And here’s a timeline.
Not to be nitpicky, but it’s Huygens, not Cassini, that will be landing (or splashing, or splutting…)

Quite right, Zev! I just hope there are some surprises. There almost always are.
Doggonnit, I was gonna start a “countdown to Huygens” thread yesterday but it slipped my mind.
Still excited. Very, very excited. I’ll have to check the listings to see where Comcast is broadcasting NASA-TV this week, and set the TiVo.
If a mod wanders in, could you change the title to correct my error? Thanks. I don’t want to trivialize Cassini, though. It’s done a lion’s share of work. Maybe something like, “Cassini probe Huygens lands on Titan Friday”.
Cool. I hope it lands in an alien city.
Just a pile of rocks. Trick of light and shadow. Nothing to see here. Move along.

I hope it does not.
It could do damage.
I hope it lands next to an alien city, assuming that aliens have cities, & that we would be able to recognize them as cities if they did.
I won’t even get into the question of being able to recognize aliens as being alive…
I’m not worried about there being surprises. I’m fascinated to guess what the surprises might be. 
(Anyone else remember the F-ring?)
Given the way the last few missions have gone, I’m guessing that the surprise will be the parachute falling off while the probe is still 30,000 feet above the surface.
Noooo! All will go well, and we will see an ice critter (or a nice critter) peering into the lens.
I am indeed excited about the Huygens probe. I’ve been visiting the JPL Cassini site Lib posted in the OP almost every day since they released that first tiny picture of Saturn it took when it was still a gazillion miles away. In fact, I have what I think is the most kick-ass picture of Saturn ever taken as my desktop background. I can hardly wait for Friday!
Yay! Been waiting half a year for this. It’ll be nice to see what it sends back for pictures; there’s a pretty sophisticated imager on board. I don’t suppose we’ll be able to get an IR shot of Saturn through the clouds - will the probe be landing in the right hemisphere for that?
Just a bump in preparation… I haven’t heard any more about this so I assume it’s still on schedule. First data due back on Earth at about quarter past three this afternoon GMT. According to that timeline, and adjusting for the time zone and 67-minute communications delay, Huygens should actually have touced down about 20 minutes ago, in real time 
By the way, weren’t the pics of Iapetus cool? That ridge round the equator is kind of odd.
I feel like a little kid …
Is it there yet?

I guess a more accurate whine would be …
Have the pictures gotten back yet?

It has entered the clouds. Carrier tone signal detected.
However, the “full story” link on that page still goes to the “carrier signal detected” story.

From Knorf’s link, it transmitted for FIVE hours!
