I couldn't agree more. I went from BBSes and Usenet to chatrooms to blogs and now social media. And through it all, the microcosm of humanity, good and ill, has been on display. Now that more people are online it just makes it that much easier to see, but it was always there.

Thanks to the cover pic, all I can think of is a SW/Usual Suspects crossover. Chewie would be Benecio Del Toro obviously.

I started watching Doctor Who via PBS reruns when I was about 11 or 12. Maybe that was too old to be scared, but more likely, there just wasn't anything I really found scary about it. Then again, I used to read Stephen King and watch the Friday the 13th and Freddy's Nightmares TV shows and was never really scared by…

Sorry, but I have to rant about the nonsensical nature of this occupation story arc:

OK, I'm definitely late to this, but I've just caught up with the last few episodes. If I were to hazard a guess, it's because William Bell was really a negative influence on Walter. Think of him as an anti-Jiminy Cricket. Since Bell died in a car crash in the alt-universe before he and Walter ever met, then…

Not just punch...ROCKET PUNCH!

Too bad he didn't do this BEFORE the movie was released and forced an injunction against it ever being screened for the public.

Don't forget MGM for the episode of Stargate SG-1 that was based entirely on the Mitchell-Hedges Skull.

If I remember the episode correctly, Sam's girlfriend DID kill people. True, it was to cure her sick kid and she swore she'd go back to draining stiffs again, but the fact remains that she crossed that line (I don't remember if they were lowlifes or what, so that could be a mitigating factor). Dean put her down but…

From what I got out of this trailer, apparently Loki is pissed that he couldn't defeat the Avengers to conquer Earth, so he decides to try again in another 200 years.

I've got a better Star Wars ornament for you. It was the Hallmark exclusive for Celebration VI this year and, yes, I own one. Behold: Obi-Wan and Ponda Baba from the cantina scene in IV...AFTER he cut off his arm...which is also another ornament. …

I think calling Michio Kaku a 'fanboy' is a bit disingenuous. He is a theoretical physicist as opposed to an actual (astro)physicist like NDT. His career was based on trying to prove string theory. He has definitely fallen into the Hollywood trap as of late, but he seems to be genuinely interested in these concepts…

I know I'm a bit late to the game here, but I seem to remember this was originally SUPPOSED to be a prequel to Aliens, but then Fox backed out, leaving the production to be de-'Alien'ed since they no longer had rights to the property. That doesn't mean all of the changes that were made were necessary, but it would…

Just replace earthquakes with global climate change and tack on a few more decades and this video is good until at least mid-century.

I'm a little late to the review so my apologies if this has been asked already, but what happened to the idea of Dalek genetic purity? I can totally see them using human puppets for their own ends, but never a full conversion. Maybe it was because they were on the asylum so they were too insane to care, but still.

There was a company called Super7 (at Star Wars Celebration of all places) advertising that they are making classic 5 point of articulation action figures from the original Alien movie. http://blog.super7store.com/super7-announces-alien-reaction-figures

I definitely agree about the ending of Season 5, very much like how Stargate SG1 wrapped everything up neatly after Season 8 or even how Community wrapped up this past season with Dan Harmon's ignominious departure. The narrative arc that the show was built around has been told and if you are so inclined, you can…

I'm (North) American and yet I count left thumb (1) to right thumb (10), closed to open. Not sure where I learned it from...then again, I also eat while holding a fork and knife at all times European style whereas the rest of my family uses the hold the fork, pick up knife, cut food, place down knife and eat method. …

I think she merely meant for simplicity's sake. Early comic origin stories were pretty straight forward. Iron Man started the franchise pretty much how the comic book started, just updating and tweaking to bring it into a modern context. The way Green Lantern was presented would be equivalent with starting the Iron…

Wait, so is this movie an Alien/Doctor Who mashup? Because damn if that doesn't look like an Ood.
