Ma'adrys drew back from the datapad until Geordi leaned over her shoulder to whisper a few words of reassurance

Warsie

Actually I'd like to pit some Warsies against some Trekkies in an MTV (claymation) Death Match.

1999 May 17, Kevin Pacheco Cheney, “I DOUBT THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO LIVE UP TO ALL ITS HYPE”, in The Spokesman-Review:

Pompous sentimental muck well worthy of George Lucas himself. For Warsies only.

2003, Frank Plowright, The Slings & Arrows Comic Guide, Slings & Arrows, →ISBN, page 125:

But, only if those movies are “Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars” (Ep. 3 - 6 only, mind you - the first three are a bad dream for most Warsies, after all), […]

2012, Joseph Santiago, Lina Clark, Life by Association: Getting Furry, →ISBN, page 165:

(fandom slang) A fan of the Star Wars films and/or media franchise.


Scaper

Meanwhile, Scapers (as Farscape fans call themselves) have quickly become a huge presence on the Internet, […]

2002, Paul Simpson, David Hughes, Farscape: The Illustrated Companion, Tor, published 2002, →ISBN:

The Internet lit up with Scapers looking for a way to keep Farscape going.

2008, Frank Garcia, Mark Phillips, Science Fiction Television Series, 1990-2004: Histories, Casts and Credits for 58 Shows, McFarland & Company, published 2008, →ISBN, page 102:

Attending the 2012 Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia, I waited in line for around three hours in order to attend a panel featuring three of the Farscape actors. The room was filled to capacity with Scapers who cheered loudly when the actors appeared.

Trock

Blend of Time Lord + rock, after the pattern of wrock.

Allegra is more of an indie upstart, "though (she's) one of the people who always comes up when you talk about Trock," says Perry Michael Simon, who edits "The Nerdist," comedian Chris Hardwick's popular, geek-centric website.

2011 December 14, Christopher Borrelli, “Allegra Rosenberg is all plugged in, ready to Trock”, in Chicago Tribune:

One of the more interesting activities is the writing of “Trock,” or Timelord rock, a genre of music well known among the show's fans that celebrates the show and its characters.

2012 December 26, Veronica Austin, “New club celebrates science fiction”, in The Issaquah Press, page B6:

The originators of the Trock phenomenon, Chameleon Circuit's ode to the TARDIS is a delightfully retro-eighties-sounding jaunt, Gary Numan with an even more one-track mind than the original.

2013, Dave Thompson, Doctor Who FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Most Famous Time Lord in the Universe, Applause Theatre and Cinema Bokos, →ISBN:

(fandom slang) A genre of music produced by fans of the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who, characterized by lyrics about its characters, settings, and plot elements.


broodling

graser

Acronym of Gamma Ray Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

acronym

The Russians are working on the graser. One B. V. Chirkov has published a theoretical study in the Soviet Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics. He thinks a very pure crystal, "pumped" with a powerful source of radiation (such a "hard" X rays), much as a ruby crystal is pumped with high-intensity light in one form of laser, could be stimulated to emit coherent gamma rays—pulses of high-energy radiation perfectly in step.

1964 February, Wallace Cloud, “Science newsfront”, in Popular Science Monthly, volume 184, number 2, →ISSN, page 29:

Not lasers. Grasers. Gamma Ray Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

1974 October, Harlan Ellison, “Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans: Latitude 38° 54' N, Longitude 77° 00' 13" W”, in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, volume 47, number 4, page 59:

electromagnetic radiation

(physics, science fiction) A device for the coherent amplification or generation of electromagnetic radiation in the gamma ray wavelength by the use of excitation energy in resonant atomic or molecular systems.


mediafan

Your post is looking suspiciously like one of those litfan vs mediafan debates that are so incredibly stupid and pathetic and do nothing more than irritate people.

1998 June 9, Grant Watson, “Re: Godzilla - What a Turkey”, in aus.sf (Usenet), message-ID <357d206b.15155455@news.iinet.net.au>:

And I do know the difference between actors and the characters they play, unlike the usual mediafan stereotype (see GALAXY QUEST among many others).

2000 August 24, Matt G. Leger, “Re: TV science fiction [was Re: Beware of Slanted Fedora Cons!]”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom (Usenet), message-ID <B5CA7EDE.A18D%mattleger@SPAMSUX.earthlink.net>:

I've never been starstruck by some of the actors I've met over the years, unlike so many local mediafen who fawn and grovel.

2006 April 5, Lloyd Penney, “ChatBack”, in Vegas Fandom Weekly, volume 2, number 17 (whole number #71), page 20:

Point is we weren't a pack of "mediafen barbarians", we were real, live, young litfans (and hardly any of us read any fantasy, were SF fans); but we were from the burbs and we were unfannish.

2014 January, Neil Williams, “Letters of Comment”, in Space Cadet, volume 12, number 1 (whole number #25), page 7:

(fandom slang, sometimes derogatory) A science fiction fan primarily interested in film and/or television.

Eofandom

Coined by Jack Speer. Perhaps related to eolithic.

Eofandom, from about 1930 to 1933, existed before fandom became an entity; generally comprised of folk with no sense of group existence whose interests were in collecting stf and scientificomics, and who eagerly hunted down any items with any sort of stfnal significance. Such fanzines as Science Fiction Digest and The Comet were the mags of the day. Primitive trilobites crawled about on the ocean floor. Letter-writing was a major activity, and stfnists depended on hcs of the past as much as, or more than, prozines for sustenance.

1959, Richard "Dick" Harris Eney, Fancyclopedia II, Numerical Fandoms:

The Grennells were making their first visit to the home of the Scion of Eofandom in ten years, having last visited here in 1955 while the house was being built.

1966 November, Bob Tucker, “How I Plotted To Get DAG Flang”, in Science-Fiction Five-Yearly, number 4, page 10:

A Fan History Lounge would be a great way to educate modern-day fans about Eofandom, fanac during World War II, and so on.

2009 November, John Purcell, “From the Hinterlands”, in Askance, volume 3, number 5 (whole number #17), page 21:

(dated, fandom slang) The earliest period of science fiction fandom (1930–1933).

marsling

From Mars + -ling, modelled after earthling.

And that the first communication and transaction between earthlings and marslings — or venusites or mercurians — would be a lumber deal.

1953, Crow's Forest Products Digest - Volume 31

An inhabitant or being from Mars; a Martian.

Duneverse

I got the impression it was more how the major powers in the Duneverse exerted power than a power source in itself (hence why Mohiam didn't mention it in her little talk).

2003 January 25, Michael Bruner, “Re: CHOAM”, in alt.fan.dune (Usenet):

And all the Fans of Dune (the Novel) I know in real life have always agreed with me that the mini-series was much better than the movie in portaying^([sic]) the Duneverse.

2003 November 12, Thirsty Viking [username], “Re: Dune Slave -- Life of the Party -- Spoilers”, in alt.tv.angel (Usenet):

Given that all other current-day religions have turned into something unrecognizable in the Duneverse, it does seem a bit odd to have a "Rabbi" running around. But I haven't read the later Frank Herbert books, so it's possible he explained it there.

2006 April 22, Andrew Wheeler, “Re: Hunters of Dune - everybody is back from the dead, links to Earth?”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The fictional universe which serves as the setting for the Dune novels.

robocop

From robo- + cop, after the film RoboCop (1987).

1990, Library and Information Technology Association (U.S.). National Conference, Michael Gorman, Convergence: Proceedings of the Second National Conference...
As the World Wars were succeeded by the Korean War, which melded into the Vietnam War, science fiction pictured numerous dystopias controlled by means of ever-watchful computer and robocops.

Opposite of natural monsters there are technological monsters such as terminators, cyborgs, and robocops—all of which undermine dichotomies between the artificial and the organic, the prosthetic and the natural.

2010, Tyson E. Lewis, Richard Kahn, Education Out of Bounds, page 1:

(science fiction) A cyborg police officer.


scientific romance

en-noun

scientific romance (countable and uncountable, plural scientific romances)

Among the younger men who were winning fame—with the surge and thunder that heralded the youth of the nineties—was Rudyard Kipling; the seething brain of H. G. Wells was boiling over into scientific romance; and old romance was brought to life by the charm of Anthony Hope.

1921, Stephen McKenna, chapter II, in While I Remember:

(dated) Science fiction, especially its early form in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.


scientifictionist

I correspond with a great number of scientifictionists, and I know they have remarked to me a number of times that AMAZING STORIES ran letters of theirs nine or ten months after they had been submitted.

1933 April, Forrest J Ackerman, Amazing Stories, volume 8, number 1, page 88:

Professional editors like Palmer call all people who buy their magazines pretty regularly, fans; and indeed the term is so used by the scientifictionists who merely write letters to the editor and collect pro mags, but the fen of fandom have a more restricted meaning in mind.

1944, John Bristol Speer, Fancyclopedia, Fan:

This is failure and the machine is worthless, except for "psychic research". Why, I can't see! So our hero smashes it and goes off to marry the faithful young woman. Make up your mind whether it is supposed to be a tragedy, but to a scientifictionist it definitely is.

1945 December, Michael Rosenblum, “What They Are About”, in Chanticleer, number 3, page 23:

By inviting authors to write a story around a perfectly meaningless piece of imagery by artist Paul, he discovered several useful contributors, not least among them the lady scientifictionist who, we are somewhat shocked to find, is now a grandmother.

1947 August-September, Thomas Sheridan, “The Feminine Touch”, in Fantasy Review, volume 1, number 4, page 15:

(dated, fandom slang) A fan or creator of science fiction; one involved in some aspect of science fiction.


Superwholock

Blend of Supernatural (U.S. TV series) + Doctor Who + Sherlock (TV series).

blend

This show is one of my favorites, so much so that even I am a part of the Superwholock fandom.

2013, Nicholas Howe, "TV with Nic: BBC's Sherlock", The SCC Challenge (Southeast Community College), Volume 28, Number 3, 14 February 2013, page 6

The nascent fandom of SuperWhoLock (a fandom of Supernatural, Doctor Who, and the BBC’s Sherlock) exemplifies this playfulness: fans mix and match texts to create unique fan texts outside what canon offers.

2013 April 29, Paul Booth, “Reifying the Fan: Inspector Spacetime as Fan Practice”, in Popular Communication: The International Journal of Media and Culture, volume 11, number 2, page 151:

Gif fics are not proprietary to the SuperWhoLock fandom.

2013, Nistasha Perez, "Gif Fics and the Rebloggable Canon of SuperWhoLock", in Fan Phenomenon: Doctor Who (ed. Paul Booth), Intellect Books (2013), published 15 August 2013, page 152

Janto

At end of the 3 min 50 sec clip, as his rage cools, Hitler says: "Maybe if Jack and Ianto have lots of man-on-man action next season I might still watch it… at least I’ll have my 'Janto' fix."

2008 May 23, Matthew Moore, “Torchwood attacked by Hitler in YouTube spoof”, in The Telegraph:

‘Janto’ fans will be delighted to finally see them on a date, complete with hand-holding and one good kiss.

2009 March, Naomi Westerman, book review, Whotopia, number 16, page 42:

Whether these stories revisit Janto or provide Jack with other (sexual) adventures, sexuality will remain a key element in the further development of (at least British-based) Captain Jack.

2010, Lynnette Porter, Tarnished Heroes, Charming Villains and Modern Monsters: Science Fiction in Shades of Gray on 21st Century, McFarland, →ISBN, page 70:

(fandom slang) The romantic pairing of the characters Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones from the television series Torchwood.

quantum teleportation

(quantum mechanics) quantum teleportation (instantaneous transference of a quantum state to a distant location)


blastor

Well it was for me that, in obedience to Hul Jok's imperative command, I was holding my Blastor pointing ahead of me; for as I blundered full upon the monstrosity it upheaved its ugly bulk—how I do not know, for I saw no legs nor did it have wings—to one edge and would have flopped down upon me, but instinctively I slid forward the catch on the tiny Blastor, and the foul thing vanished—save for a few fragments of its edges—smitten into nothingness by the vibration hurled forth from that powerful little disintegrator.

1925 April, Nictzin Dyalhis, “When the Green Star Waned”, in Weird Tales, volume 5, number 4, page 6:

(science fiction) Alternative form of blaster (“hand weapon”)

Treknical (comparative more Treknical, superlative most Treknical)

more Treknical (comparative)
most Treknical (superlative)

(derogatory) pertaining to treknobabble (the fake technical writing or speech featured in Star Trek).


Trek

Spock’s half-brother Cybok virtually brought Kirk and McCoy to their knees with a simple imposing of their own self-reflection. […] it gave the writers of Trek a generic bad guy that is best described as a eccentric-lunatic genius on a personal quest which consequently affects the universe on a catastrophic level.

1994 November 22, James A. Kimble, “Part V Revisited in Star Trek Generations”, in The Connector, volume XXII, number 11, Lowell, Mass.: University of Massachusetts Lowell, page 15, column 1:

Treknology

Blend of Trek (“Star Trek”) + technology.

blend

Over the years, the supporting information for all of this faux “Treknology” has become nearly as complex as you'd expect the real technology to be and has been refined to the finest of arts.

2012, William Shatner, I'm Working On That: A Trek From Science Fiction To Science Fact, unnumbered page:

The possibilities and challenges introduced by even our most basic versions of the holodeck and replicator may seem small in comparison to the most significant breakthrough of Treknology—the transporter.

2015, Douglas Brode, Shea T. Brode, The Star Trek Universe: Franchising the Final Frontier, page 38:

For design-oriented fans grappling with constant changes presented by the franchise's expansion and evolution, the details of visualized “Treknology” such as warp-nacelle configuration, transporter range, and the correct color of phaser beams are sites of intense negotiation over authenticity and allegiance.

2018, Bob Rehak, More Than Meets the Eye: Special Effects and the Fantastic Transmedia Franchise, page 54:

(fandom slang) The fictional science and technology featured in the Star Trek franchise.

finishipper

Yes, I'm a shipper! I feel that M and S secretly love each other, but can't express their feelings right now due to their partnership. so I'm technically a finishipper!

1999 February 23, Jewlz! [username], “This is where I stand..”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I have some respect for the views of the finishippers, as they realize that a romance would ruin the show, so they'll put it off till the end.

1999 July 11, Marita the Land Manatee [username], “Re: NRMTPB”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I think that if they showed us a consummation or even a simple acknowlegement of their wuv at the end of the series, there would be no way they could focus on it, except in a movie, and even then, I wouldn't want more than one or two scenes that acknowlege^([sic]) the relationship. I guess that makes me more of a finishipper.

2000 May 3, Kool Kristen [username], “Re: All Things Re-Examined”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) A shipper of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully who only wanted the pair to become romantically involved at the end of the series.


Trekfic

At any rate, the first Trekfic I posted was non-slash, and I'm pretty much rampantly bifictional in my reading, although I don't like most het (probably because I don't have good enough filters in place to eliminate the bad stuff).

2000 June 22, laura jacquez valentine, “Re: Slash versus non-slash”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

Lois McMaster Bujold, according to reports, wrote a Trekfic which contained the seeds from which grew some of her Vorkosigan series.

2005 May 29, Sea Wasp [username], “Re: AKICIF: Fanfic writers turning pro”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom (Usenet):

Well, it's my first Trekfic, so I'd agree. :)

galactography

Either galactic + -graphy or blend of galactic + geography. Coined by American science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1950 in the final installment of the novella "...And Now You Don't" (collected as part of Second Foundation).

coin

‘Galactography,’ said the mayor, ‘is our greatest enemy. Our admirals make no secret of our almost hopeless, strategic position.’

1950 January, Isaac Asimov, “...And Now You Don't”, in Astounding Science-Fiction, volume 44, number 5, page 113:

Well, one knows that. I mean, one studies galactography and gets to recognize the stars with inhabited planets in the sky at night.

1960, John Brunner, Slavers of Space, Ace Books, page 22:

(science fiction) The science of charting and mapping galaxies.


galactographer

From galactography (“science of charting and mapping galaxies”) + -er. Coined by American science fiction author Edmond Hamilton in his 1965 novelette The Shores of Infinity.

suffix

Early galactographers had defined it as that part of the galaxy which lay between the eastern and southern kingdoms, and the edge of the island-universe.

1965 April, Edmond Hamilton, “The Shores of Infinity”, in Amazing Stories, volume 39, number 4, page 24:

It seems like these 'cats might be left over from wetter days. I found a brief study of Rhyl done by a couple galactographers, and they reported this was once a cooler planet.

1978, Robert Edward Vardeman, The Sandcats of Rhyl, →ISBN:

Some galactographers have estimated that there may be up to ten thousand inhabited planets that aren't listed at all.

1982, Isaac Asimov, Foundation's Edge, →ISBN, page 99:

(science fiction) A specialist in galactography.


galactographic

en-adj

galactographic (comparative more galactographic, superlative most galactographic)

more galactographic (comparative)

From galactography (“science of charting and mapping galaxies”) + -ic. Coined by American science fiction author Isaac Asimov in 1950 in the final installment of the novella "...And Now You Don't" (collected as part of Second Foundation).

suffix

Nor were the galactographic verities of the situation lost upon Stettin.

1950 January, Isaac Asimov, “...And Now You Don't”, in Astounding Science-Fiction, volume 44, number 5, page 115:

Is there some place here where we can make some galactographic computations?

1969 May, Edmond Hamilton, “The Horror from the Magellanic”, in Amazing Stories, volume 43, number 1, page 11:

This new planet didn't have a name. It could just about support life, but not a lot, and as opposed to Beta Caprisis—where entirely too many interesting things had happened for it to be inhabited—this planet simply wasn't interesting enough. It had a galactographic classification, in a desultory sort of way, but for various reasons you‟re not going to get it out of me.

1999, Dave Stone, The Mary-Sue Extrusion, →ISBN:

(science fiction) Pertaining to galactography; to the charting and mapping galaxies.

Vancian

en-adj

Vancian (comparative more Vancian, superlative most Vancian)

more Vancian (comparative)
most Vancian (superlative)

Vance has, in short, more than any other science fiction writer ‘colonised’ the entirely new imaginative space created by the nineteenth- and twentieth-century science of anthropology, […] Is it merely local colour? To answer that, one has to note, beneath the constant Vancean surface of strange ‘xenography’,⁸ the recurrent Vancean theme of human ‘plasticity’.

2016, Tom Shippey, ““People are Plastic”: Jack Vance and the Dilemma of Cultural Relativism”, in Hard Reading: Learning from Science Fiction, Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, →ISBN, →JSTOR, page 111:

I love Muldertorture as much as anyone, but that was without a doubt the most disgusting XF episode I have ever seen.

2000 April 16, Circe, “Brand X Blathering”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

She writes a lot of series, so that should keep me busy. And they're all lovely and angsty, with lots of Muldertorture.

2001 April 14, Angela, “Re: If you had to choose one author...”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Physical and psychological harm inflicted on the character Fox Mulder.


Duchovbot

The duchovbots had nothing to do with it. Season 8 stunk big time. Not even David could make it any better.

2001 July 29, Marlene Steinberg, “Re: Short XF Season Survey!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

The Duchovbots seem to be waaay to^([sic]) eager to forget that the *only* reason we ever got Doggett was cuz DD wanted out.

2002 May 21, spookycc [username], “Re: The Truth From The Gut”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

If it had taken a ratings dive, Fox would never have renewed the show for Season 9 because all FOX cares about is making money. I realize the Duchovbot spinmeisters compared the show from Season to Season but that's not how the game is played.

2004 March 24, Laura Capozzola, “Re: Question Season 8 + 9, Possible spoilers”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang, derogatory) A fan of The X-Files who stopped watching or enjoyed the series less after actor David Duchovny's departure.


Mulderangst

Well, what can I say, I've discovered that I like Mulderangst and can't get enough of it.

1996 October 24, Esther Walker, “The Brotherhood 1/14”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

"3" is only bearable if you are an X-Phile, because you can derive some satisfaction from the Mulderangst over missing-and-presumed-dead Scully, and the fact that Mulder is getting some.

1998 October 4, wherever [username], “Re: Worst Episode”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Perhaps the best piece of straight Mulderangst I've ever read and set to the harsh strains of one of my favorite poets -- T.S. Eliot. Not for the faint of heart, but an excellent journey into the dark caverns of Mulder's motivations and obsessions.

2000 August 23, swikstr [username], “Re: Classic Fics--which ones?”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Emotional distress experienced by the character Fox Mulder.


Scullyangst

We don't have enough Scullyangst with dead family members and terminal brain cancer?

1997 March 24, autumnt, “REVIEW: Autumn's "Max" Review - SPOILERS”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

With Melissa and even Queequeg, there was deep Scullyangst.

1997 March 27, Gil Trevizo, “Re: And another thing about walking into bullets ... <usual spoilers>”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Any scene involving Scullyangst gets me teary.

1998 May 27, SandyW7592, “Re: which epsiode made you cry?( you can play too, guys.)”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Emotional distress experienced by the character Dana Scully.

friendshipper

This is an MSR, all friendshippers beware.

1997 May 23, TempusX [username], “NEW: After The Louvre - 1/1 (MSR/NC-17)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Some of us are friendshippers, some of us are relationshippers of one variety or another -- some of us want to see a Mulder/Scully relationship occur during the course of the series, while some of us prefer to maintain the slow seduction until the series' end -- but we are all captivated by the intense and uncommon TRUST displayed between the characters.

1998 July 2, JLangly, “Shippers have SAVED The X-Files!!!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Ok do any other shippers out there just feel like becoming a friendshipper. Mulder has turned into the Ass Hole^([sic]) of the year, and I wouldn't want Scully to take him if he cam^([sic]) knocking on her door with a dozen red roses, and Diana's head in a box.

1999 February 15, SoulM E MS [username], “Shipper?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) A person who would prefer Fox Mulder and Dana Scully's relationship to remain platonic.

That doesn't leave room for much X-Files'''y speculation about the nature of the universe — yet that doesn't stop Carter from trying to inject some intellectual spookiness.

1996, Television Guide, volume 44, unnumbered page:

Spooky posters on the walls of dragon sightings, werewolves in Hungary, and a black and white print of a dead sea monster in Canada. Back in the world of Wayne Phelps but nice and X-Filesy, if it came down to it.

Philedom

I have too many friends in Philedom. It's going to be very interesting to see how we survive the 8th season and still keep our Internet communities in tact.^([sic])

2000 October 5, Bast Black, “The X-File season 8 promo from the gut.”, in alt.fan.david-duchovny (Usenet):

He only said that the changes made in those seasons divided Philedom in an unprecendented^([sic]) fashion, and that the ratings dropped drastically.

2002 June 17, Anna, “Re: XF Worst Survivor Round 6”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

It could have been the only episode that *all* factions of Philedom might dislike.

2002 October 20, W. Blaine Dowler, “Re: OOPS! Make that 9 seasons!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

In the case of the Cybermen the Vaderesque trappings, and the incongruous displays of emotion, were rapidly stripped away.

Adopting a Vaderesque voice, he intoned, “Luke, I am your federal agent. Somehow it doesn't have the same kick. […]

Jack picked up two lunch kits from the counter and tossed them into the autocook.

(science fiction) A machine that prepares and dispenses meals.


Lostie

I would guess that the answers to many of the questions will be found among the Others so that's where the story needs to focus. None of the Lostie beach scenes this season have advanced the current story line or taken us in a new direction […] I'd rather see the show move forward with the Others than putter around with the Losties.

2006 November 9, alooo, “Re: Way too much Kate/Jack/Sawyer this season.”, in alt.tv.lost (Usenet), message-ID <oCz4h.2987$IR4.1989@newssvr25.news.prodigy.net>:

(fandom slang) Any of the fictional characters in the television drama Lost who become stranded on a mysterious island.

Once it started, me and millions of future Losties saw the most expensive episode in TV history, as well as one of the most intense and mysterious.

2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, iUniverse, →ISBN, page 2:

Even though I was an enthusiastic Lostie from the start, I was grateful for the Guide, if only because it reassured me that I wasn't the only one having trouble keeping track.

2011, Richard Davies, “Lost in Lost's Times”, in Sharon Kaye, editor, Ultimate Lost and Philosophy: Think Together, Die Alone, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 9:

I'm a Lostie through and through. For those of you who may not know what that is, you probably never paid much attention to the award-winning television show Lost.

computerette

One tiny cassette holds 8000 2000-mile routes, any of which can be exposed at will. It is not hard to imagine the ACD — and its associated computerette — becoming a splended "optional extra" in the vacationer's family car.

1968, Popular Mechanics, volume 129, number 3, page 115:

Highly robotic for her time, Baby Luna came with her moon landing module, crashball, computerette, star maps, space suit, dragon robe and other clothes.

Roko's basilisk

Proposed as a transhumanist thought experiment in 2010 by user Roko on the LessWrong Internet discussion forum.
According to LessWrong, discussion of Roko's basilisk was banned from the forum for several years as part of a general policy against spreading potential information hazards. This in fact drew further attention to the topic, and other websites began sharing information about it.

2020, Griffin Kao, Jessica Hong, Michael Perusse, Weizhen Sheng, Turning Silicon into Gold, Springer (Apress), page 177,
Roko's Basilisk closely resembles traditional religious belief systems, merely replacing the role of God with a super-AI instead.

2021, Richard Heimann, Doing AI, BenBella Books (Matt Holt Books), page 137,
Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment about the potential risks involved in developing so-called true artificial intelligence. The premise is that an all-powerful artificial super-intelligence could retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence. Roko's Basilisk resembles a futurist version of Pascal's Wager in that it suggests people should weigh the possible infinite gain and infinite punishment for accepting or rejecting the creation of artificial super-intelligence.

Roko's Basilisk has been described as the most terrifying thought experiment of all time, or as Slate’s David Auerbach subtitled his 2014 article: "Why Are Techno-futurists So Freaked Out by Roko's Basilisk?"

2023, James B. Miles, AI and the End of Humanity, Troubador Publishing (Matador), page 168:

artificial intelligence
artificial intelligence

A hypothetical, otherwise benevolent artificial intelligence of the future that would have an incentive to torture anyone who, having imagined (or even heard about) said AI, had not helped bring about its existence; the thought experiment which posits its existence.

2016 October 25, Eric Mack, “'Back to the Future' predicted this World Series, sort of”, in C/NET:

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael J. Fox was the first person to get a pair of the power-lace shoes last year, "coinciding with Back to the Future Day on Oct. 21, 2015, the exact future date in Back to the Future: Part II that Marty travels to from 1985."

bottle episode

/ˈbɒtəl ˈɛpɪsəʊd/

Said to be from the term “ship-in-a-bottle episode”, the nickname given by the cast and crew of the television series Star Trek (originally broadcast 1966–1969) to an episode set entirely on board the starship USS Enterprise.

That's pretty much what a "bottle" episode is; one that uses minimal sets, guest stars, effects, etc, and/or uses lots of clips from past episodes, in order to make a much cheaper episode.

1996 February 12, Janet A. Dornhoff, “What are they filming now?”, in alt.tv.forever-knight (Usenet), message-ID <4fno37$t28@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu>:

One of Wright's great strengths as a screenwriter and producer is his ability to design bottle episodes—shows filmed with the goal of saving money—and turn them into riveting, compelling dramas where the viewer forgets that they are watching a bottle show.

1998, Cinefantastique, volume 30, Oak Park, Ill.: Frederick S. Clarke, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 82:

Even though they are moving, for large stretches 'Spiral' is a bottle episode.

2004, Roz Kaveney, “Writing the Vampire Slayer: Interviews with Jane Espenson and Steven S. DeKnight”, in Roz Kaveney, editor, Reading the Vampire Slayer: The New, Updated, Unofficial Guide to Buffy and Angel, 2nd revised and expanded edition, New York, N.Y.: Tauris Parke Paperbacks, I.B. Tauris, →ISBN, page 125:

By the 2000s, the airwaves seemed full of shows not just making reference to other pop culture "images," but wholly based on pop culture. [...] Community regularly turned episodes into extended homages to M*A*S*H, Doctor Who, and Christmas Claymation specials. In "Cooperative Calligraphy," the show presents a "bottle episode," during which Abed repeatedly reminds everyone they are in a "bottle episode," pointing out each characteristic of such episodes as it occurs.

2018, M. King Adkins, “‘These are Their Stories’: Postmodern Spaces”, in Television Storyworlds as Virtual Space, Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, Rowman & Littlefield, →ISBN, page 122:

(originally US, television) An episode of a television series designed to be inexpensive and restricted in its use of sets, effects, cast members, etc.
