    I watched that last night....and even though I consider myself a fairly regular watcher of the show, I didn't know about the rocket car crash and resulting coma.:huh

    Same for me. I had seen most of the other bits they highlighted, but had no idea about that crash!

    I have heard bits about the show, but never actually watched an episode. That was the best 14 minutes I have ever spent in front of my computer :lol3

    You REALLY ought to watch the seasons... absolutely, bar none, the BEST "tv" program I have ever seen. I think Netflix has it (if you want to be 100% legal), otherwise you can torrent the episodes/seasons with help from:

    I'm not sure when exactly I got turned onto it, but it's probably been 7 years now. I've watched every episode at LEAST twice.

    The last few years I've driven/ridden down past that on the way to Las Cruces or El Paso/Big Bend, or SoCal, and wondered if they were doing any actual work or was it a 'statement'.

    At least the aliens will have close access to fresh Hatch chiles
