Taxi Driver, the claustrophobic street classic by Martin Scorsese, is a deeply nuanced masterpiece. Robert De Niro plays Travis Bickle, a cabdriver who wants to be a person, like other people. He could be someone like anyone else but he’s really just looking for an excuse to waste some of those other people. When he finally does, Travis is declared a hero instead of the accident-waiting-for-a-place-to-happen that he really is. Taxi Driver also features Cybill Shepherd, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel, Albert Brooks, and a phenomenal performance from a 12-year-old Jodie Foster....

Star Trek: Discovery finally casts the proverbial die in “Rubicon, an hour that sees DMA destroyed despite Michael’s–and eventually Book’s—best efforts to prevent it, an event that may well kick off an intergalactic war between the Federation and Unknown Species 10-C. Most of us probably figured something like this was going to happen just from the episode’s title, a reference to Julius Caesar’s historical crossing of the Rubicon River that kicked off a five-year Roman civil war....
