New DVD releasefinal, helsing, narrative, palette, returns, season, travel

This Van Helsing article contains major spoilers for the season 5 premiere. From the dynamically retooled opening title sequence to the Jack-centric Transylvania storyline, it takes only moments to recognize that Van Helsing’s fifth and final season promises to take fans on a wild ride as it brings to a close its delightfully circuitous tale of horror’s most iconic vampire hunting family. Season premiere “Past Tense” doesn’t represent the first time the Van Helsing family story finds itself in the past, but there seems to be a more concerted effort this time to employ traditional time travel elements as the…

Yesterday Is History: Meet the Latest Addition to the Time Travel Romance Genre

New DVD releaseaddition, genre, history, latest, romance, travel, yesterday

There’s a reason that time travel romances are popular, and it isn’t just the success of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander (both the books and the television series). The idea of traveling to a different time is, in itself, a bit romantic, and lovers crossed by time and space pluck the heartstrings of hopeless romantics. Kosoko Jackson’s newly released Yesterday Is History hits all the right notes for the genre by both drawing on its predecessors and striking out in a new direction, giving queer readers—especially queer Black men—representation in a genre that’s normally more female-focused. Andre Cobb is a young Black…

Where Did Star Trek: Discovery Travel to Get Those Gorgeous Shots of Hima?

New DVD releasediscovery, gorgeous, shots, those, travel, where

Star Trek doesn’t need exotic filming locations to tell a good science fiction story. For decades, this show survived mostly on sound stages and, like most TV series, that’s still where much of its production takes place. However, a few international shoots never hurt a show, right? While the bulk of Star Trek: Discovery films in Toronto, Canada (so, technically abroad for us yankees), the series has occasionally left North America to get some gorgeous shots of other corners of the universe. In Season 1, production traveled to Jordan for the series pilot, using the country’s deserts to film the…

If you’ve seen Dark Season 3, you’ll know that Martha and Jonas managed to end the knot. In order to do this they needed to prevent Tannhaus from experimenting with time-travel in the first place, which meant a trip to the Origin World. When they got to the Origin World, you may remember a beautiful vortex-like tunnel of light that just travels further and further into the abyss. With no end and no beginning, this tunnel allowed Martha and Jonas to open a window into their ‘past’, where they could see their own younger selves when they called out for…

Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is regarded today as one of the most influential and important pieces of science fiction ever made. Decades later, the story of how man was born and reached the stars still feels like more than just a space-faring fairy tale. Today, the movie is recognized for its predictive power. In fact, according to a new scientific study, 2001 may have predicted yet another aspect of space travel researchers are only beginning to understand. The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) released a study in April 2020 that shows how the…
