I’m really excited about Will Byers’s journey in the final season of Stranger Things! It’s amazing to see him finally embrace his powers and grow as a person. And I absolutely love that he’s finding support and connection with Robin Buckley. As the only main LGBTQ+ characters on the show, their friendship feels natural and it’s honestly been one of my favorite parts of the season so far. It’s just so heartwarming to see them connect!

Warner Bros. announced last night it will be put up for sale after splitting from Discovery Global. Several major companies, including Comcast and Netflix, expressed interest in buying it. Netflix ultimately made the winning bid. Although the deal has sparked controversy, Netflix is assuring viewers that significant changes aren’t expected anytime soon.

Sana Amanat, an Executive Producer, recently told Empire magazine that Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones will maintain a key part of her personality when she appears in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. Jessica will only get involved because of her own personal reasons and will continue to be a largely independent character.

The fallout from Picard’s most difficult experience culminates in what many consider the most powerfully moving scene in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Season 4 episode, “Family,” is a subdued and realistic story, a change of pace after the previous episodes’ excitement. However, like the viewers, Picard struggles to overcome being assimilated by the Borg. Following a compelling episode focused on his brother, Patrick Stewart gives a particularly memorable and heartbreaking performance as Picard, in a scene that remains iconic to the series.

Marvel Studios usually keeps details about its upcoming movies secret, but some information about Avengers: Doomsday has leaked. A key member of the film’s creative team recently shared his experiences working on set, and his comments suggest a significant change in direction for the movie – a change that could be positive for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Honestly, I was surprised to see the film’s numbers dip over Thanksgiving weekend. It made $61.7 million domestically, which was actually less than the original Wicked film made during its second weekend over the same holiday – that one brought in $81.2 million! The sequel dropped a huge 58% in attendance, and that’s really unusual because Thanksgiving is usually a big moviegoing weekend and films don’t usually fall that much week to week.

Movies like Titanic really changed the game, ushering in a new age of films that made over a billion dollars. But James Cameron’s blockbuster wasn’t the only huge hit of the 1990s – each year brought several films that became all-time classics. And even if a movie didn’t do great in theaters, it could still become profitable thanks to sales of VHS and DVDs.

Netflix emailed its subscribers early this morning to share updates about the HBO Max deal. They want to reassure everyone that things aren’t changing right now and that HBO Max will still work as usual for the time being, as the agreement hasn’t been finalized yet.

When the second shift begins, I need updates on two things: when Langdon will be back, and why Collins left.

The CSI shows offer a compelling look at how science is used to solve crimes, focusing more on the challenge of figuring things out than on traditional police work. The most engaging episodes usually center around the clever methods the teams use to uncover forensic evidence, ultimately helping them identify criminals and solve complex cases.
