We had a Tim Burton party:

Little Miss Steerpike went as the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth, her favourite monster.

Well, some fan theories posit the Jetsons and the Flintsones occur at the same time, and that the Jetsons live above a civilization bombed back to the stone age, so it’s not all bright-eyed optimism.

My goodness, such snarky, troll notes. Granted, I read “You’re no Barbara Cartland” (whose daughter was immortalized in “Diamond Smiles” by The Boomtown Rats) and I thought “THANK GOD.” You are also no Danielle Steel or James Paterson (did I mention THANK GOD? THANK GOD!).

He’s wearing glasses.

I love that so many of your articles are about viewing spec fic through the lens of parenthood. Really cool thing to see on io9.

The BEST story about where he went, though. His wife died, and without hesitation he gave up his career to take care of their kids. It’s horrible that she died, and even more horrible that someone putting his children before something as trivial as being in movies is so laudable, but his vanishing act was his own…

It was a shining, august moment. Years of planning, and preparations had reformed the elite 501st legion. Then suddenly the bloody horror began anew, the ewoks had returned.

I think it’s as refreshing and original a comedic take on Lovecraftian horror as the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was on space opera. The movie was a bit disappointing, but I think the book will be remembered as a classic much in the same vein as Adams’ novels.

Agreed. But, in the defense of sitters...you could still lose your fingers, depending on the kids.

The terminator should of aged like a real computer where he would get hot and the fan would get really loud to cool off the old CPUs instead of aging like a real human.

Seriously. I don't get peoples reaction to this A) Why are people so surprised none of it stuck, and B) why are they annoyed. Undoing it all was the whole point of the story. It's not like they did it as an afterthought because they wrote themselves into a corner and needed a deus ex machina. Everything was meant to…

Before this, everything was pretty much Superfriends...

Obligatory Arrested Development

Sound engineer here. You're hearing the vocal without the backing music here, taken directly from the mixing desk. At 0:55 the band joins in with bass, drums, etc. and the dancing starts, but you can't hear them in her microphone (pro microphones are designed to have minimal pick-up of 'off axis' sounds. It's a weak…

No Orphan Black reminders until it's back, goddammit!

Kat Dennings as Jane Foster in Thor. Pretty much everyone's had more chemistry with her than with Natalie Portman.

Easy: Pedro Pascal, Doctor Strange.
