IIRC Ridley (or remarks attributed to him) hinted in the pre-production phase that an important element of the threat/dilemma of the characters concerned the time-dilatory effects of faster-then-light travel, something which pops up mildly in the (spurious?) 'Harvest' script but is absent from the finished film. Any thoughts? Is my memory playing tricks?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yea I reckon tehee you talked about looking into the night sky as a kid reminds me of one of my favorite poems... WHEN I heard the learn’d astronomer; When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me; When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them; When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars. walt whitman [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdcsunFQuA1qc26bqo8_1280.jpg[/img]
