Fans are confused and upset that Vickie, played by Amybeth McNulty, isn’t shown in the final scenes of the show, despite being a major character in the episodes leading up to the last battle with Vecna. Viewers on platforms like Twitter have expressed frustration that the series didn’t reveal what happened to her after the fight, unlike with the other main characters.
Over its five seasons, Fringe transformed from a straightforward crime show into a complex story about who we are, dealing with loss, and the impact of our actions – a level of depth rarely seen on network television at the time. This change in storytelling is a major reason why the show still has a dedicated following years after it finished airing. Today, Fringe is known as one of Fox’s most imaginative and ambitious science fiction series.
Mel Brooks’ classic comedy, Blazing Saddles, will be available to stream on HBO Max starting January 1, 2026. Many consider it to be his best film, alongside Spaceballs. Released in 1974, the movie tells the story of Bart (played by Cleavon Little), a Black sheriff appointed to a town filled with prejudice. The film playfully references and spoofs iconic Westerns like The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and The Gunfighter.

Several episodes of the show took risks and explored more complex themes than previous installments of Star Trek. They weren’t afraid to move away from the traditional, optimistic tone and put the characters in genuinely frightening and unsettling situations, dealing with things like fear, distrust, and even losing a sense of who they were.

What follows are just a few examples of the series’ most intense and challenging episodes.
The most talented K-drama actors truly become their characters, delivering such believable and captivating performances that viewers are completely drawn into the story.

For a long time, Hollywood leaders blamed viewers when movies didn’t succeed. They claimed audiences were outdated, didn’t appreciate innovation, or just didn’t ‘get’ the filmmakers’ vision. The problem was never seen as the movies themselves, but rather with the people watching them. They often dismissed criticism as coming from a small, loud group of complainers.
So, it looks like Vecna’s plan to destroy everything was finally stopped, and after a long wait, Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) had a significant role to play beyond worrying about her son, Will. But that’s not what we’re talking about today. The biggest moment of the final season – and arguably the entire series – was Eleven sacrificing herself to destroy the Upside Down. The creators, the Duffer brothers, have talked about this decision, and while Mike offered a hopeful interpretation, I don’t think it quite adds up.
