Fifty years ago, humanity sent a radio tracking beacon through a wormhole as a test. When we couldn't locate it, we assumed wormholes weren't safe. Today, it came back through—with a note taped onto it.

"You dropped this."

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

I'm a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn't sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list -- though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I've lurked in over the years. For what it's worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I've been here for over a decade. But if there's anything that truly doesn't feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn't seem to find Goncharov among the website's listings)

The U.S.S. Reliant in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was the earliest Miranda-class starship shown on screen.  Fans have long speculated that the class existed in the time frame of the original Star Trek series.  This digital model by Prologic9 shows what a Miranda-class vessel may have looked like prior to the refitting of obsolescent Federation starships in the 2270s.
