I Love It When A Plan Totally Doesn't Come Together
It happens to the best dashing science fiction hero: You come up with a preternaturally clever plan to stop the bad guys, involving a totally cunning bit of MacGyvering or hustle... and it totally fails. Your super-gadget blows up. Or your allies flake. The bad guys turn out not to be total idiots. Or all the random variables you totally had a handle on turn out different. It's what you do after your cunning plan fails that separates the good guys from the great guys. Here are our favorite failed plans. More »

7 Totally AWESOME Theories Of Evolution From Scifi
If Ben Stein really wants to convince us all that evolution is a crock, he doesn't need to make a documentary and play semantic games with Richard Dawkins.

Date: 1995-2001
Vitals: In the fourth Star Trek series, a starship is tossed to the far side of the galaxy and has to find a way home. (This happily disregards the highly stupid Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, which established the center of the galaxy as being about two hours away, or an hour and half if you don't hit traffic.) It's notable for being the first Trek series with a female captain, and also the most reviled of the shows from the first episode onwards. While there's probably a connection there, it doesn't help that the first few seasons were horribly written. More »
