Disney’s Next Streaming Mega-Hit Will Be a Peak Dragon Fantasy

This new adaptation isn’t just a trip down memory lane – it aims to deliver on the promise of the beloved Inheritance Cycle novels.

Battlestar Galactica’s Haunting Mantra Is a Chilling Reflection of Our Times

A recurring line in Battlestar Galactica is, “All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.” Often spoken by the Cylons, this phrase highlights a major theme of the show: the idea that humanity is doomed to repeat its mistakes, endlessly cycling through war, destruction, and attempts to survive.

‘The Rings of Power’s Wizard Issue Fixes a LOTR Problem

As a lifelong Tolkien fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the unanswered questions in his world, especially regarding the Blue Wizards. Tolkien himself seemed unsure what to do with them, and it’s something he wrestled with throughout his writings. So, I was really intrigued to see Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power reveal the Stranger as Gandalf the Grey – one of the five Istari sent to Middle-earth. And even more surprisingly, they’ve confirmed that Ciarán Hinds’ character, the Dark Wizard, is actually a Blue Wizard – Pallando! Now, The Rings of Power is already dividing fans, and I’m sure this move will spark even more debate. But honestly, I think it’s a clever way to address a problem Tolkien himself couldn’t quite solve after 71 years – finally giving some closure to those mysterious Blue Wizards.

Dune: Part Two Has a Single Heartbreaking and Perfect Quote

Dune: Part Two surpassed the first film in almost every aspect, and it’s continued to resonate with audiences two years after its release.

10 Detective Shows Better Than Sherlock

While Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are rightfully celebrated, many other great TV detectives deserve recognition too. From traditional police shows to unique crime series, a lot of investigators bring more emotional depth, complexity, or charisma to their roles than the famously detached and aloof Sherlock.

Criminally Underwatched Psychological Thriller Masterpiece Tops Streaming After Killing Its Own Network

Mr. Robot, a suspenseful and mind-bending thriller created by Sam Esmail, really launched Rami Malek’s career. Before winning an Oscar for his role in Bohemian Rhapsody, he starred as Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity worker at a somewhat questionable company called Allsafe. Elliot struggled with social anxiety and a dissociative identity disorder, and found an outlet by becoming a hacker who fights for justice, especially after being drawn into a mission by the mysterious Christian Slater’s character.
