Doomsday was fine while I was watching it, but afterwards, the more I thought about it, the more it fell apart.

I took a few days to get it done. If it was all in one sitting, I probably wouldn't have dreaded when I started it up each time.

I received my prize today. Thanks again.

Got the prizes from SWV today. Guess there's no Atomic Brain prize.

To answer my own question from earlier this month: 2010: The Year We Made Contact FTW


Also alternate history movies other than:

Back to the Future
Timeline
Mystery of the Crystal Orb
Time After Time
Spirit of 76
It Happened Here
Fatherland
Inglourious Basterds
C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America
2009 Lost Memories
Timequest
It's a Wonderful Life
Blind Chance
Sliding Doors
Run Lola Run
Me Myself I
The Butterfly Effect
Groundhog Day
Frequency
Source Code

?

Off the top of my head, I believe these would also qualify:

District 9
Never Let Me Go
Watchmen

Perfect Creature

Even though I've owned the DVD of Season One for ten years, I don't think I've actually seen an episode of The Outer Limits. This seems as good a time as any to dust it off.

You're talking about the original B&W series? If so, you are in for a treat. Start at the beginning; "The Galaxy Being" is a fine start.

Just saw Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter at the dollar theater. What fun eye candy! It took itself a lot more seriously than I thought it would - especially for such a silly concept.

I took found Doomsday to be disappoining.

Just now getting back into the sci fi challenge with Gamera vs Gyaos.

Wait, why are you directing this to me?

I dont think I've mentioned that travesty of a film on this forum in years. I may give it a second shot someday, but I'd probably have to be drinking.
I envy you, although I really haven't seen much of it in my lifetime either. Maybe 20 or so episodes total on cable repeats back in my childhood. I have the dvd sets unopened, but just bought the videos on Amazon as they had both seasons for $4 each. Maybe I'll watch some of that tonight.
I caught one of the Rebirth of Mothra films on cable today. Cheesy goodness!

I watched the first six episodes today, and enjoyed every one, so I'll likely keep going.

I think he was spelling out the spoiler instead of relying on the tags since you often read the updates in e-mail rather than on site

Ah, good extension. I must point out though that Demolition man was set in the Future 1997 & beyond so doesn't qualify. And I am not sure how Akira would count but if it does that is the one I want for this check.

Also any good streaming Arthurian Fantasies?

I got all of those using the "advanced search" at IMDB on "feature films" with the "keyword" as "Alternate History". Once using Science Fiction and a second run with Fantasy. I got the last 4 from Wikipedia. I left off several from each search simply because I was not familiar with them so you could get a few more from a repeat of the searches.

IMDB lists "Alternate History" as a sub-genre for Demolition Man and it's returned in that advanced search which implies it's OK, but Mister Peepers has the final say.

For Akira, Wikipedia says:
That wording screams alternate history IMHO, plus it's a return on one of the IMDB searches.

Ah, that's so sweet. I'll name my first baby chick Mister Peepers in his honor.

I'd add Pleasantville to that list.

I've been up since early this morning, so I've been on a marathon today. Right now, I'm watching the Giorgio Moroder version of Metropolis. Sure, the movie is butchered (although it was as good a reconstruction as could be done in 1984), but I love the 80s soundtrack.

So I'm watching Lexx and come to the episodes The Web and The Net. After just a few minutes of The Net I'm thinking I've seen *most* of this... didn't all of this just happen in The Web? I finish the episide anyway, all the way through feeling I've already seen it, and start checking the two. If it were not for the opening credits showing the episode # and title I'd have sworn the author of the DVD had put the same episode on the disk twice simply because all the *major* scenes were re-used! Without doing a time check I'd say as much as 70% was recycled for The Net. It took a read up on the synopsis of the two before I discovered The Net "fills in the background material, explains various plot threads, and introducing others from The Web." Frankly, The Net felt like a typical rip-off clip show due to all the recycling of the exact scenes from The Web. I truly felt like I'd wasted a bit over an hour (episode run time plus attempting to figure out what the heck was going on) with The Net.

Then they follow that deja-vu inducing duo with Brigadoom. I do not care for musical episodes of non-musical TV programs. At least the "dialog" filled in back-story but overall it truly felt like a case of the writer(s) wanting to show they can do "musical" formats too. I felt the same way about those "Opera" episodes of Xena.

Here's hoping the last 2 episodes of Season 2 are better than the previous 2.

For the checklist, if imdb calls it that, I won't argue even if it does seem like a stretch.

When it comes to the day that laps over between this and the historical challenge, I'd be more strict and require it to meet the three rules that Steven Silver says is required for something to be called Alternative History:

You will need to get used to retreads, Lexx does that a lot but still worth the watch.

Decided to break into my Lost in Space sets. Watching the pilot episode right now. Interesting how Dr. Smith evolved over the series.

Krull, both dark & Arthurian Fantasy?
