Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. — William Shakespeare

A sourced behind-the-scenes archive

Not the story you see.
The universe behind it.

Discover surprising details about films, television, games, characters, and the people who create them.

Facts compiled from public sources; notes, analyses and lists written by a human.

Facts are gathered from film, TV and game databases, encyclopedias, interviews and official statements, then translated, rewritten and edited. The editor’s notes and analyses are written entirely by the site’s founder — no AI. AI is used for translation, editing and image matching, and sometimes it creates new lists whose foundation was laid by the founder’s own lists; we say so.
