Thus I have sort of a learning curve to make up to understand the crew relationships and command structure. I have tried to keep this in mind as I watch and comment on each episode. Perhaps it is this learning curve that made it kind of strange to me to see the ships response to a first contact mission in last weeks All the World is a Birthday Cake.  Since Seth MacFarlane has made his show a homage to Star Trek, you would think…

The answer to that question might be yes as Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Gunn’s representatives are indeed talking to Warner Bros. about directing this new version of Suicide Squad, which at this time is called The Suicide Squad. This would be good news to those who thought Gunn got a raw deal with his outing from Marvel…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14520″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]As a giant Star Trek nerd, I was particularly excited to the idea of revisiting Jean-Luc Picard. While much of the details of the show remain in the planning stages, translated: “Their not going to tell you.” However, in a recent interview with Yahoo, he explained how the creative people at CBS were able to peak his interest enough to revisit the character he had pretty much given up on. I agreed to a meeting with the people who were going to produce this new version of Star Trek only because I wanted to seriously and respectfully…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/qyveTC0C-40″ align=”center”][vc_column_text]With ABC and Marvel releasing the Agents of Shield Preview Trailer, they are obviously playing with our fragile emotions. Just last week, Chloe Bennett confirmed that Agent Phil Coulson had indeed died after the end of Season 5. Now with release of the trailer, they are opening the door to reconsider what we think we know. Not only do they show a holographic recording of Coulson talking to Mac, they also show what looks like a very alive Coulson, although he doesn’t appear to know what Shield is. Stop playing around with our feelings. Marvel’s Agents of Shield is set…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14258″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The awards and recognition keeps pouring in for Marvel’s Black Panther as they took home the best ensemble cast at tonight’s SAG awards. During his acceptance speech, Star Chadwick Boseman teased what has to be the worst kept secret in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that he expects a Black Panther  2. He made mention of the fact during his speech: It’s a pleasure to be celebrated by you and to be loved by you. One thing I do know, [when asked] ‘Did it change the industry?’ is that you can’t have a Black Panther without a 2 on it. So…

Based on events before the creation of the White Walkers, very little else is known. But if you think series lead Naomi Watts is going to spill any information on the show, you can put that to rest. Apparently, the secrecy mavens at HBO have already trained her well about keeping things on lock down. In a recent interview with Variety, they attempted to get her to give any insight into the project…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14242″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Let’s face it. When you’re doing a film about what has been considered by many as the “wet-headed step-child” of DC comics, your expectations might not have been grandiose. James Wan knew he wanted to elevate the character to a level that was on an equal footing with the more iconic heroes like Superman or Batman. What he probably didn’t anticipate was his film, would one day surpass all DC films that came before it and become the highest grossing DC film of all time. He helped commemorate this by posting about the character he wanted to…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14212″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When Fox’s 2nd Season of The Orville started production, there were rumors that Sage Halston, who played the role of Chief Security Office Alana Kitan was leaving the show.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14223″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]While young children might recognize Henry Cavill from portraying their favorite superhero Superman, the show runner for his upcoming NetFlix series The Witcher is quick to point out, it is not aimed at children. Lauren S. Hissrich watched a cut from the show and came away with the impression that viewer discretion might be advised, especially where young children are concerned. https://twitter.com/lhissrich/status/1089320545470959616?s=21 While an actual release date has not been revealed, production for the series is still underway and has drawn quite a bit of interest from fans of the video game series and fan’s of Cavill who are still clinging…
