Okay, look, Hellfire isn’t going to win any awards, but if you’re just in the mood for a classic, low-budget action flick, it delivers. It’s a little rough around the edges – the writing is pretty basic, and honestly, everything feels a bit cheap – but there’s something kind of fun about that old-school vibe. The story is super simple, which actually works in its favor because it lets Lang do what he does best: get beat up, get sweaty, and blast through tons of enemies. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the ride.

I’ve always been captivated by Babylon 5, created by J. Michael Straczynski. It’s set in the mid-2200s and follows the lives of the human military personnel and alien ambassadors who work together on a massive, five-mile-long space station. The show, which originally aired from 1994 to 1998 and starred actors like Michael O’Hare, Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian, and Jerry Doyle, was truly groundbreaking – it even won two Emmys during its run, recognizing its incredible special effects and makeup!

Lyonel, nicknamed the Laughing Storm, initially appears as a friendly and lively companion to Dunk and Egg. However, his story in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms highlights how fragile alliances can be in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire world. Though the conflict between Lyonel and his companions doesn’t fully erupt until much later, it ultimately has a lasting and significant impact on Westeros.
