Opinions[edit]

It looks like crap. I do wish Discovery would quit doing crap like this, and like the Pompeii thing and the Yellowstone Volcano thing. All so terrible. 70.64.104.35 23:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose is to show what problems Human's currently face to arrive on Mars, it looks alright. --Elven6 02:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget the terrible "Alien Planet". 24.84.6.197 06:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I rather enjoyed it, actually. Alx xlA —Preceding comment was added at 02:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not that bad really. I know what you mean, about some discovery stuff being over dramatized (like "Life after people", that was TERRIBLE), but this one was good. Each episode seemed interesting and had a few twists. I suggest watching it. I spent a day watching a marathon they just ran.69.196.152.151 (talk) 03:03, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia Section[edit]

I thought I saw a graphics card there! Good work on confirming that fact. RoseTech 19:24, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really confirmed. Three of us thought we saw a graphics card, and some IP editor thinks it's a BFG. Not really compatible with WP policies (WP:OR, WP:V) there, we should probably delete it. Meh. < eleland // talkedits > 19:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i think i just saw it too, i have a bfg geforce 6200 pci oc and it looks exactly like that, gonna check youtube for vids to confirm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.83.91.19 (talk) 18:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mars Rising[edit]

Can someone create a stub for the documentary series? 132.205.44.5 02:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We need sources independent of the subject, then we can make an article. <eleland/talkedits> 18:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
