Just a science note: BZ is a real thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-quinuclidinyl_benzilate However, it's typically aerosol-deployed because it isn't particularly water soluble. Other than that, the script was reasonably accurate about its effects and treatment.

Now playing

Just to clarify, the 'Gunter' song is an homage to Marceline's song about her dad in "It Came From the Nightosphere." YouTube link:

Hey GORN, when you're done vibrating would you mind putting out this fire in the art museum? Oh, and try to save everyone while you're at it- Thanks!

Steven Brust's Jhereg series novels are quick, fun reads if the concept of Fantasy-noir detective stories sounds interesting to you. Lots of dark humor and snappy dialogue.

^ This right here. I'd be happy if more US producers followed the model of Britain, Japan etc. and did some 'limited run' series instead of trying to inflate most shows to that 'magic' 100 episode mark for potential syndication.

Oh man, I'd almost forgotten about that show. And yes, the first season was awesome!

Not scifi, but Breaking Bad: 1 episode (the premiere). Holy cow, from the opening shot of Walt standing in his jockeys on a desert road to the end where we've come full-circle I was glued to my TV screen!

I'm somewhere in water.

That's a pretty bold statement coming from you, Doctor! :D

I typed up a whole long post about why you're wrong on this, but instead here's the TL:DR version:

Hmm, I'll have to go back and check it out- must have missed the intro traffic cam shot!

The flashback to young Elias' "trip to the woods" was just a traditional flashback, not the machine's doing. Note that there were no 'swooshy sounds' & 'digital overlay' machine effects, simply a standard dissolve (iirc - it may have just been a cut).

Well, in the alt-universe Fringe Division is located on Liberty Island within the DOD offices. And the map they were looking at was only showing Manhattan, as far as I could tell. A thin excuse perhaps, but it's all I've got.

Hooray for another Victorian Hugos entry! I created an account here a while ago just to post my appreciation for these (though I never got 'round to actually posting after some problems getting my account set up).

Agreed! It really is straight up SciFi, too: no "supernatural" elements, no fantastically preposterous pseudo-science, no 'superhuman' people (or mutants) loitering about. Sure, it can get a tiny bit sappy at times (I blame Spielberg's "gotta have a family in danger" influence for that), but it's pretty compelling

Just posted before reading your comment. Yeah, it was sometimes pretty embarrassing being a SciFi reader in the Seventies. :)

All i can say about this (as someone who lived through them) is "Hey, it was the Seventies. Some stuff happened. Most of us aren't exactly proud of it."

It says you have excellent taste in olde flash memes.

I've seen video of this place, it's very atmospheric. And Centralia actually did inspire the Silent Hill movie adaption. :D Info here: [www.imdb.com]

This one should be captioned "Get out of here, Stalker!"
