Quotes

(Fenway exposes an idea for making a vaccine against alien infection)
Fenway: Having said all this, let’s not forget alien medical research is only 14 days old, I can’t even begin to calculate the risks.
(edit)
(Lucas and Ramsey hack a database in search for information)
Ramsey: Want a little marital advice? Use this equation my friend: total access equals peace of mind. (edit)
Ramsey: We found a fragment of the signal on the DJ’s hard drive, a few seconds worth, stashed in the music library, someone turned it into an MP3 file, mixed it in with the dance beats.
Molly: Do you think she was deliberately trying to infect people?
Ramsey: Or maybe she just thought the signal sounded cool.
(edit)
Fenway: Party-goers who reacted violently all tested positive for MDMA, in other words: Ecstacy.
Cavennaugh: Well, apparently the... ehh... signal and drugs don't mix. (edit)
Molly: (about the alien signal being played at a party) If these people are infected, then Miami just got a whole lot more dangerous. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Text message with the alien signal was sent out at 9:53 pm, Miami time. (edit)
Ramsey makes a reference to malware—unwanted, intrusive, deleterious (malicious) software—but pronounces it "mallware". (edit)

Unfortunately Consistency can kill any good plot. And with this one it felt too silly. If that happenned, it would've have happened in the pilot episodes.

"Silly"
A real downer, sigh... I originally started to watch this show due to the pause of Battlestar Galactica and the Stargate shows. As a supplement it was kinda interesting, but could it really fix my needs?
