This Star Wars article contains spoilers. When Morgan Elsbeth was first introduced in The Mandalorian, we knew that her people had been massacred during the Clone Wars. In the episode “Chapter 13: The Jedi,” Ahsoka tells Din Djarin that Elsbeth “survived, and let her anger fuel an industry which helped build the Imperial Starfleet. She

This article contains spoilers for the RIVERDALE series finale. Riverdale season 7 gave our characters a fresh slate in the 1950’s, embracing their “classic Archie Comics counterparts.” However, in the penultimate episode, they all finally got their good memories back from Angel Tabitha (Erinn Westbrook) with only Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) choosing
This article contains spoilers through Only Murders in the Building season 3 episode 4. If you’re like us, you’re neck-deep in Only Murders in the Building theories with almost half of season 3 already completed. This season’s victim, Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd), appeared to have died twice in the season opener, and both the trio
This Star Wars: Ahsoka article contains spoilers. There’s never been a Star Wars show quite as jam-packed with easter eggs and references as Ahsoka, which is not just pulling from The Mandalorian-era shows but also two animated series and even one of the most celebrated Expanded Universe novels of all time. It’s easily the most
In my other life, I am an Ancient History lecturer at a UK university, which means I am often giving my students recommendations for films and TV shows to watch about Ancient Rome. None of them are especially historically accurate (a totally historically accurate film would probably be a boring film) but as long as
Warning: contains spoilers for Mad Men season four. Everything about Ida Blankenship is a punchline. From the spilt Scrabble tiles clatter of her name, to her gravelly voice and chewed-on Brooklyn vowels, to the old lady wig and post-cataract lenses used to age up and disguise the glamour of actor Randee Heller, the Mad Men character exists purely as
Six seasons and a movie! Before Community made that phrase its mantra, it belonged to Star Trek… sorta. The release of The Motion Picture vindicated fans of The Original Series, who only grew in number after the show’s cancellation after three seasons in 1969. So successful were those films that the Star Trek: The Next
MGM+’s new series about King Arthur, The Winter King, is based on a trilogy of novels by well known historical novelist Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe books. Cornwell’s historical fiction is always well-researched. But just how “historical” is King Arthur in the first place? People have been telling stories about King Arthur for centuries,
When Stranger Things season 4 concluded its feature-length final episode in July 2022, the show’s characters seemed ready to roll right into the their fifth and final season. The newly-revealed big bad Vecna a.k.a. Henry Creel a.k.a. Number One (Jamie Campbell Bower) had been stopped but not fully defeated. The ultimate battle for Hawkins, Indiana
You couldn’t make something like SM:TV Live these days. For starters, Saturday morning kids’ TV is barely a thing any more, cancelled entirely on the soon-to-be-nixed CITV channel, while over on the BBC, it’s relegated to the decidedly more wholesome Saturday Mash-Up Live on CBBC. Perhaps this is because – deep down – everyone knows
It’s well-established cultural lore that the 1990s are of mythical importance to many Gen-Xers and even some millennials. But why though? Was it the relatively strong economy? Preponderance of the color teal? Or even just the fact that the ’90s was the last decade to seem like its own distinct thing before new millennium turned
This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds article contains spoilers. Prequel cameos are always tricky storytelling gambits. When done right, they can thrill fans with a shiver of recognition. When done wrong, it can feel cheap and sentimental, like almost everything with baby Leia in Obi-Wan Kenobi. But against all odds, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Star Wars is back on Disney+! Well, it’s about to be, with the brand new Lucasfilm series Ahsoka just days away from streaming. Ahsoka will see the return of former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) after she was last glimpsed in live-action during the second season of The Mandalorian and its spinoff series, The Book of Boba
Depp v. Heard, Netflix‘s latest docuseries about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial falls victim to a common documentarian fallacy. It mistakes editorial balance for truth. In an interview with Variety, Depp v. Heard director Emma Cooper describes her approach to the series thusly: “My intention, right from the start, was to make a
Since its debut in 1966, Star Trek has boldly gone to nearly every cultural aspect of modern life. The franchise has included 13 feature films with various crews, numerous board and video games, hundreds of action figures, commemorative plates — you name it, and there’s probably a version with a Starfleet logo on it. But
Legal disclaimers are a necessary part of any TV series that purports to cover real life events. Not only do filmmakers, studios, and distributors want to avoid any potential for litigation, they also must acknowledge to their audiences that no scripted enterprise can perfectly capture reality. Still, legal disclaimers have a way of taking some
Strap on your Walkman and head back to the Eighties this October with the new time travelling slasher-comedy movie, Totally Killer from Prime Video and Blumhouse Television. Totally Killer begins 35 years after the shocking murder of three teens, when the infamous ‘Sweet Sixteen Killer’ returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim.

The USA Network legal drama Suits has seen a massive surge in popularity this summer, with around 18 billion minutes of the series viewed in July alone. Even though this isn’t the show’s first time on streaming, its arrival on Netflix in June has given the show a second life. When asked about Suits suddenly
Ghostly horror comedy Shining Vale is set to return to our screens this October as Season Two has been announced, along with some first-look images, which you can see here… SVL2_206_110222_0129_a_1800x1200 SVL2_201_091222_0077_a_1800x1200 SVL2_201_091922_0109_a_1800x1200 SVL2_201_092822_0375_a_1800x1200 SVL2_202_092222_0013_a_1800x1200 SVL2_202_092622_0061_C_a_1800x1200 SVL2_204_101922_0069_a_1800x1200 SVL2_206_110822_0082_a_1800x1200 In case you missed it, season one of Shining Vale introduced Pat and Terry Phelps, a dysfunctional
Warning: contains spoilers for the Wolf finale. Twists exist to make things fun, not to make them efficient – just ask a helter-skelter. BBC crime thriller Wolf is very much a helter-skelter of a show. It spins you around and around until you feel sick and think up is down – very entertaining in the moment, but by the
Upcoming Netflix sci-fi movie T.I.M. follows Abi (Georgina Campbell, Barbarian), a robotics engineer, as she moves to the countryside to work for a tech firm that’s developing an A.I. manservant: T.I.M.(Eamon Farren, The Witcher). She is hoping the new job will be a fresh start, allowing her to rebuild her relationship with her husband (Mark
It’s no mystery why Only Murders in the Building is killing it on Hulu. Besides the national obsession with true crime, there is a chemical reaction to the players which triggers a chaotic element unknown in forensics. Selina Gomez’s (occasionally “Bloody”) Mabel Mora ties up the loose ends. You might say she Martinizes them. It
This article contains spoilers for Painkiller. The ending of Netflix‘s Painkiller puts a lot of energy into properly punishing its antagonist Richard Sackler (Matthew Broderick). The series, which Netflix is careful to note is a fictionalized retelling of true events, concludes with Richard being beaten to a bloody pulp by the ghostly apparition of his
Ever since Jonathan Frakes played the first officer of the USS Enterprise-D Will Riker, Frakes has gone on to appear in almost every Star Trek series since, albeit as transporter accident-spawned clone Thomas Riker in Deep Space Nine. Usually, fans love to see the adventurous Riker swing into a guest appearance on another series. But
Starring and executive produced by LaKeith Stanfield, upcoming Apple TV+ series The Changeling promises to be a “fairytale for grown-ups” and if the first trailer is anything to go by, it certainly looks like a fantastical adventure for the senses. Watch the trailer here… <span data-mce-type=”bookmark” style=”display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;” class=”mce_SELRES_start”></span> Based
This article contains spoilers Outlander season seven came to a mid-season stop this month with events hanging in the balance for the Fraser and MacKenzie families. While Jamie and Claire were relieved to leave the American Revolutionary War when they were tasked with accompanying a kinsman’s body back to Scotland, things were much more fraught
After 34 seasons and counting, The Simpsons embodies many things. The longest running scripted series in the history of television began as an upstart, and grew to a Methuselah, with the wisdom of a dinosaur, and the prophetic voice of Nostradamus. Every other month, some news item or deleted tweet fulfills a prediction made by
This article contains spoilers Outlander season seven’s midseason finale featured the Battles of Saratoga through the eyes of Jamie and Claire on the American side and William Ransom on the British side. The episode shows the British forces surrendering after the Americans overwhelmed British fortifications. Although several famous Revolutionary figures have been both name-checked and
Fly on the wall? Pah! The wall is all the way over there! These days, viewers want to be flies buzzing right around the noses of the people making the headlines, close enough to tell what they had for breakfast. And thanks to true story TV dramas, they can. It’s been a long time since
This Star Trek: Strange New Worlds article contains spoilers. The Strange New Worlds finale, “Hegemony,” dropped a lot of big dramatic events, from a Gorn invasion to Pike having to choose between his orders and his duty to his crew in a devastating cliffhanger that has us hoping the AMPTP will immediately fold and concede
