    How Star Trek Made You All Better People Years Before JJ

    When Annalee shared her tale of how Star Trek changed her life on Wednesday, it paved the way for many other such recollections. Holster your snark phasers and see how Gene Rodenberry's creation affected lives. More »

    The Real-Life Superhero Apartheid Begins Here, Apparently.

    For some, the emergence of real-life superheroes is proof that human nature isn't inherently selfish, but instead, noble. And for others, it's a sign that they should become supervillains. You people make me proud. More »

    In Which Some Of You Are Sadly Mistaken About Enterprise

    You can disagree with Charlie Jane's list of the 10 most disappointing sci-fi prequels all you want, but as soon as you try to convince me that Enterprise was good? That's where you lose me. More »

    That's It, You're All Going To The Attic

    Fox pulls the last episode of Dollhouse and your reaction is... not what I expected. For all the people upset at Fox, there were probably more disappointed with Joss Whedon, weirdly (and fittingly) enough. More »

    It's Time To Face The Jazz Music, Sam Raimi

    Sam Raimi denies responsibility for Spider-Man 3, and you people? You tell him that he's apologizing for the wrong thing. Is there no way for this financially secure, successful, famous movie director to win? More »

    Nerd Is The Word

    Are you a geek or a nerd? Or neither, thankyouverymuch? Austin Grossman's pondering about whether or not it's time to drop the term "nerd" on Friday prompted much discussion, and not just about Answer 5. More »

    15 More Alternate Names For The SciFi Channel

    You people never let me down. I suggested 28* different names for the SciFi Channel to use instead of "SyFy," and you managed to come up with even better ones. Here're some of my favorites. More »

    In The Future, Buildings Must Be Tall And Fans Less Anal

    If I ever want to know just how dismissive io9 commenters can feel about (admittedly insanely anal) fanboy complaints, I now have a new favorite collection of examples: Star Trek's San Francisco Urban Planning post. More »

    Learn And Love Along With Your Fellow Commenters

    We don't usually use the power of Ourobouros for good, but this week, we're making an exception. Because, let's face it: If you can't allow commenters to educate us all, what use are they? More »

    When Blog Democracy Goes Bad

    You are all very, very sick people. Annalee listens to you complaining about the Heroes recaps every week, asks if you want her to stop doing it, and you all say "Keep going"? More »

    Battlestar's Original Revival Sparks More Interest Than You'd Think

    Friday's news that plans are apparently afoot for a movie based upon Glen Larson's original Battlestar Galactica series produced some opinions as unexpected as the news itself. There are really people who prefer the original? More »

    You Can't Believe A Man Can Fly In Bullet-Time

    Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the rumor that the Wachowskis may be rebooting the Superman movie franchise! And apparently, that's a lot of people's brand of cinematic kryptonite. More »

    Vagina-Faced Killers Need To Stay Old School, Apparently

    There are certain things that the io9 readership will put up with: snark, Annalee's kitten obsession, and my love of Clone Wars to name just a few. But the idea of Predator being remade? Nooooo. More »

    Lost: Your Love For Kate. Found: A New Doctor Who?

    Lost is back! Lost is back! Which can only mean one thing (Okay, it can mean many things, but I'm only interested in this one): Lynn returns with recaps, and you guys go nuts commenting. More »

    Apparently, Vampires Aren't Sexy. Or Interesting.

    Who would've thought? Annalee does a post about why vampires have a reputation for being sex machines, and the comments get filled with people who eagerly begged to differ. And not one mentioned James Brown! More »

    Unhappy New Year, Commenters!
