@amygdala: I'm glad you explained that particular award for me. I was scratching my head as to how he was a fan writer, when he clearly has been a professional author for many years.

@serenada: I'm absolutely with you on keeping it raunchy and real. Since its reportedly going to be on Stars, which is a premium subscription channel like HBO, Showtime, etc., I think it could be as wild as they want. Captain Jack's pansexuality is too much a part of his character to tone down.

@AdoraBelle: A small sea anemone which has detached from its substrate. The phallic looking part is its base, which would normally be attached to a rock or whatever.

@Snafu77: The "Ho" to "Housewife" reaction is chemically catalyzed by a small circular amount of gold.

@g.blazers1: This is really a good point. I thought that was one of the best two-parters in Dr. Who history. It had it all, creepy gas mask people, alien nano-tech, World War II London, Captain Jack in a invisible spaceship, and it ends where Dr. Who saves everyone (as he said "No one dies this time.").

@Charlie Jane Anders: Well, wouldn't 42 would be more appropriate for io9?

@out.of.cheese.error: I want to see Sister Clairice go pro! She's got a serious score to settle with Barnabas, and I'd like to see her do it with a large knife.

@thebluepill: The blind albino penguins are from the original story by H. P. Lovecraft. If I remember correctly, they evolved or were bred by the Old Ones to live in their subterranean city on the sunless sea. They may have been a food source for the Old Ones or their Shoggoths.

This movie looks like it could be more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

@ringer81: It does have its downsides though. In the video clip they say that this expert ghost shark hunter hasn't bathed in 14 years. Presumably, to avoid being attacked by a vengeful ghost shark. Perhaps one knows an expert in this field by the strength of his/her odor?

@typicalhero: I'm with you in that "Alien" was a groundbreaking film. There was literally nothing like it at the time. I don't watch enough horror to really know if it's still the "greatest" but that it is great is a given.

I'm very optimistic about this film. De Toro might be just the director to bring us a first class movie adaptation of H. P..Lovecraft. "At The Mountains of Madness" may be Lovecraft's most film-able work, if handled correctly. Cameron can pull in the money and handle the special effects. It's potentially full of…

@CanisPugnaxSnores: I'll see your Ghost Shark 3 Resurrection, and raise you a Space Warrior Cyborg Shark.

@JoshUng: I agree with it being an awesome job title. Along the same lines, I've always thought it would be semi-cool to work at an Apple Store. Although it's retail, how many folks have a name tag and business card hat proclaims them to be a "Genius"?

@Krakenstein: I would imagine that if one wished to catch a zombie shark, you would bait your hook with brains?

My brain sort of derailed when it encountered the phrase "expert ghost shark hunter." I'll can swallow the premise that there is a ghost shark. However, for there to be a expert ghost shark hunter, one should imagine that ghost sharks are a common enough problem that there are professionals who hunt them. This…

@sibelian: Well, they sorta tried the female lead concept with the Sara Jane Chronicles. I agree though that The Doctor should remain male. I'm not opposed to strong female characters in the show, Dr. River Song seems to be heading toward a role like that.

@hitmouse: Wasn't that known as the "New Wave"? I remember that Michael Moorcock edited an recurring anthology of this type of "Speculative Fiction."

@antonchigurh: I was wondering what bird has that long a feather, some type of exotic pheasant I'd guess.

@Sabbatai: If you want to watch the episodes you missed, they are all availible on Hulu.
