Episode 4 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is the strongest episode yet, skillfully combining large-scale galactic events with a deeply personal look at its characters. The episode reveals a devastating blow to the Klingons: their home planet, Qo’noS, was destroyed in the Burn, bringing the entire race to the brink of extinction. This makes Jay-Den, the sole Klingon currently in Starfleet, a compelling and tragic figure, essentially a reverse of the iconic Next Generation character Worf.

This is a developing story…

Vin Diesel, known for his role in the Fast & Furious series, announced on Instagram that the franchise will continue beyond the current films. He shared a photo with his late co-star Paul Walker and wrote a message about their shared journey and lasting impact, revealing a release date of March 17, 2028, with the title “FAST FOREVER.” This suggests the series will continue with new installments, a shift from earlier plans for the films.

In 2024 and continuing into 2025, Bluey was the most-streamed TV series. A recent Nielsen report shows the Disney+ animated show reached over 45 billion minutes of viewing time, surpassing even popular Netflix titles. Stranger Things logged just over 39 billion minutes, while Grey’s Anatomy actually exceeded it with over 40 billion. With an animated spin-off planned for Stranger Things this year, it remains to be seen if the franchise can challenge Bluey‘s dominance in 2026.

This is especially true for the Watch Dogs series, which aimed to compete with Rockstar’s popular GTA games while also bringing fresh ideas to open-world adventures. Ubisoft’s efforts to create something unique were often successful, but the series always felt like it was still developing. Unfortunately, if recent rumors are correct, Ubisoft has now cancelled the Watch Dogs franchise, meaning it likely won’t reach its full potential.

Popular superhero shows often explain their fantastical elements with science – things like advanced technology, lab mishaps, or genetic changes. Other shows, however, lean into magic, natural superpowers, and supernatural dangers more commonly seen in fantasy stories. Luckily, for viewers who enjoy when superheroes and the mystical world collide, there’s been a growing number of highly enjoyable shows to rewatch in recent years.

As you might remember, our publisher has a long-standing tradition of hosting a design contest for one of the game’s bosses.

Uncle Leo is that relative who always wants to talk – for a long time. But if you try to politely end the conversation, he’ll make you feel like you’re being impolite. This habit, it turns out, started with something called a “Pony Remark.”

I’m really excited about this new show! They’re not giving away much about the plot yet, but apparently, Lindelof is approaching it like he did with Watchmen. It won’t be a direct copy of the book, but more of a deeper dive into the story and characters. Knowing McKinty’s work, which is seriously dark and twisty, that’s a pretty bold move, but I’m intrigued to see where he takes it!

The studio seems to be aiming to handle publishing itself, wanting quicker decisions, easier communication, and more influence over how players experience their games. While the full impact of this change isn’t clear yet, it’s been reported that the planned team-up for the delayed Hitman project is now off the table.
