@Derek Pegritz: I'm in agreement with you there. He (It?) always creeped me out. Much more than say a Shoggoth (which is what I think #1 depicts).

@skywalker993: I don't know there's something fishy about it. . .

@8x10: You can skip the second movie. From what I've gathered, even most X-Philes like myself were disappointed by it.

@99TelepodProblems: In "I Want to Believe" I thought that the whole murder and organlegging plot, as well as the head transplant stuff was kind of like the old-school X-Files. But the psedo-religious search for meaning/absolution associated with the pedophile former priest and such really ruined it for me.

@GenXCub: It's interesting that he needs suspenders to hold up his "diaper." Or maybe they are just to hold his extra ammo?

@jetRink: Funny! But sadly enough, you're probably right.

@ManchuCandidate: Jeebus of the Serpents appears to be. The Vigin Mother is clearly Madonna of the Boas (Our Lady of the Slithery Scales).

@TendoMentis: Wouldn't autoporn just consist of a mirror?

@crosis101: That's probably because it posions itself to death with a acute overdose of testosterone in the womb. Normal males merely suffer from chronic testosterone poisoning.

@8x10: I was thinking that myself. However, they only buy things they think they can resell. I wonder if there is a market for these types of aircraft or their parts?

@Nannirk: Wow, now my head hurts. ;)

@Smeagol92055: I have to assume you didn't fulfill that particular need for the former girlfriend?

@TheFirstBardo: I figured that was the case, and I agree completely that that idea is one of the most ridiculous attempts at fear mongering ever. I was just thinking that the idea of Canadian Terror Babies was a corollary so improbable it would defy all reason.

@greenman1: If anyone is interested in e-reading "Last and First Men" by Olaf Stapledon (or "Star Maker"), you can get a free download in a variety of formats from FeedBooks:

@Lictalon: I think this trilogy doesn't get the respect it deserves, because it is usually classified as "Young Adult." But heck, so is Harry Potter! It is clearly fantasy though, so it wouldn't appear in this list in any case.

@Aidan_ says: Oditores odituri sunt: I'll agree with you on all counts. I've read both more than once. I've also given several copies to friends, as I buy them whenever I run across them at a used book store. Here's a link to further information on them at Goodreads:

@Nannirk: This kind of "wibbily-wobbly, timey-wimey" thinking has that effect on one. As The Doctor says, "It's very complicated." :-)

@ageiser: I think many people wish this were possible.
