Don’t be sad that Alien: Earth season one is over. Be glad that it happened. With the eighth and final episode of the season, creator Noah Hawley officially brought his story to an unexpected and fascinating close. A story that, we hope, will continue in the coming years. As of publication, a second season has […]

That Was the Most Intense Episode of ‘Alien: Earth’ Yet
The penultimate episode of Alien: Earth season one is now out in the world, and after a few episodes of setup, things took off like a rocket ship. There was payoff after payoff, showdown after showdown, and, yes, lots and lots of creepy, gory Alien action. It may have been the best episode of the […]
‘Peacemaker’ Went Full ‘Doctor Who’ Explaining How Portal Doors Work
It’s time to see once again what’s new in the world of Christopher Smith in another episode of Peacemaker. Will Chris return in the nick of time to save Eagly from whatever twin-tailed horrors ARGUS has in store for our feathered friend? Will Chris and Harcourt ever become Facebook official?

Oh Dear, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’
At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Paramount teased our very first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season with a clip that proved to be rather baffling. A contextless gag that saw Pike, Chapel, La’an, and Uhura seemingly permanently transformed into Vulcans, the clip immediately sparked discussion about the Vulcan crew’s sudden racially prejudiced treatment […]
‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Did a Documentary Episode That Should’ve Been Killed in the Edit
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is, at this point, very clearly a series that is unafraid to dabble in its format on a regular basis. That can lead to episodes of Star Trek that don’t necessarily look or feel like what we expect of Star Trek, even if they still play with ideas and approaches that fit […]
‘Peacemaker’ Returns, and Wastes No Time Retconning the New DC Universe
With Superman in the books, the time has finally come to see how DC Studios’ rebooted universe will continue with the second season of James Gunn’s John Cena-led TV series, Peacemaker. Even before the show’s release, Peacemaker existed in a unique transitional phase between the old and new DC Universes, leading fans to wonder which elements would […]
‘Star Trek’ Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds’

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Returns With an Awkward Case of Tonal Whiplash
It’s been almost two years since Star Trek: Strange New Worlds left us on a tense cliffhanger, and now it’s finally back to pay it off. It is perhaps an unfair pressure to put on the show, that circumstances outside of its control have kept this return anticipated for longer than it should have. But […]
‘Doctor Who’ Needs to Go Away and Think About What It Did
Doctor Who is frequently bad television. In some ways, it’s part of the charm: dodgy production values redeemed by inspired storytelling or character work, or clunkily camp B-movie sci-fi elevated by glimmers of spectacle, the perpetual promise of big ideas yearning to escape one holdback or another. So rarely do those myriad failings combine, so […]
