I never watched Babylon 5 as a kid, it just seemed too diplomatic and Deep Space Niney for me. Though seeing some clips on youtube while making this piece make me kind of interested. It looks sufficiently interesting and cheesy for my taste.
Londo Mollari is a Centauri alien and appears to be one of the main antagonist and or protagonist, guess I didn't do enough research.
If sci-fi shows have taught me anything it is that alien species always have a unifying haircut and some type of uniform. I just hope that when it comes time for humans to choose the haircut we all have to have we don't vote for this Amadeus monstrosity.

Does he stay Crunchy?
It seems like most cereal aimed at kids is basically sugar flavored corn puffs of some sort. Not that this is the worst thing in the world, I still frequently eat kids cereal for my breakfast despite being in my late twenties. The main thing that differentiates these cereals tends to be the cartoon character on the cover.

The Lonely Captain
Pikmin was kind of a weird game when it came out for the Gamecube. It was a kind of a real time strategy game mixed with a bit of adventure. For the non-geek out there, that means you created stuff to fight bad guys and explore the world. The interesting thing about Pikmin was instead of building tanks or flamethrower units you befriended local creatures (the titular Pikmin) and taught them the horrors of war.
You played as Captain Olimar, whose spaceship crash landed on the earth like planet. Due to oxygen being poisonous to Olimar he had to plan his escape from the planet in 30 days. Depending on how many goals you accomplished through the course of the game you would get a couple different endings. Either Olimar would die (but be resurrected as a Pikmin yourself) or fly back to his planet while the Pikmin try to figure out how to satiate their bloodlust.

And the Space Oscar goes to...
Marvel comic's space gods are always kinda weird and interesting to me. Manifestations of space and time that just float around being omnipotent, occasionally revealing themselves to some Superhero if some weird cosmic imbalance shows up.
This is the Living Tribunal, the only force more powerful than him is The One Above All (i.e. God) So that's a fancy way to say that he could beat up the Hulk (even if the Hulk was really angry) and Ben Grimm combined. He has four rotating sides to his head that represent Equity, Vengeance, Necessity, and Nothing.
And my picks for the best picture Oscar this year....The King's Speech.
Even though I've yet to see it, the trailer looks quite good.

Titan
Saturn Girl is a telepath from Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Beyond that I don't really know, make mine Marvel and all...
And since I don't know to much about her enjoy a picture of her in her original costume with her boyfriend Lightning Lad.

Wookie Balls
Star Trek has a rich supply of aliens. Many though are just an actor with a little latex or a stupid haircut. Not theses guys though...
Tribbles are little asexual balls of fur that breed like crazy. In fact they are born pregnant. Whenever they show up in the show they end up multiplying out of control consuming resources at a dangerous rate. Otherwise they are completely harmless and kind of cute, even Spock thought they had a calming purr.

And if you are insane you can buy an actual tribble that was used in the series.

You smell Bacon?
I remember playing Duke Nukem quite a bit when I was a kid. I don't think I ever got very far as it got pretty tough for me, the whole mouse and keyboard controlling was really tough compared to using a SNES controller. I do know that I would always play until I could get to the strippers, what 14 year old boy didn't though.
The pig cops are one of the main baddies in the series, I hated the flying ones. You can't tell in this picture but I always thought it was funny that on the body armor it says L.A.R.D.

It eats you Alive
Alien invasion movies made these days are often about explosions and giant hovering ships. Back in the day a weird creature would wind up on Earth accidentally and start causing mild trouble much to the chagrin of the local teens and disbelieving law enforcement.
The Blob is an alien organism that crashes to earth in a meteorite. It's kind of like an amoeba, just creeping along devouring everything in it's path. I think I like the 80's remake the most, it was just a little cheesier and packed with great Blob kills. Never saw Son of Blob though, it looks like it would be pretty bad/good.

Nice Belt
There was a time when I devoured everything Dragonball. It's weird seeing it still on tv and the new releases of videogames despite the fact that it's been over for around 15 years.

Professor Alien
There are gonna be a whole bunch of random aliens who I have no idea who they are. Most are gonna be of the "fairly humanoid, face bumps, were on a show on the Sci-Fi network for a season and a half till it got canceled" variety.

Personal Space
Like any upstanding geek, I have a soft spot for old arcade games. I think Pac-Man is my favorite but there are no aliens to be found in that game.

At least it was Cauterized
Mos Eisley (a wrenched hive of scum and villainy naturally) from Star Wars is gonna provided me with a huge amount of random aliens for this project, specifically the Cantina scene. One hard thing about this project is finding less known aliens. Luckily if a character shows up for even 5 seconds in a Star Wars movie there probably is a whole book based on them.

Echo....Echo...Echo
I've never seen the kids show "Ben10" but it seems like a fun enough program. I think the premise is that a kid finds a alien wristband thing that lets him turn into 10 different alien forms, each with it's own special ability. I'm guessing he uses the power to fight other aliens, or maybe an evil organization like team Rocket?
This is one of his forms EchoEcho, actually I guess it's his super form. Probably once they ran out of toys to make for the show each character got an super form so that there would be more toys to sell.

Funky
I really enjoy a good cooperative multiplayer videogame. The sad thing is they are pretty rare, even more so back in the days of the Sega Genesis.
I have no idea how much time I sunk into Toejam & Earl when I was a kid. The premise was that two street smart aliens from the planet Funkotron crash their ship on Earth. It's up to you and a friend to collect all the missing parts of the ship while collecting powerups and avoiding all the dangerous earthlings.

Fighting Evil by Moonlight
I just re-watched a couple of Sailor Moon episodes while working on this piece. It's been ages since I've seen that show and had completely forgotten about these baddies.
Ann and her brother Ail (put 'em together and it sounds like Alien) are the last of their race. The two went undercover as human siblings on Earth where they have an evil tree that steals energy. No matter who the enemies in Sailor Moon were it seemed like they always wanted to steal energy, either from a kooky computer programs or evil gyms.
