Military SF specialist Ringo teams up with real-life rocket scientist Taylor for this far-out sequel to 2005's Into the Looking Glass. Much of the science deals with the arcane mysteries of quantum mechanics, lending the often grim events an absurdist twist appropriately reminiscent of Lewis Carroll. Several years after an experiment that opened a gateway from central Florida into other dimensions, Doc Weaver, a physicist turned U.S. naval officer, adapts an alien star drive to a nuclear submarine and creates humanity's first warp-capable star ship. The goal of Capt. Steven Blankemeier and Cmdr. Clay White of the Alliance Space Ship's unfortunately named Vorpal Blade is to scout out worlds contaminated by the alien Dreen. The awkward use of alien vocabulary to censor the predictably foul-mouthed marines only slightly hinders the shoot-'em-up action as the scientists and crew of the Blade blast through whatever adversity comes their way. (Sept.)

Warp capable nuclear subs? Sounds entertaining

Imagine what Star Trek would be like if Roddenberry had been a Marine. That's what Vorpal Blade is like.

The "alien vocabulary" is somewhat like what's done in Battlestar Galactica to allow the crew to cuss plainly.

A submarine is chosen for retrofit because it's already fairly atmosphere-tight and it's easy to sneak out into the middle of the ocean to launch undetected. (The reaction of the Russian attack sub trying to monitor the mysterious actions of the Americans is almost side-splitting.)

for those without a keen and 1337 eye like me: In the 2nd episode, when John goes to the (apple)store in the mall, as he leaves, the store address is 1337.... coincidence? i think not

Tonight's episode was pretty interesting, that massive equation on the board..it takes all that to make flesh..pretty crazy. Girl jumping off the building, the sound it made was pretty disturbing.

I think this past episode was very good. Next week will be a really good one.
