The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season-Premiere Recap: We’re Zoe Back

Everything feels comfortable and familiar, like no time has passed at all, even though the episode mostly catches us up on what the women have been doing since last season. Let’s start with Dorit. As soon as filming began, her soon-to-be-ex-husband, PK, was photographed kissing another woman – a rather unappealing display, reminiscent of Mauricio’s behavior but with less attractive company.

Preorders Are Now Live For The Upcoming Minecraft-Inspired Pokemon Spinoff, Pokemon Pokopia

Pokemon Pokopia will be the first Switch 2 game published by Nintendo released on a new type of card called a Game Key Card. Instead of a traditional game cartridge, this card verifies you own the game, but you’ll still need to download the full game onto your console. A benefit of these cards is that you can resell them later. The game itself is about 10GB in size, so you might want to consider getting a microSD Express card to give you more storage space. Right now, Amazon has a good deal on the Samsung P9 512GB card – it’s currently $75, down from its usual price of $100, but the sale is while supplies last.

Firefly’s Most Problematic Character Still Deserves Better 23 Years Later

Inara Serra is a standout character in Firefly, but looking back, some of her storylines haven’t aged well. While the show was forward-thinking for its time in depicting a sex worker, modern feminist perspectives reveal problematic and sexist elements within that portrayal, consistent with other works by Joss Whedon. Despite this, Inara remains a highlight of the series, brilliantly brought to life by Morena Baccarin, and she deserved a more thoughtfully written arc.
