EXAMPLE: The USS Discovery from 2001:Space Odyssey is at D9

Centauri from The Last Starfighter - 9Y

The bots from Batteries Not Included are in the same area 10V/Z

impressive, somebody went all out making this too bad they couldn't draw any better or some of those characters might be more recognisable.

X2 is Robin Williams/Mork in Mork & Mindy.

The "Alien" from "Alien" M12

...you know what I don't see? Futurama.

My circuits are overloading with this one! I'll just do a quick fly by for now.

Futurama? so far, I spy 2-alienns @L-12. Korben Dallas from 5th Element standing in front of his taxi. Going up, there's Superman, to his right (behind him) is the Martian craft from War of the Worlds. further right is Nomaad from Star Trek TOS. Back over and above Superman are the 3 Droids from Silent Running. Above them is Wall-E & Eve. Up still @ C-12 is the ear-burrowing creature from Star Trek Wrath of Khan. At B-11 we have 2 Gremlins.And that robotic eye reading the chart is the robot from The Flight of the Navigator. Moving left, I spot an old "Eagle" spacecraft from Space 1999@C-06! Skipping most of the rest of the ships are well-known, On the left side @ A-02, is the Defiant from ST DS9. Below it is the Gunstar from Last Starfighter. Moving down to I-02, we find Maximillian from The Black Hole keeping an eye on VINCENT in front of him. LOL! Check out the writing behind them! "They Live We Sleep" is from John Carpenter's They Live. "Kuato Lives" is from Total Recall. Right below is the Doctor's Police Box! To the left of that is a Stargate ring with Bill & Ted inside. That redheaded chap is Sting's Harkonan character from Dune. Moving across the balcony is a myriad of babes from Metropolis, Star Trek and Farscape. Leeloo is also there from 5th Element. Of course the band from Star Wars is accompanied by DATA from ST TNG and vocals by Maïwenn of 5th Element and Jabba the Hutt listens in the background. At the front of them is Twiki from Buck Rogers. Hovering n front of the railing is Rigel from Farscape. Hovering above ad to the right (J-08) is Weebo from Flubber.
...
Now, to my favorite section: Robot Row @ K-07 to k-10. There's Klatu & Gort from the day the Earth Stood Still. Left to Right : B9 Robot from Lost in Space(tos), Robot from the 1998 Movie and the Robotic lifeform from the 2016 reboot. Then Robbie the Robot (Forbidden Planet, et al). That might be Bender from Futurama next to him. That's Marvin looking depressed. He's from the 2005 remake of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. Next to him is the Lawgiver statue from the Planet of the Apes franchise. At the end of the balcony is Lionel of the Thundercats.

I'm going to stop there and give someone else a turn.

Glad you're enjoying the game, and the artwork.

I forgot to mention at the top of the thread, as a side-game for fans of "Where's Waldo?", he's in there somewhere...

I don't think he's in there.. but has anyone spotted Waldo?

T-7.5 Teddy from A.I.

Princess Aura (Ming's daughter) from Flash Gordon R7

I'm surprised no one has mentioned a gem of a vignette starting at the table located in P-11. Lo and behold Capt. Kirk arm wrestling with Han Solo of all people! Surrounding them in clockwise rotation starting @P-10 are 3 Stormtroopers. Behind them are "Muad Dib" from Dune and "Ruby Rhod" in white from 5th Elemennt.

Above them are Several Star Trek TOS characters : 2 Talosions from Talos IV, a Gorn (Dragon Man), an Orion Slave Girl, a Mugato (white-horned gorilla), 2 Ferengi. In front of them left to right are Commander Ryker, Capt. Picard (facealming), Mr. Spock & Doctor Mccoy. At O-11.5 you will see "Q" as he first appeared in TNG.

Continuing clockwise at )-11, Supporting the Star Wars Team are 4 supporting aliens including an Ewok, Princess Leia, C3P0 and R2-D2.

At P-12, that's Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Next to the Mugato is the Rock Monster from Galaxy Quest @ N-10.25.

The little yellow W at I3 is The Weyland-Yutani Corporation logo from the Alien franchise.

Hats off to @Lurkio and to the artist Jeff Carlisle for this very seductive thread. All us SiFi addicts will keep this tread active for quite a while. I’ve recognized 30 and still counting.

Seeing as Robot Waldo was found so easily, here's a new side-game for you all.

It's called 'The Trouble With Tribbles...'

There are at least TEN Tribbles from Star Trek dotted randomly about the scene, see if you can find them all.
