Minority Mindset

Maia is dealing with a difficult situation involving Tallulah, who is both her best friend and a client. Since starting a new relationship with Tessa, Tallulah hasn’t been putting much effort into either their friendship or her work. Although Maia is successfully negotiating profitable deals for Tallulah, Tallulah remains upset about a previous embarrassing advertisement and lacks motivation to pursue new projects. Their disagreements are usually expressed through subtle, indirect comments. However, things escalate when Maia accidentally throws a large kitchen knife while opening a mountain of publicity packages for Tallulah, and it lands, shockingly, through her shoe, her toe, and right through Alani’s immaculate floor.

While Neuromancer is generating a lot of buzz, it’s not the only sci-fi show coming in 2026. Next year also brings completely new series from well-known creators, revivals of beloved franchises, and exciting continuations of rising sci-fi universes. There’s a lot to be excited about, and these shows are at the top of the list of what to watch.

Since the show takes place in 1962—27 years before the first movie—it was inevitable that Welcome to Derry would start revealing connections to the original Losers’ Club. We’ve already learned that Will Hanlon is Mike Hanlon’s father. Fans also began to speculate about a link between Marge and Richie Tozier, noticing similarities in their personalities and a past event where Richie saved Marge’s friend during a dangerous fire. The show’s finale has now confirmed what many viewers suspected about Marge Truman.

Reiner, age 78, recently released his latest film, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, in September.

Jonathan Hickman is one of the most popular and influential comic book writers working today, known for his groundbreaking work on major Marvel characters and critically acclaimed independent stories. Here are eight of his very best works.

As a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica, I’ve always felt that the reboot really didn’t have a single weak episode. Seriously, across all 76 episodes, so many are just outstanding – truly flawless, in fact. The very best ones? They just completely grab you, whether it’s through the incredible character journeys or those shocking, yet relatable, reveals. Those are the episodes that leave me breathless, from beginning to end.

The episode continues directly after the last one, and surprisingly, it only took destroying one pillar to release Pennywise. A thick fog quickly descends on Derry, killing plants, causing unsettling smiles, and even freezing the river – it felt very similar to the movie Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (though I only saw the trailer). Pennywise is free and doing well, immediately taking over Derry High School. He gathers the upperclassmen for an assembly and shockingly kills the principal with a gruesome display, complete with a song and dance. He then traps the students with terrifying visions, leaving them paralyzed and floating in the air. While it’s understandable the finale aims for a dramatic climax, Pennywise’s sudden increase in power feels a bit much, potentially diminishing the impact of future confrontations with the Losers’ Club. As Pennywise leads the children away, Lilly, Ronnie, and Marge find missing person flyers, including one for their friend Will. Determined to stop him, Marge steals a milk truck and drives her friends towards Pennywise’s circus wagon.

The first season of It: Welcome to Derry features returning Stephen King characters like Leroy Hanlon (Jovan Adepo), Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk), and Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård). It also introduces Leroy’s wife, Charlotte Hanlon, played by Taylour Paige (known from Zola and The Toxic Avenger), and her presence proves invaluable. Throughout the eight episodes, Charlotte emerges as the most level-headed and rational character, essentially acting as the audience’s voice and consistently helping to save others.
