Star Trek: The Original Series - S02E01 – The Broken Circle
This is the cigar-chomping, Bloodwine-drinking version of Star Trek we’ve been waiting for. There’s a new riff on the Klingons, Hulk-out juice, and a little-known Star Trek species that finally gets its time in the spotlight. There are a few things to file under “cringe”, but it wouldn’t be Star Trek without the camp.
A Time to Kill (1996)
This movie poses the question, “How do we feel about vigilante justice?” Carl Lee Hailey, played by Samuel L. Jackson, faces trial for taking revenge on the men who brutalized his young daughter. The movie treads multiple fine lines about race, justice, and hatred in America. Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, and Donald Sutherland round out the cast in this time capsule of Hollywood’s take on justice in 1996. Does it still work?
