This The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live review contains spoilers.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Episode 2
Things have come a long way since The Walking Dead wasn’t allowed to drop the f-word at a climactic moment during Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and company’s confinement in a boxcar by the people of Terminus.
Now it seems like every episode features the kind of language that made NYPD Blue one of the most notorious shows on television, albeit without the nudity. Tongues are freer now, and standards have changed now that AMC is competing with prestige dramas on HBO and Showtime, not network television. Certainly, it’s fitting for a gritty show like The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live to indulge in language, because these are people who have survived a decade-plus of life after the end of the world. Shrinking violets need not apply; given that...

Skinford was shot and released in its native Australia and apparently nowhere else, in 2017. A sequel, Skinford: Chapter Two followed in 2018. So, when I saw the title Skinford: Death Sentence pop up on my radar I naturally enough thought it was a third film in the franchise.
Then I noticed the plot and crew credits were the same as the original film with just a couple of differences in the cast. A quick check of the copyright date confirmed this is not a new film. As near as I can guess new sales agent/distributor Black Mandala saw its potential as a cult film and picked it up; they must have some faith in it as IMDb has an entry for Skinford 2: The Curse which bears a...

Warning: this Review Of Foundation season two, episode one “In Seldon’s Shadow” contains spoilers.
After two years of being caught in the suspense of where the digital ghost of Hari Seldon will appear next, whether the Empire is going to crumble and what happens next now that Salvor has finally met her biological mother Gaal, season two of Foundation has landed. The revelations that begin to emerge in “In Seldon’s Shadow” are foretelling a dark future for both the Empire and possibly all of humanity.

The marketing material for Foundation season 2 makes no attempt to hide the fact that the show is in store for a big time jump. While this would be a major twist for many other TV shows, for Foundation‘s eons-spanning narrative it’s pretty standard. Not only did season 1 feature multiple time jumps, but the final moments of its finale actually bring viewers up to roughly 138 years in the future when season 2 is set to begin. That just happens to be the amount of time it takes for both Salvor Hardin (Leah Harvey) and Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) to reach Gaal’s native planet Synnax.
While roughly no time has passed for atypical mother-daughter duo Gaal and Salvor thanks to the intricacies of suspended animation and interstellar travel, what happened to the rest of the galaxy?
Showrunner David S. Goyer helpfully explained the situation to us when Den of Geek...

Victors write histories, while visionaries shape the future. The renowned science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov’s magnum opus, the millennia-spanning cosmic epic that is known as the “Foundation Saga,” delineates this aspect by weaving an intricate tale that encompasses a world-building of galactic scale across several timelines, peppered with adventure, sociopolitical intrigue, and religious intrigue. Released as a volume in 1951, the scope and scale of Foundation were so grand that it later went on to inspire iconic space epics like Dune, Star Wars, and many others.
Apple TV+’s series adaptation of the same name as the original Foundation saga released its first season in 2021, which, with its minor alteration in storytelling by adapting significant real-world allusions, has garnered praise from audiences and critics alike. The epic scale of the source material has been duly respected in the series with its sprawling cosmic landscape, character designs, scores, and the ambitiousness of the script.

Ingeon Games’ turn-based survival game Terminus: Zombie Survivors is still creeping towards that Early Access exit thanks to the latest update, which will arrive for later this week. Arriving June 2, the V0.9.8 “Fuel & Faith Update” builds off of last year’s “Evolution Update”, adding a new car fuel system, expanded locations, a new Pastor occupation for character roles, a food preservation function, an enhanced inventory system, and new sandbox options.
The introduction of a fuel system to Terminus will require players to manage their car’s fuel, which as you’d expect, is a crucial resource for survival. Players will need to strategize their exploration and movement to ensure they don’t run out of fuel at a critical moment. Thankfully, the inclusion of three new locations—Gas Station, Clothing Store, and Church—offer new resources and strategic opportunities. Each location presents unique challenges and rewards, expanding the strategic options available to the player.

Who are all of these characters now?
Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 4 was a Sarah-centric installment that shed a lot of light on her plight to find Wendell, and it was a decent hour that advanced many of the plots.
Sarah's heart was in the right place as she traversed this area that hadn't been as affected by the nuclear blasts as the other locations we've visited throughout Fear the Walking Dead Season 7.
The series excels when it delves into the finer details of characters, and for the most part, Sarah has spent her time on the periphery, so it was a nice change of pace to learn more about her.
It was just a shame we didn't get to see Wendell in the flesh to confirm his fate. Strand could be lying to Sarah to allow her to move on with her life and potentially become an...

Departure Day: When it comes to TV, is closure important?
If you happen to follow a decent number of TV critics on Twitter, you may have noticed a minor eruption of late. A schism has emerged, prompted by accounts like The Cancellation Bear, which concerns itself solely with the topic of whether or not series are likely to survive based on current ratings patterns. That may sound perfectly innocent on its own, but quite a few admirers have expressed the notion that they refuse to dive into a series if they get the sense that it will come to a premature end, thereby robbing them of closure. This idea has, naturally, left many critics incensed: isn’t TV a medium founded on chaos, on the thrill of working within limitations and at the whims of fickle audiences? Moreover, isn’t it silly to always want tidy resolution in the context...
