Looks like someone was inspired by the original 1970s Solaris.

If beaming across the galaxy is possible, why use starships at all? And if Admiral Robocop was so worried about the Klingons why wouldn’t he just beam some photon torpedos directly into every Klingon command center and ship safely from Earth and completely eliminate the threat instantly?

People like Gaiman and Del Toro (and Edgar Wright) will never work on a Marvel movie for the same reason that Spielberg and Tarantino weren’t allowed to do Bond movies, of course the giant company who’ve planned things out 10 years into the future want a big name director who actually has a vision of their own and…

I thought it was a shame they couldn’t get him for the fiftieth, who really would have cared if he hadn’t been able to do post-production work on Hobbit III, it’s not like it would have made a difference anyway.

Starting with Halo 4, didn’t Karen Traviss start helping plot the Halo games? I think that more than anything would explain things since a lot of the stuff you talked about here absolutely sounds familiar from how she tried to reconfigure the Star Wars universe (Jedi are suddenly Nazi slaveowners, Order 66 is heroic,…

Here’s something I’ve wondered about Felicia Day... how exactly did she suddenly become so big a few years ago?

will they go the Battlestar Galactica route, and make it a dark and serious story?

Since Star Wars Rebels is canon, it’s always a big deal when they introduce a new character. This is a person, creature or droid that will now forever be a part of Star Wars lore

McConaughey would be a perfect Flagg. Actually, isn’t he also supposed to be Flagg in The Stand movie? I mean, having him be both would be just meta enough for The Dark Tower. They could even take out the real-life Stephen King scenes and replace it with them meeting real-life actor Matthew McConaughey.

Pure Pazaak!

Doctor Who is popular on Tumblr? You don’t say!

Is there a place where someone collected the lore of Destiny in an easy to read format for a person who has never played the game? I have never played Destiny, never intend to, and I think the way people gush about it is ridiculous, but I’m finally curious enough I’d like to read through this supposedly great story.

I read this as Stephenies Meyer adapting The Rock... now that I’d see!

Wow... largest simulcast? Broadcast same day on BBC America? You’re right, it’s as big as Batman and Lord of the Rings!

It’s still 25 years later... from Fire Walk With Me!

The Sun Crusher is pretty much what Starkiller Base in Episode 7 is going to be.

Wow... a positive story about DC on io9? I hope you got clearance from Marvel Studios for this story prior.

My grandmother grew up in Philadelphia, and she told me she remembers being in a movie theater and a man running in to grab his kids and take them out, yelling that Martians were invading.

Really glad to hear that Victarion will appear. One of my favorite characters from the later books, and last rumor I read here, he was going to be taken out of the Kingsmoot plot.

I remember that we watched The Net in high school for some class. I have no idea why.
