This specific bit of "terminology" hasn't become ingrained with anyone but geeks and nerds.

This usage of the word "genre" is just fucking stupid. It's like calling all books published in the French language "language books".

Heh .. yeah, my SPOILERS!! note might have indicated more spoilers than I've posted. I'm sure they'll come. Here's one spoiler: A redshirt dies. :wtf: I'm mostly with you - I never cared about Berman ruining Roddenberry's universe. When watching old Trek, new Trek just didn't happen for me...

Hah. Seems like I got it a day earlier than everyone else. This whole thing was stupid. The idea was stupid, the plot was stupid, it never should have been done. But it was still rather fun, in an entirely not Star Trek way. Just for Simon Pegg alone, who was way too awesome to be a believable...

Well, maybe Torchwood does deserve a place in the top 25 Sci-Fi shows of all times. Which just goes to show that there haven't been very many Sci-Fi shows.

:guffaw:

A list putting Star Trek: TNG four places over Star Trek deserves nothing but or contempt.

They created this concept of a "split" crew, with all the Marquis people having actually been the enemies of Starfleet, yadda yadda yadda .. and something like three episodes in, everyone was huggy-luvvy-goody-cheery. :rolleyes: It started to suck there, and went only down from there. Remember...

I actually think the Voyager theme could be good, if it wasn't mentally connected to seven years of fighting gag reflexes.

The two coolest SciFi Theme Tunes ever are missing - The Prisoner, and .. Knight Rider. :p Dadadadadadadadadadada Dadadadadadadadadadada .. Dim da da da, dim da da da, dim da da da-da-daaaa

That would be Tegan. :p

I think "he" will be the Master - again. Which is a lot less scary than the foreshadowing was. :D Quite liked this one - nice surprise after the utterly rubbish Christmas special. The ZOMG-fuckup of the Dubai port authorities (damaging the bus when unloading it) fit the script perfectly.

Thread revival, as I seem to have been a year late with reading Ender's Game - which I just finished. Greatly enjoyed it, though I totally called the final plot twists half-way through. Hah! I've got Speaker for the Dead lying on my shelf, as I picked it up, with Ender's Game, at a flea market...

Seems like no one ever posted after the first episode - which sucked. Even if later episodes didn't suck nearly as much as the first one. Anyways, Ashes to Ashes will be back sometime later this month. Trailer HERE. Still not as hyped as I would be if this was Life on Mars, but definitely...

Even more ironic is that Jack, with his inaction, is responsible too.

Shh! He means this! ;) I don't think it's Christian propaganda. I just think it's a joke that'll be easier to appreciate for Christains.

I have NO idea what you're talking about. You win. :D Maybe I should have clicked that youTube link ..

That might be a better example if it wasn't a movie universially accepted to be utter shite from everyone everywhere, plot-wise :p God turning out to be a con-man isn't a plot device anyway. It's a plot. A really, really, REALLY bad plot.

Which fiction franchises DO involve god regularly?

Show me one piece of fiction in which the non-existence of god was used as a lame-ass plot device. :p
