BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: Harcourt Fenton Mudd
Star Trek The Original Series', Harcourt Fenton Mudd is the blue print of a villain "you love to hate" or maybe even "hate to love."
The first time we meet "Harry Mudd" is using an alias. In one hilarious scene Mudd, Spock and The Enterprises' computer go back and forth on Mudd's name and who he really is. This set a long running premise that would carry into future appearances that what Harry Mudd saw as his reality and what was legally true were often at odds.
One thing I liked about Mudd is that he seemed to be the one human in the Star Trek world that really acted like the schmucks from the 20th century.
Sure if given the chance Harry Mudd would leave you marooned on a planet with out a ship. However, he never really showed any signs of being much more than an incredible pain in the butt.
His upside is that he was funny especially in scenes when he had to interact with the super logical Mr. Spock.
According to WIKI, they had planned to bring back Harry Mudd for the season one finale of Star Trek The Next Generation but actor Roger C. Carmel passed away before shooting could begin.
I myself would have loved to see Mudd engage the Quark in a juicy story.
Easily Harry Mudd is one villain I never tire of and can't wait to see again or read about in fan fiction.

Okay thanks for reading. We have a no contest trivia question.
What was the alias that Harry Mudd used in his first appearance on Star Trek?
The first person to answer will receive a Super Man DVD from The Max and Dave Fleischer 1940's series.

BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: Anthony Freemont
BRING ON THE BAD GUYS...ANTHONY FREEMONT
CHILD ABUSE!
Words By Raymond Tyler
On November 3rd , 1961 narrator Rod Serling introduced the world to one of the most memorable monsters ever. And unlike Frankenstein or The Wolf Man, little Anthony Freemont (played by fiction and science vet Billy Mumy) looked neither scary or fearsome.
That is, until Anthony focused those eyes on you and reasoned you didn't like him.
Then things would get as bad for you as a line worker at Starbucks telling Paris Hilton there is no more avacato/lemon spice/something else absurd mocha-chino.

Anthony had the power to do anything his mind could dream up and absolutely no one to check him at all.
From the moment I saw The Twilight Zone episode IT'S A GOOD LIFE I was jealous because as a kid we were told that the monsters had fangs and long claws.
I thought writer Jerome Bixby's premise of making the monster a little boy was genious.

I believe that elements of It's a Good Life and the study of "God" in human form could be seen in later Ficton and Science offerings such as STAR TREK and Jean Grey of The X-Men (more so the Chris Claremont/John Byrne versions.

Fiction And Science.com Remembers Sherman Hemsley
Remembering Sherman Hemsley Words By Raymond Tyler!
Today we lost a great actor who blazed trails for many actors on TV.
Sherman Hemsley will indeed remember Hemsley as George Jefferson.
Here he is with another trailblazing actor Ron Glass (of Barney Miller) in what may be the best episodeof The 1980's Twilight Zone.
While I do not co sign stories about the devil...however this one is a classic.
On another Fiction and Science matter. Hemsley also played the boss at WE SAY SO on the show Dinosaurs.
He will be missed.

Happy Birthday To Trevor Von Eeden
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREVOR VON EEDON
From Fiction And Science.com
From Fiction And Science.com
Tuesday July 24th
Illustrator Trevor Von Eedon was a teen phenom when he teamed up with Tony Isabella to co-create the iconic Black Lightning for DC Comics. (1960's)
Of course Black Lightning was totally ripped off in the "creation" of Black Vulcan who appeared in Challenge Of The Super Friends. (1970's)
It was a CRIME that Black Lightning was NEVER featured in the great series Justice League Unlimited. (2000's)
However, the effects of Black Lightning is still being felt by writers and artists of all colors.
Thanks Mr. Von Eedon and please enjoy The Happiest Of Birthday's.
