What are the words you don't want to hear in a sci-fi show?

The key part was "spoken in cheesy lines."

In most of those movies, saying the movie title at some point was pretty much unavoidable.

I know. Especially in Gran Torino. Its unavoidable. Except the singing at the end.

"To be continued.........NEXT season"

For the best examples check out Blake's 7 and Space:Above and Beyond.

I'm still waiting the next season of Space:Above and Beyond and John Doe. :(

"Only on Fox"

"I Love you but we can never be together."

"H-how do you pilot this [eight story super robot that can change between five different modes going at mach speed, survive nuclear explosions, and as many complex moving parts as the human body and needs to be perfectly synched and coordinated with the pilot]??"

"Just grab that stick and make manly noises! Yaargh!"

you know...this whole list is kind of dubious since I'm sure deep down we like these word we don't wanna hear :)

Not so much words heard in a show, but words heard about a show:

"We chose (director) due to his music video/special effects background."

"We started filming before the script was finished."

"We started filming before the script was finished."

Yeah, that one is pretty bad in any film and becoming more common.

Just as bad is "We shot five different endings".

- We need more guns!

- We need more ammo!

- We're down to only a few rounds! We need to hold this ground! (Defenders miraculously survive the onslaught of incoming waves of aliens, soldiers or pinky cuddly fluffies, with whatever ammo they have left and still have spare to take another million more opponents.)

- We need more firepower!

I'm paraphrasing here, folks.

From a Rutger Hauer movie.

Going throgh the police aromory after meeting a big mofo alien on the flooded streets of London: "We need bigger f*cking guns, bigger f*cking guns. Too f*cking small..."
