How about going back and studying the lost Indus Valley Civilization, the first civilization in the Indian subcontinent and one of the oldest in the world? Or learning more about the sophisticated pre-Columbian American civilizations?

Even if the amount of silicon, magnesium, etc. is below harmful levels for the individual, what about when there are millions of these in use, with the metals being flushed from the body and introduced into the water supply? We're already seeing effects on wildlife, and possibly on humans, of all the pharmaceuticals…
Agnes was Kandyse McClure, best known as Dualla from Battlestar Galactica.
If there's no energy output, how do you measure it? And wouldn't the energy input of measuring it alter its quantum state?
I remember the instructions for the phone my family bought in the '80s. It didn't just explain the special features like the two lines and the hold button and the number memory, but assumed the reader didn't necessarily know how to use a telephone at all and explained the basics of what to do when the phone rang, how…
Reminds me of "Neutral Ground," a story Mike Resnick wrote for the 1989 prose anthology The Further Adventures of Batman. It was a short-short story about a man named Kittlemeier who created the specialty outfits and gadgets for both Batman and the rogues and had a strict "no-questions" policy.
The SGC in Stargate is run by the Air Force, not the Marines, though there were some Marines in SGU. And the Young Indy "TV movies" were just pairs of episodes, reformatted when the show didn't do well enough as a weekly 1-hour series.
Arrgh, CBS! It's bad enough when people confuse "intergalatic" with "interstellar," but using it for a trip from Earth to Mars? That's like referring to crossing the street as interplanetary travel.
The Internet is the Borg? Okay, nobody tell it to "sleep"...
"So, assuming the procedure worked, these women might someday be able to give birth using the wombs in which they themselves were carried in."
It's misleading to call the CW's Beauty and the Beast a fairy tale show. It has nothing to do with the fairy tale besides the name, and is instead loosely based on the Ron Koslow TV series from the '80s.
Just don't name it Mike...
Maybe the best argument in favor of giving other Earthly species intelligence on a par with ours is so that they could have a voice in the decisions we make that affect the rest of the world — and be a check on our excesses. We haven't exactly done a great job taking care of the rest of the world by ourselves — maybe…
I don't know why people react to the idea of a redheaded Lois Lane as though it were unprecedented. The very first (and third) live-action Lois, Noel Neill, was a redhead.
A bionic bald eagle... there's got to be a superhero comic in that somewhere.
I'm hopeful that if another list like this is made in a decade or so, John Carter will be on it. The movie flopped due to bad marketing, but it's a really, really good movie, and seems to have a significant cult following already.
Well, the dinosaurs we've seen before in the Whoniverse have been featherless, so at least it maintains continuity in-universe (for once).
According to Solow and Justman, the network actually loved the idea of a female first officer, but they didn't like Roddenberry's nepotism in casting ladyfriend Majel Barrett in the role. Rather than admit that, Roddenberry propagated the myth that Number One was dropped because of her gender. If he'd simply recast…
PIGTAILS... IN... SPAAAAAAAAACE!
Actually that and variations on it were used frequently: "He's dead, Jim" in "The Enemy Within," "The Changeling," and "Is There in Truth No Beauty," both "He's dead, Jim" and "She's dead, Jim" (twice!) in "Wolf in the Fold," "Dead, Jim" in "The Man Trap," and even "That won't bring back the dead, Jim" in "The…
