I was going to try, but we just had a baby and my wife is having gall bladder stuff. Normally, I try to call those silly excuses, but its really eating into my free time!

Oh, also, in regards to "haunted ideas," I always thought someone playing with space/time would be interesting. Like, it's a haunted house. But it's only haunted on Thursdays because only Thursday is haunted.

I have the space elevator thing in my sci-fi comedy novel "Attack of the Space Pirates." The SPACE (Sentient and Peaceful Association of Cosmic Entities) satellite is under attack. So, the reinforcements go to the space elevator to go help, but must listen to the muzak for ages.

Can we get a Bruce Willis - Time Travel movie count?

Look, I know io9 is sci-fi, but it also covers urban fantasy. Community has easily crossed the line into some sort of "suburban fantasy." I think we need full coverage here.

Well, to be fair the Constable has packed a sidearm since Inspector 3's encounter with the lead-allergic face-eaters of Ploxigon 7.

Oh my God, this was easily one of my favorites. Troy's plot was indeed terrific.

I would have preferred him come back right away. Though, the episode with John Noble and the little boy was one of my favorites, truth be told. But, yeah. I think it would have been nice to skip the fuse and go straight to the bomb. Fringe is best when it's going apeshit all the time.

I worked at an outdoor education facility and was lucky enough to have many a dragonfly on my hand. Even more amazing: When the nymphs "become" dragonflies and the wings dry in the sun.

Dragonflies don't have stingers. They can bite if they are large enough.

Am I the only one who read the headline in Rob Lowe's voice? Probably. But I stand by it.

I couldn't turn away. Smallville was so terrible so often. And I watched every week, hating and loving every minute.

He has a protective aura keeping him safe from particulate. Not sure if it's canon, but pre-52 that was the case. It was explored in an elseworlds-style tale where Flash's son has the speed but not the aura, so he risks his life whenever he uses the speed.

I'd call it my favorite - it's the only one I legitimately looked forward to reading again. But that Batman book is pretty dang good, too. Easily second for me.

We've got a rural cinema that is in that beautiful intersection of good selection and cheaper prices. It's only about six, seven bucks for first runs and the popcorn is less than a ticket!

Crackpots aside, my son enjoyed it for the running time. I, unfortunately, am a loud laugher. Coupled with my often dry sense of humor and there were a few instances where I was the only one who got the joke.

I love book 5. It flowed well, didn't get all hooptedoodley (wordy) like some of King's stuff, but still had that batshit insanity that I think King does well. As in, he takes some weird ideas and makes them fairly compelling. Book 6 was well done, too for me, but book 7 was too wordy in many spots and took too

I didn't like the book as a whole, but loved the last book. The Dark Tower 7 is, to me, evidence that King needs an editor still. I like the story and many of the events, but it was too, too long. Some of the plot lines really petered out without a lot of decent closure and it was wordy. King can be so wordy!

I've only seen Bardem in No Country for Old Men, so I can't vouch for his acting beyond that - but I also think he doesn't look the part.

That'd be tight - it could lead to a less depressing ending. Although, I am honestly a fan of the ending in the books.
