Is this what it takes for Tommy Shelby to learn that he has limitations? What a cruel humbling. Cruellest of course, for Ruby – an innocent victim of being the daughter of “a character in a novel” – and for Lizzie. Natasha O’Keeffe was stunning in that final monologue, collapsed in grief and rage. The women of Peaky Blinders – Ada, Esme and Lizzie – stunned throughout this episode. Talk about gold....
Fans have waited for six months but the final half of Power Rangers Dino Fury‘s second season is finally here and has exceeded all expectations. All of the plot lines that were slowly introduced throughout the show’s run came to immensely satisfying resolutions and we were even thrown a few curve balls along the way. At the center of some of the biggest stories of the season were Red Ranger Zayto (Russell Curry) and Gold Ranger Aiyon (Jordan Fite....
That said, if you didn’t have a chance to secure yourself a PS5 this week, Sony says you shouldn’t worry about console shortages at launch. In an interview with The Washington Post, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan has assured fans that “Sony will have more PlayStation 5 units ready for sale than they had PlayStation 4 units in 2013.” The PS4 sold about 2.1 million units worldwide in its first two weeks, with 1 million of those units sold on launch day, according to WaPo....
But by and large, these arguments appear to be couched in nostalgia—a wistfulness which naturally occurs when comparing the icons of your past to the ones that seem ready to displace them in the present. Perhaps for this reason it’s easy to fall into the especially deceptive trap of contrasting “then” versus “now,” and assuming the differences occurred in a vacuum. Take the current “debate” occurring on Twitter: would a young Quentin Tarantino make (and find the same level of success) today with a movie like his seminal 1994 cultural touchstone, Pulp Fiction?...
SYFY’s Resident Alien is at its best not when it’s showing us how different Harry, an alien living in disguise on Earth, is from the humans around him but how much he—perhaps despite himself—actually has in common with them. Like many of the residents of Patience, Harry is just another being trying to belong. And over the course of the series, we’ve him explore many aspects of himself as he slowly makes sense of the oddities of human behavior and emotion, from love and affection to anger and fear....
Rick and Morty Season 6 Episode 6 When dinosaurs showed up in the spaceships from Arrival at the start of this episode, I assumed we were in for another silly, self-contained, one-off storyline and it is one, mostly. However, it turns out this is the mid-season finale and therefore a lingering conflict—namely that portal travel is still broken due to an inter-dimensional rift—finally gets resolved as well. Though the episode is mostly about Rick’s rivalry with some super-genius dinosaurs from space, the portal stuff is teased a couple of times throughout, so as to set up the fixing of the inter-dimensional rift, which happens unceremoniously right near the end....
This was a joke, of course, but it was also a stealthy shout out to what The Walking Dead could have been. Kirkman originally developed The Walking Dead as a Night of the Living Dead comic. But when Image Comics encouraged him to develop his own idea so that he could control the IP, Kirkman concocted a “Plan 9 From Outer Space-esque tale of how the zombies were actually animated by an alien race that was preparing to invade Earth by disrupting its infrastructure....
Riverdale Season 3 Episode 1 “The thing that keeps me up most nights isn’t that I might get shivved, it’s that I won’t be able to graduate with you guys.” If last year was all about Archie making bad decisions, this season has him looking to redeem himself for the sins of the past…by making brand new bad decisions. Instead of doing the reasonable thing of going through the process of another trial, he accepts a plea bargain that will put him in a juvenile detention facility for two yearss....
Which is why when we sat down to speak with Emmerich ahead of his latest world-threatening event film, this weekend’s Moonfall, we felt intrigued to hear his thoughts on Don’t Look Up, an all-star disaster movie in which an impending meteor strike stands in as a metaphor for climate change, and which has surprisingly become an Oscar frontrunner in recent weeks. His answers were surprising. “It was a little bit like they missed the point,” Emmerich says about the bleak humor at the heart of McKay’s epic length comedy....
Boo! Now that we’ve got your attention, it’s time for a huge announcement. I had such a great time collaborating with Den of Geek last month on a comedic tour of the Warner Archive last month in my Sci-Fi Explosion show, that we’re doing it again this Friday, October 16th at 8:30pm EDT. Once again there will be plenty of strange and cool video clips, as well as prizes to be won when you watch my tuning in to our Twitch stream....
Did you know that 32 million small businesses account for 99.9% of the US economy? And as the interest in opening up new businesses grows—especially since the start of the pandemic—you as a small business owner are facing two challenges: Keep reading to learn how to use search engine optimization (SEO) to rank higher in Google search and get more site visitors—who can be turned into paying customers. Why Choose SEO You may wonder why SEO is worth your time and resources....
“Classic” is certainly the keyword here. Unlike Breath of the Wild’s free and open atmosphere, Skyward Sword emphasizes a somewhat telegraphed fantasy adventure made in the mold of Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and other, more traditional, 3D Zelda entries. Are there drawbacks to that template? Sure, but utterly excellent dungeon design isn’t one of them. Walking into Skyview Temple, the game’s first dungeon, I was instantly reminded of just how mesmerizing those large-scale puzzle boxes can be....
“Michael Rosenbaum and I are actually working on an animated series to bring those characters back to life and use as many of the original cast members as possible,” Welling told a fan on Cameo (in a video that comes to us via Twitter). “Don’t tell anybody, though. It’s a secret. We’re still working on it.” For much of its 10 seasons, Smallville stayed away from the wider DC Universe, and didn’t even give us a glimpse of Welling in the red-and-blue Superman costume until the final moments of its series finale....
The first live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie had its share of references and callbacks for longtime Sonic fans, but on the whole it was mostly just a fun family road-trip movie. Sonic the Hedgehog 2, however, goes all in. With Tails, Knuckles, and a ton of backstory revealed about Sonic’s home planet, this movie was primed for Easter eggs galore and it did not let us down!With the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Paramount+ and being available for digital purchase, we put together a complete guide to the references, obscure trivia, and other hidden “emeralds” in the film!...
Mods, not to be confused with hacks or cheats, are fan-developed alterations/additions to a game. They can be as small as a simple unofficial cosmetic or as large as the addition of entirely new game mechanics. Some players might scoff at the concept of adding an easy mode to Elden Ring or improving vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077, but mods are an essential part of the PC gaming scene as well as one of the best reasons to own a gaming PC in the first place....
Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 10 Since it debuted, Star Trek: Lower Decks has made no bones about being a quirky sequel to The Next Generation. Yes, there are Easter eggs from Deep Space Nine to Enterprise, but the tone and spirit of the show is firmly TNG. And, in the finale episode of its first season, Lower Decks brings back a tradition that TNG arguably perfected: The season finale that makes you love the show ten times more than you already did....
Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 4 After several episodes of what was essentially a very complicated set-up, it finally feels as though Star Trek: Picard’s second season is ready to kick into high gear with “Watcher”. The crew of the La Sirena has made it back in time to 2024 and they have a task to complete with demonstrable results. Find the mysterious Watcher who supposedly will be able to help them identify whatever has gone wrong with the timeline and therefore prevent it, preventing Earth’s descent into an authoritarian hellscape where the Federation morphs into an organization that’s down with conquest and genocide....
Star Trek Discovery Season 4 Episode 13 Star Trek: Discovery wraps up Season 4 with a fairly satisfactory if not necessarily groundbreaking finale that neatly wraps up most of its outstanding plot points in a bow by the end of the episode. This is a fairly impressive feat, given how much ground we needed to cover in this hour to begin with. Looking back on this season as a whole, it seems rather obvious now that the show would have done well to jettison some of the meandering middle episodes where not much happened in favor of making this finale more of a two-parter....
Like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett before it, Obi-Wan Kenobi is full of both Prequel and Original Trilogy easter eggs. But “Part III” also has several callbacks to the old Legends continuity that was erased from canon after Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012. Most intriguingly, the episode suggests that a few Jedi Knights from the old timeline have been brought back to canon and into the history of the galaxy far, far away in a way that could hint at their future involvement in this Disney+ series or future Star Wars stories....
Stargirl Season 2 Episode 1 The Stargirl season 2 premiere poses a big question: How does a teen hero come to terms with life as a normal teenager after putting on the suit? Courtney (Brec Bassinger) is dealing with just that as we join her back in Blue Valley, Nebraska. While we begin the episode with a spooky flashback which seems to show the death of Doctor Mid-Nite’s daughter decades before at the hands of Eclipso, things in Blue Valley in 2021 are eerily quiet....
