    Props for featuring Ultraman. I rented the entire original series from Netflix (old DVD set) and I was surprised how much fun I had. I actually had watched the English dub on TV as a wee tot, and for the DVDs I watched with Japanese audio and subtitles. Since the dub was a pretty faithful translation, the stories were familiar. And as an adult I know that in the episode where Ultraman fights what looks like Godzilla, it actually IS the Godzilla suit (so ... I guess it's a cameo? :)

    I've mentioned on here a few weeks ago that I'd be willing to add more straight sci-fi to my Netflix Horror, Exploit, and Cult cinema new release lists if you guys were going to use them, but never go an answer. I'll throw the idea out there again just in case.

    As it stands, I've carried those list out to Nov. As titles are added to the NF database, I'll add them. just click to see what's doin': [www.netflix.com]

    I have a feeling that the BSG: The Plan DVD will not sell very well.

    @Roklimber: I won't be buying it - I really loved BSG up until the final episode - but I hated that final hour so much, it has poisoned my love for the series. I watched that finale three times, and with each watching my disgust kept growing. Now I can't stand to watch the series, or listen to the soundtrack, or even think about it. I can't explain it - as much as I loathe the Special Editions of the Star Wars films and as disappointed as I am with the Star Wars prequels I just feel a thousand times more let down by Ronald D. Moore than I ever was by George Lucas. That final hour of BSG negated everything that happened in the entire series.

    "...including at least 16 individuals known only as "Number Two"...

    I'm sorry - the only thing that pops into my head is Austin Powers shouting "Who does Number Two work for??"

    Wait...why ISN'T Number Two on here?

    Some of us prefer to refer to the Ho-Borg as 69, because that is a much more enlightening descriptor of her purpose on the show.

    Agent 355... *contemplative sigh*

    Brian K. Vaughn really set the bar so high with her, I just don't think anyone will ever create another character, numbered or named, that will come close.

    Talk about bad-ass...

    Seven of Nine might be disqualified, since her name on the set was the alphanumeric "44 of D". At least according to those of her castmates who attend conventions...
