The hottest stories and best comments of the week
Here's a list of our hottest stories (like the one about "one letter off" movie posters, above) and best comments this week, in case you missed anything. Consider it a theatrical re-release of your favorite film, SCI FI Wire.
Enjoy!
Our story: Syfy plans an American version of Being Human
Your best comment: I get remaking Spanish shows, French shows, Japanese shows, even shows from Latvia and Lithuania. But British shows? We speak English! We can already watch them just the way they are! ...
—Judd Nelson
Our story: Finally, we see the Klingons from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek
Your best comment: Klingons have never, ever worn helmets or masks. Just something else JJ had to change in order to stake HIS claim on what used to be Trek.
—Spaceman Spiff
Our story: Syfy has an historic October because of ... well, you
Your best comment: Great! So what's in it for us?
Some of those press kits would be nice?
How 'bout some of those light-up Sci-Fi (or did you change them to SyFy) pens?
Swag is appreciated.

Our story: The 10 most truly, utterly evil things in sci-fi
Your best comment: Harlan asked that I pass this on...
HARLAN ELLISON responds to BROOKS PECK:
Dear sir: I am quietly humble and proud to have found such estimable acclaim as the creator of the Number One most evil thing in all of science fiction, beating out MY choice for #1, Lovecraft's Cthulhu.
I must, with all courtesy, however, take exception to the inclusion of one of my great heroes, Galactus, on your list. The big guy ain't "evil," dude; he's -- as someone else posted -- just hungry. Amoral and needful of a cosmic Dunkin' Doughnut the size of the rings of Saturn don't make a mile-high epicure "evil."
—Respectfully, Yr. Pal, Harlan
Our story: Is Klingon viral video teasing a new Star Trek project?
Your best comment: Chinese Klingons? What the hell?
—jedimaster
Our story: 65 of sci-fi's most amusing "one letter off" movie titles
Your best comment: Jurassic Bark - Don't be standing near a tree when one of these needs to pee!
—JWalkIV
Our story: 20 hot film and TV witches and warlocks that cast a spell on us
Your best comment: The title "Hot" implies a level of beauty, sex appeal, and sophistication that would not normally be associated with most of this list. Yet they left out Monica Bellucci (who was a witch in the Brothers Grimm), a women who would probably win any poll you put. Especially among this list. Not too name names, but some of these can hardly be described as even moderately attractive.
—Sammy
Our story: 13 real haunted houses you can visit in the U.S.
Your best comment: The Winchester house was weird. I had a paranormal experience there. I walked in and $31 was wisked from my wallet!
—Obi Window Washer
Our story: Worst Indiana Jones scene turned into $174.99 collectible
Your best comment: Wait.
Wait.
That actually happens in the film? Sweet Jesus.
—Necronomic Recovery
Our story: ABC puts the first 8 minutes of V online. It's not bad!
Your best comment: And why is Juliette back in New York or wherever? Should she be back on the island running around wearing a low cut t-shirt and looking thoughtful?
—IronOre
Our story: Was Sanctuary's Ashley killed off? Should she be?
Your best comment: They should let her live so she can get in a lesbian relationship with Kate, like every other Sci-fi show is doing now.

Our story: 13 kick-ass moments from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Your best comment: Fire bad. Tree pretty. Beer foamy. Buffy good. Miss Buffy.
—Connor1138
Our story: J.R.R. Tolkien earns $50 million a year while still dead
Your best comments: The only reason he's still dead is for tax reasons.
—kryptoniteman
...
Your best comments: Tolkien's still dead all right. And he's a real jerk to work with! I was an intern for the corpse of Tolkien and as you can imagine he pays really well but he's still very rude. Constantly looming over my shoulder demanding brains...
