An Anthem of Nineties Sentiment
Something happened around 1992 that was more gripping to the young anklebiters or, dare I say, rugrats of the world, than Bill Clinton’s presidency or the separation of Prince Charles and Princess Diana or the birth of Miley Cyrus. True, the gelatinous, green substance known as “slime” had existed since the days of You Can’t Do That On Television, starring the glorious, pocketed-hand Alanis Morissette.

Good Intentions Gone Wrong
As a kid, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was my favorite show to watch. I would race home after school, get my mom to turn on Fox Kids, and enjoy the next 30 minutes of karate-chopping, sword-wielding, back-flipping teenagers fighting against the forces of evil. The show premiered on August 28, 1993 and was the first entry to the Power Rangers franchise in the US. The series was popular enough to get a feature film, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, released by 20th Century Fox on June 30, 1995.

Severus Snape: Good, Bad, or Both?
As a loyal D.A. member, supporter of S.P.E.W., fan of the Holyhead Harpies, and Potterhead extraordinaire I have been in my fair share of debates concerning the one and only Professor Severus Snape. I've heard it all: from Snape being solely responsible for Harry's success to Snape being the reason Harry's life was so terrible in the first place. Of course, I do hold my own opinions on the matter, however, I would like to give you both sides of the debate. Once you finish reading, feel free to share on social media with your personal thoughts!
