Let’s go back in Mr. Peabody’s “Wabach Machine” or “Way Back Machine” depending on how you remember it, to February 11th, 1998 and see a Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode called “Far Beyond the Stars.” In this story, series lead Benjamin Sisko finds himself experiencing the life of Benny Russell, a black science fiction writer in 1950s America. Russell “imagines” Deep Space Nine as a story he’s trying to sell, but struggles with the racism of the era. In the end, this is revealed as a vision sent to Sisko from the prophets in the wormhole near Deep Space Nine.…

I have read all the books and seen all the Harry Potter films but I have not as yet seen Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. That means I have some catching up to do.

Many movies enter pre-production or make it all the way through filming under the assumption that they’ll be R-Rated, only to have it changed to PG -13.…

I love fans. They are willing to debate any subject no matter what it is or how important it might actually be. Let us take up the subject of Stan Lee, who may be one of the most beloved “characters” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to his hilarious cameos in each film. (The fact that he had a hand in creating many of Marvel’s most popular characters along with Jack Kirby might also have something to do with it.) But it is not the power of his humor that is being questioned. It is the power of the Super…
