If you recently finished watching the fifth season of Stranger Things on Netflix, you probably remember the dramatic finale. It definitely didn’t show Lucas leading a clapping game with the kids after they escaped the Mind Flayer’s lair! Throughout the season, Lucas was busy trying to protect his friends from Demogorgons. So, it’s a fun surprise to see Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas, playfully interacting with his young co-stars behind the scenes, away from all the monsters and danger.

I could be wrong, but it seems clear that the Enclave is most concerned with a conversation House had before the war with Cooper. In it, House talks about the algorithms and prediction models he used to accurately predict when the bombs would fall. Cooper is skeptical, asking if House is claiming to be a fortune teller. House insists he and Vault-Tec weren’t responsible for starting the apocalypse, despite Moldaver’s suspicions. He states, “I won’t be dropping those bombs, nor anyone at that meeting,” but believes another party was involved – the same one responsible for the creature in the snow. This mysterious entity was possibly seen lurking in the shadows during the meeting, and is long suspected to be connected to the Enclave. While it would be a major change to the story to say the Enclave created deathclaws, it’s plausible they were involved through agents within the military and government. We know from Fallout 2 and 3 that the Enclave extensively experimented with deathclaws after the war.

Despite some changes, the heart of the original story is still there. The sixth episode of Percy Jackson season 2 featured a major plot twist: Annabeth was captured by Luke, which kicked off a mission to rescue both her and the Golden Fleece. The seventh episode tells a story not found in the book, and it also builds anticipation for a thrilling finale.

Police identified Kiefer Sutherland as the person who attacked the driver and threatened them after getting into their car. The driver wasn’t hurt and didn’t require medical treatment.

After facing censorship for a racially-charged episode of his earlier show, The Lieutenant, Gene Roddenberry conceived of Star Trek. He discovered that science fiction allowed him to explore difficult topics—like prejudice and war—without immediately raising objections from network executives. While Star Trek is full of examples of this approach, the Season 1 episode “Balance of Terror” is particularly noteworthy. It powerfully addresses war, empathy, and directly confronts racial prejudice—a first for the series. Beyond its important themes, it’s also a gripping story that feels both epic and intensely personal.

The idea of a multiverse isn’t new, but it’s recently become incredibly popular, largely thanks to a 2014 Marvel comic event. However, a month before that comic, Spider-Verse, was released, an episode of the popular Cartoon Network show Steven Universe explored the same concept, becoming the show’s highest-rated episode and arguably starting the multiverse trend in mainstream media.

Just joking! I’m really proud of Shayne and his commitment to staying sober. It’s not even a ‘California sober’ situation like with DJ James Kennedy – Shayne stopped using things like weed, mushrooms, ketamine, and DMT a long time ago. He mentioned to Marcus that he considered trying kratom, and it made me realize how out of touch I am! What are all these new drugs? It briefly crossed my mind if I should try them, but no way – that’s a terrible idea. It’s definitely good that Shayne is avoiding them too, considering his past relapse lasted two years after he started using again.

Jesse Plemons, in a recent interview with Variety, hinted at the tone of his upcoming film, Digger. Though he didn’t share much detail, film fans will be excited to hear his description. While Digger is known to be a comedy, Plemons compared its style to that of a classic: Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove. He described the film, directed by Iñárritu, with a blend of interesting adjectives, leading to the comparison.

Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw’s husband in the original series, died of a heart attack during a workout in the first episode of And Just Like That…. His death was always part of the plan for the new show, intended to kickstart the storyline. However, shortly after the episode aired, multiple women accused actor Chris Noth of sexual assault. Noth denied the allegations, but as a result, a scene featuring him was removed from the season finale of And Just Like That….

The reunion starts off heated, with Heather immediately labeling Lisa as unreliable. Lisa quickly retaliates, calling Heather two-faced because she encouraged Angie to reveal the story about someone kissing and passing gas. Lisa then accuses Heather and Angie of working together to attack her, which they find hypocritical considering Lisa and Meredith often do the same. This pattern of teaming up becomes a recurring theme throughout the reunion. It’s clear Meredith and Lisa had a pre-existing understanding going into the season, and we see them constantly consulting each other and backing each other up in arguments. While some might see this as unfair, it’s typical behavior for the show – they should just acknowledge it.
