The Friday quiz. Some strange spatial anomalies for you to identify

We wanted to challenge you with something truly sci-fi to celebrate the relaunch of the site this week, and what could be more sci-fi than a swirling, interdimensional vortex? Jumpgates, stargates, portals, black holes, wormholes – they're a mainstay of visual science fiction. And it's quite a feat to take a word like wormhole and transform it in popular imagination from something dank, brown and slimy to something glittery and awesome. Wonder if the genre could do the same trick with "toenail clippings"?

We also reckon this one is rather tricky – because you probably know them all, but can you actually tell them apart? All you have to do is work out what film, TV show or game they come from.

As usual, please don't put answers in the comments section below (though feel free to use it to boast/bemoan how well/badly you're doing) but this thread is quite happy for you to post and discuss answers if you follow the golden rule of only posting answers in invisible text (if you don't know how ask somebody there – they're very friendly).

Answers on Monday. Or Tuesday if they fall through a temporal anomaly.
