Newt 'Rebecca' Jorden

The name of a character in the movie "Aliens", produced by 20th Century Fox. Portayed by Carrie Henn. Is an occupant of the "Hadley's Hope" mining colony on the planet LV-426. Has a brother named Timmy and is daughter of Ann and Russ Jorden. Was sent, along with her family to find an alien ship that contained alien parasites that killed their hosts and spawned new aliens. Was the only survivor of the alien attack that clamied the lives of the people in the colony. Newt can also fit into small spaces and crevices where the aliens can't reach her. Was rescued by a team of military personnel who came to the planet to investigate the status of the colony. Formed an emotional bond with Ellen Ripley, the fellow survivor of an alien attack. Was kidnapped by the aliens while escaping from Hadley's Hope and was almost impregnated with an alien embryo, but was saved by Ripley. Newt died when, coming back to Earth, her cryotube was flooded with water after the ship they had been travelling on was attacked by an alien and they were forced into escape pods that jettisoned to an isolated planet. However, she still survives in (the clone version of) Ellen Ripley's memories.

Newt Jorden: "They mostly come at night...mostly."

War of the Worlds

1) The name of a science-fiction radio series created by Orson Welles, that was infamous because it made people believe there was an alien invasion happening.
2) The name of a movie about aliens trying to invade Earth.
3) The name of a movie that will be released in 2005 starring Tom Cruise about aliens who try to take over Earth.
4) The name of a series that ran for two seasons in the late 1980's to early 1990's, about a government scientist who finds out aliens have come back to recapture the Earth, and along with a Navajo military colonel named Ironhorse, his computer hacker buddy Norton, and his partner Suzanne, they try to stop the aliens. Went all to hell in the second season when the producers killed off half the cast, (including all the visible minorities!) and added more T&A in order to get more ratings.

From the 1988 TV series:

Harrison: brainwashed "We've got to stop hurting the aliens!"
Ironhorse: "Hurting the aliens? I don't remember invading their planet!"

Space: Above and Beyond

A science-fiction/drama series created by James Wong and Glen Morgan, that lasted one season, and aired from 1995 to 1996. Follows a group of marine cadets as they form a military squadron called the "Wildcards" and take on extremely dangerous. The "main" character is Lt. Nathan West, who signed up because he wasn't allowed to go on a colonizing mission with his girlfriend Kylen Selina. Unfortunately, the craft Kylen was on was attacked by a race of unknown beings, who then come to be named "Chigs". In the final episode of the series, the Chigs struck a tentative peace treaty with the Earth government, but used a captured Chig to assassinate a group of high-ranking Earth delegates. The Wildcards managed to find the transport ship Kylen was being carried on, due to a trade agreement between the aliens and the Earth government, but the squadron were attacked by Chigs. In the end, two of the recruits were facing possible death as their escape pod drifted towards the surface of a planet, one recruit sacrificed himself to save the lives of everyone, and Nathan West finally found Kylen. In short, one of the greatest science-fiction shows ever.

"We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours. Until one night in 2063, on a Earth colony 16 light-years away, they struck. Now we're at war. We fight when called, in space, on land, and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat; to surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call... above and beyond."

Battlefield Earth

Possibly one of the worst movies ever made. In the movie, Earth's military forces get run over by Psychlos (guys who look like the Klingon variant of Jamaican people) and the Earth gets taken over. 200 years later, some guy named Jonnie 'Goodboy' Tyler gets captured by the Psychlos, who are SO stupid that they teach him how to read, write, and fly transport vehicles, so using his brilliant intellect, Jonnie goes to Fort Knox to get gold for the Psychlos, then goes to Fort Knox, where he gets fighter jets (that are still working after 200 years) and gets a guy to transport himself to the Psychlo home planet, where said guy nukes everything with ONE bomb. Killed John Travolta's acting career.

Terl (played by John Travolta): "It's all about leverage!"

2) A "Spider-Man" obsessed fan when he found out Peter Parker would have organic web-shooters in the movie.

All I have to say to you fanboys is, "Get a life!"
