We asked Scott Lobdell, writer of the new Galaxy Quest comic, based on the comedy movie about actors who meet aliens who have taken their old science fiction show way too literally. After the jump, check out an exclusive gallery and find out it Fred and his alien love Laliari are still together, why they're back in space and if Gwen still has the ridiculous cleavage she sported in the movie.

And the best interstellar smack-downs start with the trash talking before a single shot is fired. Whether it's Kirk mocking Khan's superior intellect or Adama growling into the space-phone, nothing improves a shootout in space like a good calling-you-out speech. Watch our medley of clips, and then read our list of the greatest taunts and shouts of defiance in interstellar combat. More »

It wasn't until television became popular that producers decided to get in on the joke and start making comedies about science fiction — and those early shows gave birth to everything from films like The Three Stooges in Orbit to countless episodes of 3rd Rock From The Sun.

Title: Galaxy Quest
Date: 1999
