However the movie turns out, they do get bonus points for the use of the Combustible Edison tune in the trailer.

Cyriaque, this whole article was a transparent excuse to use the word "Brobdingnagian" in a lede. I wholeheartedly approve.

If anything, the problem was that it wasn't Flash Gordony enough. Cowards.

I've got an internet for you — as soon as I figure out how to hitch it to the SnoCat I'll bring it up.

I was thinking Farscape wormhole, myself.

Sounds like Step 1 for those intending to view the film is "Induce temporary alterations in your brain chemistry resulting in entertaining perceptual shifts."

I agree — I think the phrase that should have been used in the OP is "out gay actor." An outed gay actor is definitely someone who was yanked out of the closet by someone else, and Quinto came out on his own.

My god, even my rinky-dink hometown would have gotten a stop. I could have gotten the hell out of there and gone somewhere interesting. [shakes fist at sky]

My vote for the "How could you leave this off your list?" episode didn't require a moment's deliberation. It's 2x09, "Out of Their Minds." One of Farscape's strengths was that they took tropes you've seen done over and over and found some new way to make you appreciate them. In this case, it's the best body-switching…

And nobody wants to be the one who pulls the pin out. (They'll make a grad student do it in the end, I guarantee it.)

Missing word alert: "Volume 10 of Phil and KAJA Foglio's Girl Genius..." #corrections

Hi, I've got an internet in the delivery truck — can you sign here, please?

I think the doll's ridiculous boobs were a plot point — she makes some incredulous remark about them in the scene.

TORRES sang the SONG? Dammit, now look — my brain just took itself offline for the day.

Either that or it's a story about a team of sad programmers on a failed operating-system project.

Don't worry, honey. You can't catch the gay from the teevee.

The publication of a new novel by Samuel R. Delany partially set in 2067 isn't SF-news enough for you?

Oh, good. I don't have to write that myself.

[golf claps]

Aw, c'mon. Maybe as a sequence during an episode of "Town & Country"?
