In 2025, many of the top sci-fi shows explored big ideas. Notably, three out of the five best shows focused on threats from outer space, prompting viewers to consider humanity’s place in the universe. One standout series was a lesser-known, foreign-language show about the dangers of artificial intelligence. The last of the top five delved into the meaning of being human, told from the perspective of an android.
Adding to a controversial plan, Trump stated that men will not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, saying it “won’t happen.” He shared this while promoting Freedom 250, a “bipartisan initiative” organizing the event, known as the Patriot Games. The official website currently lacks specific details about the Games, but it’s expected to be updated after Trump finishes watching the movies Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
Emily discovers Alfie and Mindy’s secret one night, and the next day, she learns Gabriel is leaving on a billionaire’s yacht. The episode starts the following morning, meaning at least a full day has passed since the discovery. However, Mindy seems to have been trying to apologize to Emily for much longer – perhaps a week or so. Emily then goes for a run, refusing to discuss things with Mindy, claiming everything is alright.
As a huge Stranger Things fan, I was completely floored by the first four episodes of the latest season! I honestly didn’t think they could add much new to the mix, but they really did. Vecna managed to kidnap twelve kids to further his plans, Eleven reconnected with her sister Kali, and Will discovered he had powers he didn’t know about – and that’s just scratching the surface, especially with Dr. Kay’s mysterious motives still up in the air. With Vol. 2 and the extra-long finale coming up, everyone’s buzzing with theories, so I’ve rounded up the top five most mind-blowing ones fans have come up with.
The supernatural action movie remains popular for many reasons, including a powerful lead performance and a dark, gothic style that heavily influenced pop culture. A key part of its lasting appeal is its hopeful message, perfectly captured in the film’s most iconic line.

This year, Barack Obama’s Oscar picks are much closer to the Academy’s choices than they were last year, when only four of his selections received Best Picture nominations. The biggest surprise this year was that Marty Supreme wasn’t nominated. It makes you wonder if he’s been reading Vulture’s awards predictions newsletter, Gold Rush, and if he has a dislike for table tennis!
Sylvie unexpectedly goes back to her husband, despite previously seeming ready to leave him (which doesn’t make much sense – it’s as if her character had a memory wiped between scenes!). She’s shocked to find another woman in their house, wearing Sylvie’s robe – yikes! Sylvie immediately sets boundaries with her husband, Laurent, telling him that his other partners aren’t allowed to wear her clothes or sleep in their bed. That seems perfectly fair!

The recent announcement proves what we already suspected: the actors currently listed for Avengers: Doomsday aren’t the only ones who will be in the film. Beyond that, the way Marvel released the first trailer suggests the remaining three will offer even more exciting glimpses of what’s to come.
