Star Trek: The Next Generation almost gave the Klingon homeworld a very different name. Although the Klingons had been antagonists for Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) on Star Trek: The Original Series , TNG established that the Federation had achieved a shaky peace with the Klingons. Following the adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the USS Enterprise-D, TNG also introduced the first Klingon to serve in Starfleet, Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn). from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/lVg6j2F

With all of the changes that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom makes to the Zelda franchise’s famously complex timeline , it seems less likely than ever that there will be a proper update to the official chronology. Both Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild make nostalgic references to the entirety of the franchise, but this also makes definitively placing them in the series timeline very difficult. Moreover, the story of TOTK seems to contradict several aspects of the previously established canon, complicating things even further. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/qQYzEoH

Hayden Christensen’s triumphant return as Clone Wars-era Anakin Skywalker in Ahsoka was inspired by none other than George Lucas himself. Anakin Skywalker is the Skywalker saga’s central character – without him, Star Wars wouldn’t exist. In his role as the main character, he changed many other characters’ lives, his legacy and relationships permeating every corner of Star Wars’ storytelling. When Anakin was set to return for Ahsoka , it was imperative that his return not overshadow the show’s titular character. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/skdCBjl

Star Trek: Voyager would have been different in its latter seasons if Kes (Jennifer Lien) had stayed on the USS Voyager instead of departing in Voyager season 4, when her ostensible replacement Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) arrives. There's no narrative reason both Kes and Seven couldn't have existed concurrently, especially since the differences between Kes' optimistic innocence and Seven's detached efficiency could have made for an interesting conflict that would still serve the purpose of invigorating Voyager 's lagging storylines. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/gLHeskU

Cobra Kai season 6 will bring the fan-favorite series to a close six years after The Karate Kid sequel series first arrived on YouTube Red. The show made the jump to Netflix for its third season, only growing in popularity as more viewers tuned in to see what happened to The Karate Kid ’s Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) decades after their first tournament battle. Thanks to its winning cast of new and returning players, a tone fit for a wide audience, and the right blend of action, drama, and comedy, Cobra Kai has cultivated a passionate and devoted audience. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/S1ZEMK3

Percy Jackson and the Olympians ' season 1 episode titles have been revealed, hinting when big events from the books will take place in the show. Based on the books by author Rick Riordan, the upcoming Disney Plus show will serve as the second adaptation of the saga after the two disappointing films in 2010 and 2013.

Great movies can sometimes have negative consequences , especially when they leave the filmmakers scratching their heads about what to do next in the franchise. Box office hits and critical successes are usually great for a franchise overall, boosting its popularity and engaging audiences positively, as well as making a solid return financially. However, a great film that ties up loose ends and provides satisfying conclusions for characters can also result in sequels struggling to find their footing and making their stories weaker by comparison. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/W0J5Ny6

Sci-fi movies are known for their high concepts and elaborate worldbuilding, but sometimes a sci-fi franchise can seriously hurt itself by overexplaining things, as is the case with these 10 movie series. While some explanation is always required to set up the world of a new sci-fi franchise, some things are better left mysterious. However, these sci-fi franchises couldn't help but provide too much explanation, hurting the series in the process. Whether it's a film that got too bogged down in the lore or a sequel that ruined the mystery of the original, these 10 sci-fi franchises hurt themselves by explaining too much. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/VBAWxEt

Garth Ennis has operated at the top of the comic book game for decades now, putting him in a unique position to give advice to give advice to newer generations of artists looking to carve out their own place in the industry – and in his characteristic style, Ennis refuses to equivocate on the approach younger creators should take to working with the major two companies, DC and Marvel. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/J1tv7X3

Scream 7 is going through massive changes after the exits of its two main stars, and its future is looking a bit complicated for now. The Scream franchise was successfully revived through the reboot/requel trend after Scream 4 was supposed to be the final chapter in the saga. The fifth installment in the franchise and first in the reboot trilogy, simply titled Scream , brought back the three survivors of the first four movies – Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley – and introduced a new generation of characters set to lead the reboot trilogy. from ScreenRant https://ift.tt/J6aDeyt

Set in inner-city Paris, The Gravity follows a pair of drug-dealing brothers and their peers as they try to live their lives in relative peace, at least by the standards of low-level drug dealers. However, a gang of tracksuit-wearing young people hoping to clean up the streets with a near-religious fervor threaten the status quo. This gang's excitement over an impending planetary alignment gives them a cult-like quality, which lends them an aura of unpredictability. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/cpwM04k

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Jay Garrick: The Flash #2! Stand aside Captain America , because the Golden Age Flash has put an incredible spin on the Avenger's iconic move. Steve Rogers might be able to take down villains with his iconic shield throw, but the original Fastest Man Alive makes a slight adjustment to make Cap's favored tactic far more effective. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/t2E5UVM

Millie Bobby Brown has one jam-packed production and release schedule ahead of her, including both movies and TV shows.

The actress has at least six film and TV projects in the works, some with release dates on the horizon, while others are still up in the air. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/OfZwVDL

A stunning new piece of Eternity fanart showcases the Marvel god that MCU fans deserve. Eternity is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, the total representation of all that is, was, and ever will be. Eternity is an impressive sight to behold in the comics, but when the character made the leap to live action in 2021’s Thor: Love and Thunder, he came across as underwhelming. Now, a new piece of fan art by acclaimed artist BossLogic corrects this error. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/oZDwgmy

The Loki season 2 finale powerfully transforms Loki, who was once the MCU 's first major villain, into arguably its most important hero - but can he lift Mjolnir? The once God of Mischief resigned himself to sit alone at the end of time, holding the branches of the multiverse together to save the TVA, his friends, and multiple realities from being torn apart. Loki season 2's ending was as narratively significant as it was emotional because it not only solidified that the multiverse is here to stay but also that the very being keeping it together and saving countless lives is the one who once ended lives remorselessly and thirsted for power. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/xkezrWX

The upcoming Apple TV+ war drama Masters of the Air will act as a companion series to HBO's beloved and acclaimed show Band of Brothers , and the two shows will overlap both in timeline and location. Band of Brothers followed members of the 101st Airborne Division as they took part in some of the most significant conflicts in the European theater of World War II. Masters of the Air is set to follow the 100th Bombardment Group , one of the most famous units of the United States Air Force, which helped topple the Third Reich in Europe. Both shows cover the period leading up to and directly after D-Day. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/0LfBGQD

Although the final boss battle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is incredible – arguably even better than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 's ending – the game occasionally hints that there’s going to be a monumentally significant battle for Hyrule. However, this battle, disappointingly, does not manifest. Though this would be dissatisfying in isolation, it is made even more so by the Memories that show Ganondorf commanding an assault on Hyrule. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/2jW8u4J

Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young started their feud during Selling Sunset season 6, and many hope it will end soon, even Mary Fitzgerald . The feud between Chrishell and Nicole began last season when Nicole went on and on about Chrishell getting credit for a sale the pair were assigned to together at the Oppenheim Group. Chrishell was upset about how Nicole went about this, which led her to accuse Nicole of using illegal drugs. Since this back and forth between the two, it's been difficult for Chrishell and Nicole to even be in the same room together. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/rd7aQBx

The Toy Story films are filled with memorable characters, but the most memorable Buzz Lightyear quotes are a reminder of why he is the most iconic character of the franchise. The Space Ranger and enemy of the evil Emperor Zurg was introduced in 1995's Toy Story, as a delusional yet heroic action figure who doesn't realize that he's a toy. Throughout the original and Toy Story 2 -4 , he grew and came to accept, then relish his place in Andy's and Bonnie's rooms. He was heroic, funny, and heartwarming, all qualities presented in the best Buzz Lightyear quotes thanks in no small part to Tim Allen's inimitable performance. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/1sryCRv

Gladiator director Ridley Scott explains how the film's most iconic shot came about, and it was a total accident. Released in 2000, the sword-and-sandal flick remains one of Scott's most acclaimed films, starring Russell Crowe as Maximus , a Roman general who pursues vengeance after his family is killed and he is sold into slavery. While there are many memorable moments from Gladiator , the most iconic shot of the film is undoubtedly Maximux gliding his hand across stalks of wheat in a sprawling field, an image representing the afterlife. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/JdqbaNM

There are several reasons why CBS is canceling Young Sheldon with season 7 despite its continued popularity. Sheldon and the Coopers are about to say goodbye after news broke out that The Big Bang Theory prequel is wrapping up its run during the remainder of the 2023-2024 TV season. This may come as a shock, considering that Young Sheldon remains a massive ratings-hit on CBS, even becoming its number 1 comedy for the 2022-2023 season, but its potential ending has long been being discussed. The historic dual strikes of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA just delayed the verdict. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/w0K5uT3

Marvel's 2007 World War Hulk crossover event remains one of its best and most iconic, with an enraged Hulk brutally defeating the Avengers , X-Men, Inhuman, Fantastic Four, and pretty much every other major hero on Earth after the Illuminati betrayed him. However, Hulk's intense rampage would have ended much earlier if one Avengers' reject, the Initiative recruit Hardball, had not accidentally sabotaged Iron Man. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/gGc15X4

World history has inspired a number of creative mediums, and anime is no exception. Among the countless anime retelling and reinventing historical stories, there are plenty of standout classic anime every history nerd needs to watch .

Many times, these anime series' most memorable events actually have a fully historical basis, rather than being inventions by the writers. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/JigjsRT

Not only was 2008’s Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig’s worst James Bond movie, but the outing almost ruined his reputation as 007 before it was even established. James Bond seemed to be in a tricky situation back in 2005. 2002’s Die Another Day was a campy misfire and a disappointing swan song for Pierce Brosnan’s winking, self-aware take on 007 — and the franchise seemed to be out of touch with the prevailing culture. Hardened, brooding spies like Jason Bourne made James Bond look like a goofy caricature, and the dark tone of post-9/11 blockbusters made Bond’s adventures seem outdated. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/rwVNzuA

The extremely popular Big Bang Theory spinoff Young Sheldon has enjoyed a successful six-season run so far, and the upcoming Young Sheldon season 7 could be the most eventful yet. Debuting in 2017, the sitcom follows Sheldon Cooper as he grows up in his small hometown in Texas in the late-'80s and early-'90s and struggles to fit in with his family and friends. Like The Big Bang Theory before it, much of the humor of Young Sheldon is derived from Sheldon's interactions with the outside world, and the spinoff series gets to the heart of what makes the beloved character tick. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/2tJ5Vlv

CBS announces a slew of upcoming premiere dates for its main shows. Many networks, including CBS, have had to vastly alter their release calendars due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

The Marvels has hit a new low for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new movie, which is the third feature in Phase 5 of the MCU, is a direct sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel , which introduced Brie Larson's former fighter pilot turned superhero Carol Danvers to the franchise.

Not every movie needs a large ensemble cast to tell a great story, there are plenty of movies that have just one major character that are incredible. Movies rely on dozens of different teams and individuals to deliver a coherent picture , from the writers who outline events, to the director who brings everything together and the editors who apply the finishing touches and everyone in between. However, most movies also tend to feature a varied cast with actors who interact with one another and drive the narrative forward. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/rN6Jpvk

Robert Duncan McNeill is best known as Star Trek: Voyager 's Lieutenant Tom Paris, but when his 3 Star Trek characters finally meet in a hilarious meme, it begs the question: Do they all look alike?

Lieutenant Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) and the USS Cerritos stopped Locarno from threatening the galaxy in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4's finale. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/i7KLsNY

Naruto: Shippuden is roughly 40% filler, naturally leading potential fans to look for a list of every filler episode. Though Naruto's best filler episodes can develop the series' world and characters, the same can't be said for every episode. As great as some of the filler is, it's easy to see why many fans skip the filler content altogether. Unfortunately, that task might be easier said than done. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/UfXPc7s

An all-female Avengers movie has been rumored for a while, and speculation only grew after the “female Avengers” moment in Avengers: Endgame . The MCU began in 2008’s Iron Man , introducing Tony Stark and setting the basis for an connected universe of Marvel superheroes. Since then, the MCU timeline has introduced many candidates for the female Avengers - characters who have prominently featured in films and series such as Captain Marvel , WandaVision , Ant-Man and the Wasp , Black Panther , Black Widow , and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Although male superheroes have been at the front and center of most projects, the MCU has many female characters - both superheroes and regular humans - with the potential of becoming something greater. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/1yKsr5C

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night , a new anime series scheduled for an April release during the Spring 2024 anime season, is shaping up to be an atypical slice-of-life show . Its characters, their unique backgrounds, and its focus on the Shibuya district of Tokyo provides a different aesthetic than what most anime fans are used to. While cities are a common setting, most anime don't make them visually pleasing, but Jellyfish might be one of the few that will join that small group. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/XEfVcxq

The cast of the new season was announced at BravoCon 2023 along with a trailer for the new season, which will premiere on February 5, 2024. Some returning faces included Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Deckhand Ben Willoughby; however, the most shocking familiar face is Captain Kerry Titheradge. Captain Kerry was introduced to the franchise when he joined Below Deck Adventure season 1 as the captain.

Through the years, there have been many Below Deck crew members who have been fired and deserved a second chance on board. The Below Deck franchise began over a decade ago with Caption Lee Rosbach at the helm. Viewers loved Lee for his no-nonsense attitude but also how he still cared deeply for his crew members and created the best experience for his charter guests.

Jonathan Majors' legal battle is among the biggest contributing factors to Marvel's current crisis, but the studio's easiest solution to their Kang the Conqueror problem is not to pivot directly to Doctor Doom.
