Set the Wayback Machine for 1966 and indulge in one of the very few "serious" sci-fi's of that era (that didn't involve rubber monsters, English dubs, and baby-boomer teen angst) and made two years before "Space Baby". "Fantastic Voyage" was awesome for its time and the first few minutes inside the blood streeam were…

All we need is Mega Maid to suck some of the atmosphere off of Venus and blow it onto Mars. Two planets for the price of one! Suck... Suck... SUCK! ;)

I was at the right age to enjoy the original Battlestar Galactica when it came out, but even then I started to notice the re-use of footage and the "back lot" look to the series (i.e. using redressed sets from other tv shows, "Star Trek" was painfully obvious about this too), but I lived with it because that was IT…

Animation was a serious cinematic art form in the US at one time. You'd see as many grown-ups at a Disney film like "Fantasia" as kids. What killed it were cheap tv cartoons and the medium becoming stigmatized as kids' fare because it was overused as a cheap way to market toys, fast foods, and sweet cereals to baby…

I started reading the BOST series in high school, but they pulled the books out of the school library in my junior year (red state, of course). Found the rest at Goodwill and a yard sale though. Good, but yeah, pretty risque. Piers' Apprentice Adept series is even more suggestive, skirting zoophilia and even…

Beware: chicken bling can be a slippery slope...

Looks like the NBC Peacock traded his feathers for a nice pair of legs.

Looks like Disney made the right call 72 years ago!

I will still enjoy my favorite sci-fi movies, tv programs, and books, thanks to my trusty Suspension-of-Disbelief Engine tucked neatly away in my Imagination Complex.

Claudia was freelancing at that time (remember she walked out at the end of the previous episode), tricking her way into a hospital morgue or wherever Jinx's body was being stored.

$4K? There are whole websites (and even a fandom) dedicated to this kind of art (at least the top image anyways) and some of the original art there is quite impressive (btw: the kind above is usually referred to as "rule-34" art—q.v.). You can find even better and even more "adult" for a lot less if you know where…

Andy's been there, done that, and now his job is done.

"Conjunction Junction, wherefore art thy function?"

Then again I wouldn't mind saluting her in the morning either. Promote 'em all, I say!

I recall a handful of alien captains sprinkled throughout the Trek series. Spock eventually became the captain of the first Enterprise. In the TOS episode "Immunity Syndrome" a lost starship was supposedly crewed entirely by Vulcans. The NE episode "Conspiracy" featured an alien starship captain and a Vulcan…

I'd like to see a revival of the invasion from another galaxy concept that was teased-upon in both TOS ("By Any Other Name" -S2E22) and NG ("Conspiracy"-S1E25). The premise worked great for the inter-quadrant Dominion Invasion story arc of DS9. It was cool to see rivals form alliances against an unknown and powerful…

Oh, I'll give Irwin his props. He was my sci-fi "hero" growing up (and I was at just the right age to nibble on his "cheese" at his pinnacle). I ate up almost everything he put out and still have a little nostalgia viewing of "Earthquake" or "The Swarm". He was the master of the "disasteropera". I guess he's like…

We'd be as much of a planet as moonless Mercury and Venus. The Moon would be a planet too as it orbits the sun on its own (or at least a dwarf planet like Pluto). It'd be quite an event every time it came close to us as it passes us in its orbit only once-a-year or so (or we pass it? Newtonian physics not being my…

As long as we don't see THIS in the sky, we should be alright. Mostly...

The "Death Star" (according to some internet sources) is presumed to be about 900km in diameter, or about 1/4 the size of the moon. It should still be plainly visible to the naked eye in lunar orbit. How visible would depend on the reflectivity of the material of its construction. Yeah, we'd see it coming and have…
