    Who in the world would read something like "The Day the Universe Came"?

    What I mean is does anyone have it because I want to borrow it.

    I tried, but couldn't identify the song playing in the car after Olivia's phone call. Anyone else have better luck?

    As for the Observers, I'm wondering if the one we've seen up until this point is assigned (or "fond of", in a sense) Peter -- because he was there to save Peter and Walter -- or Olivia -- because she's pretty obviously special in some major ways -- or both.

    Lol@ these covers. But... to me they are entirely appropriate. I may even purchase some of these titles.

    Number 2, most inappropriate: "Atomic sex and a deadly game of overlove as Peter Ward, C.I.A. superstud, swings into the torrid action."

    I laughed so hard.

    How is it that 'The Day the Universe Came' was never adopted for screen?

    @Belabras: now with Kung Fu grip!: What do you think Avatar is? Cameron changed it from bunnies to hairless cat girls, but the plot is about 95% percent there and not a single line of dialog is changed.

    Kudos to Cyriaque Lamar for coming up with "The Chippendales new routine really raised some eyebrows." as the copy for Num 23 in Cheesiest Book Covers. Personally i would go to that review.

    The cover for Conan the Conqueror is one of Frazetta's worst paintings. The fact that the example of Conan the Conqueror is a used bookstore (or even thrift store) copy with .10 written on it in Sharpie is priceless.

    "Those Sexy Saucer People"... that cover... my god it is brilliant and uncomfortable. I want to read it to see just exactly why the wonam is hiding her head in shame. (*hint*: anal)

    @dirtybacon: Bwahahahaha! Your hint was hilarious. At least it was to me, at the end of a very long work week. I really wasn't expecting that.

    These are the voyages of the Starship Intercourse, whose sexy mission is to seek out new worlds, bang alien babes and boldly fuck where no horndog has fucked before.
