To mark the launch of its new game, Stratego Sci-Fi has surveyed more than 2,000 Britons to chart the Stratego Sci-Fi 100 – the nation’s top 100 stars of the sci-fi world – as well as a separate poll charting the best sci-fi battles from the silver screen – and has crowned Superman the greatest sci-fi character of all time
Following up the Man of Steel in 2nd place in the Stratego Sci-Fi 100 was Harrison Ford’s gruff but lovable rogue Han Solo, with Frank Oz’s jedi master Yoda coming third, both representing Star Wars in the top three and rounding it out firmly in George Lucas’ favour. Steven Spielberg’s E.T may be one of the most lovable characters of all time, but only made it to fourth in the list, followed by Will Smith’s Agent Jay from the hugely popular Men in Black series at number five.

There was a point during the latest “found footage” film, Crowsnest, where I actually contemplated never watching a horror film again. About half an hour into this derivative and aggressively annoying backwoods thriller, I paused the DVD and took a short, dark tea time of the soul. (In this instance, it was coffee.) Five self-involved 20-somethings on their way to a remote cabin in the woods are terrorized by an Rv. All of this, naturally, is captured by a hand-held video camera that is kept running even in the most dire of situations. Making the experience all the more insufferable was the monotonous dialogue highlighting my biggest pet peeve in this genre: confusing antagonism for drama.
These characters, four of whom are coupled, clearly do not like each other. Whatever their relationship, they find easy annoyance with any thought or action not their own. Pity poor Kirk (Asiam Husain), who...

Rodney (David Hewlett) complains about Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) not letting him hold the baby, after he dropped him. Rodney was dropped when he was little. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) "that explains a lot." The Daedalus arrives at Atlantis but there's no one on board. The actual Daedalus is on its way to earth so this one isn't their one. They fly to the ship and find scorch marks underneath it. As well as an energy reading. Inside there's an abandoned jumper and it's cold. I said that jumper was theirs, as will be explained later. Rodney analyzes the ship and finds it's him, "think there's a ghost on board." The log entry shows the ship was abandoned by Commander Sobol, whom Sheppard doesn't know nor has heard of. The energy reading fluctuates and the ship jumps into hyperspace. They can't reach Atlantis and Lorne (Kavan Smith) can't reach them, either. Rodney exclaims the city isn't there.
