In episode 5 “Night,” Qimir (Jacinto) is revealed to be the Stranger, and what we all were gifted with was a lot of arms—arms killing, arms flexing … arms. It broke us. So many of us could not stop talking about arms, and the entire internet had to have a “come to Jesus” moment about Jason Mendoza from The Good Place. (Not me, I was already there, but I guess I’m different.)

What happened to Marcus in The Bear Season 2?

Marcus Brooks starts The Bear season 2 with big dreams. He wants to be the Julia Child of pastry chefs but with less butter involved. If only his ailing mother was a little less ailing. Then he could devote all his attention to his craft rather than worry about her. Thankfully, he dips on her and galavants over to Copenhagen, where he is trained by pastry guru Luca (Will Poulter). Luca gives Marcus some pastry tricks and a few life lessons along the way. “Don’t be the greatest, but just the best you can be,” is the gist of it.

What is a Burger Dog?

Burger Dog is not actually the result of dog-on-dog cannibalism, despite what the name would have you believe. Burger Dog is not even a food whatsoever. Burger Dog is a person. A musical artist, to be specific. Burger Dog also just so happens to be the title of the very first Bluey minisode.

Many of Trevaldwyn’s fans were aware that he would make an appearance in the show, as he posted images from the show’s red carpet premiere on Instagram. However, he did not disclose whom he would be portraying in the show. Before appearing in The Acolyte, Trevaldwyn boasted a role in The Bubble and made guest appearances in shows like The Outlaws and Smothered. He gained even more recognition when it was announced that he would portray Tuffnut in the live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie, slated to release next year.

But the biggest enemy of House Targaryen has always been their need to be secretive and keep up pretenses, which leads to miscommunication. It screwed them over during the Dance of the Dragons, ending their reign over the Seven Kingdoms that Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters so painstakingly brought with fire and blood. And as if that wasn’t a lesson enough, they continued to let Aegon’s dream and their pretenses ruin them a second time, losing them the Iron Throne and almost ending their line!

The parallels between Hong Hae-in and Go Mi-ho announcing their terminal illnesses during press conferences have been eerily similar. Those who’ve watched both dramas will also notice how similar Hyun-woo’s reaction is to Chang-ho’s once his wife made her condition public. Both scenarios had been heartbreaking to hear, even for those in front of their streaming devices.

Dexter premiered on October 1, 2006, and wrapped up its original run on September 22, 2013. The eighth season was not particularly popular among fans, especially because Dexter’s sister Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) spends the season in a downward spiral that, unfortunately for her, doesn’t end until she hits rock bottom. By the end of the series, Debra meets a rather inauspicious demise, but how … and who done it?

With its grounded, relatable characters, clever sci-fi conceit, and layered storytelling, Supacell delivers a memorable first season, but its time-travel heavy storyline can be a little difficult to follow, even for genre vets. Luckily, you’ve got me here to help you break down all the portal-hopping, timeline altering, and power-siphoning that goes down in the Supacell season one finale.

Like it or not, Star Wars is, at its core, about love. Yes, X-wings and TIE fighters aside, George Lucas’ original vision for the franchise resembles something closer to a soap opera than a sci-fi epic, with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Padmé Amidala’s (Natalie Portman) forbidden romance being a central focus of the prequel trilogy. And with love comes, well … “Hey, point that thing somewhere else!”

Bandit and Chilli always have to find ways of entertaining their daughters, Bluey and Bingo. They always find some way of being fun and keeping their daughters’ imagination alive, and that is exactly why these minisodes are so special! They give us a brief look into their daily lives and how they all keep the fun going.

In episode 6 “Teach/Corrupt,” we get to see a story split between the twins: Mae (Amandla Stenberg) with Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae) and Osha (Stenberg) with Qimir (Manny Jacinto) on an unknown planet. But that doesn’t stop the Jedi Order from messing with them. Vernestra Rwoh (Rebecca Henderson) is going to find Sol and help him (despite her hatred of flying), and her actions are a bit suspect.

If Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a lanky, quick-witted Jedi Padawan with a British twang and luscious red locks to boot, well, think again, because the latest episode of The Acolyte, titled “Teach/Corrupt,” just brought someone new to the table. Behold, Harry Trevaldwyn’s Mog, who’s the kind of guy who will remind you to down some Dramamine and ginger ale before a 6 AM flight. You might recognize this actor from My Lady Jane, which is also enjoying a solid run on streaming. So, who is Mog, and what will his role be in the greater Star Wars universe?

The latest episode of The Acolyte explores the aftermath of the devastating battle on Khofar as the remaining Jedi and Qimir (Manny Jacinto) go their opposite ways. As for the latter, he takes Osha (Amandla Stenberg) to an entirely different planet. Usually, when Star Wars movies or shows arrive on a planet, the planet’s name will appear on a title card. However, The Acolyte makes an unusual move, simply referring to the planet as an “Unknown Planet.” The planet where Qimir is stationed has one extremely valuable and rare resource: Cortosis. In Star Wars canon, Cortosis primarily existed on the planets Dinzo and Mokivj, but this planet doesn’t appear to be either of those.

Browsing X like we do the day after a new HOTD episode has aired, I came across tweets from fans displeased that once again, we get an episode where everyone’s just talking about war, and the actual war isn’t being fought. “Why didn’t Baela Targaryen let Moondancer ‘dracarys’ Ser Criston and Ser Gwayne?” “What happened to Rhaenyra’s rage after losing Luke? Why is she making pleas to the enemy to stop the war?” “Why was the Battle of the Burning Mill not shown?”

By the end of D.I. Ray season 2, episode 3, “The Hunt for Rav,” she does at least have a solid lead, however, though it certainly came at a price. After visiting her corrupt cop of an ex-fiancé, who once again tried to use their history to manipulate her, she now knows she needs to find a man named Lou Kirby, a co-founder of the Chapman gang. As her ex, Martyn (Jamie Bamber), reveals, Kirby was released from a 20-year stint in prison less than a month before Frank Chapman was brutally murdered. Coincidence? Perhaps not.
