After making history as the highest-funded film/TV project in Kickstarter history, The Legend of Vox Machina was quickly scooped up by Prime Video, who not only served as distributor, but green lit a second season before the first had even dropped on Prime Video—a glowing stamp of approval if ever there was one. In the wake of resoundingly positive fan and critical reception, Prime Video similarly renewed Vox Machina for a third installment midway through the release of season two—but just how long will critters have to wait before returning to Exandria?

That deprives viewers of some important nuance and warps our sense of aging IRL.

Let’s be honest: A large percentage of our interest in Bridgerton lies in its steamy sex scenes. This season, a fair percentage of them went to the central couple of Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), who finally consummated their relationship over and over while also dealing with their very real flaws and personal growth.

Thankfully, there are actual experts who put in the years of work available to correct those assumptions.

Why did Sony buy the Alamo Drafthouse?

Alamo will now be managed by a new Sony division called “Sony Pictures Experiences,” which will presumably aim to provide “experiences” for movie audiences beyond the actual films Sony makes.

He* gave us the endearingly anxiety-ridden Adira Tal and showed us that respecting non-binary identities really isn’t that difficult. The Mary Sue had a chance to chat with del Barrio about, among other things, what he believes the impact of Discovery’s inclusion has been on a mainstream pop culture that has historically whitewashed and homogenized the human experience. Del Barrio’s casting on Discovery dovetailing with his coming-out journey made certain things clearer to him.

The adaptation itself is worthwhile, whether you’ve played League of Legends or not. Think pieces galore cite The Last of Us as a turning point for quality game adaptations. But we’ve already had great ones. Arcane is one of them. Sadly, Jinx and Vi’s story is coming to a close with the show’s upcoming second season. However, Riot Games promises that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of the world of League of Legends.

The Mary Sue had the chance to sit down with the actor-director to talk about his experience directing on Star Trek: Discovery, including the penultimate episode of its final season, “Lagrange Point,” as well as half of the finale, which Frakes didn’t realize was the series finale until after they’d shot it:

Season 2 is already inspiring bad-faith skepticism based on leaked photos from the set, but a recent interview with Mazin and Druckmann about the seasons to come should set minds at ease. In an interview with Deadline, the showrunners revealed that season two of The Last of Us will consist of seven episodes, which will be shorter than its nine-episode first season.

Michael Burnham is an amazing, complex character who’s been a joy, if intermittently frustrating, to watch for five seasons. Ever since Michael started a war with the Klingons, was arrested for mutiny, and was reinstated to commander in season one of Discovery, she’s been overcorrecting to atone for her mistakes while missing the point. She was imprisoned for taking it upon herself to decide what needed to be done to prevent a war.

Short Treks is a series of short, standalone episodes that illuminate the stories of the full-length series, and Discovery’s recent finale finally addressed the events of one of the very first Short Treks.

From a beautiful score to classic 1940s-’50s needle drops, they found the perfect balance to capture the sound of the Wasteland. Recently, I had the chance to geek out with them a little bit about their process for creating the sonic landscape of the new Fallout show while paying homage to the games it’s adapting.

Despite League of Legends adaptation Arcane being animated, it’s no less effective an adaptation and no less ambitious. It’s a story told through beautiful artwork, brilliant writing, and compelling voice performances led by Hailee Steinfeld as Vi and Ella Purnell (who plays Lucy on Fallout!) as her sister, Jinx.

1. What’s the deal with Lee Moldaver?

TMS‘ Sarah Barrett touches on many of the questions viewers have about Lee Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury). Namely, how the heck has she survived intact since before the Great War? Cooper Howard is now a ghoul. Hank MacLean was a Vault-Tec employee frozen in a cryopod, as was every Vault 33 overseer. So, where does Moldaver fit into all this? She’s clearly not a ghoul, so she must have been frozen at some point. But where, how, and by whom?

Like Nolan, Wagner and Robertson-Dworet were already fans of games in the Fallout series when they started work on the show. So I was curious about what, if anything, from their personal gameplay or interests in the games found their way into the show.
