Funk dat noise—started with Season 1, Episode 1. If that doesn't hook you...well, actually, it didn't hook me—I watched it when it debuted, then never watched another episode until a week or two ago, when I just went on a marathon and watched the first and second seasons almost nonstop. Walter Bishop is The Man(tm).

I love tidally-locked planets. Gloaming is a lovely named for a world, too.

O. M. G. It's like Independence Day raped Cloverfield and Starship Troopers delivered the baby!

Year Zero is by far Trent Reznor's best work. I cannot WAIT to see this!

I just watched this film as an iTunes download. Now, it cost Ten Freakin' Dollars just to *rent* it, and the quality of the film that downloaded was horrendous—so washed out and colourless it was almost unwatchable—but this is a GREAT film. Not a Giant Monster Movie at all, nor particularly deep—but as an exploration

Danielewski is a one-hit wonder. House of Leaves was INCREDIBLE...but have any of you folks actually read—or even heard of—Only Revolutions? If feel bad for you if you have: that "book" (of which I've only managed to read at most thirty pages) is such a pathetic waste of time its author needs spanked. Seriously. Even

Victor Frankenstein produced *one* primitive bio-technological invention. Walter Bishop has invented everything from transgenic monsters to teleporters to promyci—I mean, Cortexifan.

I am by no means a scientist of any sort, but I understand the basic concepts of many different disciplines ranging from quantum physics to materials technology and biotechnology, and I think Charles Stross' Accelerando is one of *the* most scientifically and technologically accurate books ever written. It's one of

Oh, this looks good. :) I'm tired of gloryholing the Singularity—it's going to happen, but it's not going to be fun for everyone. People *will* be ground under. Sucks to be them, but hell...what can you do? Nothing's ever 0 or 1.

My almost-universal hatred for televised sci-fi has heretofore kept me from checking out Fringe, mainly because I thought it to be nothing more than an X-Files ripoff. But, thanks to a friend's urging, I finally broke down and started watching the first season—and it's AWESOME! Yeah, the science is absurd and the

Where's Moon on that list? That film was so disgustingly bad it made me hate Sam Rockwell—an actor whom I otherwise enjoy a great deal.

Fragile sacs of meat and liquid water have no future outside of planetary environments. Space is for the machines. Organics can have the terraformed environs of terrestrial planets.

I *love* Paradise Lost, and have long thought it would make an awesome film...but, quite frankly, I'd like to see Wayne Barlowe's God's Demon made into a film first. Sargatanas is The Man.

Wot? Ye never seen a mechaphant before?

Hmmm...looks like the insect overlords from Charles Stross' "Missile Gap" decided to start importing planetary surfaces to ringworlds.

Dude sounds like a character in a story *I* would write. I wonder if he ever met Francis E. Dec, Esquire? I bet those two august gentlemen would've gotten along smashingly!

Clint Eastwood can do no wrong.

Oh, gods—as a longtime Bigfoot afficionado, I've heard *all* of these ludicrous theories before. Though some of them are neat in the sense of being creative and, sometimes, even funny—in a rather Robert Anton Wilson-esque kind of way—I truly cannot believe that there are people who actually *believe* this crap. I can

It's true: my weather knee is NEVER wrong. Seriously—I *always* know when the weather's gonna change!

That is just...brilliant! I honestly cannot believe that the same guy who produced The Sixth Sense could shit out cinematic waste like The Last Airbender.
