Star Trek TOS: The Galileo Seven
"The Galileo Seven" is classic Star Trek, a nail-biter featuring a crash-landing by the away team on a hostile alien world—a nightmarish place where huge, shambling bear-creatures, seen only from behind, attack the stranded shuttle crew under the command of Spock. The heart of the episode lies in the interplay between Spock's will to command, his unshakable devotion to logic (here revealed not as innate, but as something he must consciously practice and struggle to maintain), and his need to “humanize” his leadership. Boma, the only Black man aboard the shuttle, takes exception to Spock’s seemingly callous, machine-like demeanor (he even uses that word as an insult). Inside, though, Spock shows insecurity: a constant battle between fear and logic, duty and compassion.

Dr. Who: Destiny of the Daleks
I suppose it was high time I got around to writing about Dr. Who—the seemingly endless BBC serial starring a multiplicity of continually “regenerating” Doctors (Gallifreyan Time Lords), but most famously starring the quintessential Doctor, the one everyone—and I mean EVERYONE—most associates with the role: the redoubtable elder statesman of Time Lording, Tom Baker. (No relation, BTW.)

One Half Terror
“We're prisoners of our own progress, manacled by squawking machines.” — "The Murderer," Ray Bradbury Theater (1990) The Ray Bradbury Theater is one of television’s all-time greats—a deeply lyrical and darkly poetic half-hour journey into the heart of an ever-swirling mysterious world, wherein we’re gifted with Ray’s singular visions of the present and, most especially, the future—marked by aberration, but still clinging, like a drop of dandelion wine, to the lip of our humanity. Waiting to be sipped by lips we dream of kissing—or to fall, unclaimed, into the looming void below.
