While all currently available evidence suggests that Daisy is not one of those unlockable surprises (sorry fans), earning everything in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury will take quite a bit of time. In some cases, it also requires you to look beyond the boundaries of the title and take on unique challenges. So if you’re using Super Mario 3D World to help you survive the wait for a new Super Mario game (or maybe even a reimagining of one of the many lost Super Mario games), then you’ll want to chase some of the game’s most elusive unlockables....

Supergirl Season 3 Episode 8 We were promised a more serialized crossover, and “Crisis on Earth X Part 1” delivers on that front. In past crossovers, there was a clear “home court advantage” so to speak. That is to say, while the characters concerned with the main action appeared throughout the crossover, each episode generally took on the characteristics of the show the time slot belonged to. There were also usually side characters who only got to participate when their show’s episode brought the action into their orbit, whether physically or otherwise....

Not as memorable as the classic HBO series it spun off from, Tales from the Cryptkeeper was aimed at the young whippersnappers who had the balls to wake up early enough on Saturday morning to face the horror-themed parables that the mischievous ancient corpse would throw their way. Therefore, no, it wasn’t really that scary. Creepy? Sometimes. Amusing? Also sometimes. Annoying? More often than you’d think, but that’s mostly because of the voice acting....

The 100 Season 4 Episode 3 “The Four Horsemen” gave us great character development for Indra and Octavia, showed Raven struggle with her new role as a decision maker, and moves up the timeline for the disaster, to add a sense of urgency that has been hard to feel so far this season. We also got a nice revelation at the end that simultaneously deepened Grounder culture and gave us hope for our characters’ future....

The 100 Season 5 Episode 7 This season of The 100 can’t decide which is the bigger heartbreak: the people who have changed so much, or those who are exactly the same. For all that time in space, Echo is still that Azgeda spy, betraying Raven (through Shaw) to get what she wants. Abby is still addicted and Kane is still a martyr, though I continue to be pleasantly surprised at the way the show is convincingly arguing for the concept of maintaining functionality versus trying to get high....

One of the most curious of these abandoned projects is a script written by Bob Gale. Fresh off of co-creating and co-writing Back to the Future with Robert Zemeckis, Gale’s script did a more than adequate job of bringing Strange to life. The problem — well one of them — was that any attempts to tell Doctor Strange’s story in a way that would respect the character would require a big budget, something that was unlikely in the pre-Batman era (Superman not withstanding, and even the Man of Steel suffered on production values — just check out Superman IV: The Quest for Peace)....

The Blacklist Season 8 Episode 3 Trailer and Release Date The Blacklist season 8 returned with its premiere on November 13, 2020 but went on hiatus after airing only two episodes. The next episode is entitled, “16 Ounces,” and it airs on January 22, 2021 at 8/7c on NBC. The Blacklist Season 8 Episode Guide The Blacklist season 8 has returned with new episodes, and we’ll be compiling episode descriptions and air dates below....

After revealing the first 11 minutes of the film to journalists, Chaves, who also made Conjuring universe movie The Curse of La LLorona, explains that the intention for the third installment of the main franchise was always to “blow the doors off the haunted house experience and take the Warrens out into the world,” but this particular story comes with a unique set of perils not yet tackled within the Conjuring universe....

The Expanse Season 3 Episode 4 It figures that it would take a common enemy, even one as temporary as the MCRN squids who try to take over Holden’s ship, to bring the divided crew, including Bobbie and Avasarala, closer together in this week’s The Expanse. Although the events unfolding on Io hold the most intrigue in “Reload,” the emotional journeys and enjoyable reactions of Amos, Bobbie, Naomi, and the others are what ultimately make this a successful episode....

From the moment that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier first premiered, it wasn’t really much of a spoiler to say that we all knew that the show would end — one way or another — with Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) picking up the shield for real and embracing the identity of Captain America. But according to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman, the path to that singular image of Sam in his new Wakandan-built outfit and wings, shield on his arm, might have gone several different ways: “We entertained a lot of different stuff,” he tells Den of Geek....

The Flash Season 3 Episode 18 “Abra Kadabra” was such a thoroughly bland piece of TV that I’m not sure I can get too worked up about it one way or the other. There was one major event here, and I guess it shouldn’t be discarded, but it just felt like a cheap payoff to make an otherwise inconsequential episode feel important. The problem is that this episode shouldn’t have been a problem....

The Flash Season 4 Episode 21 To quote the formerly brilliant Harry Wells, “This was a colossal waste of time.” Right after I spent last week talking up how solid the second half of this season has been, The Flash drops “Harry and the Harrisons” on us, perhaps the single greatest argument for condensing the episode orders of, not just The Flash, but the entire Arrowverse. Legends of Tomorrow seems positively conservative with its 16, 17, and 18 episode orders....

The sad thing about The Freak Brothers is the jokes don’t go as far as it seems the series wants to go. The counterculture of the 1960s was an antidote to the culture. Cartoonists like Robert Crumb, who invented Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural and Devil Girl, and Gilbert Shelton, who created The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers in 1968, didn’t restrict themselves to pop expression, and had little respect for the sensibilities of the day-tripping squares, as we find in their 2020 reawakening....

The Last Kingdom Season 3 Episode 1 And we’re back in business. The Last Kingdom season 3 opener wastes no time chucking us into the action and onto the battlefield. All the hits are played: Uhtred and Alfred disagree over military strategy. A Dane screams “I want every Saxon dead by nightfall!” A Saxon screams “SHIEEEELD WAAAALLL!” A witch slices up a pile of priests. Uhtred’s woman is tidied heartlessly away to clear the path for a new conquest… It’s as though the show never went away....

After the tragic events of last week’s episode of The Magicians, it’s apparent that many of the characters have some growing up to do albeit in ways viewers might not expect. Remarkably, the conflict doesn’t seem all that lessened by the defeat of the Beast, and that’s a credit to the burgeoning complexity of the situation in Fillory. While Julia’s story arc continues admirably on its way with the pursuit of Reynard, the awakenings of everyone else were a refreshing course change, even if some of them went in directions we wish they hadn’t....

The Mandalorian‘s latest episode, “The Siege,” is a mostly entertaining action romp through Nevarro that gives fans more clues as to what the Empire is planning for the Outer Rim. The episode is also an opportunity for Mando and Baby Yoda to reunite with season one allies Greef Karga (Carl Weathers, who also directed the episode) and Cara Dune (Gina Carano). But, while the “getting the band back together” feel of the episode generally works in its favor, many Star Wars fans are dismayed by Carano’s return to the show....

The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 6 When season 3 of The Orville started, it was difficult to tell in which direction it may head. It had been several years since the second season ended, it had changed networks, and even got a fresh new title. Now that we are more than half way through the season, Seth MacFarlane and his creative team have shown that those “New Horizons” mean that The Orville is clearly not finished finding itself....

March 2020 The NBA Suspends the Season (March 11th) Many use the NBA’s March 11th announcement that the 2019-2020 season would be suspended until further notice as an unofficial start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The season would continue four months later in the “NBA Bubble,” but no one could know what the future would look like, only that things were indeed very serious for the billions-dollar professional basketball and media industry to shut down....

“I think obviously the idea of him looking into a mirror and seeing another person’s reflection will be core to the show, and we’ll have those moments,” concedes writer and executive producer Steven Lilien. “I think the ‘Oh boy!’ was so specific to Sam Beckett, and I think we’re trying to carve out a new path for our character, Ben.” The original Quantum Leap told the adventures of Dr. Sam Beckett after his time travel experiment leaves him jumping randomly through different times and different bodies....
