Redshirt characters on Star Trek were almost always killed off quickly and unceremoniously. Most of their deaths could have been avoided with a little common sense – like staying away from strange plants or actually shooting back at threats. But the most absurd redshirt death in Star Trek: The Original Series happened to Lieutenant Grant in the season 2 episode, “Friday’s Child.”

I just finished watching The Expanse, and let me tell you, it’s a gripping space opera! The show takes place throughout our solar system, which has been colonized but is really fractured between Earth, Mars, and the people living in the asteroid belt. It’s a story about power struggles, limited resources, and just trying to survive out there. Honestly, the way the characters are caught up in all the political maneuvering reminded me a lot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but with a grittier, more realistic feel. It’s a complex world, but totally worth getting invested in.
Recently back on Netflix, The West Wing is gaining a new audience who are discovering how cleverly the show uses its opening scenes.

Candace Cameron Bure addressed the criticism she received after a 2022 interview with the Wall Street Journal. She explained that her Christian faith led her to love everyone equally, no matter their background, beliefs, or identity.

Sweetin recently discussed the situation in detail on The Moment podcast, saying:
Urusei Yatsura turns everyday teen life into a hilarious series of chaotic events.

If you enjoy the unpredictable energy of Dandadan, Urusei Yatsura provides the background and context that makes Dandadan even more clever and enjoyable.
I remember when superhero movies first started hitting the big screen – they were charmingly simple, but a lot of fun. Over time, as filmmakers learned to do more with special effects, the visuals really exploded. And let’s be honest, these movies are huge business, consistently delivering some of the biggest box office hits we’ve ever seen. What’s great is you don’t always need a subscription to enjoy them; some of the very best are available to stream for free, even if it means sitting through a few commercials.
Timothée Chalamet is currently promoting his new movie, Marty Supreme, a comedy-drama that’s already getting attention as a potential Oscar contender. In the film, Chalamet plays a table tennis player striving for stardom. He recently told GamesRadar+ that filming Marty Supreme while also preparing for Dune: Part Three wasn’t as difficult as it might seem.

Now that the newest Avatar movie is scheduled to come out in 2025, I want to share my main issue with the series. I really enjoyed Fire and Ash and think it’s a fantastic film, but honestly, I found it was just too long and made sitting through it difficult. Let me explain!
The initial teaser for Avengers: Doomsday doesn’t offer many details, but it does show us Steve Rogers sometime after he went back to 1949 to live with Peggy Carter. It appears he’s enjoying retirement from being a superhero, and now has a son.
