase the chances of mutations almost exponentially? Also, the other cellular and molecular differences in an organism with ten base pairs in its DNA would be interesting to say the least. I'm not a proteomics expert but the protein possibilities, and ergo intracellular pathways etc, would be worth an entire video itself. Awesome video as always by the way! I admire the way you dissect what is going on in classics like this with so much grounded scientific analysis. Kudos.

Their technology can legitimately be fixed by hitting it a few times because everyone knows that's what you do to fix an engine. Actually, most of their tech shouldn't mechanically work in the first place but does because they believe "yeah, it's got lots of gauges and tubes and technical things, that's legit!". I've heard they can achieve a type of cloaking by wearing purple because "Well have you ever SEEN an Ork wearing purple?! EXACTLY!

    Also, side note, these things in the TV show developed an immunity too- . . shoot, forgot the name of the chemical in Head-N-Shoulders, um, that chemical and like any other 1990s-early 2000s cartoons, the crew had too kill these things with lasers and such.
