Salt. I kinda liked it and felt that there was more that was planned.

And it ended up being a very well done trilogy. I was NOT expecting that.

Back when it came out in theaters it was... underwelming. I remember going to the theater to see it. I left kinda wondering if it was good or just dreck. Pretty sure it did poorly in the theater and just limped along on video for a while until much later on, when it became a Christmas tradition.

Now... I'm glad they never brought it back or did spinoffs or anything else. I'm not sure who to thank, but "thank you".

I like to explain it as "The God of the Gaps". The idea that anything you don't understand you attribute to God's will. As scientific advances occur, the things you understand increase and the things you attribute to God become... smaller.

Just re-saw this episode a couple nights ago. It's still the greatest episode of Doctor Who (It's Season 3, Episode 10, Blink).

Great science fiction. Great closed-loop time travel. Great horror. Everything that makes Doctor Who great.

How about something simple: Why does gravity feel the same as acceleration?

Leave it alone and stay in the hut. It will die of hunger within a week.

Reverse also works. Wife bought a slow cooker and we're giving it (so we can get a bigger one) to my daughter and she is using it to make rice.

She's working on a recipe that will make rice that isn't too mushy, but she likes soft rice.
