It's a movie set, I'm sure they don't do anything but blink.  On board a real carrier, however, I'm sure every light has a purpose.  lol

Ok, I guess its just filler.

When I was a kid I use to wonder if its was reading out a message.

Also, notice in space movies (Star Trek) how bland the walls are.  Enter any tank, ship or plane and the walls are just filled with nifty little red things to push!  Especially on a Puff the Magic Dragon! ;D

:o Felix?!  Not knowing something?!  Well, there's a first for everything!

Seriously though, I can see how it sounded a bit random.  This is a Puff the Magic Dragon for the rest of you. ;)

Remember that puffing the magic dragon is a term for smoking dope. ::) ;)
