    "The Doctor might be an Emergency Medical Hologram, but he's more than just a bit of hardware." That's because he's not hardware at all. The Emergency Medical Hologram is software stored on Voyager's hard drive. He can also be downloaded into a mobile hologram emitter from the 29th Century.

    There's no director "Duncan Moon", his name is Duncan Jones.

    Deadpool should feature nonsensical flashbacks and flashforwards. AT THE SAME TIME.

    @tinky XIII: I agree... preferably with a flashback to a flashforward nested inside of a flashback, just to be extra confusing.

    A zombie comedy? They did that already. It was called Sean of the Dead, and it was pretty great.


    That's it, I'm calling it!
    No more zombies. No more vampires.
    We're good. We're all set.

    It saddens me deeply that there are only like three examples of mainstream scifi musicals, and one of them is J&H.

    In reply to Schizophrenic Jekyll Movies From The Same Studio?
    For some reason, io9 editors seemed fixated on the idea that schizophrenia means having multiple personalities. Charlie did the same thing when talking about mentally ill superheroes last week. Schizophrenia is defined as constellation of symptoms including delusions, magical thinking, paranoia and a loss of emotional response. What you're thinking of used to be called multiple personality disorder, now named "dissasociative identity disorder", which really only involves a person believing he or she is more than one person. Mr. Hyde's rather violent personality would be something else entirely; known as antisocial personality disorder, it describes the violent, empathy lacking figures often referred to broadly as "sociopaths" or "psychopaths". None of the three conditions have any relation to each other.

    @icelight: Good catch! He might have meant to imply that the studio was schizophrenic for having multiple Jekylls, which would be closer to correct (colloquially, anyway), but Jekyll himself is definitely not schizophrenic.

    @icelight: And fixation on a false idea is yet another. :)


    But, seriously, thanks for the correction. Whether it's called MPD or DPD, it'd be nice if people didn't use schizophrenic when they mean MPD/DPD.


    DPD: different personalities.

    Schizophrenic: voices in your head, etc.

    I'm not sure Keanu can pull it off. He's only really got one dimension to his acting, which works if he's a robot, or a pissed off demon hunter or 'the one' however as someone who would have to pull off two very different characters? Nah. Dr. Jekyll yes, Mr. Hyde? Definitely not.


    If anyone on here hasn't see Moffat's Jekyll, it really is recommended. James Nesbitt, who I'm not a big fan of, was utterly compelling as Jekyll and scary as hell as Hyde. Plus Michelle Ryan was in it.

    The Moffat version is amazing. I think my only sadness about Moffat getting tapped for Doctor Who showrunner is that it ensures that we will definitely not be getting a second series of Jekyll. Sad face.

    @ThisDudeRufus: actually that would be pretty awesome. He was surprisingly creepy in Mr. Brooks, where he played a serial killer. Even though the movie wasn't great, he was really very good and murderous.
