Minority Mindset

In a surprising turn of events, Cal activates a hidden emergency system that disables all electrical devices worldwide. This stops the nuclear warheads from exploding, but also cuts off power to anyone not sheltering in bunkers. And there are survivors outside the Colorado bunker! Samantha Redmond, the villainous billionaire, reveals to Agent Xavier Collins that his wife, who he thought perished in the Atlanta attack, is alive and has been trying to reach him by radio. After Xavier and his colleague, Robinson (who is secretly dating Cal), uncover the truth behind the president’s murder – a disgruntled librarian seeking revenge for a lost love who died during bunker construction – Xavier escapes the bunker and sets off to find his wife.

Marvel has confirmed that Bastion won’t be the main villain in X-Men ’97 Season 2. Instead, the show will center around the powerful and dangerous Apocalypse. While Apocalypse was briefly shown in Season 1, his story will be a major focus in the new episodes.

True to form for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Dunk inevitably finds trouble, and Egg tells a lie – though with good intentions. As Maekar flies into a rage, the unlikely pair ride off, and the credits roll accompanied by a surprisingly fitting song.

Critics are loving NCIS: Origins, giving it an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes – higher than other shows in the NCIS franchise. Unlike the typical NCIS format, this series follows a more continuous storyline and takes a closer look at the early years of Gibbs and his team in the 1990s, exploring their personal histories. The show is getting even better with a new addition in Season 2.

I generally like Dorothy, but whenever Siegfried and Mrs. Hall come up, I get incredibly annoyed. It’s a strange reaction – it feels like being a child whose parents are splitting up and dating others, except these ‘parents’ are characters who never even were a couple, and I’m an adult! It’s ridiculous, but there it is. I just really dislike Dorothy and wish she’d go back to Malta!

Yasmin Muck, now an investigative journalist, isn’t driven by altruism. Throughout the fourth season of Industry, Marisa Abela’s character has been navigating a difficult marriage with her husband, Henry (Kit Harington), who struggles with addiction, all while trying to establish themselves at the fintech firm, Tender. Yasmin fiercely defends Tender’s problematic CEO, Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), and increasingly compromises her own morals to achieve her goals – even orchestrating a threesome with Henry and Whitney’s assistant, Hayley (Kiernan Shipka), and leveraging a connection to a neo-Nazi to gain support for Tender. She’s determined to make both her marriage and career succeed, but everything unravels in the episode “Dear Henry.” When evidence surfaces suggesting Tender is a fraudulent company, Whitney gives Henry a letter confessing the truth – effectively making him a scapegoat. In the latest episode, Yasmin goes on the offensive, using her connections to smear Tender, frame Henry, and protect herself. Having often been abandoned, she’s now taking control and abandoning him first.

It’s a shame you can’t bet against a marriage! Mr. and Mrs. Muck are now at the center of both a consumer fraud and a government corruption scandal. They seem to genuinely believe they aren’t to blame, claiming, “Other people let this happen.” This line is particularly revealing. When Henry reads a threatening letter from Whitney to his wife, they both interpret it as someone else being responsible for their problems—as if their own greed and carelessness played no part.
