Head and shoulder shot of 1970s era Captain Marvel from Marvel comics. His eyes are angry and red and his face has otherwise been completely replaced by stars planets. What look like a couple of exploding stars. Narration: “… And THIS man can protect it. For he is now COSMICALLY AWARE!“

Just described a noise my neighbour made as “like a dog backfiring”
No idea where that came from but that’s going in the phrase bank

"There's a man out there!"

First heard on October 11, 1963.

Celebrating 62 years of one of the most iconic Twilight Zone episodes ever aired: "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."

A toast to Richard Matheson and William Shatner for this piece of TV history!

As a woman pushes a girl from behind headfirst into a sink full of water, she says, “I couldn’t stop them, sweetheart. Hold your breath.”
Sound effect: “SPLUSH.”
“BLURRGH,” the girl takes in water.

‘Killing someone was one thing, but this was worse; there was no honour or morality in it at all…’

This character is the nadir of Doctor Who fiction for me. Ridiculously violent, unpleasant, childishly motivated, tedious and stupid.

This bloke spent two years making an 8ft wide, 75,000 piece Lego Deep Space Nine. But the upper and lower pylons don't have docking clamps and the crossover bridges don't line up with the outer docking ring—what a fucking load of shit!

Turn it off Mum, I don't want to look at it.
