Bear in mind that I saved this and then walked away from my computer for two weeks, so my initial reaction is a bit faded. Here goes: 1.07 (the shot of Grodin near the controls), 2.16 (the woman being helped with her vest), somewhere during the cuts between the Athosians and the bomb ca. 2.26-34, and now that I rewatch, probably 3.00, too.
And, to be truthful, about five restarts of the first 20 seconds just to watch the lights come on, because that was wicked cool and sometimes (often) I am a dork.
It looks as though I jumped transitions by a few seconds every time; I think these must have been the moments when I was getting too worried about the characters to sit still for a resolution. It interests me, though, that they're all shots of civilians; I remember being upset at 2.16 that a scientist had to be fumbling for a holster at all. Possibly these were the times when I felt that the expedition was furthest beyond what it could have been expected to do? Or perhaps I can't handle dramatic tension. You choose.
That was probably more than you wanted to know - and more than I expected to write - but do please tell me if any of it doesn't make sense.
