Netflix is Adding a Cult Classic Canceled Sci-Fi Series For the First Time, 8 Years After it Ended

Based on William Brinkley’s novel, The Last Ship stars Eric Dane, Rhona Mitra, and Charles Parnell. The story unfolds on a ship heading to the Arctic with a scientist on board. When Dr. Rachel Scott (Mitra) is attacked, Captain Tom Chandler (Dane) discovers a virus has decimated over half the world’s population while his crew was away. Instead of following orders to return home, the Captain decides to develop a vaccine onboard, relying on the expertise of Dr. Shaw, who is hiding some secrets.

27 Years Later, This Hated X-Men Release Deserves Way More Respect

Looking back at the X-Men comics after the huge success of “Age of Apocalypse,” things got really messy. There was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama with writers – Scott Lobdell essentially forced Mark Waid out, then left himself for Fantastic Four. We saw a quick turnover with Joe Kelly and Steve Seagle, and finally, Alan Davis took over in 1998. Davis was given a specific mission: to wrap up the ’90s era of extreme X-Men storytelling and tie up loose ends. This led to “The Twelve,” a storyline that’s gotten a lot of hate over the years, and honestly, the entire Davis run is often criticized. But here’s my controversial take: I actually think it’s a surprisingly solid and entertaining story. It deserves a second look and way more respect than it gets.

New Harry Potter Reboot Footage Reveals More of the One Thing The Movies Wasted

I was so thrilled to see the restored footage from the second Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff Quidditch match! It always felt like a loss when Chris Columbus cut it from the original movie, especially because it really highlighted Harry’s growing suspicions about Snape. It’s fantastic that it’s been added back in. We get some wonderful moments – seeing Ron, Hermione, and Harry by the moving stairs at Hogwarts, Harry walking onto the Quidditch pitch, the team getting ready before the match, and even a glimpse of Harry chatting with Mr. Ollivander in his shop. It’s a real treat for fans!
