So there we go. You have one wish, and it has to be nerdy. That's it. Want to collect some super-rare Japanese toy they made five of in 1995? Wish you hadn't drawn over that copy of Amazing Fantasy #1 your dad gave you when you were 6? Want to resurrect one of the myriad great sci-fi shows Fox has canceled over the years? Want to make sure that I, Rob Bricken, have the opportunity to rape the skulls of all Fox executives, yet escape for my crimes? Let me know.
The contest ends at 12:01 am on Monday, July 20th, EST, and I should let you know that because I'll be at the San Diego Comic Con next week, there won't be a TR contest next Friday. I'll make up for it by giving away a ton of shirts at the con, though. More TR@SDCC details to come next week!

...My nerdiest wish would be to have a magical TV Tuner card attached to a PC with a 100TB hard drive array and a Blu-Ray burner with unlimited recordable BRDs. What would make this system so magically special is that the Tuner card would not only be able to receive TV signals from any channel in any format at any time since TV signals have been first broadcast, but it would be able to tune in channels from parallel universes where our favorite shows were never canceled, and I can watch *and* download all those programs for posterity and historical research.
...Imagine being able to watch all of the coverage of the Kennedy Assassination from start to finish, and then have a copy to share with those also interested in contrasting and comparing how the three networks and even the BBC handled the tragedy? Or, for a more happy note, the coverage of Apoolo 8 and/or Apollo 11, especially the BBC's coverage which doesn't exist anymore save for a few short segments? Or all those lost episodes of Til Death Do Us Part, Doctor Who or Dad's Army?
...And then there's all those shows that got canceled that we watched in the past. Wouldn't it be fun to see how they would have turned out if they'd been allowed to continue? Imagine another five or ten seasons of I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek, or even a post-divorce I Love Lucy? The sheer amount of new entertainment is only limited by the number of parallel universes that actually developed TV!!

Then after I was spent I'd wish them farewell, and to come back anytime. Then as a personal favor to me, I'd ask them to seduce Yellow Flower Boy as well, because Megan Fox isn't good enough.

I wish my one true love were real. I was one year old when Star Wars came out. Out of all the wonderful things in that movie,the one thing that caught and has held my heart for all these years is the ever-loving Millenium Falcon. As a kid I was interested in NASA until about the age of ten...I just KNEW in my heart that one day Corellian Stock-Light Freighters would be a reality and by god I needed to know how to pilot one. I finally gave up when I realized that the lame-ass Space Shuttle was as good as it was gonna get. To this day though,deep down in my heart,I wish I could just walk out my back door,see the Falcon waiting for me,and just hop in and leave the earth behind....until it broke down and I died in the cold depths of space. I dont care if it is a piece of junk...I still want one!

That, or have any car near Michael Bay turn into a robot and start peeing on him. That would be good too.

This is one is easy. But it requires a bit of set-up.
Two years ago my friends were going to start watching David Lynch's Twin Peaks on DVD. I vaguely remember the show being a big sensation when I was much younger. But, I was never allowed to watch it when it was originally airing because it was on after my bedtime. But, being an adult now, I scoffed at bedtimes and now could enjoy this television show through the power of technology.
Had I known what was going to be unleashed on me I would have never begun watching to begin with. What I beheld in Twin Peaks, was the single funniest, scariest, most entertaining show ever to be broadcast. Having watched it I realized that we wouldn't have shows like Lost, X-files, and countless others were it not for Twin Peaks.
The main mystery of "Who killed Laura Palmer?" was solved half way through the second season. It was a satisfying and emotional conclusion. The show continued and picked up a new storyline that took the supernatural slant on the show and ramped it up leading up to the most soul-crushingly awesome cliffhanger in history of serialized storytelling. And it made the show EVEN MORE awesome! However, most of America didn't feel the same way. The ratings suffered and ABC didn't renew the show. David Lynch in typical Lynchian fashion felt jilted and refused to let anyone know what he had planned in the third season.
But! A movie was going to be made! Surely this would be the answer! Surely this would tie up all the remaining plot threads! Wrong. What was released was a quasi-prequel with scenes that could or could not be construed as conclusions to certain dangling storylines.
For the sake of clarity, imagine if Lost was canceled after the episode where that light started to shine from inside the hatch. That's maybe the closest I can come to helping someone understand what Twin Peaks fans have had to live with for 19 years. And I have for 2.
So, for my one nerdy wish, I wish that David Lynch would make Twin Peaks season 3 and give us die-hard Twin Peaks fans some relief. Heck I don't even need a tv show. I would be happy with a comic book, a movie, a webseries, David Lynch's Pre-Production notes! Something! Anything! PLEASE!

I wish I had the ABSOLUTE BEST KNOWLEDGE, to create the Silver Centurion Ironman made of only soda cans, and make it mobile and smooth, no rough edges, and just plain perfect.

to have comic book representatives in hollywood to oversee comicbook adaptations for movies.
green lantern or sinestro corps power ring
the ability to go back in time to erase the existence of the Matrix sequels thus keeping The Matrix alone in all its glory.
But the one I feel to be my most magnificent dream is to have the Doctor from Doctor Who show up at my house to take me away on adventures. Now i know what your thinking. Willroy, that is quite possibly the gayest wish ever. he only ever takes young girls or fag-hags with him. are you a pretty little girl or even a fag-hag? Well no goddammit! not anymore! And shame on you for not thinking that it would be the sweetest gig ever to go around all of time and space. Plus after he gained my trust he would then introduce me to his fake/clone daughter daughter of his and we would then procede to fuck all over the universe making little time-lord/human babies so as too ensure the sperior race's population everywhere and everywhen. sorry that came off a little racist towards the end there, but point remains the same. to go kick alien asses all across space and time.
and if that is just too imposible then i would just want to have an electric screwdriver, MUTHA FUCKAS!!!

I wish I could use the Jedi Mind Trick and that it was guaranteed to work on everyone, not just the weak minded.
Just think how powerful that one simple ability could be. I would walk into the Fox TV Network, wave my hand and say, "I am the new head of this network, you will all do as I say" and it would happen.
I would sign Futurama to a long term contract and would bring the original cast in, complete with raises for all. I would bring back Firefly, and Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would only hire "A class" directors and talent for future comic book based movies. X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 would make the Dark Knight look like an amateur film by comparison.
I would even work with Paramount to develop a brand new kickass Star Trek TV show, because we've gone far too long without one.
Then, at the Oscar after party for Wolverine 2's record setting 15 oscar wins (including best picture), I would walk up to both Michael Bay and Stephen Sommers, wave my hand and say "Go fuck yourself until you die".
I'd go on to do a great many other things too, but this post is long enough already. All I'll say is this, it would become a new age of enlightenment as far as geek entertainment is concerned.

I know you'll all probably laugh at me for this, but I don't care.
I wish for Kagami Hiiragi, from the anime Lucky Star.
Not for perverted reasons, either. I fell in love with Kagami because of the way she desperately tries to be the normal one among her freak-show friends, and because of how sad and lonely she is underneath.
Kagami is a perfectionist, always having to be the best at everything. She also has a massive inferiority complex, and is secretly terrified of being separated from her friends, no matter how much they may get on her nerves (which is frequently). She dreams of finding a person who will understand her, and see through the sometimes harsh and sarcastic front she puts up.
In short, I fell for Kagami because I completely relate to her character. Every action she takes seems true to me, and thus she feels more "real" than any anime character I've ever seen. I totally understand her, and to me that's better than any number of girls throwing themselves at me.
So, mock me if you will, Topless Robot readers. I'm fully aware that it's sad and pathetic to be in love with an anime character, particularly from a series as light and silly as Lucky Star. Maybe I just need a healthier outlet for my geekery, or maybe I just need to get a life.
It doesn't matter. My One Nerdiest Wish is for Kagami Hiiragi, because for whatever messed-up reason, despite all my flaws, and despite my small, lonely, pathetic life... I think she would understand me, too.

This is a tough contest. There are so many regrets I have towards the mistreatment of my loves in life. What I wouldn't give to see Alien vs Predator, or even the post Aliens sequels done justice. Likewise, Terminator post T2, or Harry Potter post Chamber of Secrets, or a Transformers and GIJOE that don't suck so bad they makes my retinas bleed. Oh Soundwave, you never deserved such treatment. Oh god, and the horrors of the video games to movie translations: Dead or Alive, Street Fighter, Mario Brothers, Double Dragon, Blood Rayne (think anything by Uwe Bowell)... I'd have been content with at least a Silent Hill token level of fan appreciation for all my game to movie translations.
I'm afraid my one wish has to go to a more selfish cause than those. I'd like nothing more than to have the original cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Vegas) remain after season 7. I love Laurence Fishburn, but losing Gary Durden, William Peterson, and even to a much lesser extent Jorja Fox did irrepairable damage to the series. The quality of season 9 was just... It was a mess. The magic the series had was thanks to phenominal writing and casting. This series was the cast, and without them, the series is just as mediocore as its spin offs (which have phenominal leads but no supporting cast worth their weight in dead hamsters for the lead to make magic with). Yeah, so there we go. CSI with the same cast for as long as the writers could keep the show awesome. This is the ONLY TV show I can stomach and actually love from this decade. To see it go the route it did between the course of 2 seasons is like watching a good friend die.

THEN, and ONLY then, we have that long awaited smurfette, daphne, velma, Josie and the pussycats orgy before screwing my way across the female cartoon world.

fuck Leeloo from The Fifth Element (preferably before she wears that ghastly orange get-up),
fuck that chick who was in that best cosplay cleavage list a while back who had the fantastic gajongas,
make passionate, sweet love to Shoko Nakagawa,
and watch Astrid Farnsworth from Fringe fuck another chick, because the actress is a lesbian in real life. Respect.
OH...and maybe get a girlfriend (any girl will do).

This is simple.
I would wish for two movie projects to be done perfectly, following the book almost word-for-word.
The first? "I Am Legend" No CGI monsters. No borked ending. No other living people. No stunt casting.
The second? "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
I love Blade Runner, but it's not the book. It's quite far from the book, and I think it's about time someone shot a version of Dick's novel that includes all the subtext and questions about religion, sexuality, morality, and humanity. Something that does seek to dazzle with action, but focuses on the deeper story.
Why? Because for some reason, when scifi goes to film, it almost always loses the depth and intelligence, and becomes an action flick. For once I'd like to see a scifi film based on Dick's work that is as cerebral as his writing, without gimmicks, car chases, explosions, or long gun battle scenes.
I want American scifi to show its brains for once.

Rubeck said:
You know, many times in my life, I actually wished that life were more like a Bioware-ish RPG. By getting this single wish, several things would improve, but I'll list just the top 5.
1. Parking lots
Pretty much every time I go out somewhere, I forget where exactly my car was parked... But if life were an RPG, I'd probably have a sweet minimap at the top right corner of my vision all the time to guide me, showing which direction my car is.
2. Courting
Wanna talk to that cute girl over there, but don't know what to say? Don't worry, go there and do it anyway. A menu with 4-5 options (on average) will suddenly appear and then you can just choose whatever line you like best, knowing that at least one of them has to be the "right" thing to say. Courting would basically come down to a multiple choice test. Personally, I suck at talking to strangers and suck even harder at flirting (despite being quite good-looking, I'm impossibly shy), but multiple choice tests? Pretty damn good at those.
3. Trading
Any shop will buy anything. Go nuts, sell your old worn-out clothes to the gun shop owner, pocket lint to the guy in the fruit stand, old books to the hardware store. They'll buy it all, no need to put your crap on ebay or do a garage sale and have to deal with annoying costumers.
4. Remembering the groceries
Ever happened to you that you were going to do something, but then forgot what it was? And obviously you didn't write it down anywhere either because you thought you wouldn't forget it. Not anymore! Now everything goes into your quest log automatically, whether you like it or not, and doesn't leave that place until you either finish it or fail completely.
5. Preventing mistakes
Two words: save/load. As an added bonus, even when things work out perfectly, you can still load a previous file and try to fuck everything up to see what would've happened just for giggles.

To be honest my one nerdy wish would be for an Official copy of Star Wars Episode III on VHS. I sure many don't remember (or care) that when Star Wars Episode III was released for home, it was not released on VHS (or at least it wasn't in America). It's not for purpose of watching it because I do have all the movies on DVD already. I just would love for that to happen because my other 5 Star Wars VHS are lonely with out their 3rd brother.

You're using your "Make A Fictional Girl Real" wish on Kagami? Id use my "Make A Fictional Girl Real" wish on Haruhi Suzumiya. If being a genki tsundere high school girl voiced by Aya Hirano wasn't enough, she also happens to be GOD. If h-doujins are a credible source of information(and they are), then you can live out a lot of your fantasies by having her read, watch, or play something. Want to turn into a pretty girl? Have her read a TG doujin. Want to get real healthcare reform and prosecute the Bush administration for their war crimes? Watch The Ed Show and Countdown with Keith Olbermann with her. Want to make magic real? Introduce her to the Touhou series. Whatever it is, she can make it happen and it'll usually end with Mikuru getting Loved Tenderly by her.

This is easy:
I'd travel back in time to 1995 or 96 to the Skywalker Ranch, armed with the reviews for and copies of Star Wars Episodes I, II and III, and convince George Lucas to do the prequels entirely differently: start Episode I with Anakin at age 18 or so, remove the midichlorian thing, remove Jar Jar Binks, and just change the story almost entirely from there on out.
Oh and I'd tell him not to direct any of them, hire other screenwriters and not rely so heavily on CGI.
Fortunately I'd also be in time to stop him from releasing the Star Wars Special Editions, with the ridiculous changes like making Greedo shoot first (or at all later), and convince him to leave the original editions intact.

Morgenstern said:
Well I am not sure if my post will qualify, since it is technically not a wish, but something that did indeed happen to me, though I guess it is something many nerds would dream about/wish for.
Short version: Thanks to Stargate I had sex with a hot blonde (nerdy*) Chick for over a year.
*..or geeky? I don't really understand the difference. Sorry English ESL here
Long Version:
I was nevera huge fan of said show, but found and joined an online board about the series. After I made fun of the show for some of the clichés (mostly the habit of a certain character to die and come back again) I got a pm from a girl demanding an apolgy. The conversation went something like this:
her: "Take that back or I'll kill you"
me: "Feel free to try it."
her: "Yeah? Well get over here if you dare!"
me: "ok"
Shortly after we did indeed meet and found us soon in a relationship which lasted for about a year. A more weird aspect of the story..she liked to play the stargate theme as endless loop while we were having sex. Has a result from a year long sex while listing to this music I now cant hear this theme without having to think about sex at once (biologic reaction included). I've since then stopped watching Stargate...
So in the end let me say it one more time (since I am sure that I am the first, and most likely last person to ever make this statement):
Thanks to Stargate I lost my virginity to a hot geeky blond girl with big breast who also became my girlfriend for over a year.
I have yet to read the other wishes but I doubt that that most can live up to this.

I've wanted a really epic, five-disc, KOTOR-style quality rpg-adventure game based on Doctor Who for a long time. Other than a mediocre platformer released in the 90's (I think) and an adventure/puzzle game thing I never played, the franchise has really gotten no love when it comes to games. It's easy to see why, seeing as it's chronology is so long and convoluted. You might as well try and make a game out of War and Peace.
But I think you could do something with it, and two approaches come to mind:
1)A fairly linear story that progresses through all of the current incarnations, includes some of the classic creatures and characters, and allows for some random-encounters via the TARDIS, or
2) An game patterned off of the recent fan-servicing Who comic series, The Forgotten. Think about it, Whovians: You play the Tenth Doctor, waking up amnesiac in a strange museum, and as you explore you find various exhibits, each one dedicated to one of your past incarnations. Interacting with each exhibit triggers a flashback in which you are that Doctor (with corresponding companions)in a different completely open and sandboxy world, and each one contains challenges that must be faced in order to gain the information necessary to access the next exhibit. Ooh! And what if you could perform certain actions in a past life that affect the level of another life? Oh, they should get on this. And somehow, all of the cast members, both living and dead, would do all of the voicework.
Wow. I'm going to have to go take a cold shower after that one...

I wish Mystery Science Theater was still on the air, with all of the cast members from every era. I don't know how that would work, but it shouldn't be that hard to fit everyone in. They wouldn't have to worry about getting the rights to movies, because the film makers would be happy to have their movies mocked. This show was screwed over twice. It deserves to still be on t.v. Besides, my nerdy little heart yearns to have Joel and Mike riff a movie together. It would be a dream come true.

I would wish that the universe really worked the way made for TV and Hollywood sci-fi says it does. Okay, I can do without sound in space, but I want piloting a spaceship to really be just like flying a plane, to be able to spend long amounts of time in microgravity without dropping dead the moment you set foot back in a gravity well and spacesuits that don't require diapers. I want shields made of energy and swords made of light, and guns that shoot glowy bolts of whatever-it-is. I want giant robot war machines that stomp grimly down the street (but pirouette gracefully in space), and flying cars that flip the bird to inertia and aerodynamics. I want to pack enough energy to travel faster than light into something no larger than a Chevy Suburban, to power time travel by harnessing black holes and to beam people from here to Andromeda without making a dent in the electricity bill. I want people to be able to slip into a suit that makes one as strong as an ox, ride a board that lets you surf the air at sonic speeds and take a pill that lets you leap tall buildings in a single bound (And yet, has no unfortunate side effects!). Mankind should be able to bend reality to their will, move objects with the mind and speak to others in their dreams. I want computers that can think, talk and enjoy life with you, and functioning humanoid robots that don't put half the planet out of work (I'll even be okay with the occasional Terminator or kill-droid).
That's my wish. It's a little thing, easily managed, don't you think?

My one nerdiest wish is for me to be at a Toyota event test driving the Hybrid AWD Supra/LF when it reveals itself as a transformer with the ability to time travel.
Toyota would try and get it back, but we'd escape and come to an agreement I get to keep him as long as we keep it on the DL where it came from.
We'd travel back in time and buy lotto tickets, and Action Comics #1, and first editions of War of the Worlds and the Time Machine. Just fufill every time travel wish.
I would make it so I still ended up in Vegas to meet my girlfriend and have our son. But shortly after the money and riches would be delivered by my transformer and we'd live happily ever after.
I would also use my new found fortune to purchase the film rights to Transformers, GI Joe, and AKIRA. Giving Transformers to Ridley Scott(ALA Alien) to make real, AKIRA to James Cameron(ALA Avatar/Abyss), and GI Joe to Spielsberg (ALA Saving Private Ryan). They would have only two rules. 1) They must adhere to source material and consult with creators on logical changes to the format. 2) Not to make any cuts because of cost, I'll find the money (AKA send back my Supra to get more Action Comics and Lotto Tickets)...
I would then have FOX purchased by me, turning FOX News into Air Amerca TV. Givng WB the money back from the Watchmen suit. Raises and long contracts for the Futurama crew and cast. Turning FX and Fox affiliates into nerd/geek/genre meccas where creators rule their own properties. Cameron, Smith, Gaiman, Moore, every creative mind would be welcome with open arms and no contracts. If a creator decides to end a show, we'll let another fill the slot.
I would also buy Rob a PS3 so he can play as the Joker in the new batman game.

My wish would be that i could go back to the late 90's and undo one major mistake i made back then.
Back in the late 90's i was involved with a woman actually i was pretty well in love with her and we were engaged.
Things were going pretty well for me at the time and a friend and i were preparing to open our own toy store.
I have been a graphic designer on and off for a long time and at the time i was pretty heavy into it and had actually contacted Toyfare Magazine about a position with them. This was potentially a dream job for me and could have lead to a lot of great things had i taken the next step and gotten the job.
I got a bit of cold feet due to my relationship and the potential for having to move to New York and stopped in my tracks.
I gave up on my potential dream job working with toys at a toy magazine and potentially being a part of some pretty big stuff like Robot Chicken and just in general having an inside line on an industry i love to this day and would adore being a part of.

FIREFLY: I wish it had a Star Trek: TNG show run with a similarly sized following.
Then, during the 9th season, when the well starts running a little dry (after tapping out every quality sci-fi writer in the biz), it turns into a special effects laden superhero show, where Capt. Mal gets his Green Lantern ring (from Ryan Reynolds at a Pizza Place). Jayne gets a super-sized healing factor and some ninja moves, becoming a merc with a mouth. A resurrected Wash gets his wings. Actual, working wings. (Maybe he was in "heaven," where he got his wings, and returns to the 'verse, making a true believer out of Mal for a time)
Simon gets super powered healing skills, and is pissed because that was something he was already good at. Zoe gets super strength and nigh-invulnerability. Shepherd Book returns from the dead as a badass villain of Apocalyptic talent(curse his sudden but inevitable betrayal!) River's character development takes turns that my limited creativity cannot predict or even fathom. And Inara and Kaylee get even hotter.
I'll be in my bunk.

Well... I would wish for... for... DAMN! I have so many possible wishes, I can't choose!
Well, I'll put them all here, so you can see the full scope of my wishes and the possible bad side effects of each.
1: Firefly(or Wonderfalls, Futurama, MST3K, etc) never got canceled, the usual for those without much bigger-picture ability.
2: Becoming an intergalactic fuckmaster. Kaylee, River, Arwen, Rose Tyler, Ripley, Kari Byron, Jessica Rabbit, Uhura, Temperance Brennan, Buffy, Nami, Ivy, you name her, I have the capability to traverse time and space to get into her pants. Seems good at first, but what happens when your doctor tells you you've got 74 different venereal diseases, including 8 known only to a species of tree only found in the Orinoco River Basin and 13 they're naming after you because they've never seen anything that looks anything like them before? What then, Poon Lord?
3: Lightsaber. I'd poke my eye out, and give myself a frontal lobotomy in the process.
4: Giant Robot. How would you learn to use it? There's no giant mech piloting academy, at least not where I live. And how could it be street-legal anyway?
5: The Force. This, however, could be great. Don't like someone? CHOKE TIME, MOTHERFUCKER! Want some poon? Mind trick time! Uh... Mainly the mind trick will be good. If it works on everyone, I mean.
6: Clockstopping. When I was younger, there was this one movie I loved, Clockstoppers. It had a watch that could stop time. I was awed by this possibility, because the potential was so great. Need to get somewhere fast? STOP TIME, MOFO! Guy threatening your friend? STOP TIME AND KICK HIM RIGHT IN THE NUTS, MOFO! Hot chick over there? STOP TIME! Have yourself a grope! Yes, I was a perverted little fuck at the time, but, I still am now.
7: Frank Zappa(or JFK, Roddenberry, Ian Curtis, Reagan, Captain America, etc.) never died. It would be chill as all hell, but... well... I can't find a downside. Zappa never died, more Zappa to be listened to. Not as nerdy as some others, but still, Frank Zappa, the Best Singer-Songwriter-Composer-Guitarist-Bandleader-all-in-one ever to walk the earth. Music nerds would rejoice. Well, they wouldn't know they had any reason to. But they inexplicably would.
8: Time Travel. Too much potential for accidental familial destruction.
9: [FEMALE CHARACTER] as a girlfriend. If we aren't right for each other, she could beat the shit out of me. Yes, I am a weakass.
10: A decent Futurama game. By Team ICO or CLover. Team Ninja would be good for the volleyball spinoff. Oooohhh, Leeela... Sorry, where am I, and why are my pants off?
Anyway...
11: More wishes. I'd be smacked upside the head for being a little shit, and get no wish.
12: A Sexbot. Yes. Fuck yes.
13: Joe Satriani/Steve Vai/Paul Gilbert(pick one) having done the Transformers theme instead. The 06 one. I'd just have him work with Stan Bush for the original theme.
14: KITT. A working, talking, fully AI Knight Industries Two Thousand.
15: Money. It's the means to previously-described ends.

There was a show in the mid to late 90s called WMAC Masters. It was a strange hybrid of martial arts and professional wrestling storylines. I like to consider it the love child of Dana White and Vince McMahon. Sadly the second season ended on a cliffhanger. The Dragonstar was stolen! But the show was sadly canned.

I would wish that every tabletop role-playing game company on Earth, from WOTC all the way down to the one hopeful nerd trying to sell PDFs on rpgnow.com, would get a $10 million USD loan to put together either a pilot episode for a tv series or a teaser-trailer for a movie based on some fully-owned game line or whatnot. Meaning that WOTC might do a "Planescape" movie, or Pinnacle Entertainment might get their "Weird War" series, or... well, almost anything.
I would say that the results, even factoring Sturgeon's Law into account, would spur creativity in Hollywood like nothing it had ever seen before.
I mean, seriously: If a self-help book like "He's Just Not That Into You" can get turned into a movie, then why the heck not "I Am Mongoose And So Can You"?

I'd like a peaceful, loving world with animals that came to my beck and call to help me clean whenever I broke out in a merry tune, a world with no hungry children, healthcare that works--And a death sentence by shooting range for every talentless, tasteless hack that made it on FF Friday, and those who haven't been featured yet but who have written stories deplorable enough to make it on here.
Make it public event, and donate the proceeds to proper sex education, so these fics are never seen again. I want a box seat. I want these events to have all of the fanfare of a Jonas Brothers concert. I want commemorative T-Shirts with tour dates for these things.
So I guess in a way I'm asking for world peace through death of bad fanfiction writers as my wish. Santa, make it so!

Think about it, we would have had more Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz not to mention countless other Simpsons characters that they would have created, Zap Brannigan would have his correct voice and you know they would have created more characters in Futurama to use his voice, and maybe there would have been a live action Troy McClure movie.
Not to mention I think he would have had a stellar movie career and the last couple seasons of News Radio wouldn't have sucked. All in all, I think the world would be different, not that different, but effected in a way that we can't possibly imagine. Just tweak it a little, enough that it would make the world a much more fun place to live in.

This is a cruel, cruel contest. None of these fabulous things will come true, but we are all still torturing ourselves over what to choose, on the off chance that it actually matters.
To choose my wish would take lots of deliberation, and result in probably a lot of weird sexual stuff or the ability to live in fantasy worlds. To benefit all nerd kind the best wish would be to own a movie and television studio with infinite money so as to bring canceled series back and make sure nothing ever goes wrong again.
That said, that's not very entertaining to think about and is actually rather depressing. So while it's not original, this contest exists because of FOX executives and I'll be going the cathartic route by crafting the punishment they deserve.
Okay, my wish: Actually rather simple. Take all FOX executives past, present, and future responsible for the decisions that make us loathe them so. Tie them all up, and seal them in a room with David Garrett, author of the Pokemon story. Yes, I am that sadistic. Make him fully understand he may do what he pleases, and may have whatever tools he requires. The events which thusly transpire shall not be recorded in any way, as we might then feel pity for the bastards and try to put an end to it.
The executive most directly responsible for what befell Firefly shall be saved for last, and will be made to see everything that comes before. Worry not, this room will never be opened again, and David Garrett will starve to death or take his own life, whatever gets him off.
Well, I feel better.

Actually, I'd want to get *two* versions...the original, and the "special edition" released in 1997 that updated the special effects——including the controversial replacement of the beloved muppet Jar-Jar Binks, voiced by Jim Henson, with a plasticey CGI actor.

I wish that when Firefly was canceled by Fox, it was picked up by the Sci-Fi network. I wish that Sci-Fi would have taken it, loved it like it loved BSG, and let it live a long, healthy 7 glorious, beautiful seasons. Then had it end in a satisfying way in a finale written and directed by Joss Whedon.
The reason that I'm not going to wish that Fox had never canceled it, is because Fox fucking ruins everything. They would have fucked it up somehow, and I want my beautiful imaginary seasons of Firefly far, far away from that godawful network.
(If I had two wishes, the second would be that the X-Files production had stayed in Vancouver instead of coming to LA, because I have a feeling that the move to LA is what made it start turning shitty after 5 mindblowingly amazing seasons. I just had to get that out, the nerd sadness was heavy on my mind.)

Benefits include nearly instantaneous worldwide travel, (getting to meet real women from anywhere should increase my chances of finding a worthwhile girlfriend) plus universal language translation, and getting to attend a simulation of Starfleet Academy via the holodeck so I can become a qualified starship commander. The rest of you can benefit from my wish as well. If any pesky world destroying asteroids, zombie apocalypses or nuclear terrorists cause a problem, I'll go Starfleet on them.

I wish I could have sat down with George Lucas and prevented this tragedy called clone wars from ever being written. Rather than go back and destroy peoples childhood George would have taken into account all the fans who kept his franchise alive and written a trilogy that were complete movies in their own right not just prequels, that left out the whineiness, the JarJarness, and the crappy cgi(mainly aimed at the attack of the clones cgi army that I have seen better graphics on playstation games). He would have written said movies then hired someone talented to direct them and allowed someone else to hire actors and polish the dialogue. Some actors would stay some would go. No Darth Maul dying in the first movie either he is not in it at all or he the reason Anakin is taught wrong, Obi Wan spent so much time hunting down Darth Maul that he ignored Anakins needs as a apprentice(notice no use of the word padawan).

George seems to be a popular target for the wishes, but I'm taking another spin on his saga. . . .
My wish would be a one shot Time Travel trip - to arrive at the meeting at 20th Century Fox in 1975 about half an hour before Lucas got there, with my nine carefully remastered scripts. Yeah, that's right - I'd make changes to the original three as well, tweaks and touch-ups here and there to make the whole saga a unified whole.
"Wait", you say. "Nine scripts?" Yup - because the last three would be a re-worked Thrawn trilogy, adapted for movie form, capping off the most awesome sexillogy with the best non-movie stories around.
And technically it would be 13 scripts in my bag. Since I've consigned Lucas to making independent art films for the rest of his days until he dies in a car wreck in Santa Monica while racing at the tender young age of 45, someone would need to make Indiana Jones, too. Although the tweaking to those scripts would be considerably less (yeah, I'd keep Temple of Doom mostly the same).
Oh, and I wouldn't sell off Pixar when the boys down in the ILM labs started coming up with these cool animated shorts. I'd shake loose some funding and tell them "Here's a stack of cash - go to town boys!" Of course I'd have a ton of extra cash on hand, since while I'm living out the early eighties again, I'd invest VERY heavily in this little start-up company called Microsoft.
Oh, and the Star Wars Holiday Special? Yeah - I'd still make it, exactly unchanged as-is. Yeah it's shit - but it's such so-bad-it's good shit, I cant NOT make it. So I'd give it the glorious DVD release it rightfully deserves - right down to buying the rights to the commercials that aired with it and including those. "Fight the frizzies. Film at 11." indeed. . . .

I wish Disney would give Miazaki his proper due. I realize he's well acclaimed in Japan, but come on, what Disney does with his movies (even with their new, tight contract) is pathetic. I wish they would release his movies in the states with big promotions, show them in the same theaters they do of all the crap they release on a yearly basis...
... and show them subbed, with good translations (no cleaned up crap for a 'happy' or sappy endings), or at the very least dub them with decent translations and real voice actors rather than celebrities just picked to tack their names on to the movie. Treat them well, like they deserve.
That is all.
I would, however, settle for a second season of Mononoke that was as good as the first.

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be in a Romero zombie flick. As a child I wanted to be a zombie, wandering about aimlessly, munching on the random passerby, some grotesque sack of pus and rotted flesh. But now I've come to realize that It'd be much more glorious to be that one guy that gets swarmed and devoured. Everywhere I'd go my nerdy brethren would say "Hey that's that guy what which was torn to shreds in that zombie flick." We'd share a couple laughs about my lines in the movie "NO! NO! NOT MY SPLEEN!" this would eventually lead to my being invited to a bar for a couple beers. Yeah.... That'd be nice.
Either that or to somehow have all my dead heroes inexplicably come back to life the likes of Carlin, Pryor, Hicks, Hunter Thompson, y'know just not zombified.

I would want to be a shapeshifter, like Odo from Deep Space Nine. Actually, more like any of the Founders since they have full control of their shapeshifting, while Odo is still learning.
I would not need to drive or take public transportation - just shift into a bird and FLY. No need to buy clothes, just shift myself into whatever fashions I am feeling like. Mercifully, I wouldn't have to shave anymore (I hate shaving.). At times, I would take the form of other people, just to see what their lives are like (Be Grant Morrison and walk into the DC Comics offices, or be John Cena and walk into a wrestling arena). And, similar to how Odo and a humanoid woman shared an experience in the DS9 episode "A Simple Investigation," I would make love to my wife Great-Link-style.
But I would not do the Cardassian Neck Trick. NO!

Then I would keep the promise to Barry Sonnenfeld to place the live action tick between the Simpsons and the X-files (oh come on you could put a test pattern there and it would sell, just look what it did for Malcolm in the middle!), The Lone Gunmen,Kitchen Confidential, and Arrested Development would have all had a much fair shake, and The simple life with Paris and Nicole would have been canceled before ever airing. Now as for Futurama, It would have outlasted the Simpsons. And as for Joss Wheadon, He can have Wednsday night all to himself, Firefly, Dollhouse, Hell a Dr Horrible series.. as long as he keeps up the awesome! AVP would have been rated R, and not a total piece of crap!, The X-men films would have been under a ton more scurtiny, Wolvereen would not have been a steaming load. Same with Daredevil, and when George Lucas showed off the first print of Star Wars Episode one to my throng, I would have made him explain, how to fix it, No Jar Jar, or we publicly explain why we will not be distributing it.

Adams was eventually going to write another book in the Hitchhiker's Guide series, having felt bad that in "Mostly Harmless" he (SPOILER ALERT) killed all the main characters, blew up Earth, and destroyed all alternate dimension Earths (This was all in the last chapter) to the consternation of rabid fans who have fond memories of the Hitchhiker's series and its charactersseries.
Having another author continue the series is no counselation, and is like taking a watery shit on Douglas Adam's grave.

My nerdiest wish isn't really nerdy, but f$%# it, I'm just gonna say it anyway.
I wish I had the power to alter the lives of famous celebrities. Not to influence their power or friendship with me, but to actively protect them from harm.
I've always wondered how certain people's lives would turn out if they weren't affected by tragedy. With this wish, I would be able to change the course of their lives. (Of course, that's basically saying I would want to play God.)
Imagine being able to go back in the 70's and warning Michael Jackson about his near-fatal accident on the set of the Pepsi commercial, or the vitiligo skin condition? Being able to stop Buddy Holly from getting on the plane that would ultimately crash, ending his life? Telling Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed NOT to get in the car that would ultimate crash in an underpass? Stopping Mark David Chapman from killing John Lennon in cold blood? Telling Kurt Cobain that suicide isn't the answer?
The possibilities are endless.

Sashi said:
I wish I could take credit for this, but it comes from Dinosaur Comics.
The ultimate nerd wish is for everything to be possible as long as it is awesome enough. It doesn't matter if it defies logic, common sense, or the laws of physics. Why is this the ultimate nerdy wish? Because every genre of nerd culture (barring "hard Sci-Fi" which gets a hardon for being as scientifically accurate as possible) is all about imagining absolutely awesome, yet impossible, stuff, then running with it as if it were true.
A few things that would now be possible:
Giant Robots/Insects/Giants: Screw the square-cube law. Who cares that an ant big enough to ride like a horse would be crushed under its own weight/suffocate, or that the mechanics required to move a 100ft tall robot would be so heavy and bulky that the robot is comically slow and clumsy. And horses and gundams are now possible because they are awesome.
Lightsabers violate the laws of physics in more ways than it's possible to count (too-small power supply, light doing a 180 at an arbitrary point in space, being incredibly bright yet also energy-efficient). Who cares? They're AWESOME, which trumps the laws of physics.
Faster-than-light travel is now possible, for the same reasons. Additionally: aliens exist, and the majority of them can interact with humans and aren't things like sentient growths of crystal.
Any lost limb or organ now has a cybernetic replacement that not only replicates the lost body part's original function, but also gives you a super power related to what you lost (strangely enough, if a limb/organ is purposely lost either no super power is gained or the power comes at a terrible, yet ironic, cost). The artificial appendix is oddly useless.
Industrial accidents now often grant super powers, rather than sterility, cancer, and death.
With a lifetime of training Bruce Lee was able to move so fast his films had to be slowed down so people would believe he was actually doing what he was doing. Now, with enough training you will be able to leap 30 feet in the air, fall to the ground gently as a feather, scale sheer walls like a gecko, dodge someone's sword thrust by jumping onto the sword and standing there while the attacker looks dumbfounded (instead of the sword being wrenched out of his/her hand or your foot being cut, use two fingers to perfectly cut through a tree, punch someone so hard they fly 10 feet back, and survive a punch so hard it throws you 10 feet back.
Being shot by a gun will now actually send someing flying in the air, despite the fact that conservation of momentum would require that the person who fired said gun should also fly backwards.
THERE IS SOUND IS SPACE.
Your ability to survive wounds will be directly proportional to the nobility of your actions. A rogue cop trying to save his family will survive a shotgun blast to the head, a child rapist will explode into a pile of gore if he accidentally nicks himself shaving.
Steampunk is real: It turns out that brass, wood, crystals, and steam are incredibly efficient power sources for things like jetpacks, and artificial intelligence is only possible using gear and rod based computers (yes, I stole this from Real Life comics, but I think that's further proof this is the ultimate nerd wish). Additionally: steampunk items are most effective while wearing a top hat, fedora, gloves and/or goggles, or speaking with a british accent.
Computer systems and/or robots can accidentally become sentient, but only to help solve a science problem and/or teach a nerd how to find love.
Magic is real. Some guy yelling "lightning bolt" and throwing bean bags = lame. Actually being able to shoot lightning from your fingertips = awesome.
There is an alien race who, if they come to Earth, will gain super powers.
Corrolary: there is a planet upon which, if traveled to, will grant humans super powers.
TV shows like Firefly don't get cancelled and are instead allowed to run their creative lifespans, yet end before becoming artistically bankrupt lurching zombies. Even the most intellectually bankrupt movies still maintain minimum standards of plot and characterization.
Corrolary: despite the fact that everything awesome you can think of is possible, great works of art and creatitivy still exist, and even thrive.
Finally: despite the fact that this wish COULD result in the destruction of the earth by armies of giant-steampunk-powered-cybernetic-alien-wuxia-ninjas shooting lightning bolts while weilding lightsabers it does not, because that would not be awesome.

My wish is simple and maybe a little bit stupid:
I wish I could re-experience one nerdy little moment from when I was ten years old. This moment was when I stepped into Toys R Us in 1980 and first saw the action figure for Han Solo in his Hoth outfit.
I knew there was going to be a sequel to my favorite movie of all time, but the first wave of Empire Strikes Back figures from Kenner were a surprise to me. I bought other figures that day, Luke in his Bespin fatigues and FX-7, but Han in that blue parka was the one I cherished (right up until my four-year-old son popped its head from its shoulders).

I wish my best friend, who is a film critic, would rediscover her long-lost passion for anime and watch my favourite shows with me and discuss them with me. I miss listening to her excited monologues about the use of camera angles in Samurai Champloo, and reading her technical notes on the merits of the use of filters in a certain Death Note AMV. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike having my friends tell me half-interestedly that "that character's cool", and I deeply enjoyed the one session with my musician friend who brought over her record player and collection of vinyl records so we could listen to different versions of the songs in Nodame Cantabile and compare and explain why Nodame and Chiaki play the piano brilliantly even to a thoroughly trained ear. But I get a particularly warm and fuzzy feeling from hearing "I like this shot," or "I would have shot this differently," that I never get from anything else.

Star Wars vs. Transformers
Imagine a fleet of X, Y, A, and B-Wings mixing it up in the Corporate Sector (where Cybertron is found to be, since the Corporate Sector was barely touched in the Expanded Star Wars Universe) against a fleet of Starscreams and the like. Megatron could transform into a Darksaber-type gun and Optimus could turn out to be Dash Rendar's Outrider, hidden in vehicle mode all this time. I know Dash seemed like a gingier, crappier replacement for Han Solo while he was frozen in carbonite, but I always loved him.
Admiral Ackbar could have a sweet new catch phrase to add to "It's a trap!" and "Your tastebuds can't repel flavor of this magnitude!".
No Ewoks of Gungans, because they have no place in space. And no Jedi children. Only original trilogy characters, plus Dash Rendar, Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn.
And for the inevitable fan fiction, the Darksaber Megatron could have sex with the docking bay of a Super Star Destroyer.

Then, the moment that you could pin point where the script was thrown out the window and becomes nothing but bad superhero costumes and a guy in a gorilla suit.

Best of all, it's SO EASY. Nintendo only has to do a press release. And they can re-release the games, so they can get even more money. And I, nay, the world can have all the names in the franchise match.

I wish Anno hadn't totally fucked up the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion, I don't care what purists and Anno apologists say, it pretty much gave the middle finger to the viewer. The first time I watched Eva, I loved it, I was fucking addicted to it and completely immersed in the story and characters. Then comes the two part "conclusion" which took everything the series had built up to and promised and took a chainsaw to it in the most sadistic way possible. Since were speaking of skull fucking, It felt like I was being fucked through both sockets while watching Anno's half-assed, self-indulgent psycho-analytic acid trip bullshit. This was the biggest trauma of my nerd life, and I never really got over it. My wish is that Neon Genesis(the original series, not the movies or remakes) had a brilliant, epic ending fitting for such a amazing series,It would be one, if not the best ending arcs of any anime out there, full of pathos, action, visceral eva battles, moving character drama, suspense and a touch of humor and most importantly, a completely satisfying resolution. No loose ends would be left, all the characters especially Shingi(who grows some balls), Rei and Asuka all get significant screen time and their character development reaches an appropriate climax. This will be an ending just as famous for being awesome as the original ending was infamous for being terrible,controversial and inconclusive. If this wish is granted I know that when the time comes, I could die a happy nerd and my soul would be at peace.

Anyway, I would buy a crate of the Bab-bear-lon 5 teddy bears and sell them just to annoy Sheridan. ;)
2) Hollywood would abruptly pull its head out of its collective rectum about what they think people want and put out good, intelligent movies, like Harlan Ellison's screenplay of "I, Robot" instead of that cr*pfest that probably had Asimov spinning in his grave.
Oh, and I like the wish about the vehicles peeing on Bay, but only if they made a DvD of it so I could watch it again and again.

My ultimate nerd wish is that a T-1000 would go back in time, and quietly assassinate Kevin J. Anderson in the cradle so that he can never put his greasy, hack writer hands on the Dune series. Also, Frank Herbert wouldn't have died until he completed Book 7. That's it really. I guess I'd also like to Aes Sedai, or be Seven of Nine in some alternate universe, but this is much more important.

My nerdiest wish?
To be the fifth Ghostbuster.Think about it. You zap ghosts for a living, the city of New York loves you, and you hang out with Dan Akyroyd all fucking day! I can hear the cheers and cries of an onlooking crowd as I, their savior, emerge from the New York Library carrying with me the plague of ghosts punishing their poor city. Truly, its an honorable and caring wish.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a Barba Poppa more than anything else in the world. Now I kinda think that being a gelatinous blob, while somewhat interesting at first glance, wouldn't be altogether pleasant after a while (though some might say I am a gelatinous blob already, so maybe dreams can come true).
I also want a 1975 VW Super Beetle done up like a Batmobile with bat-shaped steering wheel, fins on the back fenders and custom license plate that says 'Bat Bug' on it. Ahhhh, perchance to dream.
Finally, I would join forces with a couple of other guys and a super hot, way out of my league looking chick and travel across the country in that Bat Bug solving mysteries and performing in a retro rock band on Saturday nights and the occasional Sunday special event (like a Bar Mitsva or 35th wedding anniversary). The sexual tension between me and the super hot, way out of my league looking chick would be dense and obvious, causing many uncomfortable moments for both myself and the band. We would eventually date, but it wouldn't work out and the band would break up. Then I'd spin off into my own adventures, just me and the Bat Bug, but it wouldn't be as good and last maybe three or four weeks at best.
Finally, I'd have a little electronic wristwatch programmed with all sorts of different words in it so that I know how to spell Bar Mitzva properly when typing blog posts and other assorted messages that require words like Bar Mitzva.

I'd recraft the world in my own image. This Eden would be a glorious, slightly nerdier place and one quite frankly worth living in.
The first thing I'd do in this newfound role as a deity is the resurrection of TechTV and a massive head-to-toe reconstruction of Cartoon Network. TechTV's resurrection is purely for technical reasons. I don't have broadband. I'm not getting broadband anytime soon. Revision3 and TWiT.TV are nice, but it'd be nice if they were on a television, and considering the founders and creators of both have ties to TechTV, the late, great technology-based channel that was bought by Comcast and merged with G4 because TTV was in more households and had X-Play, a gaming show that outclassed everything they had aired, perhaps a digital cable network using the TechTV name could bring them together in a big way.
The head-to-toe reconstruction of Cartoon Network is for selfish reasons as well. I hate seeing live-action on Cartoon Network. What the hell was basketball on trampolines, fake paranormal kids, and other reality ripoffs doing on Cartoon Network? I want cartoons. I want a lineup lined with cartoons from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and today. I want Cartoon Network picking up shows from all points of the globe. I want Toonami, Toonapalooza, and Toon Heads back on the lineup. I want Looney Tunes on television. Cartoon Network could do that now, but they're completely ran by people that have to Google Ben Hardaway, Preston Blair, Shamus Culhane, and Maurice Noble to understand their contributions to animation.
Second, all the televised works of Joss Whedon, Judd Apatow, and Bryan Fuller would be on the air and I would return those shows prematurely cancelled back when they were new. Yeah, I'm primarily referring to Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, and Pushing Daisies. I'd give them all a full episodic run with definitive endings.
Also in this parallel Eden, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, The Real World, The Real Housewives of Orange County, Laguna Beach, 90210, Gossip Girl, Flavor/Rock of Love, The Bachelor(ette), and Twilight would not exist. And there would be no such person as Michael Bay or Stephen Sommers.
Asimov's positronic brain technology was real, so we could him back with us, along with Douglas Adams, Gene Roddenberry, and maybe Jules Verne.
George Lucas wouldn't feel that he needed to "tinker" with the original three Star Wars movies.
Also, I'd have the Sci-Fi Channel return to its roots airing and acquiring science-fiction programs of all types (including sitcoms) from all eras and all studios. This also includes titles from the UK that haven't aired in the States in ages and Japanese-produced wares with a more linear lineup (i.e. not just marathons). And I'd put them in a pair of channels: Syfy (for more modern shows from the mid-80s to today) and Sci Fi Retro (for those movies and shows from beginning of the sci-fi entertainment genre to the post-Star Wars era). Seriously, I want that channel more than the TechTV resurrection.
That would be nice.

I have read some of the other posts and there are some great ideas on here,so if I'm forced to have just one wish it would be that nerds could control thier own nerd destiny. All of our nerddom is controled be old white farts in suits that have no idea what they are doing or what the fans want. We need nerds in charge of nerd things!!!!

Since I'm not a smart man, I'd wish for the idea that would allow me to create a spark that would trigger a chain reaction that would:
-Get anime respected as an art form capable of conveying multiple genres (no more of this "cartoons are for kids" crap); this would also apply to a good portion of American animated series (as well as shows from around the world). Also, all anime would be available on region-free Blu-Ray dubbed and subtitled in multiple languages (I want my Gurren Lagann in Swahili with Esperanto subtitles).
-Give game shows some much-needed and overdue recognition as a noteworthy genre (this would apply to all the good and lesser-known shows conceived between 1950 and 1990, such as Press Your Luck, $ale of the Century, Card Sharks and The Big Showdown, among others, with Winning Lines being the lone exception from 2000). Also, Jim Peck would take over for Jack Barry on the Joker's Wild in 1984 instead of Bill Cullen, who would still be on Blockbusters, which would run until 1988.
-Bring Peter Tomarken back to life, reverse-age him back to how he looked in late 1985, have him assume the mantle of host of the new Press Your Luck (before Bob Boden, Fremantle Media and/or Ricki Lake can ruin it), and then become President of the United States of America in 2000 (thereby preventing most of the modern world's problems; Barack Obama would assume the mantle in 2008 and continue Tomarken's legacy as Greatest President Ever). I'd also like to meet the man (as well as Marc Summers, his vice-president).
-Finish the third season of Sonic The Hedgehog (the 1993-1995 Saturday morning animated series that was aborted way too soon by moronic ABC execs who had dollar signs on their minds with the Disney-ABC merger).
-Allow me to meet Hitomi Aizawa, Angelika Libera-Baran and Kayo Haga in person (note to other nerds: the first one should be easy to Google, but good luck finding the next two).
-Pretty much everything else Jeff Harris said (especially the ones about reorganizing Cartoon Network and the Sci-Fi Channel).
(As for the parts about becoming healthy, wealthy and wise, well, this is a nerd blog; non-nerd-related feel-good posts belong elsewhere.)

When I was in college, a friend of mine and I went in on a box VHS set of Star Blazers. We were incredibly excited, because the series was so awesome when we were kids.
We turned on the first tape and it was everything we remembered. The awesome opening credits. The awesome theme song. And then...
...well...
...there were the silly alien planets, the animation that was choppy at best, the bad voiceover, the cliche characters...by the time they got to the planet of the giant bee people, I'd had enough.
In the TV wasteland of the early 1980s, it was awesome. In a post-Miyazaki world, it was just mediocre. I watched the opening credits again just the other day on YouTube, but I had no real desire to watch the series again.
Turns out part of my childhood just didn't live up to the pure vein injection of awesome serum I'd remembered it as. In retrospect, the show was disappointing. I wish it hadn't been.

I'm not saying this to be politically correct. I'm hoping it would keep some shows on the air that otherwise get cancelled or never get made at all.
Can production companies realize that women can be closet geeks - and therefore make up a LARGE PART OF AN VIEWING AUDIENCE for science fiction/fantasy shows.
I'm a guy. I 've met a lot of women who are big fans of movies like Alien and Terminator - even Watchmen.
Writers for TV like Chris Carter, Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, and Russell T. Davies (Dr. Who) write a few characters that women identify with or or at least find interesting. That's really all it takes. You don't have to push it. You don't have to make big feminist statements. You don't have to have lots of pretty boy actors on the show.
I even know women who bought games like Street Fighter and World of Warcraft. The ratio of women to men Harry Potter fans I've met seems probably 2 to 1.
This even applies to gay people - who pay money for entertainment . . .

Hmmm... so many points brought out and awesome wishes.
But I'd ask for the Philosopher's Legacy from MGS 3: Snake Eater.
Why? In the game its made out to be a amount that could never really be spent ( a wiki entry put's it a 1.2 trillion).
What I would do is Invest part of it then do the following:
- PAY ROB LIEFELD AND JEPH LOEB TO NEVR MAKE OR WRITE ANOTHER COMIC AGAIN!!!!
- Make another many more seasons of firefly. Leave the movie Serenity alone making it the series ending but make new episodes the occur before and after the movie.
- Buy out Harmony Gold and fire those idiots. That way I can bring over Macross Zero, Macross Frontier and Macross 7. These can't be brought over Because HG trademarked The terms Macross and UN Spacy.
- Maybe make a Star Wars squeal. Thats right SQUEAL not prequeal.lets' concentrate on what happens after the Glactic empire falls
- Make Cybernetics Real. Try and advance the world in the direction that Masamune Shirow envisioned in ghost in the shell. which would eventually lead to life sized gundams.
- Bring One-peice over faster to satisfy Rob Bricken.
- Give Rob bricken some enough funds to marry Kristen Bell while she wears the Slave Leia outfit or who ever he chooses
- Make More awesome action figures, statues and other memorabilia based off of anime, movies and just about everything else awesome!!!
- Make 2 more seasons of Heroes. Now before you judge; I would throw ie fire the current writers and directors And get someone good who could write. Maybe Alan Moore writing or Martin Scorsese to direct.
- Make decent endings to all the oh so many anime's that have horrible endings
Which Brings up:
- MAKE GOOD LIVE ACTION ANIME/ MANGA MOVIES!!
- ELIMINATE EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH DRAGONBALL EVEOLUTION 1&2!!!
- STOP RESIDENT EVIL 4 FROM BEING MADE!!!
and that all I can think of at the moment beside cure diseases and all the other bad stuff.

I wasn't going to enter, but here it is:
Wolfgang Petersen was supposed to bring Orson Scott Card's book Ender's Game to the big screen. Petersen showed he can do isolation in alien environments with Das Boot. He can do large scale combat and CGI like he did in Troy. Most of all, he can do sci-fi with character development like he did in Enemy Mine. If there was ever a chance at a decent movie of Ender's Game being made, this was the best chance it would have at being done well.
Alas, it all fell apart. My favorite book lost it's chance at translation to movie.

My box of Transformers was stolen when I was 8. It was a copy paper box that I had gotten that was filled to the brim with them. That ended my childhood innocence. They were taken from a storage locker in California that they had been left in when we moved back to Ohio. It was an accident that they had been left behind and I was sad. Then when dad emptied the locker he found it had been burglarized and that was one of the things that they had taken. I really miss those toys. I would have kept them. I would keep them.

When I was a kid I had a weekly allowance of five bucks for doing household chores like taking out the trash and feeding the hamsters. Every Saturday when I got my five dollars I would have my dad take me to Wal-Mart and I would spend 98% of my allowance on an action figure from the greatest franchise ever: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. After years of this I had a massive collection of Turtles, villains, side characters and specialty versions of them all. One day when I was a teenager my mother had a garage sale. After this happened I couldn't find my beloved collection of turtles anymore. When I asked her about it she told me that I hadn't played with them recently and she sold them. She sold my fucking turtles. The hard earned monuments of my youth. Thrown away for a fraction of what I had paid for them. Everything from Ace Duck to Rocksteady to Usagi Yojimbo was gone. Usagi Fucuking Yojimbo! If I had one wish it would have to be the striking of this act from my history. My mother never would have touched my turtles, the nerd in me wouldn't have years of resentment against her and I would be playing with Mondo Gecko and Panda Kahn right now instead of typing this.

I wish Bryan Fuller would get the credit he deserves and people would stop screwing him over.
Dead Like Me - Fabulous show that ended earlier than it should have but went out loved. Then someone ruined my memories of the series with that turd of a movie.
Wonderfalls - Need I say more than "Fox"...
Amazing Screw On Head - Brilliant voice cast, true to the source material without being a direct adaptation. How did this not make it past a pilot?
Pushing Daisies - It seems no one will give the man more than two seasons. Great series that shouldn't have been on broadcast TV in the first place but had still managed to make a niche for itself.
Heroes - Fuller was without a doubt the reason the 1st season was so good. He left to go make Pushing Daisies and the Heroes immediately decided to take a shit in the audience's mouth. As good as the first season was it could have been even better. Fuller had a plot worked out where Claire and Zach paralleled each other with their "coming out" she with her superpowers and he with his homosexuality. Who fucked this up? Fox. Fox fucked up a show on NBC. I am gonna let that sink in for a while. Fox fucked up a show on NBC. Fox had already decided the actor portraying Zach would be John Connor and made him drop the show when they found out his character would be gay... Fox fucked up a show on NBC. FUCK. Heroes started to make a return to form at the end of this last season when Fuller returned to the head writer role but he is out again to make a new pilot.
My prayers go out to him, he has an unfortunate track record.

Adult swim has some horribly animated shows that just flat out aren't funny. Mainly recent additions.
I'll admit I'm not into anime, because things very often seem to get either a) melodramatic or b) ridiculous in short order. Not always, but often enough for me not to really feel like weeding out a good one. Therefore I'd love for anime to get it's own channel.
And if we could downvote/upvote tv shows/episodes realtime instead of Nielson ratings maybe shit would change for the better .

Plus I don't care how useful super-breath, heat-vision and x-ray vision would be in everyday life web-slinging is where its at. Get 'round the city super-fast, tie up my small number of enemies and my super-model girlfriend and I can explore all the bondage potential in the bedroom.
Spider-man's powers would make life pretty fucking sweet.

I would want a legit Green Ranger suit from Power Rangers equiped with Dragon Dagger and a real helmet, like the super balls expensive ones from Cosplay. This would acomplish many nerdy goals i had set for my life.
1. I want to go out to bars on halloween dressed in an aweome green ranger suit. This would be awesome because of the sheer novelty of everyone seeing the green ranger dancing it up at a bar on haloween.
2. I would stage a series of awesmoe photo sessions doing awesome things in my green ranger costume. Talk about a set of photos that belong on your coffee table.
3. The suit would compliment my already competly awesome Green Ranger Belt Buckle that i wear on weekly basis.
4. I would want to walk around in wal-mart dressed as the green ranger.
5. The Green Ranger was the most awesome of all the power rangers.
