Since those films are so beloved, it makes sense to revisit classic Star Trek episodes. Focusing on the shows that originally made the franchise popular would be a great way to satisfy longtime fans and attract new viewers to the best of Star Trek.
As we look ahead to the 2026 TV schedule and more Trek, Anson Mount chronicled the final scene of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Instagram. While readers won’t be able to stream it with a Paramount+ subscription for quite some time, I can feel the gravitas of its significance in Mount’s words, as he commemorated the moment with a farewell to his role as Captain Pike:
Now that the first trailer for Supergirl is out, we’re learning more about Kara Zor-El and her role as one of Earth’s Kryptonians. This makes a plot point from season 2 of Peacemaker – involving the Justice League – much easier to understand, thanks to a recent reveal.
Past attempts to bring Street Fighter to the screen haven’t quite captured the mix of intense action and quirky fun that makes the series special. However, the trailer for the 2026 film suggests this version will be different, packing in plenty of exciting moments and exaggerated visuals. One scene, in particular, really shows that the filmmakers understand what fans love about Street Fighter and why it’s remained popular for so long.
Apple has finally confirmed a future for For All Mankind, though it might take a bit longer than fans hoped. With another season and a spinoff series already planned, the show is now receiving the recognition it deserves. In today’s innovative landscape of science fiction television, For All Mankind stands out as a top-tier original series on Apple TV+.
As a big fan of political talk, I was really moved by the recent live Political Gabfest show. It was especially poignant knowing both John Dickerson and Stephen Colbert were about to leave CBS. Colbert’s been handling everything with such class – you could see it even when accepting their Emmy for The Late Show – but he didn’t hold back when talking about Dickerson and CBS. There was a really emotional moment, and I wanted to share it with you all.
Being part of a popular genre is both a blessing and a curse – it’s tough to get noticed when there’s so much competition. A show really needs to be outstanding or offer something unique to succeed. Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue has that special something, and it’s not just its lengthy, though memorable, title.
The farewell to Yang was a heartwarming tribute filled with humor. Ariana Grande playfully acknowledged his years of making eggnog, joking that some batches were better than others – a funny way to show affection. Cher then delivered a hilarious and touching line, telling Yang he was “just the right amount of gay” – a compliment few could top! Yang himself expressed his deep appreciation for everyone on the team, saying he loved each person and all they’d done for him. It was a truly emotional send-off that left many in tears.
Ariana Grande consistently seems to enjoy herself on the set of 30 Rock, effortlessly shifting between quirky characters and delivering strong vocal performances when needed. Her opening monologue this week was a charming a cappella rendition of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” playfully addressing the awkwardness of buying gifts for distant relatives. She showcased her singing talent again during the Random Duet Christmas Spectacular, convincingly impersonating Katy Perry and performing a festive version of “Firework” alongside James Austin Johnson as Bob Dylan. The segment demonstrated her ability to do a variety of impressions in rapid succession.
Limited series offer creators the chance to tell richer, more detailed stories than a typical movie allows. Because they’re designed to conclude after one season, they also provide viewers with a satisfying ending. Beyond popular franchise entries, there are many hidden gems – compelling stories with strong acting – that deserve more attention.
