As a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica, I’ve always felt that the reboot really didn’t have a single weak episode. Seriously, across all 76 episodes, so many are just outstanding – truly flawless, in fact. The very best ones? They just completely grab you, whether it’s through the incredible character journeys or those shocking, yet relatable, reveals. Those are the episodes that leave me breathless, from beginning to end.
The episode continues directly after the last one, and surprisingly, it only took destroying one pillar to release Pennywise. A thick fog quickly descends on Derry, killing plants, causing unsettling smiles, and even freezing the river – it felt very similar to the movie Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (though I only saw the trailer). Pennywise is free and doing well, immediately taking over Derry High School. He gathers the upperclassmen for an assembly and shockingly kills the principal with a gruesome display, complete with a song and dance. He then traps the students with terrifying visions, leaving them paralyzed and floating in the air. While it’s understandable the finale aims for a dramatic climax, Pennywise’s sudden increase in power feels a bit much, potentially diminishing the impact of future confrontations with the Losers’ Club. As Pennywise leads the children away, Lilly, Ronnie, and Marge find missing person flyers, including one for their friend Will. Determined to stop him, Marge steals a milk truck and drives her friends towards Pennywise’s circus wagon.
The first season of It: Welcome to Derry features returning Stephen King characters like Leroy Hanlon (Jovan Adepo), Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk), and Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård). It also introduces Leroy’s wife, Charlotte Hanlon, played by Taylour Paige (known from Zola and The Toxic Avenger), and her presence proves invaluable. Throughout the eight episodes, Charlotte emerges as the most level-headed and rational character, essentially acting as the audience’s voice and consistently helping to save others.
In the season finale of It: Welcome to Derry, with the immediate danger past, the survivors can finally relax. Pennywise appears to be defeated, though he’ll likely return to terrorize the Losers Club again in the late 1980s. However, young Marge (Matilda Lawler), who had a particularly frightening encounter with the clown, is deeply disturbed. On the frozen lake, Pennywise reveals a shocking prophecy: Marge’s future son, Richie Tozier, will be one of those who ultimately destroys him, bluntly stating that Richie and his friends will bring about his end. (He certainly has a colorful way of speaking!)

The show largely focused on the lead-up to the devastating Black Spot fire of 1962, but its main purpose was to reveal how Pennywise came to be and his deep connection to the town of Derry. The children ultimately learned that Pennywise is trapped there because the Shokopiwah people created a protective barrier around Derry using pieces of the meteorite he arrived in millions of years ago.
The latest season of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days has started, and I’m already hooked on one couple in particular – though they’re facing some serious issues. I’m looking forward to learning more about Forrest’s fiancée, Sheena, as the show continues, but right now, things seem a little off.
In a move that has set the financial world aflutter, these two titans-one a stalwart of global banking, the other a darling of the crypto exchange-have announced an expansion of their digital asset partnership. Standard Chartered (LSE: STAN), with its air of venerable respectability, and Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN), the enfant terrible of the crypto sphere, have decided to pool their talents. How quaint! 🌍✨

It took a little time for the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation to really connect with their characters and find their rhythm, but once they did, the show became a classic. Commander Riker’s development is a great illustration of this. He starts out as a very self-assured and seemingly perfect leader, but a particular episode in season six really challenged that image and allowed him to grow.
