[edit] Premiere Dates Added
I added a column for premiere dates over the past day. The dates at the Discovery.com website and epguides.com are consistent for Season 4. Dates at epguids.com for Seasons 1 and 5 look ok also. There are a number of doubtful dates for Seasons 2 and 3. These are all marked with (?). If there is a date before the (?), a typo has been corrected, but we have no other documentation.
[edit] Big Dig done?
The Big Dig article sounds like that project is completed rather under construction. --Abdull 18:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- The project is complete, but as the column head says "Status at the time of series production", it was under construction when the series was filmed. Fosnez 18:54, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I have added a column to that table for 'Current Status' of the projects but I could use some help filling it out. - Siddharth Prabhu 07:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Subways in America" is WRONG
The project displayed in "Subways in America" is NOT a project of MTA New York City Transit and has little to do with the city subway. The project is East Side Access, a plan to bring a sister MTA operation, The Long Island Railroad into a new terminal under Grand Central Terminal. It's only connection to the subway is that it will use the lower level of the 63rd street tunnel. Also, construction has already begun, and in a few places it's finished, on various parts of the project.
[edit] Inside jokes
In the pilot, the drifting/out-of-control ship is named "Weylan Yutani." Presumably, the person who programmed the vessel is a fan of the Aliens movies... dafydd (talk) 00:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Name Change?
My thought is that maybe this article should be retitled "Build It Bigger". I realize that this article is read both by British and Americans. The show in America is called Build It Bigger, but in the UK it is Extreme Engineering. I realize that we shouldn't be completely selfish and say because we're Americans it should be our name. However the show is filmed with an American host and as far as I know Discovery started as an American TV Network. So my thinking is that this should be changed to Build It Bigger and redirected from Extreme Enginnereing. Any other thoughts? (RC43 (talk) 21:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC))
