Since I was kid, I was obsessed with lists. I know deep down they are meaningless, everything is subjective yada yada yada. But if it weren’t for lists I wouldn’t know where to begin. They serve the purpose to show off our tastes, and what we think is important. They can open up a discussion […]

At its best, Star Trek could be a wonderful balance of science fiction adventure, as well as thought provoking allegories. The most memorable episodes of the franchise’s multiple television series usually conveyed this. They leave you with questions to ponder while also entertaining you.

I’ve been thinking a lot about America recently. It’s kinda hard not to, even when you don’t live in the country. Living in Canada, America is our closest neighbour, and I suppose it’s hard to deny the similarities and differences between the two countries.
