DCI Silva needs to send a fruit basket to whoever thought to include a ‘Cancel Tube Flood Cycle’ button on Britain’s vanguard-class submarines. That one will have gone straight to the top of her personal Best Button list (my top three: Cadbury’s, R1 on a PlayStation controller, and Moon). Silva had a narrow escape from the triple nightmare of drowning in an enclosed space while screaming so loudly that everybody can see your fillings without actually making a sound....

Walker Episode 3 Walker’s “Bobble Head” saw the past clash with the present, where flaws were shown and where change is on the horizon. The present mainly had to do with Walker and Micki in this episode. Right off the bat, they were kind of adorable trying to get to know each other—Walker a little more than Micki because he was so eager to get to know his partner and it was different from the man we’ve gotten to know so far....

WandaVision Episode 4 Through its first three episodes, WandaVision has been more of a compelling and creative thought experiment that it was a coherent TV show. Which is ironic, of course, considering that the aim of the first three episodes was to mimic the style and flow of classic TV shows as closely as possible. Still, while inventive mimicry is appreciated, it does not a TV program make. At some point the conceptual rubber of WandaVision was going to have to meet the narrative road....

“It’s Wanda. It’s all Wanda,” states Monica Rambeau after she’s ejected from Westview for triggering Scarlet Witch’s memories of Ultron and the real world. SWORD’s gal on the ground had tentatively been playing the part of ‘Geraldine’ in the first three episodes of WandaVision’s sitcom reality, but episode 4 gave us a chance to see the real Monica in action as she attempted to help the FBI’s Jimmy Woo unravel the mysteries of Westview prior to being pulled inside....

After nine episodes, WandaVision has wrapped up with a tremendous series finale episode. Agatha Harkness and Tyler Hayward’s plans have been foiled. Vision has ceased to exist in one sense, while a version of him continues to exist in another sense. Westview is freed, all except for one doomed citizen. Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, has moved on to find out what she truly is. Then, as we’re tipped off by the lack of Disney+ asking us if we want to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron next, we get two different post-credits scenes....

While you may or may not have guessed it from last night’s episode, Batwoman has officially recast the role of Kate Kane in Season 2. The news broke via several entertainment outlets last night during the airing of “Survived Much Worse,” right before the on-screen reveal that someone wearing Kate’s red necklace lies seemingly unconscious in the sewers of Gotham. (As you do.) According to TVLine, Krypton‘s Wallis Day will be taking over the role of Kate Kane, previously held by Ruby Rose in Season 1, in the second half of Season 2....

At first, it might appear Colin Minihan’s cat-and-mouse-chace movie What Keeps You Alive is serving up just another lesbian psychopath through the lens of a man, but Hannah Emily Anderson owns her psychoses. Admittedly, this reviewer is on record for having an affinity for villains and anti-heroes, but Jackie lays it out straight. She jokes about being a psychopath. She beams her narcissistic stare, sometimes directly into the camera, while remaining a bit offside, begging the audience to hate her....

Great premise, right? Well, the production has some great creative talent to drive it too. Eden comes from director Yasuhiro Irie, who also did Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and boasts Toshihiro Kawamoto, best known as character designer and animation director for Cowboy Bebop, as a concept designer. Hopefully, Eden is good; regardless, it is a notable series in the history of Netflix, as Eden is being billed as “the first Netflix Japanese Original Anime....

For those not in the know, these three films are compilation movies mostly made up of footage from the original Japanese Gundam series (which also aired on Cartoon Network in America) with some new animation thrown in. They condense the series down from 42 episodes to three fairly lengthy films (each over two hours). With three movies being far less of a commitment, many fans (old and new) may wonder if the films are an easier alternative to experiencing the story of the original Mobile Suit Gundam....

Leavesden—which features roughly 538,196 square footage of flexible space, including stage space, one of the largest filtered and heated stage-based water tanks in Europe, production office space, workshops and support buildings—is one of the few places in the UK where large-scale film productions can be made. It is where the Harry Potter movies were filmed, as well as recent big-budget fare such as Spider-Man: Far From Home, Hobbs & Shaw, Ready Player One, the Kingsman films, and, most importantly, Paddington and Paddington 2....

“Every time we start developing a project, we are always talking about how we set it apart from everything else that we’ve done,” says Hawkeye executive producer Trinh Tran in an interview with Den of Geek about the six-episode series. “With Falcon and Winter Soldier, with WandaVision and Loki, they’re all different,” she continues. “In terms of Hawkeye, how can we set that apart from everything else? One way was that we didn’t want to do another world-ending catastrophe where the heroes are saving their universe....

Anyone who has even cursory knowledge of video games has probably heard of Final Fantasy. It’s the series that cemented many JRPG ideas (and even saved SquareSoft from bankruptcy), but it’s also a franchise that regularly reinvents the wheel with every new entry in terms of its gameplay, story, setting, and characters. While that approach has resulted in an RPG franchise that is never afraid to be different, it has also resulted in some complicated questions about how outsiders should approach the series....

Maya Lopez was introduced in Daredevil #9 in 1999. The storyline was written by David Mack and drawn by Joe Quesada. Through no fault of its own, the story was doomed to be overwhelmed by its placement in the Daredevil series, as it followed Kevin Smith’s high-profile take on the character and came just before Brian Michael Bendis’ lengthy and defining run. The Origin of Echo As the story goes, Maya was the deaf daughter of Willie Lincoln, one of the Kingpin’s enforcers....

Obviously, with McGregor and Christensen about to return to our television screens for a new adventure set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, the timing seems right to bring back Neeson as the Force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn, too. But the actor disagrees. When asked by Comic Book whether he’d ever reprise his Star Wars role again, Neeson quickly confirmed that, while he’d love to do it, he’s not interested in appearing on TV: “Oh, I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so … if it was a film....

There’s a moment in “Broken Trust,” Superman & Lois episode 6, that will make you confused about what show you’re watching. Volunteer assistant football coach Clark Kent is in Metropolis with the boys for their first game against their old school, and the first time Jordan is seeing his ex-bullies since he gained his powers. Like any kid who found their confidence after time away from their tormentors, Jordan is revelling in showing them up a little – he lays a massive hit on one of the Metropolis High players and taunts him over it....

Sweet Tooth executive producer Beth Schwartz enjoys killing her sister. Wait, sorry, left a bit of important context out of that! Schwartz enjoys killing characters named after her sister, Nancie, in the projects she works on. The iteration of Nancie who bites the dust in Netflix’s charming post-apocalyptic adventure is a nosy neighbor who goes out of her way to make sure everyone in her locked-down community is following quarantine rules....

Microsoft recently rocked the internet when the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer, announced that the company will acquire Activision Blizzard for an estimated $68.7 billion. While this news might seem like a boon for Activision (given the recent lawsuits and protests it has faced) some gamers are concerned Microsoft will no longer release Activision Blizzard titles on non-Xbox platforms, and could even turn Call of Duty and Warzone into two of the company’s biggest future exclusives....

Ever since Disney+ canceled its suite of Defenders shows on Netflix, fans have feared the day when Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and their teamup effort The Defenders would be removed from the massive streaming service. Well, thanks to some eagle-eyed Netflix viewers, we now know that day is unfortunately nigh. Per the “Renew Daredevil” Twitter account, streams of any of the Defenders series comes along with the watermarked message that “This show is available isn’t March 1st....

The details of Ubisoft’s Star Wars game are thin at the moment, but the only detail that really matters right now is the fact that Ubisoft is making a modern Star Wars game in the first place despite the fact that Disney and EA previously struck a deal that seemingly granted the publisher exclusive rights to the franchise. So how did this happen? Will other developers now be allowed to pursue the development of Star Wars games?...

“We’ll always look for places where there is that commonality of purpose, mission, and culture,” said Nadella to CNET regarding future potential acquisitions. “We will always look to grow inorganically where it makes sense.” Head of Xbox Phil Spencer echoed that idea somewhat by noting that the recent ZeniMax Media deal “doubles the size of our creative organization” and that “content is just the incredible ingredient to our platform that we continue to invest in....
