It was clearly the sound of the temporal core of a time ship from the future exploding, thereby creating a hole in the space time continuum.
Technically, Bender was his evil twin.
It's worth mentioning that the actor who played Biff in "I Dream of Jeannie" was Michael Ansara, Barbara Eden's then husband. He's probably best known for playing Kang in the original "Star Trek" series as well as in DS9 and "Voyager" years later.

Incidentally, the Intendant would be my personal favourite.

He wasn't really evil though. Just a bit misguided really.
Prime went out of business in 1992. Not even the Doctor could save it!
Nothing with a dog that adorable can possibly be a travesty.
Reginald D. Hunter probably wouldn't agree with that assessment.
Plus we might find more cool stuff like the Antikythera mechanism.
I'll have to check this out when I have the time.
I'm attending the University of Edinburgh at the moment, actually. To the best of my knowledge, none of the medical lecturers are advocating that its students engage in experiments designed to resurrect late US presidents but you never know what some of them might be doing on the side.

It would have been appropriate though had the country's first president to join the ranks of the dead become the first to have joined the ranks of the undead.

Anya's death in the last episode of "Buffy", as with Damar's in the last episode of DS9, may have been more realistic in one sense in that not everyone who is killed in wartime dies in a grand gesture of noble self-sacrifice but, considering both series are predominantly about entertainment, I have to say that I found their deaths to be hugely unsatisfying. When characters have to die (particularly in a series' final episode), they should do so in a blaze of glory. All of the other deaths in "What You Leave Behind" were great. Damar's death was one of the few missteps in DS9 during its last two seasons.
Dr. Ball deserves his own show.
Being quoted in an article about the most undignified deaths in science fiction and fantasy shouldn't really be the proudest moment for a law school graduate but it is in my case.
I wouldn't want to cross the weird looking guy with the crown, whoever he is. I assume he's from "Game of Thrones".
A lovely tribute to Andreas Katsulas.
A great summary of a wonderful show. Well done, io9!
"She may even be president."

I can imagine all the gold ol' fashioned 1950s era sexists spitting out their coffee in disgust at that line. Those men of a more fair minded nature would have merely laughed uncontrollably.
