Jar-Jar Binks And 15 More Sci-Fi Movie Controversies. However, the list also also includes horror movies in the list, like Nosferatu, the Boris Karloff version of Frankenstein, Freaks, and The Exorcist.

Passive Aggressive Library Signs

The 12 Most Tragically Lost Doctor Who Adventures.

From Cracked: The 7 Most Soul-Crushing Series Finales In TV History. Good to know that I’m not the only one that remembers the sitcom Dinosaurs. I don’t think I watched the series finale, though. I loved David the Gnome, but somehow I missed their finale, too. I’m surprised they didn’t mention the finale for Xena.

Nathan Fillion discusses his lightsaber and when he tried to get into a battle with it, on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He appeared on the show earlier this week.

The topic of the Fear Street books was brought up over at ontdcreepy. I loved those books—however, my favorite R.L. Stine books were the Evil Cheerleader novels. The First Evil, The Second Evil, The Third Evil, The New Evil. And a fourth one I haven’t read called The Awakening Evil.

ALF was sort of WTFish but it's not their fault because they intended it to be a season finale, not a series finale, and I usually give those a pass... I think it should only apply to ones where it was meant to be the end.

Never saw the David the Gnome, but it seems almost sweet rather than soul-crushing. Kids have to learn about death sometime.

Because of all the crossovers, St. Elsewhere singlehandedly rendered several dozen TV shows as fiction-within-fiction, since if those characters were all an autistic boy's fantasies, when they suggested they were in the same universe with other shows, all of THEM must have been too. ;)

I would have added Forever Knight, because that was... well, that was pretty WTF.

The Dinosaurs ending was so sad, like epically sad.

It's been a long time since I read Christopher Pike's Last Vampire series. But from what I remember about those, I have to agree.
