Stardust was great fun, but one thing: you know when the falling star's entering the atmosphere, and it's all crash-zoom and shaky-cam? I was half expecting to see a chute mortar fire, a heat shield drop away, and, and Yvaine to drop away from the backshell with that funky flying crane thing NASA's using to land the Mars Science Laboratory.
