In The Beta Cloud I saw at least three instances where the travel tubes had
double doors.

They all have "double" doors, but what we are missing are the 2 sets of
double doors that butt up against one another.  One set for the tube, one
for the embarkation point.  Without them, the tube isn't closed.  Same shit
for the eagle.  If the CM detaches the rest of the eagle is exposed to
vacuum in series 2.

Hi all!

    I have to check this out again, but I may have
jumped the gun here and blamed Year 2 when it
was Year One that lacked the inner doors for the Travel Tubes. Compare
the Travel Tube to an elevator and you see that there is a set of
doors on the outside and a separate set of doors on the inside. Since
I was watching the Columbia House tapes with their back-to-back
different season episodes, I may have remembered incorrectly that Year
One had the inner safety doors and Year Two did not. It may be that
Year Two had the inner safety doors and Year One did not...or at
least, they did not show them closing with the outer doors like they
did in Year Two.

   Whew! OK, here's a REAL stupid thing from Year Two that Year One
did NOT have at all...where did Helena get the little medical device
that miraculously examines patients ala Star Trek??? Find it floating
in space from a blown up Federation starship??? I think not! That was
a stupid idea in Year Two (since it was not around in Year One)...and
it was probably a Freddie idea...

Even more interesting is where did she get that hypo that she used in
Year One?  You know, the one that dispenses medicine via a dot of light
and with no observable moving parts save a switch.  It seems even more
advanced than Dr. McCoy's "air hiss" hypo!  :-)
