Quantum Leap Episode 1 Review July 13Th 1985

Quantum Leap Episode 1 Quantum Leap has leapt back onto the screen. The much-awaited sequel to the three-decades-old original series spent much of its first hour acclimating newbies to the time-traveling world of “putting right once went wrong” while keeping viewers hooked with a few fast-paced surprises and more than a few curiosities. The scene is set with a love story. A beautiful couple, newly engaged, celebrating with friends and colleagues, and so enamored that they plan to abandon their own party, post-haste, and go share a bottle of bourbon together under a pier....

Raya And The Last Dragon Review The Best Disney Princess Movie Since Mulan

Rigidly faithful live-action adaptations of the animated classics that millennials grew up with are now recognized for their narrow romantic messaging, and the often racist, colonialist world-building that’s used to prop up this type of storytelling. Meanwhile Walt Disney Animation Studios has attempted to complicate and modernize the Disney Princess template in interesting ways, but they’ve never quite nailed it narratively. Frozen was a step in the right direction with its emphasis on sisterly love, but it couldn’t resist shoehorning a thematically superfluous romance into its plot with the Kristoff character....

Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City Post Credit Scene Explained

But what about tomorrow? Well, that’ll be up to our heroes, who likely will have a thing or two to say after their nightmarish ordeal inside the secret Umbrella lab that infected the people of Raccoon City with the T-virus. While it might be a little too early to think so far ahead, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City clearly has a plan in place for a potential sequel. In fact, it’s made abundantly clear where director Johannes Roberts and Sony Pictures want to go next in the movie’s post-credit scene, which longtime fans of the franchise won’t want to miss....

Russian Doll Ending Explained Time Passes All The Same

It’s important to know what you’re getting into when you watch Russian Doll on Netflix. Yes, there’s the Groundhog Day aspect of the repeating time loop and although this show was pitched long before Happy Death Day came on the scene, the similarities are unmistakable. But this show is more of a metaphysical journey with the moral philosophy of The Good Place and the surreal, dark humor of Being John Malkovich, and there’s of course Natasha Lyonne capturing the audience’s imagination with her unmistakable brand of New York snarky charm....

Saints Row Fans Are Already Calling Reboot Too Woke

It started on YouTube where the reboot’s debut trailer quickly garnered 22k dislikes vs 16k likes (as of the time of this writing). If you haven’t watched that trailer yet, I highly recommend that you give it a look and (if you dare) check out the comments below when you’re done. There’s certainly some variation in terms of the specific complaints people have about this trailer, but they tend to focus on the ways that this upcoming reboot will seemingly alter the theme and tone of the original Saints Row games....

She Hulk Attorney At Law Episode 2 Review Superhuman Law

Our She-Hulk: Attorney at Law reviews will be adopting a different format than the one we use for MCU shows with longer episodes; more of a breakdown that we hope will still satisfy regular readers but also help those less familiar with the MCU keep up. With that in mind, let’s take a look at episode two, “Superhuman Law”. The Case: What Happened? In the aftermath of Jennifer Walters’ rather literal court battle with Titania in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode one, the media label her “She-Hulk”, a nickname she is very much not fond of....

Snowpiercer Season 2 Episode 6 Review Many Miles From Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer Season 2 Episode 6 The first season of Snowpiercer, when you dug through all the sci-fi trappings, was a simple mash-up of a standard dystopian end-of-the-world society and a film noir, with Daveed Diggs playing both the speechifying revolutionary and the hard-boiled, world-weary detective all at once. He has seen it all, he is over it all, and he is ready to shake everything up and give something new a try....

South Park Will Attempt To Satirize Qanon

While Comedy Central’s long-running animated classic is best known for being ultra topical by entering into production just one week before airing, its creators now seem increasingly willing to experiment with the show’s production schedule. Last September’s South Park The Pandemic Special was an hour-long installment that was announced well in advance. That became the highest rated South Park episode in almost a decade so Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and the rest of the team are going to try it again....

Star Trek Discovery How Book And Burnham Have Quietly Become Tv S Healthiest Romance

Star Trek: Discovery had a lot to do in its third season, what with launching the franchise into a far-flung future, saving all sentient life as we know it, and essentially rebooting the show going forward. After leading her crew into a literal strange new world, Michael Burnham then had to spend a year in the future without them, a twist that forced her to decide who she was – and who she wanted to be – in a world where she no longer had the structure and expectations of Starfleet to define herself against....

Star Trek Picard Season 2 Episode 1 Review The Star Gazer

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 1 For all the bluster and bleakness of its initial trailers and promos surrounding the Star Trek: Picard Season 2 premiere, the actual episode itself is a fairly low-key return for the show. To be clear: “The Star Gazer” is largely excellent, offering us rich and rewarding character moments and the return of several old faces from our collective Star Trek: The Next Generation days, even as it sets up what are ostensibly the main arcs of the season....

Star Trek Picard Season 2 Episode 2 Recap Penance

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 2 After a fairly low-key premiere that was primarily focused on catching us up with where our favorite characters stand emotionally following the events of Season 1, Star Trek: Picard kicks things into high gear by following through on the promise of its Season 2 trailers: Alternate realities, time travel, and trial by Q. Oh, my. The first ten minutes of this episode are a tour de force from Star Trek: The Next Generation fan-favorite John de Lancie as he and Patrick Stewart face off in high style, flinging everything from Shakespearean references to Star Trek deep cuts at one another (“Yesterday’s Enterprise”!...

Star Trek Prodigy S Twist Ending Doesn T Mean What You Think It Means

Well, well, that final scene from the mid-season finale of Star Trek: Prodigy certainly came out of nowhere. Everything seemed like it was winding down to an intriguing yet satisfying place to leave the show when, BAM. The Dauntless! Yes, our final scene of Prodigy for a while has the real life Janeway commanding the U.S.S. Dauntless NCC-80816, ready to track down the Protostar. What makes this ending such a huge twist is that this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of a ship called Dauntless....

But while The Book of Boba Fett will serve as the vehicle with which to tell Fett’s own story after the events of Return of the Jedi, it reportedly won’t be completely separate from The Mandalorian universe. According to a report from Collider, fans should think of The Book of Boba Fett as “The Mandalorian Season 2....

Stargirl Episode 4 Review Wildcat

Stargirl Episode 4 Part of the reason that Stargirl feels like such a breath of fresh air in the DC television universe is that it’s telling stories we haven’t seen in this space before. Courtney Whitmore isn’t just a character who stumbles into having superpowers, she’s also a teen girl. She’s trying to navigate school, make friends and maybe flirt with that cute boy in her class (who… also happens to be the son of a supervillain, but that’s a problem for another day)....

The Injustice Society has been terrorizing the heroes of the DC Universe for over 70 years. Although they might not be as well known as their more famous counterparts, the Injustice League, and definitely aren’t as criminally insane as their predecessors, Shazam villains the Monster Society of Evil, the members of the Injustice Society have made their stamp on comics history. They’re also about to be discovered by a much wider audience as they’ve been revealed as the dangerous rogues in the new Stargirl TV series, which is airing on both DC Universe and The CW....
