Over the years, Star Trek has seen a variety of major stars make cameos, as well as emerging actors make an appearance, before blowing up in a big way. While the films generally see the former, with stars like Christopher Lloyd and Malcolm McDowell taking supporting roles (usually as bad guys), the TV series’ generally make up the latter. Most of the time an actor is only seen in one episode, but may be featured in up to three if their role is important to the storyline....

It was expected of a game as expansive and beautiful as the latest Bethesda masterpiece. But it was still a lot. Five years down the line, these requirements are much easier to meet. Even with budget gaming rigs – but not everyone has the spare cash, and few things beat playing Fallout 4 on your laptop at work when you should be double-checking accounting files. Luckily modders have been working tirelessly since release to optimize the experience in such a way that even the most humble of rigs can run the game acceptably well....

Even though it premiered over 30 years ago in 1987, Full House remains one of the most beloved sitcoms of the modern era of television. The series followed the lives of Danny Tanner and his three children, DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle; as well as his brother-in-law, Jesse Katsopolis, and his best friend, Joey Gladstone, as they all lived in the same crowded San Francisco home. For eight years, the series was full of plenty of wholesome storylines, cheesy jokes, and meaningful speeches that were followed by a hug....

The Rise of Skywalker finally concludes both Disney’s sequel trilogy and the Skywalker saga that began back in 1977. The film’s predecessor The Last Jedi directed by Rian Johnson was lauded by critics but divided fans. With JJ back at the helm of the franchise, the film promised a satisfying and emotional sendoff to its beloved characters. Unfortunately, the film received the opposite reaction and was panned by critics yet celebrated by fans....

Watching Return of the Jedi after The Empire Strikes Back can feel a bit like an emotional letdown. All of the narrative complexities of the previous installment change from an introspective and gritty tragedy to a more cathartic closing act to George Lucas’s science fiction opus. Instinctively we know that good must triumph over evil in the Star Wars Saga, but Return of the Jedi can make it feel less earned....

He might have been a man overwhelmed by his love for science and is assumed dead by toxic exposure to whatever made up those “moon rocks,” but the man who technically never made a physical appearance definitely has some defining “words of wisdom.” It’s like he’s staring into my soul. With science. 1. “Just a heads-up: That coffee we gave you earlier had fluorescent calcium in it so we can track the neuronal activity in your brain....

Horror flicks can easily be about anything that makes our skin crawl. From maniacs with masks and sharp objects to haunted houses populated by vengeful spirits, finding something frightening is as easy as knowing where to look. But when it comes to certain members of the genre, they need to look no farther than human superstition. Urban legends and campfire tales have been with us since the birth of language itself, so it makes sense that they would transition well from the campfire to the screen....

While the world of Harry Potter might contain a lot of magic and wonder, there are many things about it that just don’t make a lot of sense. While magic allows people in the wizarding world to do a lot of things more efficiently, such as appear from place to place instantly and levitate objects, there are many things that wizards and witches do that aren’t practical. Muggle inventions and technology actually have many advantages to things in the wizarding world, and there are many inventions that the wizarding world should use but don’t....

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is a fan’s dream. We would have never imagined that we’d see the pocket monsters we grew up collecting as children in live action on the big screen. Sure, the property is so popular it was bound to happen, but there was something surreal to see it in real life. While there is plenty of fan service, we couldn’t help but notice a few notable faces were missing....

Most of Musical.ly’s fans are aged between 13 and 21. The typical Musical.ly teen makes a video of themselves lip synching to a favorite track. They then upload it to Musical.ly so they can share their effort with their friends. Some of the young fans will just hang out there because their friends do. They may upload the odd lip synching track, but little else. You will find similar amateur pages on most social networks....

The Hunger Games is a relatively new series, but it has already aged in some questionable ways. The first film was released in 2012 on the coattails of Harry Potter’s conclusion and helped launch the career of Jennifer Lawrence. Catching Fire followed one year later, and the Mockingjay films were released throughout 2014 and 2015. These movies were obviously never as big as Harry Potter, and the movies weren’t quite as good....

With San Diego Comic-Con 2019 winding down, it’s time to take a look back at the convention and really appreciate the trailers fans were treated to at the event. One of the trailers that fans have been talking about for days has to be It Chapter 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Stephen King film. The second film is set in the second half of the novel’s narrative, with a now-adult Loser’s Club returning to Derry to stop Pennywise once and for all....

The West Wing is considered one of the most influential TV series of all times. With its portrayal of US politics and its in-depth inquisition into proceedings at the White House, it provides invigorating and interesting viewing. President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) runs the show at the White House, and his team stands together to accomplish all kinds of feats, from nuclear treaties to bomb diffusions. Still, there are some things which don’t quite make sense on the series, or which viewers might have wondered about....

Love it or hate it, Fox’s Gotham is one massive television sensation. Although many believe it makes no sense without a full-fledged Batman, Gotham has found a dedicated fanbase of DC lovers. However, the show isn’t always that loyal to the DC comics that have inspired its world, characters, and themes. In some cases, the show has diverted from the source material in notable ways. Sometimes it hasn’t even been that respectful of what fans have come to expect from this gritty superhero world....

Thanks to series like LOST, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead, it has become commonplace for TV series to kill off main characters. It provides the shock value that keeps viewers glued to their TVs and keeps actors on their toes week-to-week, season-to-season, never knowing who might be next to get a pink slip. That said, sometimes characters are killed off for more than just dramatic effect. An actor might ask to leave or get out of their contract, or their contract might have simply expired with no desire to renew....

iPad reviews have landed for Apple’s 10th-generation entry-level model, and they are somewhat mixed. The main feeling is that the price means the new model sits somewhat uncomfortably between the 9th generation – which Apple still sells – and the iPad Air. Whether it’s worth the money is something on which reviewers don’t agree, some saying that this is the new default iPad, while others think you should go for the older model or the Air, depending on the features you want …...
