  Need a ratings metric for your streaming program? The Mandalorian is the most-pirated TV show of 2020. Star Trek: Picard gets an honourable mention for finishing fourth in the list compiled by Bittorrent. https://t.co/P7CzjnP31y

  It isn’t New Year’s Day yet, so there’s still time to enjoy The Twelve Days of Star Trek: a Sci-Fi Christmas Carol.

  If you’ve topped your Christmas tree 🌲 with Baby Yoda, then you’re not alone. https://t.co/jL4oyC2207

  Never mind all those Star Wars and Marvel shows coming to Disney+, I’m more interested to learn that the service is partnering with a Nigerian-Ugandan animation studio to create an African #scifi series. https://t.co/88XGTRqWk7

  If this pandemic goes on any longer, I’m going to have to make watching every episode of Doctor Who a quarantine project. https://t.co/VIrCyE2jXK

  If you seek the definitive guide to the Doctor Who theme song, this is it! https://t.co/ZuP3QtxH5I

  Check out this interesting read from @tordotcom about why some #StarTrek fans dismiss the new shows as not being “real” Star Trek. It reminds me of the age-old debate about what constitutes “real” #scifi. https://t.co/C3Jo36mP9W

  Here’s how Covid fuelled the rise of adult cartoons like X-Files: Albuquerque and Star Trek: Lower Decks. https://t.co/IcjH1JBOln

  Does the world really need more Buck Rogers? The seminal #scifi character is reportedly returning to the big and small screen in the not-to-distant future. https://t.co/qG1odlCjaR

  Fox is moving forward with an animated comedy version of the long-running paranormal investigation series The X-Files. https://t.co/6CZyEYoGnA

  The TV adaptation of Iain M Banks’ #scifi Culture series has been cancelled which is probably a good thing because it’s one of those universes that would likely be hard to adapt for the small screen. https://t.co/7Bk2MfZV2Z

  The X-Files theme song never had lyrics, until now, as the show’s cast reunites to record a charity music video. https://t.co/XRH9MbaK3G

  Happy to see that ‘Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose’ tops TV Guide’s list of top 25 #xfiles episodes. What’s your favourite? https://t.co/McYjaIaxqu

    The first four, in order are:

    Home
    Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose
    War of the Coprophages
    Jose Chung’s From Outer Space

    Tougher for the fifth as there are so many I don’t want to exclude from the list but I’ll go with

    The Post-Modern Prometheus

      Those are all incredible episodes and it’s an impossible task to rank one ahead of the other. I really should embark on an X-Files re-watch some day.

  ‘Brave New World’ has always been one of my favourite #scifi #books, so I am interested in this new television adaptation of Huxley’s iconic work. https://t.co/dRi9zbbKpD

  Looks like we won’t be seeing season 13 of #DoctorWho any time soon, but at least there’s a New Year’s special to look forward to. Out of curiousity, was the Christmas special shifted to January 1 because it’s not tied to a religious holiday? https://t.co/5HUvNbIj8c

  This video is some kind of Star Trek: TNG supercut where everyone says “Some Kind of …”

  X-Files fans will be interested by this story that explains how a minor actor on the show went on to become one of the series’ most important writers. Among his scripts were the wonderful episode “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Response.” https://t.co/XbzteXnJ21

    Darin Morgan has always been my X-Files hero. Easily some of the best episodes made IMHO. Was stoked when I heard he was going to write one when they rebooted the series a few years ago. While I can’t say that episode, The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat, was a classic, it was certainly different.

  The BBC thinks #Snowpiercer is the perfect TV show for right now. As for the movie that inspired it, the review calls it “a volatile, socially-conscious mashup that plays as if George Orwell and Che Guevara had time-travelled to write an action movie.” https://t.co/7gCZKECANs

  Terry Pratchett's #Discworld #books are to receive 'absolutely faithful' #TV adaptations. We'll believe it when we see it. https://t.co/urp2aSz3GI
