By being "true to Starbuck" (or any character) sometimes he'd ignore "development" they'd had in an ENTIRE SEASON.

Wait, "Enterprise" wasn't fanfic?

"greatER continuity" [missed the edit window to correct that]

I love Star Trek and it's intricate history, but come on. It's a TV show. He's supposed to nix a story because it contradicts one little line in an episode years before? It would be great if every detail could always be consistant, but after decades of pumping out episodes it's just not possible.

During the early 1990s, Paramount also took the highly unusual step of accepting over-the-transom scripts from writers for Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. The offer lifted all the usual restrictions — you didn't need an agent, didn't need to be a SWG member — but limited you to a single pitch.

Unfortunately, this inconsistency isn't out of character for Ron Moore.

I did, and my last comment still stands. (The I-forgot-I-was-a-secret-agent-but-my-muscle-memory-didn't has now been done to death, but the added craziness of I-also-saved-the-earth-and-didn't-know-it ... yes, silly as it is ... would give it a fresh spin.)

Can't believe Battlefield Earth is going to take this. It is definitely in the 'so bad its good' category (or at least good for a laugh). No way it is worse than all, much less half, the other flicks here

They're releasing it in August? Not exactly a show of approval from the studio ...

No, you should seek it out, if only to experience the sheer mind-numbing squandrance of it all. (And yeah, I made up that word.) It is literally like watching $100 million burn on a cheap grill.

Heck, why wait for io9 — let's get this party started:

Picking 64 bad movies to compete is too easy — and leaves out SO many deserving titles. I would much rather see a bracket to determine the worst DIRECTOR of all time. Now THAT would be more cathartic, and you wouldn't have to pick between one stinker and another, but could judge the contest on the totality of the work.

Paul W.S. Anderson WISHES his movies were as good as Sucker Punch.

Here's how bad Skyline was — up until last year, a buddy and I would still pay and go see movies in the theater we knew were bad (like the Death Race remake, for instance). We would have a few beers, fire off MST3K zingers at the screen and have a good laugh. And mind you, this was the same friend I invited over to…

Unfortunately, once again the lesson suits in Hollywood (and Disney, if they survive the coming purge) will take away from this is "don't take chances on the different" and "do keep pandering" — instead of the real teachable moment: MAKE SURE YOUR MARKETING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SELLING.

Where are the Duckcoats when you need them?

While researching for a game many years ago, a friend gave me an old OOP book on a history of duels and sword-fighting that completely changed my outlook: essentially real fights lasted only a few seconds, after only one or two blows, and were frequently fatal — hours or days later, when the stabbed would die horribly…

Moon 44 is always at the top (bottom?) of my list: it was Roland Emmerich's first feature, and I still can't believe he was even allowed to make a 2nd movie, much less go on to piss away 100s of millions of dollars since.

See, this is what I love about io9 — even if they get the details wrong on occasion, they know History goes back farther than 15 minutes ago. And they never cease digging up the past and presenting it in inspiring ways.

Uh, guys — been there, done that
