Sci-Fi Cliches or Trope-a-Dope

Found this amusing page about sci-fi tropes (with various degrees of :roll: assigned to each) from film and literature and wanted to share it with you: http://www.cthreepo.com/writing/cliche.shtml

Meh, TV tropes is better imo, that just seems rather poorly organised and put together.

Well, yes, but I think the above link is intended to be a list of amusing or facepalm-worthy cliches in sci-fi rather than a wiki of tropes found in all media.  Clearly not trying to be TV Tropes.  What could compare?
