Ever wonder what placenames you would use if you were colonizing a planet? I'm not sure I could resist things like Seattle 2 and New New York.

I really liked that Titan AE actually included, upon discovery of a new planet, lines of dialog a lot like

"What should we call it?"
"How about Bob?"
"You can't name a planet Bob!"

And then it cut to a scene set there, with the tagline [Planet Bob] twenty years later or whatever. It always struck me as charming and believably done.

As if that movie hadn't been awesome enough, that exchange was the extra sprinkles on top of the icing.
