Yeah, but then again I'm Dutch, and there's a lot more nudity on Dutch TV. Even 34 years ago. that was so. The most progressive of our public broadcasters (VPRO) probably broadcast it around eight in the evening. That watershed isn't even holy these days. My daughters (5 and 7) have seen more nudity (or at least…

Must've been ten when I saw Fritz the Cat for the first time. Boy, was I not ready for that.
They didn't even try to fit Jordan's Wheel of Time in there. Would merit a table of its own.
I hope you are right. Your arguments seem sound, but you're forgetting the most important reason that all these properties have succeeded and some of the others have failed. It is not primarily their weirdness, but it is their quality that made them the successes they are. All have great stories, good acting, great…
Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic. The greatest scientific mind of the Marvel Universe, and that's saying some. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_Rich…
Where's Linoleum in all this? Cost and Installation Difficulty will be high, but Durability also and Cleaning is easy. It is the default flooring in many European Primary School.
Honor Harrington. Plain and simple. Yes, I know they're not that well written, they're predictable, sentimental, etc. But man, I love these stories. They're a guilty pleasure and a happy place. Same goes for harry Dresden.
I don't know. But then again neither do you. We'll see. I like IO9 for what it is now. And I don't miss that particular niche myself. It is just an observation. If IO9 wants to broaden its appeal they could diversify into this and many other sub-genres. Maybe a better idea would be to give science its own gawker site…
Oh I'm fairly sure that a great many people here hate it. But that's beside the point. If IO9 wants to cover all aspects of science fiction and fantasy it should also cover the those niches which are despised by the majority of the fan boys. I am not the target audience for this type of literature, but for some reason…
Most science fiction and fantasy genres seem to be covered here, in most media formats; literature, television, film, etc. But there are some blind spots. Besides YA, one of the most popular genres in literature at the moment is supernatural chick lit. (Think of authors like Molly Harper, whose Jane Jameson series…

You have to have a Storium account to read most stories, but here's the link: https://storium.com/game/running-t…
There is at least one words he English language could borrow from Dutch. "Gezellig" (From wikipedia: Gezelligheid (Dutch pronunciation: [ɣəˈzɛləɣɦɛit]) is a Dutchabstract noun (adjective form gezellig) which, depending on context, can be translated as convivial, cosy, fun, quaint, or nice atmosphere, but can also…
What about the original Star Wars Movie? Yes, when adjusted for inflation it has quite a large budget, but is still nowhere as expensive as most of current science fiction blockbuster fare. It has two very good robots, droids by any other name, as protagonists, and loads of robots in the background.
Have never seen HIMYM. Not that much into sitcoms.
and then... Nothing. Right?
You were smarter than I.
It was never terrible, until the end. It never resolved many of the questions it posed and it ended with a cop-out.
I'm surely not the only one who stuck with it to the very end. And then wondered: really?!? The only about Lost is lost time I could've used better.
