These "nit-picks" pertain to the most recent episode of Seven Days involving Adam, the sole survivor of the Roswell
Incident.
My "nit-picks" are as numerically proceeds:
1) What made Bradley Talmadge and Dr. Isaac Mentnor decide to divulge information regarding the Roswell Incident to Lt.
Frank Parker? "Oh, there you are in the ventilation shaft. Since you dropped in, we ought to let you in on a little secret."
2) That nuclear power plant supervisor certainly notifies everyone in a rather calm manner that the reactor is heating up
again the first go around.
3) After the commercial break, you observe Dr. Isaac Mentnor picking up a card. In the sequential scene his hand is back
in his lap and the card he picked up appears to have already been arranged in his deck. Furthermore, John Ballard puts
down a pair of cards that is conspicuously picked up by Dr. Isaac Mentnor. By the way, what card game were they playing?
Neither one of them ever requested for any particular cards from the other.
4) Lt. Frank Parker almost immediately perspires when Adam awakens the second go around. Does the perspiratory glands
react that promptly?
5) Lt. Frank Parker remarks, "He spoke to me again," and Dr. Olga Vukavitch replies, "What?" First of all, why would Lt.
Frank Parker mention this if it is the Dr. Olga Vukavitch of the original time line to whom he initially indicated this
information? And secondly, how come the most current Dr. Olga Vukavitch replied as if this was announced to her earlier?
6) How is it that security surrounds Adam, yet Dr. Olga Vukavitch may peek her head in and she and Lt. Frank Parker may
consequently emancipate Adam without any resistance?
7) Who is Dr. Olga Vukavitch looking at after Lt. Frank Parker slaps Dr. John Ballard on his left cheek?
8) When did Dr. Olga Vukavitch have time to place on a lab coat prior to bringing some scraps of the 1-1-5 mineral to
Adam?
9) One would think they would have had Comdr. Craig Donovan substitute for Lt. Frank Parker after what Frank had done.
10) When the group visits Dr. John Ballard and discovers him modifying the sphere's components, keep your eyes on Lt.
Frank Parker and Dr. Olga Vukavitch before, during, and after Nate Ramsey approaches Bradley Talmadge. Dr. John Ballard
inquires, "Is there a problem, Sir?", and you can clearly see Lt. Frank Parker's right arm to his side. In the sequential
scene, however, it is up to his mouth. And as Bradley Talmadge surmises as to what Nate Ramsey's message is, Dr. Olga
Vukavitch's arm is noticeably away from her head but touching it in the following scene.
11) Where was that nuclear power plant supervisor's assistant the first go around and how come the supervisor had not
gone to investigate in the original time line?
12) Those Special Forces' involvement in the situation was unclear the first go around, yet they are ordered to do what they
were unclearly performing in the original time line by Bradley Talmadge the second go around. Would Bradley Talmadge
have not recognized his own order during the sequence of events in the original time line?
13) Great reenactment of Comdr. Spock's self-sacrificing scene in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn by Lt. Frank Parker.
14) How did those aliens conveniently know of Lt. Frank Parker's ailment? Accordingly, why would they care to aid such a
primitive species?

Does the perspiratory glands... = Do the perspiratory glands... Typo.
This show always has the quick fix at the end. Frank is just about dead and magicly they cure him. Rememner something similar happen in that one when the whole world was going to die from that virus. Frank was going to die from it but they magicly found a cure, but in the original timeline nobody could find one.
Is the name Adam an allusion to the The Outer Limits episode "I Robot," whose plot is slightly resemblant to that of this particular episode of Seven Days? The Outer Limits' "I Robot" aired initially and thus had the original notion.
Wasn't sure where to post this so I figured the last ep of season 1 would suffice: Does anyone know whatever happened to the episode "Act of God"? I saw mention of it on the net (something along the lines of "Frank quits the program after the Backstep team won't authorize his going back to save a downed airplane." Was this ep ever aired? If not why? I know there was another ep that was not aired, "For The Children," because it dealt with issues similar to the Colombine incident. But what about "Act of God"?

hmm...further to my last post (which, for reasons I'm not sure of, posted twice -
sorry!), I notice that this Board has an "Act of God" episode listed - but the discussion
is about an epsiode I THOUGHT was called "A Dish Best Served Cold." Was AOG an
alternate title for ADBSC? I remember ADBSC dealt with Frank having doubts about the
Backstep program- but I DON'T recall it dealing with a plane crash. Did it? If not, is
AOG a diff ep? I THINK there were only 20 aired eps. If you add in "For The Children",
you still only get 21, one less than the standard season (although there WAS a 2 hour
pilot..so maybe that makes 22??). Anyone know?
Act of God was what the official website called the episode that airs next week, with Freaky James lost int he South American jungle and mysterious voodoo tribal powers and all that. It begins with Frank having doubts about the program because of a plane crash. The official website gives very vague information for the episodes, so I mostly had to figure it out on my own.
Does anyone know of any plans to rerun the pilot? It's the only ep I haven't seen and I know I've blown my chance to see it twice (originally and the rerun).
(btw, I would have posted this on the Pilot board, but for some reasona it wouldn't allow it)
