Lore is a great character. One of the problems might have been the fact that evil twins were old hat even back then. It is quite hard to write fresh ideas for them. ''Brothers'' was one of them as it introduced the emotion chip which would become important later on. Another thing that made Lore int...

I have to admit given the Federation and their prime directive I can't blame the Bynar's for thinking they'd be left to die out. Ironically this is pretty much the entire situation with the Romulans later only they didn't come up with a solution and died out. Normally the prime directive doesn't ap...

You know it is possible to have a situation where NO ONE is in the right. However the proton packs actually function, they were specifically referred to as UNLICENSED Nuclear Accelerators. That indicates a violation of some regulation, if not actual crime, and they are full aware of it. They begin o...

I've never seen this one, somehow. I do agree that some of the best ones are the simpler, life affirming episodes where it's a more of a brush with the Twilight Zone rather than full immersion. Serling did a very good job of keeping the show balanced because the heavier morality pieces could get rea...

While never a hardcore fan, I have been in and out of the show over the years. The thing to keep in mind is that Dean had the dual issues of being his father's monster hunting sidekick AND de facto parent/protector to Sam. He has no frame of reference when it comes to a "normal life" outside of thos...

One of the thing's that occurs in subsequent episodes is that Corwin and the C&C staff give up their uniform jackets for the remainder of the series, but don't get the snazzy new duds. I don't know if it's intentional, but it's actually similar to how it was in the pilot where most of the C&C staff ...

Remember Morden, possibly other Shadow agents, was travelling to and from B5 frequently. We know at least on certain occasions he used standard transports, probably to be there legally so as to avoid questions. It's a convenient place to contact people, sew political discord, etc. He also was making...

I'd even argue that most people don't even know about the child abuse aspect of the character. I think it's interesting how Marvel characters changed a lot during the early years and then were pretty much static for much of the 70's and early 80's. Peter Parker graduate high school, went to college,...

I disagree that Supergirl was a victim of "fridging". The cover certainly makes it seem that way, but her actual death was probably the character's most awesome moment. She was the focus. It was Kara vs. The Antimonitor for the fate of the multiverse and she just kept punching and punching. Like wit...

I really don't see the big deal about fridging. In and of itself really nothing, it the fact that female characters keep getting screw over for male characters arc with no plans for what happen to them is. I just feel like its use as well as mary sue as innate pejoratives is stretching. Fridging wa...
