Ned “Scotty” Scott: Here’s the sixty-four dollar question - what do you do with a vegetable?
Nikki: Boil it.
Ned “Scotty” Scott: What did you say?
Nikki: Boil it... bake it... stew it... fry it?

It sounds like a film or TV episode I saw... Maybe it was the X-Files episode “Ice,” though it was set in Alaska.

These people obviously didnt properly train for the pressures of arctic isolation...

This is interesting...

These South Pole Scientists Who Watch The Thing Every Year Are Just Asking for Trouble

Well, I see only four females in the picture. 3 of which I am not sure that any are female. The one in the yellow t-shirt with a blue shirt underneath (we see the arms) of a second shirt apparently, is the only female I can be relatively sure that it is a female. A second female is possible 2 from her to the right (Standing 3rd from the right). Another one with a pink hat more or less directly in front of her. The last possible one is a black (perhaps) female standing behind and left of the guy kneeling in the front left (with two guys in blue t-shirts on either side of her).

Me too.

UK Daily Mail pic captioned: "Pictured is a different team" [indeed, Captain Obvious: doesn't look anything like what i pictured a bunch of typical South Africans would look like.]

Post 46 appears to be a picture of a previous crew.

I remember I always kind of liked "Ice Station Zebra"...another of those "Cold War Genre" movies!

One of my favorite Cold War movies was "The Bedford Incident":

Missing was the information that he is a shape-changing alien.

That is a piece of information that I would definitely want to have, earlier rather than later.

How it ends:

Exactly.

They are South Africa’s problem. If they can’t get them they shouldn’t be there in the first place.

I absolutely love those old Pink Panther movies, and the fights between Cato and the Inspector!

My favorite one, though, was when the Inspector was in bed with some woman, and Cato is hiding on top of the canopy:

Has the last flight for the Summer left already?
