  • An Analytical Guide to Television’s Battlestar Galactica
    John Kenneth Muir
    When the space drama Battlestar Galactica debuted on ABC in 1978, it was expected to be the most popular new program of the year. Instead, it was attacked as a Star Wars rip-off and canceled after a mere 17 stories. The author acknowledges the show was full of dramatic cliches and scientific inaccuracies, but despite these shortcomings, Battlestar Galactica was a dramatically...

  • An Askew View
    John Kenneth Muir / John Muir / Kenneth John Muir
    When CLERKS opened at cinemas across the country in 1994, it took everyone, especially the film industry, by surprise. Filmed on a shoestring budget after hours at a convenience store, it was crude (in technique and language), realistic and, above all, hilarious. The movie’s nationwide success helped launch the indepedent film boom of the 1990s and catapulted its director, Kevi...
