That time McKay chewed out some pop-sci figures

Well, at least he didn't blow up 3/5ths of a solar system, Rodney.
- I love how Weir says something like a quarter of a star system as she's chewing him out, and he corrects it to 3/5ths. A larger number.
  
  Weir: You destroyed three-quarters of a solar system! McKay: Five-sixths, but it's not an exact science.
  
  Your point still stands: he corrected her with a larger number.
- Read that in Shepard's voice.
  
  Jeannie Miller would probably hold that over Meredith's head even longer than Sheppard.
Interesting to see these two scenes side-by-side and notice the difference in coloring. The Tyson scene here is earlier in the episode, and has a warm color tone. Then there is the Nye scene which takes place after the building started freezing, and the color tone is much cooler.
- So one scene was shot in Mexico or something?
  
  The episode takes place in the middle of the desert somewhere, but I do not think they mentioned anything more specific than that.
- Kudos to the cinematographer for using color grading in a non-arbitrary way.
