story identification - A TV show about Space Station


I watched a TV show about space station back when between 1995 to 2005 (Sorry I can't remember the exact time).


The episodes that I remember:



  • A guy created a fruit which was a mix between coconut and avocado.

  • A space shuttle was leaving the space station and suddenly crashed in the space station and killed all people on space shuttle.

  • There was mysterious black pyramid they found in a space ship or something.

  • They found a rock from another planet which was melting the space station because the main material created the space station was sensitive with the rock.

  • They had to deal with a specimen of smallpox they carried from the Earth to the space station for studying and it broke out.

  • The space station was on fire or something, they had to evacuate all and one guy left behind his robots which looked like Wall-E.



Anyone who knows the name of this TV show, please let me know. The TV show may not be American because back then in my country they were broadcasting a lot of shows from Australia and Canada.



Answer



This is almost certainly Space Island One.



  • The coconut-avocado hybrid (developed by Lyle Campbell) was in Season 2, Episode 2 "Split Allegiances". (I think this is sufficiently unusual to confirm the identification.)

  • In Season 2, Episode 5, "Lost Property", the shuttle Raven crashed into the station after passing by (it had one more satellite to handle before returning to Earth, but had not docked with the station); an educational toy wreaks havoc.

  • In Season 1, Episode 7, "The Barrier of Second Attention", a black pyramid (with orange and black lower section with cuneiform-like writing on it) with a base approximately one meter by one meter moves into the station mysteriously and hovers in the simulated gravity. The pyramid left behind a figurine/urn with ashes in it. Some of the writing translated to "Greetings from great voyager Noah. At last his earthly ashes can be received among the stars."

  • In Season 1, Episode 3, "Quarantine", a Mars lander returned and the station scientists were given permission for first examination of the samples. One rock sample contained a microbe which ate acrylics--"half the station is made of acrylics" (presumably hyperbole as one might expect from the situation).

  • In Season 2, Episode 7, "Not in My Back Yard", a smallpox specimen is taken to the station and it is feared that the smallpox virus was released after crew members begin to display smallpox-like symptoms.



I cannot yet identify that last described episode (it might have been the last episode of the series), but it is consistent with the show in general. There were two 30-year-old service drones--"rones", customized by Lyle Campbell to improve their intelligence--that looked somewhat similar to Wall-E.


(Thanks @Tacroy for the link to the episode list with brief descriptions.)

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
