When Doctor Who first aired in 1963, William Hartnell, as the First Doctor, brought his initial companions – teachers Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton – inside the TARDIS. The original idea was for the TARDIS to disguise itself by changing its appearance to match its surroundings using a ‘chameleon circuit’. However, creating a different exterior for the TARDIS each time became too expensive. So, the writers decided the circuit was broken and couldn’t be fixed. It wasn’t until 50 years later that the show provided a story within the show explaining how the chameleon circuit failed, resulting in the TARDIS’s famous blue police box design.

The X-Men comics have always had compelling villains, and that really paid off during the recent ‘Krakoa Era.’ While familiar faces like Apocalypse and Mystique played key roles in building the mutant nation, one villain particularly shone: Exodus.

Exodus has had a really well-developed story arc, and fans are eager to see more of him in future comics.

After becoming a massive hit in theaters, Barbie – one half of the summer’s “Barbenheimer” sensation – is now available to stream on Tubi.

Almost fifty years ago, Star Trek accidentally created a unique continuity moment that’s unlikely to be repeated. Due to a strange combination of release timing and miscommunication between the show’s writers, a Starfleet character was brought back to life before she was even written as having died – though it didn’t last forever.
