One of my favorite sci-fi conventions is the talking robot sidekick. I love when a little robot guy has funny quips and one-liners, and has a personality of its own.

It’s important to have friends to share your fandom with because it makes everything more fun. Sure, it’s a wonderful thing to cozy up with your trusty Dune DVD on a cozy Sunday night all by your lonesome, but it’s even more fun to make giant worm cupcakes with your gal pals. Or to attend …

Of all the sci-fi inventions that I wish could come to life, the time machine is probably the one I feel the strongest about. Yes, it would come with its moral quagmires and space-time-altering conundrums, but it sure would be fun. The first thing I would do with a time machine would be to go …

How come, in science fiction, aliens usually look like bipedal green or gray guys with big heads? Why has that become the accepted image of an alien in our culture?
