Now when they said NSFW, I absolutely assumed that *this* would be on the list. Have to say, I'm a little disappointed that this didn't qualify...

Now when they said NSFW, I absolutely assumed that the breast from EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX... that skiefer1 posted the image of would be on the list. Have to say, I'm a little disappointed that this didn't qualify...

Funny, when I met Alan Parsons in 1999, he didn't have his blue aura/astral projection thing going around him then...

I might have been more impressed with WotW:G if they hadn't made some big anachronistic mistakes: at the 0:30 mark, we see the ruins of the Chrysler Building, which wouldn't be built until 15 years after the film was set, and most likely never have been built in an environment they describe.

I stand corrected: Underoos are NOT he creepiest things you can wear under your clothes...

It's interesting reading these comments now, in light of Strapel having just retracted his paper...

Well, time to get started on praising Jesus of Borg; may I suggest:

OK, does anyone REALLY think that given a chance, Seth MacFarlane's version of COSMOS isn't going to have an episode like this mixed in the batch...?

I can appreciate that. As you surmised, yes, there is an age difference between us; I remember being a really, really big fan of LAND OF THE GIANTS when it first came out as young'un. The first time I saw it as an adult, it was... embarrassingly painful, to put it mildly...

Geeze, you'd think after being shaken, flooded and nuked for 30 seconds on high, the last thing Japan would want would be to be boiled...

Not to be that person...

Well, you did say this article was a reprint from 2008, so the advice about the Euros being out of date which others have already flagged need not be drilled too hard here.

Said CJA:

Are they saying Emmerich wants a more realistic movie?

I'm glad to see what they can give you for $20K effects-wise.

My thought EXACTLY! Admittedly, with all the shows they film in Canada, it was only a matter of time before they raided the CBC library for content...

Um, Corey...

I want to second Chris Braak's vote and speak up in favor of Harry Mudd. He'd be the perfect villain for this day and age:

Now, maybe if they had just revived these old scripts, they might have done a lot better than what we got on Sunday...

It's not hard to imagine that he might not come back. With Auntie Beeb's financial straits leading to waves of layoffs lately, there might be a lot of pressure on him to either take a very big paycut or face a lot of "persuasion" to allow for a new, fresher, and most importantly *cheaper* talent to helm the TARDIS...
