Article Abstract:
Hilary Palencar explores her addiction to the television series 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' in her book 'Confessions of a Trekoholic.' She became very attached to the show during a difficult time in her life, but also felt a certain shame in becoming a Trekkie. In addition, she began detecting misogyny and sexism in how female characters were treated. However, it is proposed that Palencar's analysis of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' is flawed because she makes little reference to the outside world and appears to have failed to make the distinction between science fiction and visual 'sci-fi' fantasy.

Article Abstract:
Henry James's 'In the Cage' tries to identify the queerness which manifests itself in an discerning observer with the knowledge of sexual scandals. James records the queer apprehensions of disgrace or 'ripple effects' that affect people on the periphery of illicit situations. The book is James's response to the sexual scandals and the Oscar Wilde trials of the 1890s. James's loathing and fascination with Wilde's homosexuality is represented in the heterosexual, adulterous affair between Lady Bradeen and Captain Everard.
