I’m fine with this, though I think saying that The Force Awakens is the first Star Wars movie with a female lead is only accurate if you ignore literally every prior Star Wars movie.

I enjoyed Cloverfield when I saw it, though if there’s one thing I was let down by, it was the insane secrecy and ARG promotion stuff. The secrecy really had no point and the ARG didn’t tie into it at all. But taken on its own, I thought it was a fine movie.

In the episode Conduit, wasn’t it established that Mulder didn’t remember that his sister was taken by aliens until he had a hypnotic regression years later?

I’m guessing Tirana in the Dark Tower movie is a renamed Mia from the book series.

I feel like a movie that tries to take the piss out of big superhero action setpieces probably was best not trying to emulate them even more.

The Bryan Singer versions also made a brief appearance as the ancient Cylons they find the remains of on Earth.

I actually did buy that Starbuck is dead, for pretty much the reasons the article listed, but also because it was A) before a lot of the other stuff on this list and similar switcheroo attempts, so it wasn’t something I was automatically expecting; and B) BSG was still at the tail end of the period where I could still…

Glad Aces of the Deep got a mention. It was one of my first ever video games as a kid.

I remember back in 2009, when Hillary was saying that she wasn’t going to run again, there was a lot of talk that O’Malley was going to be the inevitable 2016 nominee... whoops!

Reading this surprised me because for some reason, I honestly thought that Carpenter was dead. I guess I just got him jumbled up in all the big genre names who’ve died recently.

Loom and Curse need to be much higher up.

Virgin Galactic in 2004:

I took the tour a few years ago. It was neat, but it’s also telling that one of the most memorable things about the tour was that we went by Ted Turner’s ranch to get there.

I love that Darin Morgan obviously wrote a part specifically for Kumail Nanjiani as a result of how well they got along on The X-Files Files podcast.

I came here just to post that the image was from the Ringworld RPG, not Ringworld itself.

I feel like setting this in some fake authoritarian regime was a mistake. It would have had more impact if it was about a newspaper in a democracy going along with the wishes of the government and investors, to show how even in “free society” information is managed and controlled.

I liked Krod Mandoon.

December 15, 2017 is also when Spielberg’s Ready Player One adaptation is going to be released. I wonder what Lucas thinks about Disney using his franchise to screw over his best friend.

I think this actually was in an episode of Z Nation.
