The Freys are high up there, too. Nothing to the "Crasters" but still — one old man who does nothing but take wives, make babies. There's no implication that he goes in for incest but he's a nasty old man (even without the Red Wedding he's a nasty-spirited old fucker) and more than half his children are miserably…

Jake Sisko was color blind, right?

House Targaryen has got a significantly knottier (naughtier?) family tree, though.

does it count if you're your own grandpa?

Am I wrong? I remember that Burroughs was involved on some level and/or had signed off on the whole thing?

You know, at the time, I was being glib but I had some vague notion that I'd seen him in the past few years just "phoning it in," because to be honest he seems the kind of actor who might have gone that way — British, theatrical, known for over-the-top performances, kind of a cult-of-personality actor like Sean…

Also, bonus because in 2001 they were all flying Pan Am!

The more of these comments I read the more I am disappointed there is no Space Stewardesses show.

I don't know. Half the time it feels like Tim Curry's just pretending to be Tim Curry.

Wait. These are terrible ideas, I thought.

For some reason I loved that movie when I was younger. It's actually got a lot of really funny performances. Paul Reubens, Rutger Hauer, Donald Sutherland, even Luke Perry and David Arquette. (And Kristy Swanson.)

STATION.

Seriously. I took my girlfriend to see this in theaters. She still holds it against me. (I for one sort of enjoyed it.)

God, I love this movie. David Cronenberg, splitting the difference between weird body-horror Cronenberg and the artful, reserved Cronenberg that would follow (A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, etc) — Burroughs, adapted meta because that's the only way to adapt Naked Lunch — and Peter Weller! and Roy Scheider!…

"especially the vampire scene" I was expecting Paul Reuben's brilliant death-scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, back when that was just a movie:

This is totally what I thought of.

Hausu gets my vote.

Also, weird, but isn't this Richard Madden, aka Robb from Game of Thrones? Haha.

And then along came Voyager, and Rick Berman tries to hit the reset button on all that depth and insight.

But isn't that what utopia is? I think that's part of what the show's getting at. Roddenberry believed the Federation was a Utopia (or, that "humanity lives in a utopia now"). Inside the Federation, you're post-scarcity. But the entire galaxy isn't inside the Federation. Like ReD INSTeAD says, the Federation really is…
