We are reposting them in honor of the franchise’s 60th anniversary — and beyond — and as a way to keep some of our past work alive in the era of failing digital archives. The half-Vulcan, half-human Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck) is centered in “Spock Amok.” The fifth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, written by Henry Alonso Myers & Robin Wasserman and directed by Rachel Leiter

Legendary’s MonsterVerse has grown into a true titan of blockbuster filmmaking. Beginning with 2014’s Godzilla and expanding to include King Kong, Mothra, and a host of other iconic kaiju, the franchise has become a reliable source of massive battles, larger-than-life creatures, and pure spectacle. Whether you’re diving in for the first time or returning for the full experience and want a MonsterVerse watch order, here’s how to watch every MonsterVerse movie and show in both

There’s plenty to love about Star Trek: Prodigy, which is already living up to its name after just ten episodes. Between the return of our favorite Star Trek: Voyager characters, the introduction of an irresistible new cast, and a rich exploration of some of the themes and core concepts that are universal to all Trek shows, Prodigy has really hit the ground running. One example is the introduction of the concept of M-Class Planets in “Dreamcatcher,” and another is the exami

Hulu has ordered Ryan Coogler's long-gestating The X-Files reboot to series. The order comes after the streamer greenlit a pilot and Coogler delivered it.

The fourth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, “Memento Mori,” gives us the first glimpse of the wrath of La’an (Christina Chong). It was written by Davy Perez & Beau DeMayo and directed by Dan Liu.

When I discuss how I relate to the trajectory of Wanda's grief from WandaVision to Multiverse of Madness in grief and loss support groups, many women violently nod in agreement. Thus, Wanda's story is one I have been able to use to bond with others going through something similar, offering me a connection even beyond my parasocial relationship with Scarlet Witch.

We almost got Hooty backstory, though series creator Dana Terrace is skeptical about how the storyline might have been received. The Owl House series creator Dana Terrace says the original plan for the show's third season included an additional story for the character Hooty. However, she isn't sure whether or not the storyline would have been "good for the show" had it come to fruition. Terrace discussed this discarded Owl House storyline during a panel at last year's New Yor

Star Trek star Robert Picardo has brought his version of the charismatic hologram, the Doctor, to two different centuries of television, and he's got a clear-eyed take on what's changed. Speaking with The Beat at the New York premiere of The Sixty Year Mission: How Star Trek Changed Television and the World on October 8, 2026, the Star Trek: Voyager and Starfleet Academy actor was asked how filming the franchise today compares to thirty years ago. Picardo, who originated the

The apocalypse isn't over, and it's going to be an annual tradition now.

Stephen King’s Carrie doesn’t lack live-action adaptations. There’s Brian De Palma's 1976 film, the 2002 TV movie, the 2013 remake, and even a (very memorable) Broadway musical. However, Mike Flanagan isn't interested in retreading the telekinetic-revenge story. His eight-episode Prime Video series, from Amazon MGM Studios, is the first time King's novel has been adapted as a TV series. It argues Carrie White isn't the horror; it’s the systems around her. Carrie was King's d

“And Scotty beamed them to the Klingon ship, where they would be no tribble at all.” In the now-classic Futurama season 4 episode 'Where No Fan Has Gone Before,' Trekkie Philip J. Fry discovers just how important Star Trek becomes to humanity during the 23rd century. As revealed in court martial testimony delivered by Trek legends George Takei and Nichelle Nichols, by the 2300s, Trek fandom has evolved into “a full-blown religion.” Ensuing gags include a congregation at the C

Darkwing Duck is getting dangerous again. Disney+ has officially ordered the long-rumored revival to series, nearly six years after Variety first reported the project was quietly in development. The terror that flaps in the night returns with a stacked voice cast — and a twist that reframes the whole premise. Mark Hamill steps into the cape as Drake Mallard, taking over a role originated by Jim Cummings back in 1991, according to Variety. Seth Rogen — whose Point Grey Picture
