Children of Men
Well, technically, he is still dead. The version they met at the diner 200-something years younger than the one at the beach, so his death just hasn't happened yet. Unless they can change events, the doctor will still die 200-odd years in his personal timeline.
However, it looked more like a suicide than anything else, so there's definitely a reason behind it all.

The world has lost a great companion. RIP, Elisabeth Sladen. You are irreplaceable.
I haven't read the books and was pretty excited for the show, but I can't say i liked it all that much. It actually made me more intrigued to read the books as waiting week to week seems pretty daunting. I was so overwhelmed with all the characters they introduced. If it wasn't for HBO's viewers guide, I would've had no idea what was going on and who was who. Even some brief narration would have helped a ton.
Also, Viserys is just so creepy. When I realized he was Son of Mine from Doctor Who, I almost cried. Such a creepy, creepy looking man!

I just got out of the movie an hour ago and I still don't know what to think of it. Most of the movie I was just sitting there with a grumpy confused look on my face because everything just seemed way beyond my "fucking impossible" meter.
Massive spoilers ahead! Seriously, skip this post if you haven't seen the movie.
From what I understand, he's not really jumping back into a collection of dead people's minds, but instead jumping into alternate realities with slight differences (I believe he said "This train is the same but it's different" the second time he was put into the source code). However, if this is true, doesn't that basically mean that he's jumping into the body of poor Sean and using it as he pleases?
For most of the movie it doesn't matter since Sean would've died anyway, but then he decides he wants to save Christina and live happily ever after (despite the fact that she digs Sean and not him) instead of dying in his reality. That seems like a huge dick move. Poor alt-alt-alt-alt-alt-Sean gets his body taken over by some douche who wants to bone some woman he just met and we don't even know what happens to the guy!
I also feel bad for all those other alts that got the shit beat out of them right before they blew up.
End of spoilers! :D
Oh and one last thing, the future-super-Metra would never be that clean. Who are they trying to kid? pfffffft.

@TemporalSword: I saw the show first and just started reading the comic last week. I was enjoying the show for a while, but now I gotta say that I really really enjoy the comic a lot more. I wouldn't have a problem with a show if they made an effort to include some of the wonderful things from the comics such as characters and plot.
The comic is has pretty definite arcs, so it wouldn't be hard to space it out over several seasons and still be faithful to the material. I'm actually a little sad now, from reading the comic, knowing that a lot of these scenes might not make it into the show.
My only other problem with the show is that Rick just seems too goody-goody. I know it's only been six episodes, but by the time they left the campsite in the comic, Rick's demeanor had started to change. There's still a lot of time to change that, but I don't know if I can bring myself to watch another season to find out.
Then again, I'm one of the people who hated Children of Men because it was nothing like the book. :P

No more Sam Adama? NO MORE SAM ADAMA!?

Dead Like Me.
The first two seasons were great and then poof, it was cancelled. It got a direct to dvd movie that pretty much shat over everything the show had built upon. The only good thing was the awkward resolution with George and Reggie.
Also, fake Daisy Adair was absolutely horrible. Ughhhhhh.

@Dope_danny: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I can easily say that Power Rangers in Space had the best theme ever. I love that song so much.
The Astro Delta Megazord was one of my favorite christmas presents when it came out. I played with that one and the ones from the movie (because they were metallic) all the time.
I miss being a kid. :(

@danielcarrus1: The clock is "blackcashmere." Click hide background in the main BW menu and set your weather skin to "none" and it will look exactly like that.
@bluehinter: I'm so ridiculously jealous right now, you have no idea.
Where can I find a marvelous poster such as that!?

I've been hurt by Fuller's TV shows way too many times! Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, etc!
I can't take being hurt again!

The Secret of Nimh one just goes to show how batshit insane that movie was. It melted my 5 year old mind when I first watched it.
The only sex bot I need. Siiiigh
This novel was my introduction to Asimov about 4 or 5 years ago. I remember sitting to on my dad's recliner reading the end of the second section and shouting out loud "HOLY SHIT!" I think that was the first time I had ever sworn in front of my parents, but that twist really got me.
Also, is it just me or did anyone else visualize the soft ones as those Trisolians from Futurama ("My Three Suns")? The fluidity of the actions described (particularly the sex/fusion/masturbation part) made me think of them almost instantly.

Horror? Bioshock is more of a dark drama than a horror. Splicers may be kind of creepy, but they're hardly scary.
Honestly, the best parts of the Bioshock games are collecting the recordings to learn more about the history of Rapture and its inhabitants.
Another part of its greatness is the way it allows the viewers to soak in the wonders of an underwater city. The opening to Bioshock 1 is one of the greatest openings to a video game I've ever seen. I get chills every time I see that bathysphere go above the rocks.
If they can capture those elements in the film, I think it would do alright.
