Oh my god, it's full of stars!

Because as soon as a certain level of intelligence is reached . . . the eat them

Nope. There are no 'bezerker' machines swarming the Milky Way Galaxy. Yet.

Even at well below sublight speed, an intelligence can colonise the galaxy in 50 million years in person or by machines.

The galaxy is roughly 12 - 13BY old. Our system, 4.9BY. So there's plenty of time for it to have happened. Many times. But it hasnt.

Intelligence isnt a given from the evolution of microbial life. It will be so rare that the chances of two intelligences co existing at the same time will be very rare.

Was this quote in the film? I remember it in the book, but not the film.

2001. A space odyssey.

Its in the book. Not sure about the film.

It might be full of stars but, there's no one else intelligent living around them. Not in thia galaxy at least.

How does one pronounce Keir Dullea?

[BolshieBastard]

That thing on BBC2 on Saturday evening about Science Fiction.

Rather enjoyed that.

Especially the chest burster bit.

And on the Red Button afterwards there were interviews with various stars from said Science Fiction epics.

Funniest was Rutger Hauer criticising the performance of his co-star.

Namely the dove.

And of course, The Wig Wearing War Criminal was on there too.

And it transpires I've been pronouncing Keir Dullea's name wrong all these years. .

For the benefit of dear old Freako: this describes a televisual documentary in 4 parts concerning Science Fiction, the first part of which screened on a channel of The British Broadcasting Corporation channel on Saturday evening.
