Star Trek’s Most Underserved Characters Will Be Back in Strange New Worlds

New DVD release, , ,
There were a lot of exciting news to come out of Paramount’s Star Trek Day 2021 celebrations, but perhaps the most rewarding for long-time Trekkies was the official announcement of the entire Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast. While we’ve known for a long time the Trek spin-off’s cast of characters would be led by Anson Mount’s Captain Pike, Ethan Peck’s Spock, and Rebecca Romijn’s Number One/Una—all of whom were introduced in their current iterations on Star Trek: Discovery, but who originally hail from The Original Series—it was unclear which other TOS characters might appear. Now, we know, and they…

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Reveals Unexpected Khan Connection

New DVD release, , , ,
Khan Noonien-Singh is widely considered to be Star Trek‘s best villain. Introduced in The Original Series episode “Space Seed,” Khan (as played by Ricardo Montalbán) would go on to be the eponymous villain in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, effectively killing fan favorite character Spock in the feature film’s climax. (It’s OK… he got better.) Subsequently, the character made appearances in other corners of the franchise, including on Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, and in the (worst) reboot film Star Trek Into Darkness, where he was played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Now, a different Noonien-Singh is poised to play a main…

New DVD release, , , , ,

Kingdom Hearts‘ greatness comes down to a variety of factors, but discussion about the game really do seem to always circle back to those worlds.

Will Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Cast More Characters from The Cage?

New DVD release, ,
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is poised to serve the quintessence of the spacefaring franchise: The voyages of the U.S.S. Enterprise—albeit during the captaincy of James T. Kirk’s immediate predecessor, Christopher Pike (Anson Mount). The Paramount+ series—spun off from Star Trek: Discovery—has announced the start of its production and revealed its primary cast. Interestingly, one newcomer in particular bears a noteworthy resemblance to a forgotten character from original Star Trek pilot “The Cage,” whose general era this series will showcase. An announcement by Paramount has officially welcomed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast members Babs Olusanmokun (Dune, The Defenders), Christina…

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Doesn’t Need Captain Kirk

New DVD release, , ,
By all accounts, the upcoming series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds intends to be a return to the first principles of the Star Trek franchise: Hope, optimism, and a sense of collective possibility. From its supposedly more episodic narrative style and sunnier overall outlook to the servant-hearted captain at its helm, these particular voyages of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise will feel quite a bit different than their recent small-screen predecessors. While shows like Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard have pushed the franchise forward with darker themes that wrestle with the mental and emotional cost of a life spent…

Aquaman 2: James Wan Promises More Serious Tone, New Worlds

New DVD release, , , ,
The sequel always has to go darker, right? After a new hope, the empire needs to strike back. It’s true from The Temple of Doom scaring the PG out of Raiders of the Lost Ark to The Dark Knight snuffing the ray of hope presented in Batman Begins. And it appears to be true in some form with Aquaman 2, judging by what director James Wan teased at DC FanDome. Speaking at a panel that consisted of Wan and frequent collaborator Patrick Wilson chatting among themselves, the pair traded little scraps of on-set memories before teasing what to expect from…

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon – Release Date and Trailer

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Outer Worlds‘ story continues in Obsidian’s recently revealed Peril on Gorgon DLC. “What we wanted to do with the DLC was dig into some of the lore from the main campaign,” says game director Carrie Patel in an interview with GamesRadar. “There are a few details that come up in the base game and specifically there’s a drug called Adrena-Time. And so we saw the DLC as an opportunity to dig into Halcyon’s underlying problems. We know it’s a strange place run by the corporations. But how did some of the very specific problems that plagued this colony come…

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Writing Has Already Begun

New DVD release, , , ,
Normally, at this time of year, nerds descend on San Diego to celebrate all things mainstream pop culture.

War of the Worlds Season 2 Filming Now

New DVD release, ,
Eerie, desolate sci-fi series War of the Worlds aired in France in late 2019 and earlier this year in the US and UK. Less an adaptation of the titular H.G. Wells novel than a contemporary riff on the alien invasion thriller by creator Howard Overman (Crazyhead, Misfits), it resolutely ploughed its own furrow. Moody, atmospheric, bleak and emotional, it swapped red weed, tripods and heat rays for a grief-soaked meditation on family and survival… with terrifying alien robot sniper dogs. The series’ second run commission has been an open secret for months, but the official stamp was announced this weekend,…
