ALL THE POINTS to those Rescue Rangers!!!

YES! Along with tom dunne's idea of reprising the "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you" line.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I've imagined the *exact* same thing. In my version, he whoops all the necessary butts, pulls down his hood and informs the newbies "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you."

I'm too old to be this excited about a movie.

Excellent article. C. S. Lewis Space Trilogy (a personal favorite of mine) also has excellent speculation on it, and had the effect of enhancing both my devotion to Christianity and Science Fiction

Thank you for this article. For once, it was very fair, showing multiple possibilities without condemning or mocking Christianity.

This was a well written article that poses interesting thought without being effected by much of (if any) bias. Thanks Mark.

I am glad that O'Meara did bring up the seventh option (and if I remember correctly, wasn't that kind of C.S. Lewis's theory in his Space Trilogy?). In fact, Christian belief already includes the existence of beings who do not need redemption (The Angels and Powers that did not fall).

More Secret History articles. I'm a sucker for stories about fascinating, little-known aspects of bygone science and SF lore. History is everything that ever happened up until now - there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.

I really enjoyed your stories on science fiction's roots, like the 1886 Hugos and the history of pulps in other countries, and I'd love to see more like that. I'd also like to see more on pre-Internet fandom, like maybe the first Worldcon?

A comprehensive (dare I say definitive?) series on the history and technology of Special Effects and Visual Effects (these are two different things) in Film and Television.

A series of articles about what was big in science fiction, fantasy, and science in a particular year, sort of like the old VH-1 retrospective series about the 1970s, 1980s, etc. Doesn't have to be a linear march through time and might be better if it wasn't. For example, what was big in 1963? How about 1975?

I like it when you guys point out and explain when popular media misunderstands a scientific story (or greatly exaggerates it).

Shoebill Stork...

Prequel: Untitled: The Unbeginning

Awesome, can't wait for Untitled because I'm a big fan of it, while it's a reboot, it's a long time away and many things can change from now till its opening.

In Scooby-Doo, Fred does not say, "Hey, gang, let's follow these shoeprints." The very first definition of footprint at Dictionary.com reads "a mark left by the shod or unshod foot, as in earth or sand." Investigators will use the term "bootprint" to distinguish correctly between what they see and, say, "shoeprints"…

Clearly I need to get my Yar's Revenge manuscript finished.

interesting to juxtapose that bit with syndromes monologue later on. "When everyone is special....... no one will be! "

Let's see what a certain Dr Van Allen himself had to say regarding the matter of the belts (which yes, he was the discoverer of in the first place.)
