    Ok, does anyone remember the story about a bunch of astronauts who land on a lovely monoculture of a planet? One type of grass, one insect, one cow-like thing that ate the grass and that the insect lived in. The cows would come over and keel over right in front of the astronauts, and eventually they decided to see if alien cow steak was any good.... with predictable ends-up-in-a-cocoon-then-becomes-an-alien-cow results.

    I need help with this. There is an old, John W Campbell era short story where a race of intelligent crustaceans try to invade earth. They attempt to infiltrate basically by canning themselves so they end up getting eaten as delicious lobsters and the humans win (typical for the era). Campbell may have even written it. Can anybody remember the title?

    If the Kandy Man doesn't turn out to be the approaching darkness threatening the entire universe in the Tennant finale, I'm going to be incredibly disappointed.

    I do note one substantial omission: Audrey from The Little Shop of Horrors. As far as i can tell she was also the only one of these that was part of a musical and as such should be revered with the cult status she holds.

    Nice Tick reference, but surely Man Eating Cow should be up there as well.

    Also, I suppose you could technically include the Skrulls that were tricked into assuming the shape of cows and then sent to a slaughterhouse in 'Skrull Kill Crew.'

    While they didn't directly eat humans themselves, their biomorphic Skrull DNA has the same effect on human brain tissue as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, effectively eating holes in the noggins of any poor schmuck who inadvertantly consumed their meat as hamburgers.

    No Thanksgiving is complete without inviting Kanamits (but I don't know how edible they are) to Dinner.
